An updated and expanded edition of The International Monetary System, 1945-1976. This is the most authoritative account we have of the great trek from Bretton Woods to Jamaica. As a key official of the Federal Reserve Board, the author was deeply involved in most of the episodes of crisis and reform in the 1960s and 1970s. There are no indiscreet revelations but simply first-hand details, sharp appraisals of some leading participants and, above all, good economics and clear writing. The step-by-step treatment that combines narrative and analysis will make the book a major reference work for a long time to come. -- William Diebold, Jr.

We live our lives through our emotions, writes Robert Solomon, and it is our emotions that give our lives meaning. What interests or fascinates us, who we love, what angers us, what moves us, what bores us--all of this defines us, gives us character, constitutes who we are. In True to Our Feelings, Solomon illuminates the rich life of the emotions--why we don't really understand them, what they really are, and how they make us human and give meaning to life. Solomon provides a guide to cutting-edge scientific research, as well as to what philosophers and psychologists have said on the subject, but he also emphasizes the personal and ethical character of our emotions. He shows that emotions are not something that happen to us, nor are they irrational in the literal sense--rather, they are judgments we make about the world, and they are strategies for living in it. Fear, anger, love, guilt, jealousy, compassion--they are all essential to our values, to living happily, healthily, and well.

This revised, extended and updated edition of Robert Solomon's well-received The Transformation of the World Economy assesses the remarkable changes in the world economy in recent decades. The impact of marketization, of "globalization" in both industry and finance and of increased policy co-ordination as a response at regional and global levels are analyzed, as are the changing philosophies of economic policy in the US, Britain, Western Europe, the USSR, Russia and Eastern Europe, China, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.

The Transformation of the World Economy

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

The premise of this ethical theory anthology is that the study of ethics represents, above all else, participation in the thinking of a long tradition of philosophers. Organized historically by philosopher, the book provides an introductory chapter on ethical concepts and helpful commentary and study questions throughout the reading selections. Morality and the Good Life is substantial enough for a full course in ethics, but it is concise enough to allow the instructor time to include other approaches in addition to the classic texts and materials presented in this volume.

Account management is an ephemeral pursuit, not easily characterized by a precise skill set or checklist of responsibilities. Perhaps this is why so little has been written on account service, and why there are few sources account people can turn to if they want to refresh, refine, or confirm what they know. 
"Brain Surgery for Suits" fills this need. It is indispensable for the veteran account person, for anyone new to or considering a career in account management, or anyone in between. With 56 ideas organized in ten fast-reading chapters, "Brain Surgery" outlines how to build better client relationships, work smarter with colleagues, develop more precise strategy briefs, make more effective presentations, run more productive meetings, and generally transform yourself from a capable account person into a superb one.

A practical guide for providing exceptional client service Most advertising and marketing people would claim great client service is an elusive, ephemeral pursuit, not easily characterized by a precise skill set or inventory of responsibilities; this book and its author argue otherwise, claiming there are definable, actionable methods to the role, and provide guidance designed to achieve more effective work. Written by one of the industry's most knowledgeable client services executives, the book begins with a definition, then follows a path from an initial new business win to beginning, building, losing, then regaining trust with clients. It is a powerful source of counsel for those new to the business, for industry veterans who want to refresh or validate what they know, and for anyone in the middle of the journey to get better at what they do.
