Book Description

In this volume, noted economic historian Richard Grassby investigates the origins and evolution of the idea of capitalism to illustrate for readers the true nature, merits, and the future of capitalism. Grassby examines its numerous and often conflicting definitions, and he tests alternative models of capitalism against the historical record to establish when, where, how, and why modern economies and societies emerged.

Customer Reviews:

The Best Introduction I've Seen.......2002-03-05

Grassby's little book is an excellent introduction to the concept of capitalism. It admonishes us at the beginning to discard our preconceived notions: the idea is neither theoretical nor is it empirical. It is merely socialism's Demiurge. (Indeed, the term comes into the English language in translation from a French socialist, according to the OED.) Just as there are many inconsistent versions of socialism, its straw man, pretending to be a description of the status quo, varies at least as much. The author then goes on to describe briefly (that is, the rest of the book, which is only seventy-three pages) how the concept is used in the study of history and how any given effect that has been blamed on or (less often) credited to free markets pre-dates the industrial revolution, and can only rarely can be attributed to mutually beneficial exchange. The analysis in, and above all the skepticism of, this account make this a very fine place to begin any inquiry into the nature of the thing called capitalism.

The Best Introduction I've Seen.......2002-03-05

The problems with the book are that it is too short, it lacks footnotes, and its bibliographical essay includes only relatively new sources, requiring the reader to take notes or shuffle through the book to find the authors and titles actually discussed in text.

The author knows nothing about building a network marketing business.......2006-09-08

I worked with the author of this book in a network marketing venture..the only one he has ever worked. He was a horrible sponsor. He never worked the business and his wife was a vendictive person only interested in her own wellbeing. I have never encountered such evil people in my life. They were only interested in what they would get, never in helping anyone else. The author knows nothing about network marketing, only about BS...that is what he was known for in this company. This is the absolute truth.

How to make MLM work for you.......2005-08-29

Although Mr. Pinnock is mainly speaking about his MLM company, "Reliv", I feel that if you follow his merthod you will be succwessful in any MLM you try.
Mr. Pinnock makes everything very clear for the beginner and is tips are a help for the seasoned MLMer.

It Gets Better As You Go Along.......2000-06-26

This is a simply writtten book which traces the author's road from rags to riches. If I had reviewed this book when I'd been half-way through it, I would have given it fewer stars. The first part of the book tells the story of how Tom Pinnock made his fortune in the network marketing field. It also paints a glowing portrait of his own choice of company. I did not, however, buy the book for this type of information. Since it is a rather short book, I decided to stay with it and found myself saying "Bravo" by the end. I especially enjoyed the chapters on ego, goals, strengths, weaknesses and the need to have fun. These words of wisdom were invaluable. This is not a book with the depth of research found in Richard Poe's "Wave Three" or "Wave Four", nor is it meant to be. If you are in the same company as the author, it is a "must-read". For all others, it is an uplifting success story with advise worth following.

It's the push you need with reality mixed in........1999-01-08

I love this book!!!!!!!! I am a little cautious about starting in MLM but at the same time get very excited when I think about the products and the company. This book is great because it's like she is talking to you and she says it like it is but also keeps your passion alive. She teaches you the basic concept of MLM which is important. The author also has a background in psychology which is crucial to this business and this helps on how to interact with people. A great book to get you started and not fill you with doubt. The only thing this book needs is a chapter on E-commerce and how to expand the business using the Net. This book is fabulous to read completely before going to your first product/opportunity meeting. I'm going next week and I can't wait!!! Thanks to this book I'll be more prepared to ask the right questions.

Useless.......1999-01-01

Despite the title of this book, it is a real waste of money. As far as I can tell, the author has never been involved with any MLM. The methods she cites for building a business are too expensive and too erratic to be helpful for someone just starting out. There are many other wonderful books, written by people who have actually made lots of money, that are far more valuable to the network marketer.

Book Description

Personal selling is still the key to success in direct sales, multi-level marketing, and network marketing, even with the Internet and e-commerce. STRIKE IT RICH IN PERSONAL SELLING provides the tips and techniques on how you can use this approach effectively to get to the top and stay there. It emphasizes committing your efforts to one or two carefully chosen companies and how to choose them, rather than falling prey to the number one success breaker—trying to work with too many sales programs or jumping from company.

Book Description

This book centres on the ways in which ordinary firms can improve technology management. It provides a welcome alternative to the existing literature that focuses almost exclusively on leading edge firms such as IBM or Microsoft.
The authors argue that succeeding as a follower-firm requires learning from many experiences and avoiding simplistic 'how-to' approaches that prescribe one best practice. They assert that there are many 'leading edges' and that they appear in the most unlikely places. The book contains major case studies of firms from industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, software, garments, beer and steel, drawn from twelve different countries.
From a follower perspective, individual chapters cover:
*the role of innovation on the shop-floor
*the importance of mixing process and product innovation
*the challenges involved in building an innovation culture
*the special role of research and development, and of design.

These topics ensure a deeper understanding of strategy in follower-firms, simultaneously providing insight for public policy in building local technological capacity.
