SynopsisInvestigates eight dimensions of competition which are active yet covert in the lives of managers. Explains in great detail the everyday experiences of men and women and the ways in which different cultures at work and in wider society, particularly exposure to sport and media, affect and reflect the relationship between gender and competition., The Global Curse of the Federal Reserve reveals and explores the missing link between the Austrian School of Economics and behavioral finance theory. Monetary instability is the source of the waves of irrational exuberance (sometimes described as "asset price inflation"), which spread so much economic destruction and geopolitical turmoil when they break. The largest and most destructive waves in the past 100 years have all been powered by monetary turmoil created by the Federal Reserve. Dr. Brown argues that flawed monetary practice and principles-most recently in the form of Bernankeism-have been responsible for the Fedmade havoc. The author comes to two optimistic conclusions. First, political forces in the US will one day gain sufficient strength to repeal Bernankeism. But the new revolutionaries must learn from the mistakes of the first monetarist revolution. Brown argues for the end of the Fed as a policymaking institution. Second, it is possible for investors to build substantial protection for their wealth and even profit from monetary chaos unleashed by the Federal Reserve-but this depends on throwing overboard much of the established wisdom about optimal portfolio management., Competition is largely stuck in a stereotype of winning and losing which limits our understanding of the dynamic and how it can be effective in the workplace. The scarcity and challenge from models of competition which are found on the sports field are for many people the basis of their engagement. But competition in sport is bound by agreed rules and umpires, and does not easily translate into the workplace Are you competitive? This question is one many people struggle to answer in any detail because society generally turns a blind eye to competition outside of sport and trade in external markets. Using eight dimensions, competition is defined and discussed in this volume within the context of management to reinvigorate discussions of gender in the lives and relationships men and women managers encounter on a daily basis.
