Abstract

Beginning in the 1950s, Taiwan rapidly industrialized, becoming a tributary to an increasingly "borderless" East Asian economy. And though President Trump has called for the end of "American carnage"—the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs—domestic retailers and merchandisers still willingly ship production overseas, primarily to Taiwan. In this book, Gary G. Hamilton and Cheng-shu Kao show how Taiwanese businesspeople have played a tremendous, unsung role in their nation's continuing ascent. From prominent names like Pou Chen and Hon Hai to the owners of small and midsize firms, Taiwan's contract manufacturers have become the world's most sophisticated suppliers of consumer products the world over. Drawing on over 30 years of research and more than 800 interviews, Hamilton and Kao tell these industrialists' stories. The picture that emerges is one of agile neo-capitalists, caught in the flux of a rapidly changing landscape, who tirelessly endeavor to profit on it. Making Money reveals its subjects to be at once producers of economic globalization and its byproducts. While the future of Taiwanese business is uncertain, the durability of demand-led capitalism is not.

Abstract

Sir William Van Horne (1843–1915), connaisseur bourré de talent dont la renommée est surtout attribuable à sa contribution à la construction du Chemin de fer Canadien Pacifique, a assemblé l’une des collections les plus complètes de céramiques japonaises en Amérique du Nord. Obsession est un récit lumineux expliquant l’origine et l’évolution de sa passion envers l’étude et l’acquisition de près de 1 200 objets. Ron Graham dresse le profil du personnage plus grand que nature que fut Van Horne en plus de rassembler des essais sur la place qu’il a occupée au sommet des collectionneurs d’art dans le Mille carré doré, ou Golden Square Mile, de Montréal et la pérennité de sa collection après sa mort. En exergue des textes, le lecteur pourra découvrir des documents et des photographies historiques, un catalogue détaillé de plus de trois cents objets exposés au Musée royal de l’Ontario et au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, de même qu’une sélection de splendides reproductions des carnets de notes personnels de Van Horne et des aquarelles raffinées provenant des archives du Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario. Publié parallèlement à la tenue d’une importante exposition au musée Gardiner de Toronto et au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, Obsession présente une remarquable collection replacée dans le contexte de l’existence et de la carrière d’un géant du secteur canadien des affaires au dix-neuvième siècle.

Abstract

Effective financial planning for executives and entrepreneurs is complex, dense, and impossible to reduce to a single, easy-to-understand formula. Designed to emphasize the importance of effective, targeted financial planning, this book begins by telling a story about a fictional, but plausible, power couple and their family who (spoiler alert!) do pretty much everything wrong in securing their financial future. In most cases, they don’t do the things needed because they don’t know what they are. Using this story as a case study of executives and entrepreneurs, the book breaks down the case into chapters and offers practical discussions of all the key financial planning pillars—investment planning, tax planning, estate planning, philanthropic planning, risk management, and equity-based compensation to name a few—with the tools needed to tailor a plan for virtually every circumstance and need. While there is no single plan that works for everybody, this book will provide a guide with complicated, technical information alongside specific guidance on how to build an effective financial plan.
