Paperback. Condition: New. Winner, 2025 Choice Outstanding Academic TitleFinancial professionals are paid as if they were capable of "beating the market" on a regular basis. In fact, active fund managers routinely underperform low-cost index funds, and financial analysts frequently produce inaccurate stock recommendations-and many receive large fees even when their clients are losing money. Why do financial intermediaries still persist in the investing world despite this track record? Economic theory, obsessed with notions of market efficiency, has no good answer.This book demonstrates how long-standing social relationships within the investing world contribute to a state of inertia, which prevents substantive change to the status quo. In financial markets-as in many other settings-social groups persist through habit, routine, and path dependency. Financial intermediaries, for their part, use their positions to maintain and reproduce a state of affairs from which they benefit. Although financial professionals portray their world as one of dynamism and continuous innovation, in reality a strategic and purposeful inertia often prevails. An incisive sociological analysis of the communities that constitute financial markets, Inertia offers new insight into the social structures and dynamics that shape economic action.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jimmie, a deeply moving novel by Jim Valentine, begins as a slow-burn college romance story, following Jim and Judy Valentine, two sensible, quietly mismatched students at Knox College, whose unexpected connection grows into a lifelong bond. What starts as an indifferent courtship and a whimsical mock wedding soon becomes a nostalgic American love story filled with practicality, sharp wit, and an affection that deepens long after their marriage.But the heart of this heartfelt family fiction is their son, Jimmie, whose life transforms the family in extraordinary ways. After being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Jimmie survives life-saving surgery that leaves him blind. His blindness and independence journey shape the novel's emotional core, making it an unforgettable emotional family story. Jimmie learns Braille and mobility skills, exceeding everyone's expectations by pursuing independence with unwavering determination.As Jim and Judy navigate parenthood, sacrifice, and the weight of uncertainty, their journey becomes a powerful husband-wife story, revealing how love can survive through anything.From the first chapter, this blind hero's emotional growth draws the reader in and keeps them hooked until the last page. Blending sincerity with gentle humor, Jimmie ultimately stands as a character-driven witty relationship story about extraordinary strength, love, and the quiet triumphs that define a life.
