From Hannibal’s brilliance at the Battle of Cannae to understanding group behavior in Desmond Morris’s popular book The Naked Ape to developing economic insights from Thorstein Veblen’s classic The Theory of the Leisure Class, René successfully demonstrates the importance of going beyond ‘the narrow confines of the firm to the economy at large, society in general, and time beyond the present.’ . . . René Azurin, after all, is one of the few Filipino intellectuals who can provide an expansive overview of strategic thinking as applied to various aspects of life.” The origins of strategy -- How military strategy evolved -- How technology and economics change the art of war -- The organization of society and the evolution of government -- Lessons from the fall of emperors and kings -- The development of democratic government -- The nature and structure of political power -- On the character and motives of politicians -- The foundations of modern economics -- The impact of government's economic policies on public welfare -- On economic incentives and business regulation -- The structure of markets and its effect on competitive conduct -- The foundations of business strategy -- On human motivation and behavior -- On the centrality of purpose.
