This book will help you decode more than 1000 gestures of other people and learn to tell whether they are lying to you or not."Ladder to Heaven"Power is not given, power is taken – how many times have you heard these words, and how many times have you repeated them, not thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the violent seizure of power in any country is a grave crime, and attempts to "take power" end not on the throne but on the scaffold. How did it happen that a common opinion about Power became an advertisement for a criminal and dead-end path to it, and how do ordinary people actually become people of Power? In their book, Khazin and Shcheglov offer the reader a completely new interpretation of the essence of Power, detailing all stages of a power career – from an ordinary employee of a corporation to a high-ranking representative of the global elite. Participating in a dialogue with the Theorist and the Practitioner, the Reader gradually becomes familiar with the main categories of Power theory (power groups, resources, vassals, and suzerains) and its rules, the main one of which has always been and remains "Silence is golden!" What rule of Power did Steve Jobs violate when he was fired from all posts in his own company Apple in 1984? Which enemy led to the execution of the "genius of the Carpathians," the all-powerful dictator of Romania Nicolae Ceaușescu? Why did the military coup in France in 1958 begin with generals, while power ended up with De Gaulle, who had long since resigned? How many years did it take a real person of Power to go from a beggar on the cathedral steps to the emperor of Byzantium, and how did he actually achieve this? How did American oligarchs Morgans and Rockefellers really, rather than in the conspiracy theorists' assumptions, fight each other, and what is the power balance among their heirs in the modern world ruling elite? This and much more is covered in the new book by the renowned Russian economist Mikhail Khazin and popular blogger Sergey Shcheglov.
