Never before have we attempted to measure as much as we do today. Why are we so obsessed with numbers? What can they really tell us? Too often we try to quantify what can’t actually be measured. We count people, but not individuals. We count exam results rather than intelligence, benefit claimants instead of poverty. The government has set itself 10,000 new targets. Politicians pack their speeches with skewed statistics: crime rates are either rising or falling depending on who is doing the counting. We are in a world in which everything designed only to be measured. If it can’t be measured it can be ignored. But the big problem is what numbers don’t tell you. They won’t interpret. They won’t inspire, and they won’t tell you precisely what causes what. In this passionately argued and thought-provoking book, David Boyle examines our obsession with numbers. He reminds us of the danger of taking numbers so seriously at the expense of what is non-measurable, non-calculable: intuition, creativity, imagination, happiness… Counting is a vital human skill. Yardsticks are a vital tool. As long as we remember how limiting they are if we cling to them too closely.

Kapitalist üretim tarz?n?n egemen oldu?u toplumlar?n zenginli?i, "muazzam bir meta birikimi" olarak kendini g?sterir, bunun birimi tek bir metad?r. Ara?t?rmalar?m?z?n, bu nedenle, meta?n tahlili ile ba?lamas? gerekir. Meta, her ?eyden ?nce, bizim d???m?zda bir nesnedir ve, ta??d??? ?zellikleriyle, ?u ya da bu türden insan gereksinmelerini gideren bir ?eydir. Bu gereksinmelerin niteli?i, ?rne?in ister mideden, ister hayalden ??km?? olsun, bir ?ey de?i?tirmez. Burada nesnenin, bu gereksinmeleri, ge?im arac? olarak do?rudan do?ruya m?, yoksa üretim arac? olarak dolayl? yoldan m?, nas?l giderdi?i de bizi ilgilendirmemektedir. Demir, ka??t vb. gibi her yararl? ?eye, iki g?rü? a??s?ndan, nitelik ve nicelik a??s?ndan bak?labilir. Her yararl? ?ey, bir?ok ?zelliklerin bir bütünüdür ve bunun i?in ?e?itli y?nlerden yararl? olabilir. ?eylerin ?e?itli kullan?mlar?n? bulup ortaya ??karmak tarihin i?idir. Yararl? nesnelerin niceli?ini ?l?mek i?in toplumca benimsenen ?l?üleri saptamak da b?yledir. Bu ?l?ülerin farkl? olu?unun nedeni, k?smen ?l?ülecek nesnelerin niteliklerinin farkl? olu?u, k?smen de al??kanl?klard?r. Bir ?eyin yararl?l???, onu, bir kullan?m-de?eri haline getirir. Ama bu yararl?l?k, belirsiz bir ?ey de?ildir. Meta?n fiziksel ?zellikleriyle s?n?rl? oldu?u i?in, o, metadan ayr? bir varl??a sahip de?ildir. Demir olsun, bu?day olsun ya da elmas olsun, bir meta, bu nedenle, maddi bir ?ey oldu?u i?in, bir kullan?m-de?eridir, yararl? bir ?eydir. Meta?n bu ?zelli?i, o meta?n yararl? niteliklerinden yararlanmak i?in gerekli olan emek miktar?na ba??ml? de?ildir. Karl Marx, “Das Kapital’i bundan yakla??k 150 y?l ?nce yazd?. Bugüne kadar üzerinde yüzlerce yorum yap?l?p binlerce kitap yay?nland?. Peki ama, Karl Marx Das Kapital’de ger?ekte neyi ve hangi sistemi anlatmaya ?al???yordu?

Ba?lang?? noktam olan ?iir ve esteti?i gerilerde b?rakarak, tüm entellektüel tutkumu, ticari dola??m, toprak rant?, tar?mda sermayenin yo?unla?mas?, k?r oran?n?n dü?mesi ve i??i s?n?f?n?n yoksulla?mas?na ili?kin mali doktrinlere ve bu bahts?z bilimin di?er y?nlerine y?nelttim. Ricardo, Sismondi, Sombart, B?hm-Bawerk ve Keynes'in ilk zamanlar?ndaki ?al??malar?ndan, tekrar ve tekrar Das Kapital'e d?ndüm ve bu sistemleri ve bilimsel uzant?lar?n? bu eserde das kapital’e gore yeniden yorumlad?m. Tüm bu yorumlamalar ve bunlara ili?kin kafan?zdaki pek ?ok soru i?aretinin cevaplar?n? bu eserde bulacaks?n?z.. ??

"Imádsz írni? Szeretnéd, ha olvasnák is? Még jobb lenne, ha megvennék, amit írsz?Gondolj csak bele, rajtad kívül még milliónyian akarnak írók lenni, s még t?bben blogszerz?k, cikkírók. ?riási a kínálat, mennyi az esély, hogy téged észrevesznek? ?s ha észrevesznek, mennyien fognak olvasni? S, ha olvasnak elegen, hogyan éred el, hogy vegyenek is t?led? S, ha még ezt el is éred, tudod, honnan veszed mindehhez az id?t? Ha elgondolkodtál ezeken, akkor máris tudod, milyen értékes, ha valaki helyetted már elgondolkodott ezeken a kérdéseken, megkereste a megoldásokat, és számodra id?t, fáradtságot spórolva a ?kezedbe adja”."

Ez a világ egyik legcsodálatosabb folyamata: Te egyre lelkesebben írsz és az olvasók egyre jobban várják, az új munkáidat. Mindezt úgy, hogy nem nyomulsz, hanem ellenkez?leg, olyan szimpatikusan csinálod, hogy ?r?m?t okoz újra és újra visszatérni, olvasni és megvásárolni a m?veidet.

Ismer?seink, családtagjaink, kollégáink, a vállalati értékesít?k - egy szóval gyakorlatilag mindenki - egyfolytában hazudik nekünk. Egyikünknek sincs immunitása a ránk zúduló hazugságok ellen, úgyhogy mindannyian a csalás áldozatai vagyunk. A témát egymástól függetlenül vizsgáló kutatók jutottak ugyanarra az eredményre: az átlagembert minden áldott nap k?zel 200 alkalommal traktálják valami valótlansággal. Most végre létrej?tt valami, ami a védelmünkre lehet. A Verj át, ha tudsz! három kül?nb?z? elméletb?l és gyakorlatból - az arckifejezések helyes értelmezéséb?l, a kihallgatási technikák alkalmazásából és a hazugságvizsgáló kutatások átfogó ?sszehasonlításából - hoz létre új diszciplínát, kifejezetten azzal a céllal, hogy megtanítsa az üzleti élet szerepl?it arra, miként lehet a leghatékonyabban felderíteni a csalást, és ezáltal képessé tegye ?ket arra, hogy a rejtett háttér információk birtokában hozhassák meg fontos üzleti d?ntéseiket és vághassanak bele sorsd?nt? tranzakciók lebonyolításába. Ennek az új tudománynak a metódusait használja a gyakorlatban is az amerikai üzleti élet nem egy jól ismert alakja, elszántan arra, hogy végképp kiirtsa a nagy kockázattal járó üzleti tranzakciókból a hazugság elemeit. Hosszú évek teltek el, mire a Verj át, ha tudsz! végre k?zkinccsé tette az igazgatósági irodákban, a vezet?i értekezleteken, az állásinterjúkon, a jogi eljárásokban és az üzleti tárgyalásokon is a korábban csak a hírszerz?i k?r?kben, a rend?r akadémiákon és az egyetemi tanszékek eldugott kutatásaiban jelenlév?, szétszórtan fellelhet? tudást. Mi van a k?nyvben? Tanuljon olyan titkos kommunikációs technikákat, amelyek a k?zelmúltig csak egy maroknyi kutató, kihallgató tiszt és operatív hírszerz? el?tt voltak ismertek! A Verj át, ha tudsz! -ból megtudható, mi az ami ott van minden üzleti megbeszélésen, minden állásinterjú során, minden tárgyaláson az ?n orra el?tt, és amit mégsem vett eddig soha észre: - Az a tíz életveszélyes arckifejezés, amelyet jobb, ha megtanul felfedezni üzleti és társasági kapcsolataiban. - Az a tíz perd?nt? kérdés, amellyel bárkit rábírhat, hogy elmondja ?nnek az igazságot. Megtanulja, miképpen szúrja ki és fojtsa el csírájában egy viszonylag egyszer?, ?tlépcs?s módszer segítségével a szinte minden fontos üzleti tárgyaláson és interjúban el?bukkanó hazugságokat. Megtanul felismerni t?bb tucat olyan arckifejezést és testtartást, amelynek láttán jobb, ha harmadfokú készültségbe helyezi magát. Füle megtanulja, miképpen ismerheti fel azokat a szófordulatokat és frázisokat, amelyek beszédes jeleib?l megkül?nb?ztethet? a csalárd beszéd az igazmondástól. Végül megtudja azt is, miképpen vegye k?rül magát olyan megbízható tanácsadókkal, akik garantálhatják ?nnek a sikert.

When her sister, Denise, seven years her senior, and her husband Alistair drowned in a storm at sea, the beautiful nineteen-year-old Pepita Linford is left alone to cope with the care of their young children, Rory and Jeanie, as well as Alistair’s huge amount of debts. Exiled from his Scottish Clan for ever by his father, the Duke of Strathnairn, because he dared to marry an Englishwoman against his wishes they then settled in Hertfordshire. Alistair had been deprived of his allowance from his father and had lived on a fast-dwindling legacy from his mother. Virtually destitute Pepita has no choice but to travel to Scotland to throw herself and the children on the mercy of the Duke of Strathnairn. But sadly His Grace, consumed with hatred for the English, is not in the slightest pleased to see them, but grudgingly agrees that they can stay at his imposing Castle for a short while. Pepita is at once aware of the hostility and dislike of the Duchess of Strathnairn, who does everything she can to make life unpleasant for her and Rory and Jeanie. Save for the children Pepita finds herself on her own in a hostile country until she finds warmth, kindness and sympathy in the handsome and charming Torquil McNairn, Alistair’s cousin. Soon that warmth becomes an all-encompassing and consuming love for both Pepita and Torquil. But surely it is a passion doomed. Pepita is determined that she must never inflict Alistair’s fate on Torquil – to be an outcast for no other reason than that he loved a ‘Sassenach’ from England!
