Kidnap: Inside the Ransom Business

Kidnap for ransom is a lucrative but tricky business. Millions of people live, travel, and work in areas with significant kidnap risks, yet kidnaps of foreign workers, local VIPs, and tourists are surprisingly rare and the vast majority of abductions are peacefully resolved-often for remarkably low ransoms. In fact, the market for hostages is so well ordered that the crime is insurable. This is a puzzle: ransoming a hostage is the world's most precarious trade. What would be the 'right' price for your loved one-and can you avoid putting others at risk by paying it? What prevents criminals from maltreating hostages? How do you (safely) pay a ransom? And why would kidnappers release a potential future witness after receiving their money? Kidnap: Inside the Ransom Business uncovers how a group of insurers at Lloyd's of London have solved these thorny problems for their customers. Based on interviews with industry insiders (from both sides), as well as hostage stakeholders, it uncovers an intricate and powerful private governance system ordering transactions between the legal and the criminal economies.

Introduction to Risk Analysis

Risk analysis is a process which helps the management to find the balance between achieving business objectives and the requirement to protect the assets of the business. It provides a way to optimize operations, leading to an equilibrium of profitability and risk. As external scrutiny increase and stakeholders have begun to question management decisions due to rising scandals and bankruptcy, risk analysis has become a potent tool to pacify them. It demonstrates management's ability to carry out due diligence and exhibits that they are meeting their fiduciary duty and protecting shareholders wealth. Thus it plays a pivotal role in management's decision making and is crucial for strategic planning and implementation. Risk analysis has become an important part of the corporate world nowadays and to survive businesses need to know how to implement it!

Code Blue: Inside America's Medical Industrial Complex

How has the United States, with more resources than any nation, developed a healthcare system that delivers much poorer results, at near double the cost of any other developed country-such that legendary seer Warren Buffett calls the Medical Industrial Complex 'the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness'? Mike Magee, MD, who worked for years inside the Medical Industrial Complex administering a hospital and then as a senior executive at the giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, has spent the last decade deconstructing the complex, often shocking rise of, and connectivity between, the pillars of our health system-Big Pharma, insurance companies, hospitals, the American Medical Association, and anyone affiliated with them. With an eye first and foremost on the bottom line rather than on the nation's health, each sector has for decades embraced cure over care, aiming to conquer disease rather than concentrate on the cultural and social factors that determine health. This decision Magee calls the 'original sin' of our health system. Code Blue is a riveting, character-driven narrative that draws back the curtain on the giant industry that consumes one out of every five American dollars.

Priced Out: The Economic and Ethical Costs of American Health Care

From a giant of health care policy, an engaging and enlightening account of why American health care is so expensive-and why it doesn't have to be. Uwe Reinhardt was a towering figure and moral conscience of health care policy in the United States and beyond. Famously bipartisan, he advised presidents and Congress on health reform and originated central features of the Affordable Care Act. In Priced Out, Reinhardt offers an engaging and enlightening account of today's U.S. health care system, explaining why it costs so much more and delivers so much less than the systems of every other advanced country, why this situation is morally indefensible, and how we might improve it. The problem, Reinhardt says, is not one of economics but of social ethics. There is no American political consensus on a fundamental question other countries settled long ago: to what extent should we be our brothers' and sisters' keepers when it comes to health care? An incisive look at the American health care system, Priced Out dispels the confusion, ignorance, myths, and misinformation that hinder effective reform.

Two Ways that a Profession Can be Psychopathized

Some professions (e.g. finance, insurance) tend to draw psychopaths into their ranks but are not inherently psychopathic and have little or no tendency to become psychopathic.. Other professions (e.g. academia, show-business, politics) not only draw psychopaths into their ranks, but are either inherently psychopathic or inherently disposed to become psychopathic. In this short paper, it is explained why this is so.
