Synopsis:
When everyone else says no, say yes. James Harmon has embraced that motto through a lifetime of adventures--brokering international deals, meeting the famous and the notorious alike, purchasing the song ""Happy Birthday"" for $18 million, and even wrangling congressional back-room dealings as CEO of the Export-Import Bank during the Clinton Administration. From the moment he arrived on Wall Street as a young investment banker in the 1970s, Harmon said yes to each new chapter. His journey begins in Italy and reaches a climax during post-Arab Spring protests in Egypt, where he works with the State Department to stimulate the local economy. At each stop, Harmon advocates for global change by examining the issues of our time, such as the economic empowerment of women and the urgent need for a carbon-free future. Harmon's words encourage us to embrace public service in ways big and small, from helping a local library to electing a president or bolstering a nation. A journey through a period of great change in American history and in one man's life, Up and Doing shows that we can grow wherever we're planted and that the best way to do well is by doing good.

Hardback. Condition: New. From championing developing nations to funding our carbon-free future, investor and advisor James Harmon reveals how markets can move the world forward by creating stable, growing economies and sound deals that promote economic development.James Harmon has always had a passion for ambitious causes. As a banker, he successfully advised corporations, like Starbucks, and helped them to become cultural institutions. Dabbling in the movie and music industries, he found meaning in funding the art he felt would make people happy and add to the public good. His unique perspective on investment led him to the Clinton White House as head of EXIM Bank and, eventually, to Egypt, where he represented the State Department shortly after the Arab Spring. Still "up and doing," today he cochairs the board of the World Resources Institute. Not all of Harmon's deals were successes, and he recounts the wins and losses in equal detail, exposing lessons learned, and even sharing a few farcical scenes featuring Washington's and Wall Street's most notorious bold-face names. No matter where he is replanted, Harmon advocates for global change by examining the issues of our time, including women's financial empowerment and the urgent need to fight climate change. He encourages our leaders to apply lessons learned in the private sector to the world's most demanding challenges, from helping a local community to electing a president or bolstering a developing African nation.Up and Doing presents a tale of the deals that made Harmon a celebrated figure in the world of global investment, and shows that the best way to do well is by also doing good.
