The Chickenshit Club
Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives
Jesse Eisinger - 2017-07-11
Calificación de Goodreads
This book delves into the reasons why no bankers were jailed after the financial crisis and why CEOs seem to escape punishment for wrongdoing. In a fast-paced, eye-opening look at the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jesse Eisinger provides a clear and detailed glimpse into the evolution of the government's approach to corporate crime. With insider references and revealing looks into trading desks, corporate boardrooms, and the offices of prosecutors and FBI agents, this book is a wake-up call and a chilling read.

Convictions are NEVER guaranteed. If we have sufficient evidence to indict & go to trial, we must do so even if there is a chance of an acquittal. Hence, it’s more important to try cases than to win cases. See also the book, “The Chickenshit Club” by @eisingerj      fuente

I’m a Lincoln devotee as well, my friend. In fact, my leadership/management/supervision bible is a modest little book, “Lincoln on Leadership.” Distills episodes from Lincoln’s life into leadership principles. I give copies out like Halloween candy. Lessons are invaluable.      fuente

Elegidos para la gloria
Lo que hay que tener
Tom Wolfe - 2004-05-16 (publicado por primera vez en 1979)
Calificación de Goodreads
Un libro apasionante en el que Tom Wolfe investiga qué pasó realmente en la carrera espacial y quiénes eran realmente sus más directos protagonistas: los astronautas. Los astronautas procedían del mundo de los pilotos de pruebas, un mundo que fomentaba imágenes míticas, muy distintas a las del pasivo robot que deseaban los técnicos y burócratas del Programa Mercury. El piloto de pruebas, el capitán total de su nave, era el que tenía, por antonomasia, lo que hay que tener; no sólo valor, sino también una mezcla de destreza, orgullo y lacónico humor, bajo las más terribles y continuas presiones. Su simbolismo era aún el del vaquero fanfarrón. Pero en la maquinaria del mundo futuro, en el cerebro multiforme de la Máquina, no hay sitio ya para el vaquero fanfarrón: el ideal es el autómata. Y a la condición de autómatas y de conejillos de Indias quieren reducir a los bravos vaqueros. Este libro nos narra su lucha por conservar la dignidad humana. «Un minucioso y apasionante reportaje que se sigue como la más apasionante de las novelas» (El País).

Shortest Way Home book cover
Shortest Way Home
One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future
Pete Buttigieg - 2019-02-12
Calificación de Goodreads
This inspiring memoir tells the story of Pete Buttigieg, the visionary mayor of South Bend, Indiana who transformed a "dying city" into a shining model of urban reinvention. Interweaving two narratives of his personal and political journey, Buttigieg recounts growing up in a Rust Belt city, studying at Harvard and Oxford, and returning to Indiana to revive a once-great industrial city. With gripping stories of confronting gun violence and attracting tech companies to the city, while also coming out and finding love in a conservative state, Shortest Way Home challenges our perception of American politicians and provides a new vision for America's future.

@gingersforpete @PeteButtigieg @FrankBruni I already read Pete’s book (and tweeted out several compelling passages). It was an excellent read.      fuente
