#Infographics #Management #Economics #Leadership

Lately, I’ve learned that I can’t read cleverly-wise books with a high level of abstraction in the evening – after a working day, my neuron starts to troll and I stop perceiving the text as vividly as in the morning. But I found a way out - in the evenings I study visual books, where there are a lot of diagrams and infographics. And the book.Visualizing Change" just like that. It was written by the creators of the site. VisualCapitalist.com This is a collection of interesting information about 8 themes (sources given here)

  • Tech Invasion - as tech companies (with their own business models) They are the most expensive in the world.
  • Evolution of Money What is money, when credit appeared, how Ancient Rome was a trading empire and how it came to an end, about cash and how it is replaced by electronic payments
  • Green Revolution How the world is provided with energy, about batteries (li-ion)About metals that are needed to create batteries, about the rise of Tesla
  • Wealth Landscape The richest people in the world, the richest companies, blockchain and ICOs
  • Eastern Promises - How China comes to the fore, about Southeast Azuya (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines) And of course, Africa.
  • Shifting Human Geography How megacities are growing like mushrooms around the world, about poverty, about declining birth rates and the demographic situation in general
  • Trade Paradox - a story about global trade, about the growth of the economy in North America, the tragedy of Venezuela, about competition and the costs of countries
  • Macro View An interesting look at the development of the economy of different countries from ancient times to the present moment, about the most valuable brands, about top companies in terms of revenue and profit per employee (It's funny that FannieMae and FreddieMac, who we remember from the mortgage crisis, led the way in earnings per employee.)

And in the end, the authors talk about lifetime learning, which is necessary due to the fact that everything around is changing quite quickly:)
