Tea Party Activists duped again just like 220 years ago

2011-04-23T15:35:00.001-06:00

Current tea party activists have not read history, so they are damned to repeat it. Just as the tea party activists in the 18th Century where duped by Wealthy Businessmen and Bankers to protect their interests and cause higher taxes, hardships and increased unemployment on the middle class and the poor. Current tea party activists are being duped by the same class of wealthy and bankers creating the same results 220 years later. What irony.

“Concept of the Corporation” by Peter Drucker first published in 1945 now available in paper back from amazon.com www.amazon.com/Concept-Corporation-Peter-Drucker/dp/1560006250
The first modern management book. He introduced previously unknown concepts such as cooperation between labor and management, decentralization of management, and viewing workers as resources rather than costs. Drucker wrote more than 30 books, which have been translated into 25 languages. His books generally break down into three areas: social and political studies, such as The Future of Industrial Man and The Age of Discontinuity: Guidelines to Our Changing Society ; management books like The Practice of Management and
Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices ; and management advice like Management for Results and The Effective Executive. Managing for the Future: The 1990s and Beyond (1992).
“The Practice of Management”
www.amazon.com/Practice-Management-Peter-F-Drucker/dp/0060878975/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b
Introduced the concept of "management by objectives." Requires managers to establish goals for their subordinates and devise the means for measuring results. Every worker must be given the tools "to appraise himself, rather than be appraised and controlled from the outside." Management by objectives has become an accepted business concept and is probably Drucker's most important contribution.

“Concept of the Corporation” by Peter Drucker first published in 1945 now available in paper back from amazon.com www.amazon.com/Concept-Corporation-Peter-Drucker/dp/1560006250
The first modern management book. He introduced previously unknown concepts such as cooperation between labor and management, decentralization of management, and viewing workers as resources rather than costs. Drucker wrote more than 30 books, which have been translated into 25 languages. His books generally break down into three areas: social and political studies, such as The Future of Industrial Man and The Age of Discontinuity: Guidelines to Our Changing Society ; management books like The Practice of Management and Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices ; and management advice like Management for Results and The Effective Executive. Managing for the Future: The 1990s and Beyond (1992).
“The Practice of Management” www.amazon.com/Practice-Management-Peter-F-Drucker/dp/0060878975/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b
Introduced the concept of "management by objectives." Requires managers to establish goals for their subordinates and devise the means for measuring results. Every worker must be given the tools "to appraise himself, rather than be appraised and controlled from the outside." Management by objectives has become an accepted business concept and is probably Drucker's most important contribution.

A direct, private lender specializing exclusively in Securities Based Loans for an International and US clientel. These loans are non-recourse, no credit history needed, no proof of income, and no tax returns.

Minimum loan amount is $100K and there is no maximum. They will lend all over the world - to borrowers anywhere, with securities on almost any exchange in the world.
