2023 | English | ASIN: B0BTXX82CL | 6 hrs 51 mins | M4B & MP3@126 kbps | UBR | Retail
The first of a trilogy, this collection features 16 of the world's most outrageous scams and hoaxes.
They all really happened and were taken from firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, or historical documents found in public libraries. They date as far back as the late 1800s, but most are more recent. However, you won't find any defrauded widows or orphans in these stories. The victims are institutions or corporations quite capable of defending themselves, and the crooks who match wits with them are just as savvy. You could almost call it a fair fight!

Master Conflict Without Being a Bitch: Get Results Without Losing Your Cool (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVJTP6RY | 2023 | 3 hours and 32 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 196 MB
Author: Dr. Judy Morley
Narrator: Suzie Althens

Do you avoid conflict at all costs? If so, you are completely normal, but that doesn't make you an effective friend, partner, or from a business perspective, a good leader. Leadership matters most when there is no agreement about how to move forward. And while conflict is a necessary component of peaceful, successful organizations, the most successful leaders know how to navigate conflict without drama and confrontation. That's because healthy conflict isn't intense or threatening. It can be as benign as a small difference of opinion, but it's necessary for evolution since without conflict, nothing grows. This book is about YOU.

Lecturer: Akila Weerapana
The issues addressed by macroeconomics are all around you, all the time-from taxes to inflation to mention of the GDP on the nightly news. By learning the principles of macroeconomics, you'll be able to go beyond simply hearing the terms to better understanding their relationships to each other and how they create the economic environment in which you live. In fact, macroeconomics with its "big-picture glasses" allows you to better ask-and better try to answer-the biggest questions of our time, questions that impact the lives of billions of people.
In 24 revealing lectures, Macroeconomics Made Clear will introduce you to the subject that people have been theorizing about and modeling for almost 100 years. With easy-to-understand illustrations, charts, and graphs, Dr. Akila Weerapana of Wellesley College shows you the real-world applications of the mathematics behind the science. Dr. Weerapana shows you how macroeconomics offers a hopeful tool for the future and sheds light on what we observe now. He focuses on the beginning of macroeconomics when the new field tried to explain the causes of the Great Depression, subsequent business cycles, the COVID-19 pandemic with its economic impacts, and several of our greatest global challenges of today.

In spite of Cyril Ramaphosa's 'new dawn', there are powerful forces in the ruling party that risk losing everything if corruption and state capture finally do come to an end.

In this explosive book, investigative journalist Pieter-Louis Myburgh ventures deeper than ever before into Magashule's murky dealings, from his time as a struggle activist in the 1980s to his powerful rule as premier of the Free State province for nearly a decade, and his rise to one of the ANC's most influential positions.
