Foreword by Tia Newcomer, CEO of CaringBridgeWhen Cris Ross and Ed Marx were diagnosed with cancer, they thought they knew what to do next. They were, after all, executives at two of the premiere hospitals in the United States—Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. But even decades of obsessing about effective delivery of patient care could not have prepared them for the emotional and logistical complexity of navigating the healthcare system. If it is this hard for them...

How to Improve the Patient Experience is a complement to Ed Marx and Cris Ross's book, Diagnosed, which arose from their experiences as patients and as leaders driving change in healthcare. As patients, Ed had a near-fatal heart attack and prostate cancer. Cris was treated twice for stage 3 colorectal cancer. They were executives in two of the best hospitals in America when they became sick. Being in a hospital bed taught them things they never learned being around hospit...

Il marxismo e il comunismo sono stati smentiti, ripetutamente, dalla loro stessa “materia”: l’economia e la storia. Il marxismo ha predetto l’impoverimento dei lavoratori e la storia si è incaricata di smentire la previsione. Il marxismo ha profetizzato al rivoluzione in Occidente e la storia ha smentito la profezia. Il marxismo ha annunciato che con il comunismo non ci sarebbero più state rivoluzioni e la storia ha ancora una volta smentito il pronostico. I marxisti hanno sempre “spiegato...

Cet ouvrage constitue un guide d’accès aux grands courants de la pensée qui ont contribué à façonner les conceptions économiques contemporaines. Son but est d’éclairer les idées économiques modernes grâce à la lecture des analyses anciennes, et de montrer ainsi les permanences et les ruptures.Organisé chronologiquement, de Platon à Marx, il s’articule autour des réactions suscitées par le développement de l’économie de march...

O que aconteceria se dois dos pensadores mais influentes — e mais antagônicos — da história se enfrentassem em um debate? De um lado, Sócrates, mestre da dialética e incansável na busca pela verdade. Do outro, Karl Marx, arquiteto do comunismo, cuja teoria revolucionária moldou os rumos da modernidade.Nesta obra instigante e bem-humorada, Peter Kreeft dá vida a esse embate intelectual, colocando Marx diante do filósofo grego para uma investigação profunda sobre algumas das questões...

"No presente escrito, por essa razão, a relação da economia nacional com o Estado, o direito, a moral, a vida civil etc. só se encontra referida justamente até o ponto em que a própria teoria da economia nacional, ex professor, refere-se a esses objetos. Ao leitor familiarizado com a economia nacional não tenho de assegurar inicialmente que meus resultados foram obtidos mediante uma análise totalmente empírica, fundada em um minucioso estudo crítico da economia nacional."

History Hub presents a complete biography of Karl Marx from start to end, whose remarkable story inspires us even today.Karl Heinrich Marx had a very rough life from having his works outlawed to his children and wife's death and poverty. Even though he conceived of brilliant economic and political ideologies, he ultimately felt like a failure. Marx is well-known as an influential revolutionary, rather than a philosopher whose works influenced and inspired most mode...

This first volume in a new trilogy of books by Antonio Negri examines and develops the Italian tradition of radical Marxist thought known as operaismo or ‘autonomist Marxism’ – the tradition to which Negri himself adheres and in which he is a leading figure.The tradition of operaismo emphasizes the role of the worker in capitalism and the primacy of class struggle. Within this framework, Negri’s key contribution has been to theorize the transition from the ‘mass worker’ to the ‘soc...

This the first of a new three-part series in which Antonio Negri, a leading political thinker of our time, explores key ideas that have animated radical thought and examines some of the social and economic forces that are shaping our world today.In this first volume Negri shows how the thinking of Marx and Foucault were brought together to create an original theoretical synthesis - particularly in the context of Italy from May ’68 onwards. At around that time, the structures of ind...
