Book Synopsis The Third Pillar by : Raghuram Rajan
Download or read book The Third Pillar written by Raghuram Rajan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and updated Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award From one of the most important economic thinkers of our time, a brilliant and far-seeing analysis of the current populist backlash against globalization. Raghuram Rajan, distinguished University of Chicago professor, former IMF chief economist, head of India's central bank, and author of the 2010 FT-Goldman-Sachs Book of the Year Fault Lines, has an unparalleled vantage point onto the social and economic consequences of globalization and their ultimate effect on our politics. In The Third Pillar he offers up a magnificent big-picture framework for understanding how these three forces--the state, markets, and our communities--interact, why things begin to break down, and how we can find our way back to a more secure and stable plane. The "third pillar" of the title is the community we live in. Economists all too often understand their field as the relationship between markets and the state, and they leave squishy social issues for other people. That's not just myopic, Rajan argues; it's dangerous. All economics is actually socioeconomics - all markets are embedded in a web of human relations, values and norms. As he shows, throughout history, technological phase shifts have ripped the market out of those old webs and led to violent backlashes, and to what we now call populism. Eventually, a new equilibrium is reached, but it can be ugly and messy, especially if done wrong. Right now, we're doing it wrong. As markets scale up, the state scales up with it, concentrating economic and political power in flourishing central hubs and leaving the periphery to decompose, figuratively and even literally. Instead, Rajan offers a way to rethink the relationship between the market and civil society and argues for a return to strengthening and empowering local communities as an antidote to growing despair and unrest. Rajan is not a doctrinaire conservative, so his ultimate argument that decision-making has to be devolved to the grass roots or our democracy will continue to wither, is sure to be provocative. But even setting aside its solutions, The Third Pillar is a masterpiece of explication, a book that will be a classic of its kind for its offering of a wise, authoritative and humane explanation of the forces that have wrought such a sea change in our lives.

Book Synopsis Pillars Of Community by : Terrence G. Kardong
Download or read book Pillars Of Community written by Terrence G. Kardong and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has explored a great Romanesque church has been impressed, even awed, by the mighty stone foundations supporting the great central tower. As four pillars give a firm base to these soaring structures, so four ancient Rules stand beneath the foundations of Western monasticism, giving a structure on which later spiritual architects, Benedict among them, would build. In this book Terrence Kardong explores the lives and Rules of four of the earliest monastic writers-Basil, Pachomius, Augustine, and the anonymous author of the rules of Lerins. In engaging fashion he shows how the lives and social milieu of these earliest founders shaped their monasticism. For example, readers will learn that: Basil of Caesarea learned the monastic way from his sister Macrina. Augustine shunned the term "monk" because of the bad reputation of local monks associated with the Donatist heresy. Pachomian Rule instructs on the use of boats and how to hang out the wash in the burning Egyptian sun. The Rules of Lerins begin with a call to community but then focus their attention on the superior. Yet as varied as these Rules are, they are based on the same fundamental understanding of what a Christian monk and a Christian community should be; thus they furnish a solid foundation for the great edifice still to come.

Book excerpt: "Anybody who manages or sits on the board of a nonprofit organization will find great insight in this book on the four pillars of leadership. " John McIlquham, President, NPT Publishing Group, Inc. Does your nonprofit organization suffer from a non-profit mentality? Are you too preoccupied with daily challenges to focus on your mission, build your vision, nurture relationships with constituents, and last but not least create a positive operating margin? Dennis C. Miller has solutions for nonprofit organizations that know they must up their game in a world where they are competing with profit-driven institutions for limited talent and resources. Miller brings the nonprofit sector squarely into the 21st century and points the way forward, showing those who run or work for nonprofits: Why much more emphasis should be placed on training and on rewarding high performing employees. How all nonprofits must periodically reevaluate their mission to see if it is ambitious enough or perhaps too ambitious. Why measuring and then communicating success can enhance fundraising. How establishing your brand is as crucial for nonprofits as it is for the Fortune 500. Why you must think of your organization as if it had a stock price that can rise or fall. Often, people dont realize the potential for taking their nonprofit organization to new heights. But by the end of reading Millers guide they will learn to soar. They will be able to create a more positive image and a greater demand for their services, have more people wanting to become employees, board members and volunteers, achieve recognition for excellence in their field, and see an increase in donors and dollars.

Download or read book Be Near Me written by Andrew O'Hagan and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian debut of the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Our Fathers and Mayflies. In a small Scottish parish in a post-industrial town by the sea, an English priest with secrets in his own past becomes stalked by the fear of scandal, class hatred, and lost ideals. When Father David Anderton takes over a Scottish parish, not everyone is ready to accept him. Over the spring and summer of 2003, Father David befriends two young, troubled students, Mark and Lisa. Their natural energy and response to the world bring out his own feelings of protectiveness, as well as longings for parts of himself—and his past—that he has come to lose. This relationship and the way it develops leads to the book’s climax, as Father David finds himself facing accusations of abuse. Told from the point of view of Father David, we feel, beneath his need for order and emotional distance, the passionate undercurrents that have brought him to where he is. In this riveting novel, where every word counts, Andrew O’Hagan’s brilliant writing leads us into a story of art and politics, love and faith. Be Near Me possesses a depth of feeling and a literary artistry that render it O’Hagan’s masterpiece.
