Review: Unlocking the Natural-Born Leader’s Abilities by Salar A. Khan, MD, MBA

A successful example of what he wishes to convey, award-winning author Salar Khan uses his own life as an illustration of what constitutes leadership in Unlocking the Natural-Born Leader’s Abilities: An Autobiographical Exposé. Carefully presenting an objective picture, Khan shares his own memories to demonstrate the sorts of qualities a natural-born leader (NBL) would have, both innately and from training and experience.

Khan’s early life was rigorous: His parents were forced to migrate from India to Pakistan a few years before he was born, and six of his eleven siblings died by the age of four. When he was […]

Review: Autonomous Vehicles by C D Leonard

Autonomous Vehicles by C D Leonard is a well-considered, wide-ranging examination of self-driven vehicles and their implications for the economy, ethics, and everyday life.

This comprehensive guide begins by posing two questions: What is autonomous driving, and how does it differ from normal driving as we currently know it? Indications are that the development of the autonomous car will require further new technologies to improve, protect and finally eliminate the driver. There are six possible levels of autonomous driving, ranging from complete human control, through partial, conditional, high and finally full control by the vehicle.

Review: Selling to China by Stanley Chao

A Chinese American business expert presents his latest wisdom regarding how small trading companies can establish economic links with counterparts in China in Selling to China: A Guide for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses.

The primary tenet for an SMB (small to medium-sized business) to bear in mind, Chao states, is that Chinese and American entrepreneurs have the same goal – to make money. This is especially true since the older “Mao” generation is phasing out, being replaced with what the author calls the “Me Generation” (age 20-30), which is less traditional, and more prepared to make deals.

When Chao […]

Review: The Imaginary Economy by Mario Fabbri

A pioneering Italian businessman reveals hidden truths about the framework of modern economics in The Imaginary Economy: A New Conception.

Beginning with the proposition that standard economic theory is based on “egregious mathematical mistakes” that don’t fit with real life, author Mario Fabbri notes that economic growth in the US from its inception until now has been amazingly stable – 1.9% per annum. There have been some deviations, as during the Great Depression, but these quickly self-correct. Why then do economists and politicians continue to assert that a particular policy or method would make huge changes in our economy?[…]
