“You won’t be able to put it down. (Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day).”—Chicago Sun-Times In Geneva, American lawyer Joel Converse meets a man he hasn’t seen in twenty years, a covert operative who dies violently at his feet, whispering words that hand Converse a staggering legacy of death: “The generals . . . they’re back . . . Aquitaine!” Suddenly Converse is running for his life, alone with the world’s most shattering secret. Pursued by anonymous executioners to the dark corners of Europe, he is forced to play a game of survival by blood rules he thought he’d long left behind. One by one, he traces each thread of a lethal progression to the heart of every major government, a network of coordinated global violence that no one believes possible—no one but Converse and the woman he once loved and lost, the only two people on earth who can wrest the world from the iron grasp of Aquitaine. “Ludlum at his best.”—Publishers Weekly BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Identity.

Excessive pricing is one of the most debated theories in competition law and probably the main divide between the U.S. and European competition laws. However, even in jurisdictions in which excessive pricing is considering as an antitrust offense, there tends to be resistance to enforce excessive pricing provisions. This “hands-off” approach is based on the grounds that excessive prices self-correct, practical difficulties in measuring a competitive benchmark and identifying excessiveness, as well as the fear of distorting ex ante incentives to innovate and invest.With this article, I intend to inform the excessive pricing debate by exploring how consumers' bounded-rationality can justify antitrust intervention in particular cases that fall within the excessive pricing doctrine. Behavioral economics predicts complex contracts lead consumer demand to be a function of salience rather than the real value of products. This produces a divergence between the perceived value of goods and their real value, which drives sellers to compete solely on the former. Complexity hinders and distorts competition. In fact, complexity makes comparison shopping costlier and allows sellers to backload part of their prices to non- salient product attributes. Consumers only perceive a distorted price in salient product features, which leaves room for inefficient matching and opportunistic behavior given the risk of finding high hidden prices in non-salient product attributes. These are behavioral limits of competition.I review the literature concerning choice-strategies and consumer rationality and then illustrate my thesis by referring to a recent case that took place in Chile. I argue this example represents a paradigmatic case in which complexity and lock-in facilitate consumer exploitation and distort competition in the primary market -- following an aftermarket rationale. I argue that, dealing with opportunistic practices that stem from the inability of consumers to switch and are related to product attributes that were not policed by market forces, antitrust intervention would enhance competition on the real value of goods. Antitrust would correct a behavioral market failure.

Product management has become a critical connective role for modern organizations, from small technology startups to global corporate enterprises. And yet the day-to-day work of product management remains largely misunderstood. In theory, product management is about building products that people love. The real-world practice of product management is often about difficult conversations, practical compromises, and hard-won incremental gains. In this book, author Matt LeMay focuses on the CORE connective skills— communication, organization, research, execution—that can build a successful product management practice across industries, organizations, teams, andtoolsets. For current and aspiring product managers, this book explores:? On-the-ground tactics for facilitating collaboration and communication? How to talk to users and work with executives? The importance of setting clear and actionable goals? Using roadmaps to connect and align your team? A values-first approach to implementing Agile practices? Common behavioral traps that turn good product managers bad

As a people awaiting the return of our Savior, we are forever looking for signs of the closing events, rightly so, because the Scriptures say that we will be able to "see the day approaching." Our anticipation has - for the most part - been in vain. Time and again we have had our hopes dashed to pieces. A time will come when our excitement will be justified. Dawning of the Day is a revelation of major current events that, when viewed in their entirety, paint a picture of what could be Satan's last effort to deceive the people of God, and bring in the long expected global Sabbath laws. An "overwhelming surprise," a "snare," these are the words inspired by God to describe how the final crisis will be seen by "all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth." Luke 21:35 The surprise begins now, as you see for the first time how Satan has been working undercover to arrange things to accomplish his work. The ground work is in place, the support is there, very little remains before the trap is sprung on an unprepared church, and unsuspecting world.

Surprise Attack explores sixty plus years of military and terror threats against the United States. It examines the intelligence tools and practices that provided warnings of those attacks and evaluates the United States' responses, both in preparedness – and most importantly – the effectiveness of our military and national command authority. Contrary to common claims, the historical record now shows that warnings, often very solid warnings, have preceded almost all such attacks, both domestic and international. Intelligence practices developed early in the Cold War, along with intelligence collection techniques have consistently produced accurate warnings for our national security decision makers. Surprise Attack traces the evolution and application of those practices and explores why such warnings have often failed to either interdict or intercept actual attacks. Going beyond warnings, Surprise Attack explores the real world performance of the nation's military and civilian command and control history – exposing disconnects in the chain of command, failures of command and control and fundamental performance issues with national command authority. America has faced an ongoing series of threats, from the attacks on Hawaii and the Philippines in 1941, through the crises and confrontations of the Cold War, global attacks on American personnel and facilities to the contemporary violence of jihadi terrorism. With a detailed study of those threats, the attacks related to them, and America's response, a picture of what works – and what doesn't – emerges. The attacks have been tragic and we see the defensive preparations and response often ineffective. Yet lessons can be learned from the experience; Surprise Attack represents a comprehensive effort to identify and document those lessons.

Great power competition has returned after a generation of absence, and the U.S. military edge over prospective opponents is eroding. Whereas the United States previously could overwhelm adversaries with sheer force, if necessary, it now needs every advantage it can get. This study analyzes how the United States might inflict surprise on its adversaries to gain a strategic advantage. Surprise is one aspect of a broader discussion in the national security literature on innovative operational concepts, which may serve as force multipliers to enable the United States to get more out of existing capabilities. A follow up to CSIS’s highly successful 2018 study Coping with Surprise in Great Power Conflicts, this report highlights several components of a successful surprise, including exploiting adversary vulnerabilities, using intelligence and technology, employing secrecy and deception, and doing the unexpected. The report also contains over a dozen vignettes illustrating potential future surprises.
