    Description:  This work offers a comprehensive look at corporate investment and asset valuation from two of today's most popular and influential finance writers. A number of questions come into play when a corporation attempts to add value through its capital investment decisions. How do you precisely value an asset, either incoming or outgoing? Which strategy will provide the greatest value increase, and how can you implement that strategy? What are the risks? "Capital Investment and Valuation" addresses the many ways in which corporations value assets and make investment decisions.

    Filled with information and ideas that are both thought provoking and functional, it provides an indispensable look into the theory and mechanics of valuation and investing, including: the six ideas that must be understood for effective capital investment and valuation; cost/benefit analyses of mergers, buyouts, spinoffs, and other corporate control issues; and strategies for creating shareholder value through integrated investment and operating programs. Through six editions, Brealey and Myers' classic textbook "Principles of Corporate Finance" has become renowned for presenting in-depth discussions of financial theory and practice in an engaging and lively style.

    Description:  This is Stanislav Menshikov's revealing book Millionaires and Managers - Structure of US Financial Oligarchy which presents a rare example of ex-soviet economists exposing the plutocracy of the rich in America. Menshikov, a worldwide known russian economist, would provide his readers an extensive overview of the super rich famillies and their corporations who rule America by means of financial monopolies.

    So well was the book written and thoroughly documented that it captured the attention of fellow economists in America who would later translate it to english for the world to read. From the very rich and top managerial echelons to the huge financial monopolies and banks, Millionaires and Managers shows in number charts and its careful analysis who are the real rulers of America.

    Although written in former Soviet Union, the ostensible opponent of capitalist America, the reader can't help himself to notice that the system Menshikov is describing is very much alike the communist one in his own country with the only difference of super rich famillies replacing the party and exercising the control through overt means by hiding behind the facade of democracy. 325 pages. A must read for everyone.
