About this product
Product Information
It's Not Your Father's Economy . . . If Adam Smith were to visit the United States today, he would be a very happy man. That invisible hand he made famous in The Wealth of Nations two centuries ago is more limber and supple than ever. Indeed, competition in the New Economy is so intense and uncompromising that everyone, even Fortune 500 giants, must bend to it. All of this competition has lead to a wealth of choices about every aspect of our lives -- and a huge shift in how society works and who gets rewarded. Alan Murray, the Washington bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal, shows how all of us can not only live in the New Economy, but thrive in it. The New Economy isn't just another buzz phrase, but an important change in our economic system, one that has meaning for everyone, not just the economic elite. It's creating a world in which all prices are fuzzy and everything is negotiable. If you know what you're doing, there are great gains to be made and great bargains to be had. Starting with a thoughtful overview of how the New Economy works, Murray shows, chapter by chapter, what all of us can do to take advantage of the changes taking place in everything from health care to education to the workplace. The rules have changed -- and Murray's smart advice may surprise you: Health Care: The most potentially traumatic change in the New Economy will be in the relationship between you and your doctor. Murray explains what you need to know to be an effective consumer in this ever-changing market. Education: The price of a good education has gone sky high. But your mind is your most important investment. Murray shows how to cut costs and cut deals that will help you grow. Your Job: The revolution in the workplace means that you have to think of yourself as a brand. Murray shows how to compete and excel. Personal Finance: Your father said avoid credit cards, but he never saw rates of 3.9 percent! Murray shows how you can turn the tables and use the insane competition between credit card companies to your advantage. Investing: "Professional money manager" is an oxymoron. They don't know much more than you! Murray provides easy-to-use rules that will let you get great returns on your own. Retirement: Old age isn't what it used to be. Murray explains why the traditional three-legged stool (social security, private pension, personal saving) is rickety -- and what to do about it. And much more, including websites that can help you navigate the wealth of choices, inside information on where the economy will go next, and a treasure trove of straightforward, concrete advice on thriving in a world where the consumer is king. Anyone can talk about the New Economy. Alan Murray shows how to live in it. The Wealth of Choices is the first book that combines the big picture and the street-smart tactics that will help you to profit and live well.

Reviews
"InThe Wealth of ChoicesAlan Murray shows us how the 'old rules' don't apply in the New Economy. Consumers now have more information, more choices, and more power than at any time in history. Mr. Murray's suggestions on what to do with that newfound power will be useful to anyone who works, learns, invests, or plans to retire in the New Economy.The Wealth of Choicesis a rare book -- one that combines penetrating analysis with practical tips for consumers. It's a wonderful guide to living in this new Internet-powered era." -- Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, America Online, Inc. "Alan Murray's acute eye and extensive experience make him an engaging Beatrice, taking us through the inferno of the old economy, the purgatory at the dawn of the Internet, and now into the relative paradise of a digital age." -- David Gardner, The Motley Fool "An utterly brilliant, fun book. For the next weekend with your mother-in-law, take two copies; one to take her out of the action, the other one for you to have a great time. Murray's account will turn anyone into a convert and practitioner of the New Economy. It shows how technology explosion and competition turned the stodgy Old Economy into a veritable bazaar. And if you let Murray get to you, the consequences run deep: 'don't buy retail, don't take NO for an answer EVER, haggle, don't leave money on the table, get an education, and plan your lifetime finances.'" -- Rudi Dornbusch, Ford Professor of Economics and International Management, MIT "There are always complaints that economists can't make themselves understood and that journalists can't get the economics right. The world of information technology and 'dot com' risks adding to the confusion, but Alan Murray inThe Wealth of Choicesgoes a very long way toward explaining clearly and concisely how we can all use the tools of the New Economy to our advantage." -- Paul Volcker, Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve "Alan Murray explains with clarity, charm, and wit how the New Economy has democratized information. For anyone who must steer through the age of complexity, this book is required reading." -- Reed E. Hunt, Former FCC Chairman and author ofYou Say You Want a Revolution
