The Good Jobs Strategy
How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits
Zeynep Ton - 2014-01-14 (first published in 2015)
Goodreads Rating
This book challenges the conventional wisdom that business success comes at the expense of employee well-being. Zeynep Ton argues that, even in low-cost settings, providing good jobs can lead to lower costs, higher profits, and greater customer satisfaction. Full of counterintuitive insights, Ton's research highlights successful companies, such as Costco and Trader Joe's, that prioritize employee satisfaction alongside customer needs. This book outlines a blueprint for any organization that wants to pursue a sustainable competitive strategy in which everyone - employees, customers, and investors - wins.

The Rise and Fall of American Growth book cover
The Rise and Fall of American Growth
The U.S. Standard of Living since the Civil War (The Princeton Economic History of the Western World)
Robert J. Gordon - 2016-01-12
Goodreads Rating
Discover the revolution that transformed American households and workplaces in The Rise and Fall of American Growth. With historical anecdotes and economic analysis, this critical read weaves a vivid narrative that challenges the belief that economic growth will continue relentlessly. Economist Robert Gordon argues that escalating inequality, a stagnant education system, an aging population, and rising debt will hold back productivity growth. As we face an uncertain future, this book is a tribute to a century of remarkable change and a warning that tougher times may be on the horizon.

@RossSchumann Read “The Rise and Fall of American Growth”. It’s a history book. No politics. It will clear it up for you. Wishing you the best. Also, read dark money to learn more about origin of current economic orthodoxy.      source
