SUMMARY:China’s LGBT Community: One Step Forward and Two Steps Back?
DESCRIPTION:Before 2001\, homosexuality was considered a psychiatric disorder and needed to be treated in China. In 2009\, Shanghai Pride became the first and largest LGBT event in China that drew attention from national and international audience. During that time\, gay clubs and community groups began to flourish in big cities. But it didn’t last long as government control began to tighten again in recent years.

SUMMARY:The Entrepreneurs: The Relentless Quest for Value
DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime talk. Entrepreneurs are among the primary shapers of our culture\, yet their role in driving progress and influencing society has often been overlooked. As far back as we can trace human history\, there have been entrepreneurs. Almost five millennia ago\, copper tool manufacturers set up a factory in what today is southwest Spain\, profiting for hundreds of years from trade around the Mediterranean. Papyri document the diverse investments of an ancient Egyptian businessman\, from grain-yielding land to flax for linen cloth. What do these figures have in common with renowned modern entrepreneurs\, and how do their similarities help us achieve a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship as well as the potential for a healthier\, wealthier and more equitable and sustainable future? Derek Lidow delves into the deep history of innovation to deliver essential new insights into how entrepreneurs create value and bring about change. Telling the captivating stories of people from many different cultures over thousands of years\, he shows how entrepreneurs transform the world through relentless innovation. Lidow demonstrates that far from being heroic lone individuals\, they copy and then add to the inventions of others. The cumulative innovations of swarms of entrepreneurs expand the scale\, scope and range of products and services. Lidow emphasizes how entrepreneurship can harm society as well as benefit it\, and he underscores ways to mitigate its harmful side and harness its positive effects. By highlighting the fundamental qualities of innovation\, this book provides indispensable new perspective on how it is shaping our present and future.
