An engaging, solutions-oriented look at how cities and nations can better navigate issues of innovation and inequality. From San Francisco to Shanghai, many of the world's most innovative places are highly unequal, with the benefits going to a small few. Rather than simply asking how we can create more high-tech cities and nations, Innovation for the Masses focuses on places that manage to foster innovation while also delivering the benefits more widely and equally. In this book, economist Neil Lee draws on case studies of Taiwan, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland to set out how innovation can be successfully balanced toward equity. As high-tech economies around the world suffer from polarized labor markets and political realities that lock in these problems, this book looks beyond the United States to other models of distributing a leading-edge economy. Lee emphasizes the active role of the state in creating frameworks to ensure that benefits are broadly shared, and he reveals that strong policies for innovation and shared prosperity are mutually reinforcing. Ultimately, Innovation for the Masses provides a vital window into alternative models that prioritize equity, the roadblocks these models present, and what other countries can learn from them going forward.

Peaky Blinders meets Moll Flanders. London, 1725. Criminal gangs rule everyday life on the streets, and an organised police force is decades away.

Nikki Sixx, a prominent figure in the music industry and founder of Motley Crue, shares his journey from a troubled childhood to rock stardom. Born Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, he faced abandonment by his father and was raised by a complex mother before living with his grandparents. An all-American kid with a passion for hunting, fishing, and football, he harbored a deeper yearning for music. This desire propelled him to take a Greyhound to Hollywood, where he initially lived with his aunt and uncle, the president of Capitol Records. However, the path to success was anything but easy, as he took on various dead-end jobs while striving to make a name for himself. During this time, he joined Sister, a band led by Blackie Lawless, and later formed London, the precursor to Motley Crue. After declining an offer from Randy Rhoads' band, he adopted the stage name Nikki Sixx. With a vision to blend punk, glam, and hard rock into a theatrical spectacle, he worked tirelessly to realize this dream. His story is not only about his transformation from Frank Feranna to Nikki Sixx but also serves as an inspiring roadmap for overcoming obstacles and achieving one’s goals through determination and passion.

'Leben heißt Leiden' ist der Nachfolger des Bestsellers 'Tagebuch eines Heroinsüchtigen' aus dem Jahre 2009. Nikki Sixx, Bassist der Hair-Metal-Legende Mötley Crüe, beweist mit seinem Zweitwerk abermals mit Nachdruck, dass er nicht nur sein Instrument, sondern auch die Tastatur seines Computer-Keyboards beherrscht. Sixx selbst sagt zu seinem Zweitling: „Dieses Buch ist nicht nur ein Werk über Fotografie, ein Tagebuch oder ein Reiseführer durch meine persönliche Hölle; es ist die Erkenntnis eines Romantikers, der sich vom einsamen Kind zum Drogensüchtigen, Künstler und Rockstar entwickelte und sich nun dank seiner Nüchternheit, Kreativität und der Rolle als Vater – mit der Kamera in der Hand – freischwimmt. Ich sage immer: Wenn etwas weh tut, bedeutet es, dass man wächst, und ich verspreche: Dieses Buch tut weh!“ Wie der es der Untertitel 'Fotografie. Musik. Kunst' bereits andeutet, handelt es sich um eine künstlerische Mischform: Einerseits schockierende Fortsetzung der Heroin-Tagebücher (bis in die Jetztzeit), anderseits ein nicht minder verstörender Bildband (mit Nikki Sixx hinter und nicht vor der Linse). Bei der US-Premiere im April 2011 weigerte sich eine große New Yorker Handelskette das Buch aufgrund seines kontroversen Fotoanteils ins Sortiment zu nehmen. Man wird sehen, welche Rezeption 'Leben heißt Leiden: Fotografie. Musik. Kunst.' hierzulande erfährt. Aber eines steht unwiderruflich fest: Dieses Buch tut weh!

Hudba, fotografování a život viděné pokřivenou optikou Nikkiho Sixxe Kniha Tohle bude bolet baskytaristy skupiny Mötley Crüe Nikkiho Sixxe (vlastním jménem Franka C. Feranny) volně navazuje na jeho Heroinové deníky, označované za „jedno z nejotevřenějších doznání v memoárové literatuře“, protože přináší pravdivou zpověď drogově závislého umělce, jenž se dostal až na samé dno. Téma Nikkiho nové knihy stejně jako její výrazové prostředky se však ve srovnání s první knihou mění – podobně jako se ve svých postojích a způsobu života mění sám autor. Jak Nikki Sixx v mottu ke knize říká, věnuje ji těm, kdo se cítí odlišní, odcizení a společensky nepřizpůsobiví, neboť jim tato kniha může ukázat svět, ve kterém jsme všichni stejní.

Motley Crue's bestselling The Dirt - penned with collaborator extraordinaire Neil Strauss - set a new bar for rock 'n' roll memoirs. This book covers various topics on Motley Crue - the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of backward-masking pentagram rock, and the creators of MTV's first power ballad.
