In The Influence Economy, Maxim Sytch explores the external influences that nudge buyers toward questionable decisions and consumption, revealing how professional services--consulting, marketing, banking, and legal firms--create demand for unnecessary and potentially harmful products and services. Sytch finds that such supplier-induced demand can take many forms, from superfluous reorganizations and frivolous lawsuits to ill-conceived acquisitions, which lead to wasted resources, demotivated workforces, and operational setbacks. Based on empirical analyses and interviews, Sytch identifies the conditions under which supplier-induced demand is likely to occur and offers insights into mitigating its effects in today's economy.
In Perfect Storm, Russia analyst Thane Gustafson reinterprets the broader story of Russia's failed opening to the West, focusing on its economic, technological, and social aspects, and the role these played in its ultimate failure.

Perfect Storm tells the story of Russia's opening to the West, from its achievements and disappointments to the complexity of the post-invasion sanctions regime and Russia's possible futures under a new generation of leaders.
