This book by Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the USA for over 18 years, is different to most memoirs which tend to be written by people who are no longer active in the field of politics or by government figures. Instead, this book is a global economic analysis, at the heart of which lies his personal experience and outlook as a constant defender of the market system. For this reason, the book is made up of two sections. The first section shows the personality of the author and presents his viewpoints, while the second section is a conceptual basis for understanding the global economy in which we live today. The book examines the most important elements of the developing global environment: management principles dating back to the age of the Enlightenment; the energy infrastructure; global financial imbalances and fundamental changes to world demographics, with the threat of further developments in this field; concern as to the fairness of the distribution of wealth. The author concludes by giving his view of the world economy in 2030.

The scale and accuracy of his vision, the depth of analysis and his aphoristic language means that the author’s views are convincing and fascinating, while the book remains easy-to-read and enjoyable for the reader.

Our whole life is peppered with conflict. We are taught to avoid such conflicts, but George Kohlrieser, an expert in management psychology, a consultant and former negotiator, believes that we cannot turn our back on conflict. It is only by working through conflict that we are able to solve the most complex situations which arise both in business and in our personal lives. To use Kohlrieser’s terminology, “being a hostage” means feeling that you have been caught in a trap along with a sensation of impotency and helplessness. And this is when you can successfully use tried and tested methods which are put into practice when working with kidnappers. In order to resolve conflict, you should not ignore the problem. You need to determine what the problem is and examine it in detail. You must never think like a hostage and resign yourself to being the victim. You need to take advantage of the vast possibilities involved in dialogue and working together, based on the principle of mutuality.

Why are the headlights on American jeeps round? Why is the idea of making cheese from pasteurised milk doomed to failure in France? Why does the same advert have to be different in America, Germany or France? Because the perception of any item, phenomenon or concept, be it a car, food, relationships between people or even the country itself, is the product of very different childhood impressions and this perception lies within the deepest part of the brain, the part which is responsible for survival. The secret meaning of various images within each culture is very different. It is a type of lock which is opened with a code – a cultural code. The study of cultural codes has led psychologist Clotaire Rapaille to the world of business where his knowledge has been of immense practical use. His cultural codes theory has earned the renown it deserves and forms the basis of this masterpiece of scientific literature.
