The only biography of its kind, Lincolnomics narrates The Great Emancipator's untold legacy as The Great Builder of American infrastructure -- developer of an economic ladder to democracy through national transportation, public education, and market access. Lincoln's view of the right to fulfill one's economic destiny was at the core of his governing philosophy -- but he knew no one could climb that ladder without strong federal support. Some of his most enduring policies came to him before the Civil War, visions of a country linked by railroads running ocean to ocean, canals turning small towns into bustling cities, public works bridging farmers to market. Expertly appraising the foundational ideas and policies on infrastructure that America's sixteenth president rooted in society, John F. Wasik tracks Lincoln from his time in the 1830s as a young Illinois state legislator pushing internal improvements; through his work as a lawyer representing the Illinois Central Railroad in the 1840s; to his presidential fight for the Transcontinental Railroad; and his support of land-grant colleges that educated a nation. To Lincoln, infrastructure meant more than the roads, bridges, and canals he shepherded as a lawyer and a public servant. These brick-and-mortar developments were essential to a nation's lifting citizens above poverty and its isolating origins. Lincolnomics revives the disremembered history of how Lincoln paved the way for Eisenhower's interstate highways and FDR's social amenities. With an afterword addressing the failure of American infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how Lincoln's policies provide a guide to the future, Lincolnomics makes the case for the man nicknamed "The Rail Splitter" as the Presidency's greatest builder

Takto predpovedal budúcnosť geniálny vynálezca srbského pôvodu Nikola Tesla pri príležitosti svojich sedemdesiatych narodenín v roku 1926. O desaťročia neskôr sa z jeho mena stala značka, ktorá je synonymom pokroku a inovácií. Ako Tesla dokázal tak výrazne predbehnúť svoju dobu? Vďačí za to práve svojej výnimočnej schopnosti uvažovať kreatívne, nad rámec bežných súvislostí. A to je niečo, čo si môžete osvojiť tiež. Autor a teslofil John F. Wasik vám predstaví lekcie, vďaka ktorým sa naučíte premýšľať rovnako inovatívne aj vy.
'John Maynard Keynes als Börsenexperte und Investment-Pionier§§Kaum ein
anderer Ökonom hat die volkswirtschaftliche Lehre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts
stärker beeinflusst als der Brite John Maynard Keynes (1883 - 1946). Autor
John F. Wasik beleuchtet in seinem Buch 'Börsenerfolg mit der Keynes-Methode'
eine weitgehend unbekannte Facette im Denken und Handeln des Theoretikers:
Keynes als Börsenprofi und weitsichtiger Anleger. Seine 'Schlüssel zum
Wohlstand' gelten noch heute als 'solides Fundament für die Entwicklung und
Umsetzung einer intelligenten Anlagestrategie'.§§Aktien als 'Lieblinge'§§Im
Zentrum der Analyse steht die 'Allgemeine Theorie' von Keynes, mit der er die
Renditemöglichkeiten von Aktien zwischen 'Unternehmertum und Spekulation'
erörtert. Keynes wird als pragmatischer Marktbeobachter geehrt, der mit
Leidenschaft an der Börse handelte (er nannte seine Aktien 'Lieblinge'), aber
sich nicht in Versuchung bringen ließ, 'gegen die Brandung der Marktanalysten,
Stockpitcher, Wirtschafts-Schlagzeilen und Angeber' in den Börsenkanälen
anzukämpfen.§§Zehn Schlüssel für den Wohlstand mit Wertpapieren§§Wasik betont
in seinem Buch die praktischen Erkenntnisse und Lehren Keynes, die kein
Verfallsdatum kennen. Im gelungenen Schlusskapitel fasst er kurz und knapp
zehn Regeln für den 'Wohlstand nach Keynes' zusammen, die vor allem
Börseneinsteiger vor folgenreichen Fehlentscheidungen bewahren können. 'Gehen
Sie nicht mit der Menge' und 'Investieren Sie langfristig' gehören zu den
unumstritten besten Insidertipps. Und auch der gehört dazu: 'Trinken Sie mehr
Champagner'. Im übertragenen Sinne natürlich. Schalten Sie also Ihre
Geldanlage, nachdem Sie einen soliden Plan erstellt haben, auf Autopilot und
kontrollieren Sie sie nur einmal im Jahr. Und dann: Ziehen Sie los und leben
Sie!§§Roter-Reiter - Fazit: Mit seinem Buch 'Börsenerfolg mit der Keynes-
Methode' feiert Wasik den großen Ökonom nun auch als weitsichtigen Investment-
Experten. 'Keynes würde staunen, wie dauerhaft sich seine Ideen im Denken der
Anleger nach 80 Jahren halten.'' (Oliver Ibelshäuser, www.Roter-Reiter.de vom
19.4.2015)
