<p>Hard work is irrelevant. Be radically honest. Adequate performance gets a generous severance.</p><p>And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service into a streaming superpower - with 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than Disney.</p><p>Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice at Netflix. From unlimited holidays to abolishing financial approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organization, one far more in tune with a fast-paced world.</p><p>For anyone interested in creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its creator, fully accessible for the first time.</p>

<p>We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents. But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America. International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don&rsquo;t stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren&rsquo;t linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan&rsquo;s essay calling for &ldquo;containment&rdquo; of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat.</p>

<p>Från det romerska torget till digitala valutor hur har marknaden utvecklats under historiens gång och hur kan den komma att se ut i framtiden? Denna antologi gör en djupdykning i marknadsutvecklingen och tittar närmare på marknaders avgörande roll i att utforma samtiden men tar också upp den brännande frågan om hur vi ska navigera fram till en hållbar framtid. </p><p>I tankeväckande essäer skrivna av internationella forskare, politiker och sakkunniga utforskas marknadens dynamik under tre kritiska faser: i går, i dag och i morgon. Med utgångspunkt i det antika Greklands torg och i det medeltida Europas marknader undersöker författarna hur tekniska framsteg, konsumentbeteende och geopolitisk strategi till exempel den politik som utövades under Reagan-eran har format nutida marknader. Slutligen tar boken upp de utmaningar för stabiliteten på marknaden som utgörs av till exempel auktoritära stater och AI.</p>

Tits Up [Bok / Pocket]

<p>In January 2023, Johann Hari started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic, one of the new drugs that produces significant weight loss. He wasn&apos;t alone &ndash; some predictions suggest that in a few years, one in four of the British population will be taking these drugs. While around 80 per cent of diets fail, someone taking one of the new drugs is likely to lose up to a quarter of their body weight in six months. To the drugs&apos; defenders, this is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer and an early death. Still, Hari was wildly conflicted. Can these drugs really be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution &ndash; or a magical illusion? Finding the answer to this high-stakes question led him on a journey from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, and to interview the leading experts in the world on these issues. He found that along with the drugs&apos; massive benefits come twelve significant potential risks. He also learned that these drugs radically challenge what we think we know about shame, willpower and healing. These drugs are about to change our world, for better and for worse. Everybody needs to understand how they work &ndash; scientifically, emotionally and culturally. Magic Pill is an essential guide to the revolution that has already begun &ndash; and which one leading expert argues could be as transformative as the invention of the smartphone.</p>

When the war in Nagorno-Karabach broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan in September 2020, few believed it would last more than a few days. Instead, it developed into a full-scale war, deeply involving the regional powers of the Caucasus: Russia and Turkey.<br/>   After 44 days, it ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The borders were redrawn, and Russia stationed 2,000 troops in Nagorno-Karabach standing between the Armenians and Azerbaijanis. The story of Nagorno-Karabach ended with a mass exodus of the whole Armenian population in September 2023.<br/>   In his unique reportage book, Rasmus Canbäck describes how he navigated the Russian presence and entered a region closed to foreign journalists. "I Die Slowly Every Day" portrays what one of the most complex conflicts of our time means for people on the ground.
