Power for a Price
The Qing dynasty office purchase system (juanna), which allowed individuals to pay for government appointments, was regarded in traditional Chinese historiography as inherently corrupt and anti-meritocratic. Lawrence Zhang's groundbreaking study of a broad selection of new archival and other printed evidence contradicts this widely held assessment.
Power for a Price
The Qing dynasty office purchase system (juanna), which allowed individuals to pay for appointments in the government, was regarded in traditional Chinese historiography as an inherently corrupt and anti-meritocratic practice. It enabled participants to become civil and military officials while avoiding the competitive government-run examination systems. Lawrence Zhang’s groundbreaking study of a broad selection of new archival and other printed evidence—including a list of over 10,900 purchasers of offices from 1798 and narratives of purchase—contradicts this widely held assessment and investigates how observers and critics of the system, past and present, have informed this questiona...
Product packaging as tool to demand a price premium: Does packaging enhance consumers‘ value perception to justify a price premium
This study addresses the question of the impact of packaging to demand a price premium leveraging the example of retailer brand premium products in the food segment in Germany. Product tiering is a pricing structure that is commonly used by producers, in which consumers are segmented by willingness to pay for specific (added) product benefits. This is a way of maximizing utility for both consumers and producers, and is commonly already leveraged by producers of branded products, but lately also by retailer brands, especially to enable growth outside the value tier. This research uses a survey across grocery purchase decision makers in Germany to identify the relationship of packaging and willingness to pay across a sample of retailer brand Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 products as well as a branded product in four different grocery categories. The intent is to answer whether i) packaging currently justifies the premium price of retailer brand tier 1 products compared to other product tiers, ii) packaging justifies the tier 1 retailer brand price premium, and iii) demographics influence the willingness to pay a premium price.
Summary of David A. Price's Geniuses at War
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The United States had two agencies that decoded intercepted communications: one in the army and one in the navy. This arrangement may have made the maximum number of bureaucrats happy, but it sometimes led to counterproductive results. #2 The Government Code Cypher School was created in 1919 to decode messages between the German government and its agents. It was headed by Denniston, who had never run anything before. He disliked anything to do with bureaucracy and administration, but he was needed to decode the messages. #3 In the early 1920s, the German military began to build up its army beyond the limit set by the Treaty of Versailles. It built secret flying clubs and sent its officers and crews abroad for training. #4 Hitler had promised the German military that he would purge the SA, his enforcers, in exchange for their support. In June 1934, the officers began executing SA leaders and others deemed suspect. Hitler claimed that 74 people had been killed, but unofficial estimates were much higher.

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects
The answers for perfect teeth, unblemished skin, and pristine hair are in this book. Dr. Price was 75 years ahead of his time. In this book, he demonstrates that isolated groups of people living in accordance with Nature have the best overall physical and mental health. Diseases inflicting “modern” humans are unheard of in most of these study groups. Dr. Weston Andrew Price, DDS, was called the “Isaac Newton of Nutrition” and the “Darwin of Nutrition.” This edition of Dr. Price’s classic is modernized with the epub format. It is easier to read on smartphones and tablets. It also includes updated statistics and additional images. Dr. Price shows that illness, disease, behavior, criminality, anemia, voice, and even cheek-line, are all within the domain of Nutrition. “If civilized man is to survive, he must incorporate the fundamentals of primitive nutritional wisdom into his modern lifestyle.” —Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS

A Price to Pay
In 2002, three English bankers became involved in the Enron fall-out when they heard on television that the US government would seek their extradition under laws designed for terrorists. The US government only needed to identify them but not provide evidence of the crime committed. In a very public battle supported by The Times, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail - with incidental support from Tony Blair, then Prime Minister - they fought their extradition. They lost in 2006 and were put on trial in a court in Texas for actions that are legal in the UK. In this book David Bermingham tells for the first time since their release in August 2010 the full story from the summons in 2002 to his return to Britain.
The Price of Fish
In The Price of Fish, Michael Mainelli and Ian Harris examine in a unique way the world s most abiding and wicked problems sustainability, global warming, over-fishing, overpopulation, the pensions crisis; all of which are characterized by a set of messy, circular, aggressive and peculiarly long-term problems and go on to suggest that it is not the circumstances that are too complex, but our way of reading them that is too simple. Too simple and often wrong. The authors aim to blend four streams choice, economics, systems and evolution in a combination they believe is the key to making better decisions and, in turn, finding answers to the world's most pernicious problems.
