An engaging, solutions-oriented look at how cities and nations can better navigate issues of innovation and inequality. From San Francisco to Shanghai, many of the world's most innovative places are highly unequal, with the benefits going to a small few. Rather than simply asking how we can create more high-tech cities and nations, Innovation for the Masses focuses on places that manage to foster innovation while also delivering the benefits more widely and equally. In this book, economist Neil Lee draws on case studies of Taiwan, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland to set out how innovation can be successfully balanced toward equity. As high-tech economies around the world suffer from polarized labor markets and political realities that lock in these problems, this book looks beyond the United States to other models of distributing a leading-edge economy. Lee emphasizes the active role of the state in creating frameworks to ensure that benefits are broadly shared, and he reveals that strong policies for innovation and shared prosperity are mutually reinforcing. Ultimately, Innovation for the Masses provides a vital window into alternative models that prioritize equity, the roadblocks these models present, and what other countries can learn from them going forward.

Peaky Blinders meets Moll Flanders. London, 1725. Criminal gangs rule everyday life on the streets, and an organised police force is decades away.

Nikki Sixx is one of the most respected, recognisable, and entrepreneurial icons in the music industry. As the founder of Motley Crue who is now in his twenty-first year of sobriety, Sixx is incredibly passionate about his craft and wonderfully open about his life in rock and roll, and as a person of the world. Born Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, young Frankie was abandoned by his father and partly raised by his mother, a woman who was ahead of her time in some ways and deeply troubled in others. Frankie ended up living with his grandparents, bouncing from farm to farm and state to state. He was an all-American kid - hunting, fishing, chasing girls, and playing football - but underneath it all, there was a burning desire for more, and that more was music. He eventually took a Greyhound bound for Hollywood. In Los Angeles, Frank lived with his aunt and his uncle - the president of Capitol Records. But there was no short path to the top. He was soon on his own. There were dead-end jobs: dipping circuit boards, clerking at liquor and record stores, selling used light bulbs, and hustling to survive. But at night, Frank honed his craft, joining Sister, a band formed by fellow hard-rock veteran Blackie Lawless, and formed a group of his own: London, the precursor of Motley Crue. Turning down an offer to join Randy Rhoads' band, Frank changed his name to Nikki London, Nikki Nine, and, finally, Nikki Sixx. Like Huck Finn with a stolen guitar, he had a vision: a group that combined punk, glam, and hard rock into the biggest, most theatrical and irresistible package the world had ever seen. With hard work, passion, and some luck, the vision manifested in reality - and this is a profound true story finding identity, of how Frank Feranna became Nikki Sixx. And it's a road map to the ways you can overcome anything, and achieve all of your goals, if only you put your mind to it

Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and surprisingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom—and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

'Leben heißt Leiden' ist der Nachfolger des Bestsellers 'Tagebuch eines Heroinsüchtigen' aus dem Jahre 2009. Nikki Sixx, Bassist der Hair-Metal-Legende Mötley Crüe, beweist mit seinem Zweitwerk abermals mit Nachdruck, dass er nicht nur sein Instrument, sondern auch die Tastatur seines Computer-Keyboards beherrscht. Sixx selbst sagt zu seinem Zweitling: „Dieses Buch ist nicht nur ein Werk über Fotografie, ein Tagebuch oder ein Reiseführer durch meine persönliche Hölle; es ist die Erkenntnis eines Romantikers, der sich vom einsamen Kind zum Drogensüchtigen, Künstler und Rockstar entwickelte und sich nun dank seiner Nüchternheit, Kreativität und der Rolle als Vater – mit der Kamera in der Hand – freischwimmt. Ich sage immer: Wenn etwas weh tut, bedeutet es, dass man wächst, und ich verspreche: Dieses Buch tut weh!“ Wie der es der Untertitel 'Fotografie. Musik. Kunst' bereits andeutet, handelt es sich um eine künstlerische Mischform: Einerseits schockierende Fortsetzung der Heroin-Tagebücher (bis in die Jetztzeit), anderseits ein nicht minder verstörender Bildband (mit Nikki Sixx hinter und nicht vor der Linse). Bei der US-Premiere im April 2011 weigerte sich eine große New Yorker Handelskette das Buch aufgrund seines kontroversen Fotoanteils ins Sortiment zu nehmen. Man wird sehen, welche Rezeption 'Leben heißt Leiden: Fotografie. Musik. Kunst.' hierzulande erfährt. Aber eines steht unwiderruflich fest: Dieses Buch tut weh!
