Book excerpt: Long-term economic prosperity cannot be achieved unless it is built on a solid foundation. That solid foundation consists of four pillars: governments, businesses, religions, and banks.Each pillar is a key element in the prosperity of a nation and this includes its government, its businesses, it religions, its banks, and ultimately its citizens. When one or more of the pillars is missing or is unnecessarily restricted then that nation will not experience long-term financial prosperity.

Book excerpt: How nations can promote peace, prosperity, and stability through cohesive political institutions "Little else is required to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism, but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice; all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things." So wrote Adam Smith a quarter of a millennium ago. Using the tools of modern political economics and combining economic theory with a bird's-eye view of the data, this book reinterprets Smith's pillars of prosperity to explain the existence of development clusters—places that tend to combine effective state institutions, the absence of political violence, and high per-capita incomes. To achieve peace, the authors stress the avoidance of repressive government and civil conflict. Easy taxes, they argue, refers not to low taxes, but a tax system with widespread compliance that collects taxes at a reasonable cost from a broad base, like income. And a tolerable administration of justice is about legal infrastructure that can support the enforcement of contracts and property rights in line with the rule of law. The authors show that countries tend to enjoy all three pillars of prosperity when they have evolved cohesive political institutions that promote common interests, guaranteeing the provision of public goods. In line with much historical research, international conflict has also been an important force behind effective states by fostering common interests. The absence of common interests and/or cohesive political institutions can explain the existence of very different development clusters in fragile states that are plagued by poverty, violence, and weak state capacity.

Book excerpt: First published in 1910, “Eight Pillars of Prosperity” is a self-help book by British writer James Allen that explores the eight main things that need to be achieved to attain happiness and wealth in one's life. Contents include: “Eight Pillars”, “First Pillar–Energy”, “Second Pillar–Integrity”, “Third Pillar–System”, “Fourth Pillar–Sympathy”, “Sixth Pillar–Sincerity”, “Seventh Pillar–Self-Reliance”, “The Temple of Prosperity”, etc. Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling “Self-Help” by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as "self-improvement" books. James Allen (1864–1912) was a British writer most famous for his inspirational poetry and being an early leader of the self-help movement. “As a Man Thinketh” (1903), his best known work, has been a significant source of inspiration for many self-help authors. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an Essay on the nature of virtue by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Book excerpt: In his preface to this volume the author says that "the moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure forever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them. Without them there is neither strength, stability, nor substantial reality, but only epemeral dreams.'' And accordingly we find the "eight pillars of prosperity" treated of in this book to be-Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality and Self-Reliance, upon which is built "The Temple of Prosperity," and to each of these virtues as a heading he devotes a chapter, each subdivided into "elements," as Industry, Efficiency, Honesty, Accuracy, Insight, Simplicity, Justice, Wisdom, Decision, etc.

Book excerpt: In Eight Pillars of Prosperity, James Allen -- considered a founding father of the self-help genre -- expounds the importance of his "eight pillars of prosperity," namely, (1) energy, (2) economy, (3) integrity, (4) system, (5) sympathy, (6) sincerity, (7) impartiality, and (8) self-reliance. Within these are certain elements that further contribute to a life well-lived: promptitude, vigilance, industry, earnestness, moderation, efficiency, resourcefulness, originality, honesty, fearlessness, purposefulness, invincibility, readiness, accuracy, utility, comprehensiveness, kindness, generosity, gentleness, insight, simplicity, attractiveness, penetration, power, justice, patience, calmness, wisdom, decision, steadfastness, dignity, and independence. Allen's wisdom has a certain gravitas and is all the more inspiring given his challenging and inspiring life story. Born in England in 1864, Allen had to begin working at the age of fifteen after his father was murdered while seeking work in America. Allen thus worked for nine years as a factory knitter, then secretary. Pair this with Allen's other timeless classics such as As A Man Thinketh.

Book excerpt: "Anybody who manages or sits on the board of a nonprofit organization will find great insight in this book on the four pillars of leadership. " John McIlquham, President, NPT Publishing Group, Inc. Does your nonprofit organization suffer from a non-profit mentality? Are you too preoccupied with daily challenges to focus on your mission, build your vision, nurture relationships with constituents, and last but not least create a positive operating margin? Dennis C. Miller has solutions for nonprofit organizations that know they must up their game in a world where they are competing with profit-driven institutions for limited talent and resources. Miller brings the nonprofit sector squarely into the 21st century and points the way forward, showing those who run or work for nonprofits: Why much more emphasis should be placed on training and on rewarding high performing employees. How all nonprofits must periodically reevaluate their mission to see if it is ambitious enough or perhaps too ambitious. Why measuring and then communicating success can enhance fundraising. How establishing your brand is as crucial for nonprofits as it is for the Fortune 500. Why you must think of your organization as if it had a stock price that can rise or fall. Often, people dont realize the potential for taking their nonprofit organization to new heights. But by the end of reading Millers guide they will learn to soar. They will be able to create a more positive image and a greater demand for their services, have more people wanting to become employees, board members and volunteers, achieve recognition for excellence in their field, and see an increase in donors and dollars.

This book was released on 2000-02-10 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Eight Pillars of Prosperity," James Allen reveals exact qualities we must meditate upon in order to achieve lasting success. Prosperity rests on eight pillars: Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance. "A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles," Allen writes, "would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible. Nothing could injure it; nothing could undermine its prosperity, nothing could interrupt its success." This is a "Book of Virtues" for adults, distilling the wisdom of the ages in one compact volume. The moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure for ever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them. Without them there is neither strength, stability, nor substantial reality, but only ephemeral dreams. To find moral principles is to have found prosperity, greatness, truth, and is therefore to be strong, valiant, joyful and free.
