Radical uncertainty : decision-making beyond the numbers / by Kay, J. A.(John Anderson),author.(CARDINAL)134819; King, Mervyn A.,author.(CARDINAL)715687;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 467-511) and index.Introduction: The nature of uncertainty -- The lure of probabilities -- Making sense of uncertainty -- Economics and uncertainty -- Living with uncertainty."In a changing world, forecasts and numbers usually represent bogus quantification. Kay and King tell us how to think smarter. Radical uncertainty changes the way we should think about decision-making. For over half a century economics has assumed that people behave rationally by optimizing among well-defined choices. Behavioral economics questioned how far people are rational, pointing to the cognitive biases that seem to describe actual behavior. Radical Uncertainty is a bold, paradigm-shifting book that takes us past standard and behavioral economics, completely shifting our understanding of the role economics can play in decision-making. We can never have the information required to optimize. But the failure to come to terms with this reality has led us to build our largest financial organizations, develop major policy decisions, and create business structures on shifting sands-the false belief that the numbers provided by economic models give us the answer. They don't. The best managers in the public and private sectors rely on narratives, not numbers"--

Government Support Index Handbook 2022 provides comprehensive information on all federal domestic programs offering financial and non-financial assistance, and helps readers distinguish which programs are administered to the public via local offices, from those administered from the federal agency headquarters. The book includes over 2,266 federal programs that are summarized from data contained in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), maintained by the General Services Administration. It provides a profile of each program that condenses over 3,000 pages in the CFDA to just the essential details. This book includes new programs that are created through federal authorization, including USC, ACT, Statute, Public Law, and Executive Order, to meet the new needs of the American public. While it is rare that programs are terminated, it is more common for programs to be replaced. Over time, the number of programs has grown from 989 in 1984 to over 2,255 today. The following information is given for each program: Agency abbreviation and program number; Program name and Popular name, when applicable ; Award type(s) ; Purpose and objectives of the program ; Applicant and Beneficiary eligibility rules ; Award range and average values awarded applicable to financial awards; Funding values of recent awards by fiscal year; Headquarter office address and contact."--Publisher.

The number : a completely different way to think about the rest of your life / by Eisenberg, Lee,1946-(CARDINAL)520010;
Includes indexThe anxiety-riddled discussion about financial planning for a secure and fulfilling future has been given a new starting point in this book. The Number represents the amount of money and resources people will need to enjoy the active life they desire, especially post-career. From Wall Street to Main Street USA, The Number means different things to different people. It is constantly fluctuating in people's minds and bank accounts. To some, it symbolizes freedom, validation, success; to others, an impoverished existence creeping up on them in their old age. Believing that the Number is as much about self-worth as it is net worth, Eisenberg translates the Number into commonsense advice. This book is not an investment guide, but rather a look behind our most common financial and emotional conflicts and how we can begin to get a grip on them.--From publisher description.
