Wait
The useful art of procrastination

Warren Buffett compares stock trading to great athletes: they excel not because of fast neurological responses, but because of their ability to delay as long as possible before reacting. Successful CEOs, fire fighters, and military officers all know how to manage delay to gather as much information as possible to get the results they need.In Wait, Frank Partnoy argues that decisions of all kinds, whether 'snap' or long-term, benefit from being made at the last possible moment. The art of knowing how long you can afford to delay before committing is at the heart of many a great decision, whether in a corporate takeover or a marriage proposal. Apologies are better received if they are not rushed and people who can defer gratification are happier and more successful than those who must have everything now. Partnoy demonstrates that the ability to wait is crucial to getting the right answer and that gut instincts are often wrong.

At the height of the roaring '20s, Swedish émigré Ivar Kreuger made a fortune raising money in America and loaning it to Europe in exchange for matchstick monopolies. His enterprise was a rare success story throughout the Great Depression. Yet after his suicide in 1932, it became clear that Kreuger was not all he seemed: evidence surfaced of fudged accounting figures, off-balance-sheet accounting, even forgery. He created a raft of innovative financial products, many of them precursors to instruments wreaking havoc in today's markets. In this gripping financial biography, Frank Partnoy recasts the life story of a remarkable yet forgotten genius in ways that force us to re-think our ideas about the wisdom of crowds, the invisible hand, and the free and unfettered market.

Infectious Greed

First published in 2003, Infectious Greed examined how our greed-driven culture led to the generation of massive profits, but also to unprecedented levels of risk, widespread deception, and high profile disasters like Enron and Worldcom. In the wake of the 2008-9 financial crisis, Partnoy''s analysis of how major companies obscured the reality from shareholders by disguising risk and side-stepping regulations, is more pertinent than ever. Beginning in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first proto-derivatives, Partnoy gives an intelligent and thorough account of the dangerous manipulations that have and continue to come to light.

The story opens with the purchase of a 9mm Browning at a small Paris gun shop by a man named Ivar Kreuger. The next morning, the world''s leading bankers nervously waited to ask Ivar about some forged Italian bonds. Hours later, his dead body was discovered and the largest financial empire of the era collapsed.This book traces Ivar''s meteoric rise from the obscurity of provincial Sweden, to become a construction mogul and then a global business oligarch. Ivar acquired match monopolies throughout the world and usurped J. P. Morgan to become the leading lender to foreign governments. His financial innovations resonate today. A self made media figure, he discovered and promoted Greta Garbo but also advised politicians, including President Hoover. Was he a financial genius or merely a schemer? Did he really stage his own suicide? This book brings back to life one of the greatest swindlers of all times.

Ein Update des Kommunistischen Manifests für heute

Eine aktualisierte Version vom »Kommunistischen Manifest« mit einem Vorwort von Robert Habeck.Wenn Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels ihr »Kommunistisches Manifest« neu verfassen würden – was würden sie wohl ändern? Nicht viel, meinen Frank Partnoy und Rupert Younger. Es ging vor 170 Jahren um die Besitzenden, die Habenichtse und die Kluft dazwischen, und darüber würden sie auch heute schreiben. Genauso wie über jene, die weltweit gegen soziale Ungleichheit und für vielfältige politische Ziele kämpfen: die »Aktivisten«. Also haben Partnoy und Younger den historischen Text ein wenig abgeändert, mal einzelne Begriffe, mal ganze Sätze ausgetauscht und aktualisiert, als hätten sie ein altes Haus umsichtig renoviert. Wort für Wort lässt sich nachvollziehen, was die beiden Autoren am Original-Manifest verändert haben, wie sie einzelne Begriffe umdeuten, welche neuen Aspekte sie aufnehmen. Entstanden ist ein Spiegelbild des revolutionären Klassikers, ein Weckruf für alle Utopisten, aktiv zu werden. Denn es kommt immer noch darauf an, die Welt zu verändern. Aktivisten, vereinigt euch!
