- Where to from here : a path to Canadian prosperity / by Morneau, Bill,author.; Reynolds, John(John Lawrence),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Bill Morneau's experience as Canada's finance minister crystalized his vision for the country's potential for growth and prosperity. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can--and must--become. Much of the world reacted with surprise and admiration to the results of the 2015 Canadian federal election and the makeup of the government it produced. Led by a young charismatic leader with a storied family legacy on Parliament Hill, the Liberal government scored an historic victory, rising from third-party status to substantial majority. With a gender-equal cabinet and an ambitious agenda, it heralded a new approach to the country's federal politics. After an exciting and productive five years spent focused on domestic and global issues, Finance Minister Bill Morneau decided to take his leave from the same government. What prompted him to abandon one of the most powerful political offices in the country? How much of his decision was based on the often brutal give-and-take of politics? When did the penny drop, persuading one of Trudeau's brightest lights to shift his talents and energies elsewhere? In his own persuasive voice, Bill Morneau paints a positive picture, tracing his widely lauded entry into the political arena, the arc of his career in politics, major accomplishments and missed opportunities, his surprising exit, and a host of revealing episodes between the events. Told with measures of both pride and regret, he explores personalities, achievements, and failures with candor. Morneau's experience crystalized his vision for Canada and its potential for growth and prosperity. He shares a vision clearly and provocatively expressed, drafting a blueprint for the country's future. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can--and must--become."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Morneau, Bill.; Finance ministers; Finance, Public;

- Web3 : charting the Internet's next economic and cultural frontier / by Tapscott, Alex,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The Web, and with it the Internet, are entering a new age. We've moved from the "Read-only Web," which had little functionality for interacting with content, to the "Read-Write Web," which offered seemingly endless collaborative opportunities, from sharing with our favorite people to shopping at our favorite brands. But the profusion of cyberattacks, data hacks, and online profiling have left many of us to view digital life as a Faustian bargain in need of a major rethink. That rethink is Web3, the "Read-Write-Own Web"--a decentralized Internet where individuals own their own identities and can securely trade assets like money, securities, intellectual property, and art peer to peer. Made possible by blockchains, the foundational technology of bitcoin, Web3 promises the biggest shake up of business since the invention of double-entry bookkeeping in the Middle Ages. It is the Internet's new frontier. In Web3, award-winning author and technology investor Alex Tapscott provides a cutting-edge guide to the Internet's next era. Covering everything from the metaverse and non-fungible tokens to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity, this indispensable, forward-thinking book describes the building blocks and often hidden technologies that will be foundational to our cultural and economic progress."--- Subjects: Blockchains (Databases); Business; Cryptocurrencies.; Web applications.; World Wide Web;
