Imagine if you could identify your business's most profitable customers, craft a better marketing strategy to communicate with them, and inspire them to buy more? Well now you can. And the best part is that you can do it using the data you already have. Today, everything we do creates data, and the volumes are enormous. Virtually every time someone views something online, enters search on Google, or even surfs the web on a smart phone, another chunk gets added to the trove of data.

Todos los días vivimos y escuchamos historias de discriminación hacia el indefenso, la que destaca o, simplemente, los diferentes. HA LLEGADO EL MOMENTO DE TOMAR LA PALABRA: Hagamos del mundo, entre todos, un lugar mejor. Queremos creer que se trata de algo lejano, pero en realidad está más cerca de lo que creemos. Lo vemos en la calle, en la escuela. A veces, tristemente, en nuestros hogares. Todos los días escuchamos historias de odio y discriminación, historias que nos hacen pensar hacia dónde va el mundo. Es momento de cambiar.

India is at a crossroads today. Its growth rate, while respectable relative to other large countries, is too low for the jobs our youth need. Intense competition in low-skilled manufacturing, increasing protectionism globally and growing automation make the situation still more difficult. In this book, the authors explain how we can accelerate economic development by investing in our people’s human capital, expanding opportunities in high-skilled services and manufacturing centered on innovative new products, and making India a ferment of ideas and creativity.

Internationally renowned financial expert and best-selling author David Bach has always urged listeners to put their financial lives in line with their values. But what if your values are a cleaner and greener earth? Most people think that "going green" is an expensive choice they can't afford. Bach is here to say that you can have both: a life in line with your green values and a million dollars in the bank.

America today confronts a host of urgent problems, many of them seemingly intractable but some we are entirely capable of solving. In Five Easy Theses, James M. Stone presents specific commonsense solutions to a handful of our most pressing challenges, showing how simple it would be to shore up Social Security, rein in an out-of-control financial sector, reduce inequality, and make health care and education better and more affordable.

En este libro pionero, Karlan y Appel conjugan la economía del comportamiento con la investigación de campo. Llevan a sus lectores consigo por pueblos de todo el mundo–desde Ghana hasta Kenia pasando por Sudáfrica, la India y Filipinas, Perú y México–en los que la teoría económica choca con la realidad. Muestran que ciertos cambios en la banca, los seguros, la asistencia sanitaria, la educación junto con otras iniciativas que tienen en cuenta la irracionalidad humana pueden mejorar radicalmente el bienestar de la gente pobre en todo el mundo.

Golondrinas es un barrio marginal de Ecatepec, en la periferia de la Ciudad de México.y en el imaginario mexicano, Ecatepec es el infierno. La cuestión es que Golondrinas es el futuro del mundo: en 2050, nueve de cada 10 mexicanos vivirán en slums como éste. Es el pasado, el presente y el futuro de un planeta que se empobrece, se precariza y se sobrecalienta.

A los ojos del autor nada es más urgente que superar la voluntad ciega del progreso per se. Este libro pone énfasis en el caso mexicano pero aborda un fenómeno característico de la globalidad. Ofrece una recomendación concreta: el saber, el poder y el dinero han de concentrarse en organismos piramidales que abandonen el espejismo del progreso. El cielo que nos tiene prometido el progreso, no acaba nunca de llegar.

And once again, they provide a penetrating, coherent way to make sense of the seemingly senseless.

Como muestra Press, cada vez estamos más protegidos y distanciados de una serie de actividades moralmente cuestionables.

Are You Ready to Be Rich? If you want to get rich, if you want to be wealthier than you are today, you really need to do only four things. That's right, just four things: you need to make a decent living, you need to spend less than you make, you need to invest the money you don't spend so that it can work as hard for you as you're working for yourself, and you need to protect yourself and this financial world you've built so that a disaster, big or small, doesn't take it all away from you.

This book is a critical assessment of five years of the brand of economics Prime Minister Narendra Modi has championed, often referred to as "Modinomics". Brought into power with the biggest political mandate in almost three decades, did the NDA government succeed in gainfully transforming India's economic trajectory or did it squander a once-in-a-generation opportunity? The book conjectures it is the latter, and analyses why the Modi government's stewardship of the economy is a "great disappointment".

In 1980 Doris Christopher, a former home economist and teacher, was itching to get back into the workforce after an eight-year hiatus as a stay-at-home mom. Drawing on her personal and professional expertise, and determined to make cooking easier and more convenient for families, she started selling high-quality kitchen tools through cooking demonstrations to groups of women in their homes. Today, the company she started in her basement, The Pampered Chef, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Before the global financial meltdown of 2008, India's economy was thriving and its GDP growth was cruising at an impressive 8.8 percent. The economic boom impacted a large section of Indians, even if unequally. With sustained high growth over an extended period, India could have achieved what economists call a "take-off" (rapid and self-sustained GDP growth). The global financial meltdown disrupted this momentum in 2008.

Economics affects our daily lives, and Christians need to think about how to apply biblical principles to money, investment, borrowing, and spending. They also need to understand the free enterprise system and know how to defend capitalism. Chapters in this book not only look at broad economic principles, but a section of the book is devoted to the challenges we face in the 21st century from globalization and tough economic times. A section of the book also provides an in-depth look at other important social and economic issues (gambling, welfare) that we face every day. Some questions that...

Our kids are smart, our banks are sound, our health care system is humane, our democracy is stable - but technological change is about to disrupt our economy and threaten our way of life. Canadians aren't ready for the race to the future. Can we still catch up - or even win? Yes, says Anthony Lacavera, one of Canada's most successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. But we need to change the way we think and talk about our own abilities - dream bigger, aim higher, and go for gold, not bronze.
