The Art of Controversy (or - The Art of Being Right) by Arthur Schopenhauer audiobook. The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) (Die Kunst, Recht zu Behalten) is a short treatise written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in which he presents thirty-eight methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer champions the virtue of dialectical argument, in his view wrongly neglected by philosophers in favour of logic, and goes on to discuss the distinction between our conscious intellectual powers and our will. The text is a favourite of debaters including the philosophers AC Grayling and Mary Warnock, and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

Chief Marketing Officer at RGA. Ashish is an innovator, activist, abolitionist and change-maker, dedicated to using his power, influence and privilege to tackle justice reform.This is the Fast Company article which led me to slide into his DMs.In this episode, Ashish shares his backstory, being one of the few formerly incarcerated people in the c-suite. From being Boris Johnsons' Press Secretary (back when he was Mayor of London), working on the election campaigns for Tony Blair, Barack Obabma in his US Presidential Campaign to working with the Vice Chair of the DNC to mobilise the vote for President Joe Bidens campaign.We cover everything from:Black and Black kinshipUK politicsWhite supremacyCapitalismChallenging narratives from the past and presentWhat social justice needs to look and feel like; andWhy as the c-suite, sitting on the fence is no longer an option.About Ashish PrasharFind him on Twitter: @Ash_PrasharAshish is a transformational leader, innovator, and justice reform activist.

Prashar currently serves on the boards on the Board of Exodus Transitional Community, Getting Out and Staying Out NYC, Just Leadership USA, Leap Confronting Conflict, the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice, and is a fellow at the Royal Society of Arts.Historically, businesses have not been interested in taking a permanent, effective stand against our criminal justice system, loath to let profits slip through their fingers or worrying about alienating some customers. However, Americans are determined not just to call local police departments, prisons and governments to account, but companies, too. It's time for businesses across America to act. We will all have to look back on our actions in this moment and see how serious we were about justice and quickly discover what side of history businesses were on. You can start by hiring formerly incarcerated people. If you don't already work with a formerly incarcerated person, it's very likely your business is not doing enough on this front. This is not rocket science. Talent practices must also recognize that all people have potential. We have to hire on what an applicant can bring to a company. We need to give formerly incarcerated people the space to thrive, the opportunity to create, and the tools to develop their potential. Second-chance hiring is not preferential treatment; it's equal treatment through the elimination of unnecessary systemic barriers. It's equity.

Clusters such as Silicon Valley are liked by policymakers for many reasons. They are visible, often prestigious, and are effectively cities in miniature. They take the things that make urban economies work and amplify and concentrate them in a particular place. London's Tech City programme was launched in 2010 to accelerate its tech cluster in Shoreditch and, by 2014, the then Mayor of London Boris Johnson was hailing it a huge success. But did the policy have any effect? And how might you approach evaluation when there are no like-for-like comparators? For this episode of City Talks, Dr Max Nathan joins Andrew Carter to discuss his recent paper 'Does light touch cluster policy work? Evaluating the Tech City programme'.
