Tony Robbins, who has coached more than fifty million people from 100 countries, is the world&apos;s #1 life and business strategist. In this new book, he teams up with Christopher Zook, a renowned financial investor who draws from thirty years of experience to round out the trilogy of #1 New York Times bestselling financial books. Together they reveal how, for decades, trillions of dollars of smart money­ - think of large institutions, sovereign wealth funds, individuals with ultra-high-net worth - have been making outsized returns using alternative investments in private equity, private credit, private real estate, energy and venture capital. Until recently, the vast majority of investors - those of us without insider access or eye-popping checkbooks - have been locked out of these exciting, high-yield opportunities. But there is a change underway. Alternative investments are coming to the masses, and investors need to know how to navigate their options, assess the merits of these opportunities, and determine how to best take advantage of this massive trend. In The Holy Grain of Investing, you&apos;ll discover: Where opportunities will arise as we transition from the &apos;free money&apos; era of zero interest rates to a new more realistic environment. How to take advantage of the trillions flowing into private investments by owning a piece of the firms that manage the assets. How to take advantage of private credit as an alternative (or compliment) to bonds. How and why professional sports teams have become an asset class of their own. How the renewable energy revolution will create new winners and losers. How investments in private real estate can work as an inflationary hedge. Interviews, advice, and insights from some of the world&apos;s most formidable titans of industry, such as Howard Marks of OakTree Capital, Vinod Khosla of Khosla Capital, Barry Sternlicht of Starwood, Robert Smith of Vista, and Peter Theil of Founders Fund, among others. The market is changing, and the conventional wisdom no longer applies. Are you ready to add some fuel to your financial fire? No matter your wealth, your experience, your job, or your age, The Holy Grail of Investing will teach you everything you need to know to unleash the financial power of alternative investments.

America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it? With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent framework for understanding these volatile times. They draw on a wealth of examples-from 1930s France to present-day Thailand-to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. They then show how our Constitution makes us uniquely vulnerable to attacks from within: It is a pernicious enabler of minority rule, allowing partisan minorities to consistently thwart and even rule over popular majorities. Most modern democracies-from Germany and Sweden to Argentina and New Zealand-have eliminated outdated institutions like elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifetime tenure for judges. The United States lags dangerously behind. In this revelatory book, Levitsky and Ziblatt issue an urgent call to perfect our national experiment. It&apos;s a daunting task, but we have remade our country before-most notably, after the Civil War and during the Progressive Era. And now we are at a crossroads: America will either become a multiracial democracy or cease to be a democracy at all.

I denna jämförande studie av de fyra nordiska länderna visas hur litet den traditionella välfärdspolitiken påverkades av välfärdskrisen mot slutet av 70-talet. Inhemska faktorer som graden av universalism, folkligt stöd, arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder tycks betyda mer än internationell ekonomi för att förklara stabiliteten i välfärdspolitiken.
