Cincuenta innovaciones que han cambiado el mundo
By Tim Harford. 2008
A través de las fascinantes historias de cincuenta ideas e inventos, el autor de El economista camuflado explica en este…
nuevo libro cómo la innovación puede cambiar nuestras vidas y alterar el complejo sistema económico global. Hay innovaciones, ideas e inventos que permiten curar el cáncer. Otras nos permiten llegar a nuestros destinos de vacaciones mucho más deprisa. Son divertidas. Generan dinero. Y, por descontado, los inventos tienen éxito porque resuelven un problema que alguien, en algún lugar, quiere resolver. El arado, por ejemplo, tuvo éxito porque ayudó a los agricultores a producir más comida con menos esfuerzo. Sin embargo, los inventos configuran nuestra vida de manera impredecible, y, mientras resuelven un problema para alguien, a menudo crean un problema para otra persona. ¿Por qué el código de barras cambió el equilibrio de poderes en la industria alimentaria? ¿Por qué el gramófono incrementó la desigualdad económica? ¿Y cómo el alambre de púas forjó el futuro de Estados Unidos? Las innovaciones también afectan a una compleja red de conexiones económicas. A veces nos complican la vida, otras rompen viejos límites y, en ocasiones, crean patrones completamente nuevos. ¿Por qué, por ejemplo, la píldora anticonceptiva incrementó el número de mujeres en las facultades de Medicina y Derecho? Con el talento de le ha convertido en el más célebre divulgador económico, Tim Harford describe el funcionamiento de la economía a través de la sorprendente historia del plato precocinado, el Estado del Bienestar, la dinamo, la estantería Billy, la propiedad intelectual, el iPhone, las maquinillas y hojas de afeitar, el papel moneda o los paraísos fiscales. Algunas de estas historias se centran en fuerzas económicas vastas e impersonales; otras son relatos del genio o la tragedia de los humanos. Como el intento de desarrollar un «rayo mortífero» que, en cambio, llevó a inventar el radar, un dispositivo esencial para que los viajes aéreos sean seguros. Y todas estas innovaciones nos cuentan una historia, no solo del ingenio humano, sino también de los sistemas invisibles que nos rodean: de las cadenas de suministro global, de la información omnipresente, del dinero y de las ideas. Y, al final del libro, podremos aunar todas estas lecciones para preguntarnos cómo deberíamos pensar en la innovación hoy en día. ¿Cuáles son las mejores maneras de alentar nuevas ideas? ¿Y cómo podemos pensar con claridad sobre qué efectos pueden tener estas ideas y actuar con previsión para maximizar los beneficios y mitigar prejuicios?This friendly and accessible book coaches you through the process of writing your first ever CV. You may be in…
school and about to apply for a part time job; you may be wanting to approach a company for work experience; or you may have been lucky enough to get a job after school without compiling a CV and you want to progress and move on so you need to start from scratch. Creating a first CV, with no employment history, can be a daunting task. But just because you haven't had a work/employment history, doesn't mean you have no skills. However, if you're starting out and you want to stand out, you have to be clear about those skills and make them count. This book breaks down the process of writing your CV into seven steps, short activities that will subsequently be used to build upon each other. It will help you identify those skills - which we all have and bring them to life. Gather it - collect the material for your principal CV and profile.
