AUTHOR: James Rickards

PUBLISHER: Portfolio Hardcover

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the U.S. off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar.

AUTHOR: Andrew Feinstein

PUBLISHER: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

This is the harrowing behind-the-scenes tale of the global arms trade, revealing the deadly collusion that all too often exists among senior politicians, weapons manufacturers, felonious arms dealers and the military - a situation that compromises our security and undermines our democracy.

AUTHOR: Karl Gerth

While Westerners have become increasingly worried about China’s competition for manufacturing jobs and energy resources, they have overlooked an even bigger story: China’s rapid development of a U.S.-style consumer culture, which is revolutionizing the lives of millions of Chinese and has the potential to reshape the world.

Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World

AUTHOR: Stuart Diamond

PUBLISHER: Crown Business

Based on more than 20 years of research and practice among 30,000 people in 45 countries, “Getting More” concludes that finding and valuing the other party’s emotions and perceptions creates far more value than the conventional wisdom of power and logic. It is intended to provide better agreements for everyone no matter what they negotiate - from jobs to kids, to billion-dollar deals to shopping.
