The Cult of We WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the Great Startup Delusion【電子書籍】[ Eliot Brown ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong><em>WALL STREET JOURNAL</em> BESTSELLER ? A <em>FINANCIAL TIMES, FORTUNE,</em> AND NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ? “The riveting, definitive account of WeWork, one of the wildest business stories of our time.”ーMatt Levine, Money Stuff columnist, Bloomberg Opinion</strong></p> <p><strong>The definitive story of the rise and fall of WeWork (also</strong> <strong>depicted in the upcoming Apple TV+ series <em>WeCrashed,</em> starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), by the real-life journalists whose <em>Wall Street Journal</em> reporting rocked the company and exposed a financial system drunk on the elixir of Silicon Valley innovation.</strong></p> <p><strong>LONGLISTED FOR THE <em>FINANCIAL TIMES</em> AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD</strong></p> <p>WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech companyーan AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.</p> <p>This was the vision of Neumann and his primary cheerleader, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son. In hindsight, their ambition for the company, whose primary business was subletting desks in slickly designed offices, seems like madness. Why did so many intelligent peopleーfrom venture capitalists to Wall Street eliteーfall for the hype? And how did WeWork go so wrong?</p> <p>In little more than a decade, Neumann transformed himself from a struggling baby clothes salesman into the charismatic, hard-partying CEO of a company worth $47 billionーon paper. With his long hair and feel-good mantras, the six-foot-five Israeli transplant looked the part of a messianic truth teller. Investors swooned, and billions poured in.</p> <p>Neumann dined with the CEOs of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, entertaining a parade of power brokers desperate to get a slice of what he was selling: the country’s most valuable startup, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a generation-defining moment.</p> <p>Soon, however, WeWork was burning through cash faster than Neumann could bring it in. From his private jet, sometimes clouded with marijuana smoke, he scoured the globe for more capital. Then, as WeWork readied a Hail Mary IPO, it all fell apart. Nearly $40 billion of value vaporized in one of corporate America’s most spectacular meltdowns.</p> <p>Peppered with eye-popping, never-before-reported details, <em>The Cult of We</em> is the gripping story of careless and often absurd peopleーand the financial system they have made.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

How to Be a Dictator The Cult of Personality in the Twentieth Century【電子書籍】[ Frank Dik?tter ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of</strong> <em><strong>China After Mao</strong></em>**, a sweeping and timely study of twentieth-century dictators and the development of the modern cult of personality.**</p> <p>No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. In the twentieth century, as new technologies allowed leaders to place their image and voice directly into their citizens' homes, a new phenomenon appeared where dictators exploited the cult of personality to achieve the illusion of popular approval without ever having to resort to elections.</p> <p>In <em>How to Be a Dictator</em>, Frank Dik?tter examines the cults and propaganda surrounding twentieth-century dictators, from Hitler and Stalin to Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung. These men were the founders of modern dictatorships, and they learned from each other and from history to build their regimes and maintain their public images. Their dictatorships, in turn, have influenced leaders in the twenty-first century, including Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orb?n, and Xi Jinping.</p> <p>Using a breadth of archival research and his characteristic in-depth analysis, Dik?tter offers a stunning portrait of dictatorship, a guide to the cult of personality, and a map for exposing the lies dictators tell to build and maintain their regimes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Shinto Cult: A Christian Study of the Ancient Religion of Japan Enriched edition. Exploring the Mysteries of Shinto: A Christian Perspective on Ancient Japanese Religion【電子書籍】[ Milton Spenser Terry ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Shinto Cult: A Christian Study of the Ancient Religion of Japan," Milton Spenser Terry embarks on a meticulous exploration of Shinto, weaving a narrative that deftly balances scholarly rigor with accessible prose. Terry provides a thorough analysis of Shinto's rituals, beliefs, and historical context, situating this ancient Japanese religion within both its traditional roots and its interactions with Buddhism and Western religions. Employing a comparative lens, Terry does not shy away from examining the philosophical underpinnings of Shinto, thus enriching the reader's understanding of its significance in contemporary Japan and its impact on Japanese identity. Milton Spenser Terry, an American theologian and scholar of interfaith dialogue, was uniquely positioned to undertake this study, motivated by a broader mission to foster understanding between Christianity and other world religions. His extensive background in theology and rich experiences living abroad informed his critical and empathetic approach, allowing him to appreciate the complexities of Shinto and its cultural significance, which he often juxtaposed with Christian principles. This book is an essential read for scholars, theologians, and those interested in Eastern religions, offering not only insight into Shinto practices but also thoughtful reflections on cultural exchange and the quest for spiritual understanding. Terry's balanced perspective invites readers to appreciate the beauty of Shinto while contemplating its implications for modern faith practices. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Cult of Creativity A Surprisingly Recent History【電子書籍】[ Samuel W. Franklin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A</strong> <em><strong>New Yorker</strong></em> <strong>Best Book of the Year. "A beautifully written and well-documented account of how creativity gained the societal value it has today." ーVlad Gl?veanu, author of</strong> <em><strong>Creativity</strong></em></p> <p>Creativity is one of American society's signature values, but the idea that there is such a thing as "creativity"ーand that it can be cultivatedーis surprisingly recent, entering our everyday speech in the 1950s. As Samuel W. Franklin reveals, postwar Americans created creativity, through campaigns to define and harness the power of the individual to meet the demands of American capitalism and life under the Cold War. Creativity was championed by a cluster of professionalsーpsychologists, engineers, and advertising peopleーas a cure for the conformity and alienation they feared was stifling American ingenuity. It was touted as a force of individualism and the human spirit, a new middle-class aspiration that suited the needs of corporate America and the spirit of anticommunism.</p> <p>Amid increasingly rigid systems, creativity took on an air of romance; it was a more democratic quality than genius, but more rarified than mere intelligence. The term eluded clear definition, allowing all sorts of people and institutions to claim it as a solution to their problems, from corporate dullness to urban decline. Today, when creativity is constantly sought after, quantified, and maximized, Franklin's eye-opening history of the concept helps us to see what it really is, and whom it really serves.</p> <p><strong>"</strong> <em><strong>The Cult of Creativity</strong></em> <strong>comes at a technological turning point. The emergence of generative-AI tools has given us the option of outsourcing our brainstorming, becoming prompt engineers to idea-spitting machines." ー</strong> <em><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Construction of the Self Developmental and Sociocultural Foundations【電子書籍】[ Susan Harter, PhD ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>An important work from a leading scholar, this book explores self-development from early childhood to adulthood. Susan Harter traces the normative stages that define the emergence of many self-processes, including self-esteem.

The Rise of the Agricultural Welfare State Institutions and Interest Group Power in the United States, France, and Japan【電子書籍】[ Adam D. Sheingate ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A long-dominant reading of American politics holds that public policy in the United States is easily captured by special interest groups. Countering this view, Adam Sheingate traces the development of government intervention in agriculture from its nineteenth-century origins to contemporary struggles over farm subsidies. His considered conclusion is that American institutions have not given agricultural interest groups any particular advantages in the policy process, in part because opposing lobbies also enjoy access to policymakers. In fact, the high degree of conflict and pluralism maintained by American institutions made possible substantial retrenchment of the agricultural welfare state during the 1980s and 1990s. In Japan and France--two countries with markedly different institutional characters than the United States--powerful agricultural interests and a historically close relationship between farmers, bureaucrats, and politicians continue to preclude a roll-back of farm subsidies.</p> <p>This well-crafted study not only puts a new spin on agricultural policy, but also makes a strong case for the broader claim that the relatively decentralized American political system is actually less prone to capture and rule by subgovernments than the more centralized political systems found in France and Japan. Sheingate's historical, comparative approach also demonstrates, in a widely useful way, how past institutional developments shape current policies and options.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity A Global Perspective【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity</em> examines the social, cultural, and political processes that shape the experience of taste. The book positions flavor as involving all the senses, and describes the multiple ways in which taste becomes tied to local, translocal, glocal, and cosmopolitan politics of identity. Global case studies are included from Japan, China, India, Belize, Chile, Guatemala, the United States, France, Italy, Poland and Spain.</p> <p>Chapters examine local responses to industrialized food and the heritage industry, and look at how professional culinary practice has become foundational for local identities. The book also discusses the unfolding construction of “local taste” in the context of sociocultural developments, and addresses how cultural political divides are created between meat consumption and vegetarianism, innovation and tradition, heritage and social class, popular food and authenticity, and street and restaurant food.</p> <p>In addition, contributors discuss how different food products-such as kimchi, quinoa, and Soylent-have entered the international market of industrial and heritage foods, connecting different places and shaping taste and political identities.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Dream Super-Express A Cultural History of the World's First Bullet Train【電子書籍】[ Jessamyn Abel ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A symbol of the "new Japan" displayed at World's Fairs, depicted in travel posters, and celebrated as the product of a national spirit of innovation, the T?kaid? Shinkansenーthe first bullet train, dubbed the "dream super-express"ーrepresents the bold aspirations of a nation rebranding itself after military defeat, but also the deep problems caused by the unbridled postwar drive for economic growth. At the dawn of the space age, how could a train become such an important symbol? In <em>Dream Super-Express</em>, Jessamyn Abel contends that understanding the various, often contradictory, images of the bullet train reveals how infrastructure operates beyond its intended use as a means of transportation to perform cultural and sociological functions. The multi-layered dreams surrounding this high-speed railway tell a history not only of nation-building but of resistance and disruption. Though it constituted neither a major technological leap nor a new infrastructural connection, the train enchanted, enthralled, and enraged government officials, media pundits, community activists, novelists, and filmmakers. This history of imaginations around the monumental rail system resists the commonplace story of progress to consider the tug-of-war over the significance of the new line. Is it a vision of the future or a reminder of the past, an object of international admiration or a formidable threat? Does it enable new relationships and identities or reify existing social hierarchies? Tracing the meanings assigned to high-speed rail shows how it prompted a reimagination of identity on the levels of individual, metropolis, and nation in a changing Japan.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
