The big fix : how companies capture markets and harm Canadians / Hearn, Denise
"More and more of the Canadian economy is dominated by a handful of huge companies that control what we buy, how we work, and which other businesses can or can't thrive. Beyond the obvious examples of airlines, telcos, grocery chains, and banks, The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians shows how corporate concentration is growing across many industries, leading to higher prices for consumers, lower worker's wages, more inequality, fewer startups, less innovation, and lower growth and productivity. In this galvanizing book, Hearn and Bednar show how companies perpetuate the illusion of rivalry to disguise their dominance, and how they've shifted from competing within industries to accumulating assets across industries, further entrenching their power. The authors coach readers on how to think about competition, how markets are made and remade, and how the right set of attitudes and policies reduce corporate power and rebalance it throughout the economy. The future of Canada's economy is up for grabs, and The Big Fix shows how the country can achieve a more innovative, productive, and livable economy for all Canadians."--

The licensing racket : how we decide who is allowed to work, and why it goes wrong / Allensworth, Rebecca Haw
"The Licensing Racket is a critique of the US system of professional licensing boards, which oversee a range of occupations and tens of millions of workers. The book combines legal and economic research with nearly two hundred interviews and observation of licensing board meetings, treating jobs like hairdressing alongside medicine and law as covered by "professional licensing." Rebecca Haw Allensworth goes beyond criticism of licensing as a form of "red tape" that burdens entrepreneurs and raises costs for consumers to argue that the system fails to competently enforce standards of professional ethics and safety. She concludes by outlining principles that should guide policy and proposals for state and federal reform"--

What's your dream? : find your passion, love your work, build a richer life / Squibb, Simon
What is your dream?
"From early on, we are taught that there's only one path to getting ahead: do well at school, get a certain kind of job, and avoid failure at all costs. We're so busy trying to follow these rules that we never stop and ask ourselves: What's my purpose? Is my 9-5 really what I want to do? What kind of job or business do I really want to pursue? Do I have the power to make it happen? With Simon Squibb's incisive new book, you can make it happen. Simon Squibb is on a mission to help young entrepreneurs discover their passion and start their business. Drawing on the hard-won life lessons from Squibb's years in the business world and his own personal life -- from facing homelessness as a teenager to selling a multi-million pound business -- What's Your Dream? is the step-by-step guide to turn your dream venture into a reality. Squibb begins by providing a definition of a dream and continues on to introduce readers to a set of tools to build confidence and persevere through the barriers that stand in the way. Squibb will dissect the common pitfalls that block the way -- being trapped by aspirations that aren't true dreams, falling prey to popular myths that stop us from achieving our goals, giving into the fear that prevents us from taking action -- and share the secrets to overcome them. Young entrepreneurs will glean useful business insight, such as: how to assess risk level, understanding not to take risks indiscriminately but to take them well, knowing how and when to quit so you can pivot and start again, how to create a community of super fans who will purchase and advocate for all of your products, how to grow your customers, and more. Achieving wealth shouldn't mean sacrificing your dreams and passions. This book can show you how."--
