My grandfather always said there are three types of businesspeople. The first type makes mistakes and doesn’t learn from them. These people make the same mistakes again. The second type of businessperson makes mistakes and learns from them. They don’t make those mistakes again. The third type of businessperson learns from the mistakes of others so they never make those mistakes themselves. Of course, they do make some. But by learning from the mistakes of others, they save themselves time, headaches, and money. The Ugly Truth about Small Business: 50 Things That Can Go Wrong and What You Can Do about It will help you be the third type of businessperson.

The twentieth century might fairly be called the Bolshevik century. From the moment of the Soviet Union’s emergence after the October Revolution, the presence of this new historical actor on the world stage affected every important event. Its birth changed the fortunes of World War I. The Allied victory in World War II owed much to the prodigious human and material capacities the Soviets were able to mobilize— despite the prior loss of many millions and vast resources from the purges, gulags, collectivization, and man-made famines of the 1930s.1 So successful was the wartime effort that Stalin was able to bring into the Soviet sphere a number of other countries in Eastern Europe at the war’s end. The presence of the Soviet Union in the world shaped not only international but internal politics everywhere, from Western European social-welfare policies to the many Third-World struggles that advanced under Soviet aegis.

As the global financial crisis unfolds people everywhere are seeking to understand how markets devolved to this perilous, volatile state. In this dazzling and meticulously researched work of financial history, first published in 2003, and now thoroughly revised and updated, law professor and financial expert Frank Partnoy tells the story of how "classical" Wall Street securities like stocks and bonds were quietly eclipsed by ever more "quantum" products like derivatives. He documents how, starting in the mid-1980s, each new level of financial risk and complexity obscured the sickness of corporate America, and how Wall Street's evlving paradigm moved farther and farther beyond the understanding-and regulation-of ordinary investors and government overseers, leading inevitably to disaster.

This major new reference for students, faculty, and professionals of American corporate governance, modern financial history, and securities law begins with an examination of the collapse of the Enron Corporation and other financial scandals that arose in the wake of the market downturn of 2000. Jerry W. Markham, author of the award-winning Financial History of the United States and former SEC counsel, provides context and analysis to the modern era of corporate curruption. The book examines the SEC's full disclosure system in corporate governance and the role of accountants in that system, including Arthur Andersen LLP, the Enron auditor that collapsed after it was accused of obstructing justice. The author chronicles the meltdown in the telecom sector that gave rise to accounting scandals at Nortel, Lucent, Qwest, Global Crossing, Adelphia, and WorldCom. He traces other accounting and governance failures at Rite Aid, Xerox, Computer Associates, AOL Time Warner, Vivendi, HealthSouth, and Hollinger. Markham also covers such Wall Street scandals as the Martha Stewart trial, the financial analyst conflicts, and the mutual fund trading abuses. This reference places today's financial news in perspective with discussion of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation that was adopted in response to these scandals, the burdens it imposes, and continuing flaws in full disclosure. The book also traces the remarkable market recovery that followed the scandals and addresses the misguided efforts of corporate governance reformers that led to the abuses.

The collapse of Enron Corp. in the fall of 2001 had a peculiar side effect: accounting became front page news. For the next year, accounting fraud at a long series of Fortune 500 companies made headlines. The worst cases led to spectacular bankruptcies, mass layoffs, and criminal prosecutions. Many other companies remained intact, but paid millions of dollars to settle charges that their books did not correspond to financial reality. The economic costs of the corporate scandals were substantial: trillions of dollars in shareholder wealth lost and a climate of uncertainty that may have suppressed business investment and hiring after the 2001 recession ended. The barriers to corporate fraud set in place after the Great Depression had clearly failed to protect public investors and were put under close scrutiny. Congress responded by passing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, strengthening regulation of auditors, directors, and corporate executives and increasing criminal penalties for fraud.

Цель настоящего издания — представить развитие социальной теоретической мысли от классиков до современных теоретиков. Поскольку собственно научное теоретизирование о социальном связано с осмыслением современности, то хронологически классический период относится к концу XIX - началу XX века; подбор материалов начинается именно с этого периода. Особенностью данного издания можно считать то, что в нем представлены не только уже хорошо известные имена и работы, но и ранее не переводившиеся на русский язык авторы или работы известных теоретиков, В данной антологии развитие представлений о социальном дано в теоретическом контексте, не ограниченном строгими дисциплинарными рамками; в собрание включены материалы из области социальной философии, антропологии, политической науки, социальной психологии и собственно социологии. Издание предназначено для студентов, аспирантов, преподавателей, ученых, специализирующихся в социальных науках, для всех интересующихся проблемами современного общества.
