In The World for Sale, two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the economy: the workings of the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard and sell the earth's resources. It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres.

Frustrated by the high costs and difficulty of accepting credit card payments, McKelvey joined his friend Jack Dorsey (the cofounder of Twitter) to launch Square, a startup that would enable small merchants to accept credit card payments on their mobile phones. The Innovation Stack is a thrilling business narrative that's much bigger than the story of Square. It is an irreverent first-person look inside the world of entrepreneurship, and a call to action for all of us to find the entrepreneur within ourselves and identify and fix unsolved problems - one crazy idea at a time.

Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel - a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources - produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK?

Since its founding in 1892, GE has been more than just a corporation. For generations, it was job security, a solidly safe investment, and an elite business education for top managers. GE electrified America, powering everything from lightbulbs to turbines, and became fully integrated into the American societal mindset as few companies ever had. And after two decades of leadership under legendary CEO Jack Welch, GE entered the twenty-first century as America's most valuable corporation. Yet, fewer than two decades later, the GE of old was gone.

A New York Times technology correspondent presents the dramatic rise and fall of Uber, set against the rapid upheaval in Silicon Valley during the mobile era. Based on hundreds of interviews with current and former Uber employees, along with previously unpublished documents, Super Pumped is a pause-resisting story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth, and bad behavior, that explores how blistering technological and financial innovation culminated in one of the most catastrophic 12-month periods in American corporate history.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The extraordinary inside story of how Instagram became the world’s most successful app.
In just 10 years, Instagram has gone from being a simple photo app to a $100-billion company. The journey has involved ground-breaking innovations, a billion-dollar takeover and clashes between some of the biggest names in tech. But it’s a story that has never been told – until now.
In No Filter, Bloomberg’s Sarah Frier reveals how Instagram became the hottest app in a generation, reshaping our culture and economy in the process. With astonishing access to all the key players – from Instagram’s co-founders to super-influencers like Kris Jenner – Frier offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of every moment in the company’s life: from its launch, to its unlikely acquisition by Facebook, to its founders’ dramatic disputes with their new boss, Mark Zuckerberg.
But this is not just a Silicon Valley story. No Filter explores how Instagram has reshaped global business, creating a new economy of ‘influencers’ and pioneering a business model that sells an aspirational lifestyle to all of us. And it delves into Instagram’s effects on popular culture, rewiring our understanding of celebrity and placing mounting pressure on all of us to perform online – to the point of warping our perception of reality.
The resulting book connects one company’s rise to a global revolution in technology, culture and business. Facebook’s decision to buy Instagram was the best investment it ever made. But we’re still learning about what it has cost the rest of us.

A fascinating mindset insight
This was a great insight into the people and motivations behind Instagram. I had no problem finishing it, and was generally captivated throughout.
Just after halfway, a lot of discussion goes into influencers and general social media explanations which interest me less personally.
I found the rise of Instagram and the seemingly small world of Silicon Valley a real surprise. The heart that went into it by the founders and the heart taken out by Facebook.

A fine book but not more
The book tells Instagram's story and gives a bit of an insight into Silicon Valley's ecosystem. However, there is not a great deal to be learnt from it and the story itself didn't feel captivating. Had to push myself to finish the book.

Number one fan writes love letter to Instagram
An ok story but basically a worshipful narration of the authors beloved app and how wonderful celebrity culture was in promoting it.
The glorification of celebrities like the Kardashians and the negative portrayal of instagram’s contemporary tech apps becomes tiresome as does the deification of instagrams founder. Stick with it, as it is an interesting and well delivered story its just the focus on the fatuous Hollywood crowd and the adoration of the founder that does become a challenge at times.

Depth, detail and well narrated
A comprehensive and clear insight into the whole and overall Instagram story. There weren't many (if any questions) left unanswered as this book went on.
It gives more than enough content of explanation without going on unnecessary tangents.
A lot of great work and research has gone into this book.
There is enough context delivered on the relationships with the likes of Facebook and Snapchat also.

Its a story of how nasty Facebook was to Instagram
I heard the word Facebook more than the word Instagram. The book should be a short article rather than a full length book. Nothing of substance and nothing of interest from a business perspective. Seemed to be a bunch of tabloid moments compiled into a story.

What a wonderful book
This is one of the those books where expectations are good but the book still manages to keep you engaged. I found the narration quite good but the best thing about the book is how well its written.
You manage to understand what happened behind the scenes compared to what you saw as a user of instagram and cultural significance of it all.
Would receommend this book for anyone.
