Beyond the Great Recession: What Happened and How to Prosper $11.17 The economy is complicated, and it’s changing fast. You know it’s affecting your life and business, but you don’t have time to figure it out. Kimberly Amadeo does. She boils it all down for you in her book Beyond the Great Recession: What Happened and How to Prosper. This entertaining 216-page book tells you what really caused the Great Recession, what shifts to expect, and most important, what you need do now. Beyond gives you the facts, so you can form your own opinion. It explains things clearly so you can understand what really happened. The Great Recession was caused by a perfect storm of economic events. One of these was financial innovation: derivatives such as mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps. These products were so complex because they were created by “quant jocks” running computer programs. Even the hedge funds that bought them didn’t really understand their true value. And they weren’t regulated.The result? The economy had a heart attack. Although the patient didn’t die, it won’t be running a marathon anytime soon. Life has changed. One such change, the Freelance Economy, means employers will keep part-time, contract and temp workers instead of hiring full-time workers and paying an additional 40% in benefits. To prosper, you must look for multiple streams of income, be flexible, and diversify. This is just one of the tools you will learn about in Beyond the Great Recession. |

Fender Benders $7.99 In his first three novels, Bill Fitzhugh created new strains of homicidal insects, sliced open the illegal transplant business, and sinfully skewered the Church and Madison Avenue with the same spear.

Freelancing Expertise: Contract Professionals in the New Economy $24.95 Contract work is more important than ever-for better or for worse, depending on one’s perspective. The security once implied by a full-time job with a stable employer is becoming rarer, thereby erasing one of the major distinctions between “freelance work” and a “steady gig.” Why hang on to a regular job for the sake of security if security can no longer be assumed? Instead, contractors, hired temporarily for specific knowledge and skills, market their expertise as they move from project to project. Even though their employment is precarious, a great many consider freelancing preferable to holding a “regular” job: the control they feel over their time and careers is well worth the risks that come with relatively uncertain cash flow. Freelancing Expertise is a qualitative study of decision making, work practices, and occupational processes among writers and editors who work in print and Web communications and programmers and engineers who work in software and systems development. Debra Osnowitz conducted sixty-eight extended interviews with representatives of both groups and twelve interviews with managers and recruiters, observed four different work settings in which contractors work alongside employees, and monitored blogs and online discussions among contractors. As a result, she provides a unique and sensitive assessment of a cultural shift in occupations and organizations. Osnowitz calls for a reconfiguration of the employer/employee relationship that accepts more variation and flexibility: just as “freelancing” has, over time, taken on many traits considered characteristic of traditional career paths, so might regular jobs make themselves more appealing to today’s workforce by mimicking some of the positive aspects of transactions between clients and contract workers. |

Glory Be! (Love Inspired Suspense Series) $1.99 Ron and Janet Benrey are a husband-and-wife team who write romantic-suspense novels for Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense. Their writing journey took them along significantly different paths before they cowrote their first novel in the late 1990s. Ron Benrey has been a writer “forever.” He wrote his way through engineering school working as a freelance writer and editor for magazines such as Electronics Illustrated and Popular Science Monthly. He eventually moved on to writing speeches, annual reports and the occasional advertisement–all for high-tech corporations. Along the way, he wrote seven nonfiction books about electronics and technology. He jokes that his specialty is writing interesting words about dull subjects. Janet Benrey is a late-blooming writer. Earlier in her career she performed a variety of unusual jobs, including executive recruiter (“headhunter”) and wedding photographer. She began writing with Ron in 1989, soon after she earned a degree in communications and they launched Benrey+Benrey, a marketing communications firm.Ron and Janet’s daytime collaboration to create marketing materials for large corporations soon became an after-hours partnership to write cozy romantic mysteries with strong Christian themes. “We started to think about an interesting story and one thing led to another,” Janet says. “We’re both avid readers, and we decided to write the kind of suspense novels we enjoy.” Although both Ron and Janet were published nonfiction writers, it took them more than seven years to master the specific techniques of fiction writing. “At one low point,” Ron says, “we threw away everything we’d written and began again.”Their perseverance paid off with a contract for their first novel, Little White Lies, for a major Christian publisher. “Our Cozy Mystery series for Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense began with our sixth novel, Glory Be!” Janet explains. “We followed up with |

Independent Contractor $46 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An independent contractor is a natural person, business, or corporation that provides goods or services to another entity under terms specified in a contract or within a verbal agreement. Unlike an employee, an independent contractor does not work regularly for an employer but works as and when required, during which time she or he may be subject to the Law of Agency. Independent contractors are usually paid on a freelance basis. Contractors often work through a limited company, which they themselves own, or may work through an umbrella company. In the United States, any company or organization engaged in a trade or business that pays more than $600 to an independent contractor in one year is required to report this to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as well as to the contractor, using Form 1099-MISC |
