A book that will open eyes to the most serious problem of our times.In the case of the US Government versus Enron, the presiding judge chose to employ the legal concept of willful blindness: you are responsible if you could have known, and should have known, something which instead you strove not to see. The guilty verdict sent shivers down the spine of the corporate world. In this book, Margaret Heffernan draws on psychological studies, social statistics, interviews with relevant protagonists, and her own experience to throw light on willful blindness and why whistleblowers and Cassandras are so rare. Ranging freely through history and from business to science, government to the family, this engaging and anecdotal book will explain why willful blindness is so dangerous in a globalized, interconnected world, before suggesting ways in which institutions and individuals can start to combat it. Margaret Heffernan's thought-provoking book will force us to open our eyes.

Margaret Heffernan argues that the biggest threats and dangers we face are the ones we don't see--not because they're secret or invisible, but because we're willfully blind. A distinguished businesswoman and writer, she examines the phenomenon and traces its imprint in our private and working lives, and within governments and organizations, and asks: What makes us prefer ignorance? What are we so afraid of? Why do some people see more than others? And how can we change?Covering everything from our choice of mates to the SEC, Bernard Madoff's investors, the embers of BP's refinery, the military in Afghanistan, and the dog-eat-dog world of subprime mortgage lenders, this provocative book demonstrates how failing to see--or admit to ourselves or our colleagues--the issues and problems in plain sight can ruin private lives and bring down corporations. Heffernan explains how willful blindness develops before exploring ways that institutions and individuals can combat it. In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Margaret Heffernan's Willful Blindness is a tour de force on human behavior that will open your eyes.

Le syriaque a ete une langue de culture majeure en Syrie-Mesopotamie du IIe au XIIIe siecle de l'ere chretienne. Fruit des contacts et du metissage a la frontiere des Empires romain et parthe, cette forme d'arameen n'etait la langue ni d'un Etat ni d'un peuple particulier. Mais avec la christianisation, le syriaque a connu un developpement exceptionnel. Il s'est repandu de la Mediterranee a l'Asie orientale et constitue aujourd'hui encore la langue classique, litteraire et religieuse de plusieurs Eglises orientales. Le syriaque est a cote du latin et du grec la troisieme composante du christianisme ancien, ancree dans l'hellenisme mais egalement descendante de l'antiquite proche-orientale et semitique. Des les premiers siecles, dans un mouvement symetrique a celui de la tradition chretienne greco-latine vers l'ouest, le christianisme syriaque s'est developpe vers l'est, jusqu'en Inde et en Chine. Il a aussi ete la branche du christianisme la plus en contact avec l'islam au sein duquel il a continue a vivre. Avec plus de 100 illustrations, 11 cartes en couleurs, une chronologie et de nombreux textes des differentes epoques cites en encarts, cet ouvrage sans precedent invite a la decouverte de plus de 2000 ans d'histoire et de culture syriaques.

"A withering examination of how the celebration of cultural and ethnic difference obscures our yawning economic divide . . . This is a refreshing, angry, and important book." ―The Atlantic MonthlyAcclaimed as "eloquent" (Chicago Tribune), "cogent" (The New Yorker), and "impossible to disagree with" (The Washington Post); excoriated as a "wildly implausible" product of "the ‘shock and awe' school of political argument" (Slate), The Trouble with Diversity argues that our enthusiastic celebration of "difference" masks our neglect of the difference that really matters―the one between rich and poor. A magnificent skewer of pieties, Walter Benn Michaels takes on the many manifestations of our devotion―from affirmative action, to the worship of multiculturalism, to the obsession with heritage and identity―demonstrating that diversity offers a false vision of social justice, one that conveniently costs us nothing. In a daring break with both the left and the right, he calls for less attention to the illusory distinction of culture and more attention to the real discrepancies of class and wealth.

Shows how to build wealth and improve your life by focusing more on your passions and less on Wall Street hype.

An inspirational, low-stress way to financial security in 1998, Bill Schultheis wrote a simple investment book for people who felt overwhelmed by the bull market. He had discovered that when you simplify your investment decisions, you end up getting better returns. As a bonus, you gain more time for family, friends, and other pursuits. A decade later, through good times and bad, this philosophy has been proven to tower above the daily chatter of Wall Street. And the revised and expanded edition of his book is more valuable than ever. In a conversational style, Schultheis explains why we should stop thinking about cool stocks, hot mutual funds, trends in interest rates, and predictions for the economy. Stop trying to beat the stock market average; just remember three simple principles: ? Don?t put all your eggs in one basket ? There?s no such thing as a free lunch ? Save for a rainy day The New Coffeehouse Investor will help readers get their finances in shape quickly and painlessly.
