Mitch Joel’s boyish, slightly techie reading works well with this cutting-edge lesson on the new rules for creating and marketing a business. Though he’s excited about his message, Joel’s excellent phrasing and quiet sincerity don’t sell this content as much as invite listeners into it. His advice is to scrap most of the old rules of building a business because of how quickly customers get information from Web-based sources. Along with many specific ideas about blogs and Websites, he offers a number of memorable principles on starting a business in the digital age. This combination of incisive content and the author’s can-do attitude makes this an appealing audiobook to learn how to get yourself moving, get your brand known, and make your business a success.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

An essential overview of the strengths and hazards of capitalism and how it might be harnessed for good.
Jackson’s nuanced analysis of capitalism’s relentless power is well served by narrator Eddie Lopez’s pleasing and intelligent vocal interpretations. Listening is immensely rewarding, thanks to Lopez’s flawless enunciation and nuanced phrasing combined with what sounds like a deep understanding of the material. In this richly detailed history, an economic historian explains how capitalism’s ascendence from the 1500s to the early 20th century was sparked by technological innovations, politics, and the invention of money. It was also fueled throughout its development by humanity’s unstoppable drive to acquire, accumulate, and compete. The author’s fascinating research explains how untethered capitalism has fomented class conflicts, environmental degradation, and human rights abuses.
