Crisis and Power. Volume 1. Stairway to Heaven. 2nd edition

In the new expanded edition of «Stairway to Heaven», Mikhail Khazin and Sergey Shcheglov present a general theory of Power and detail all stages of a power career — from an ordinary employee of a corporation to a high-ranking representative... of the global elite. What rule of Power did Steve Jobs violate when he was fired from all positions in his own company Apple in 1984? Which enemy drove the «genius of the Carpathians», the all-powerful dictator of Romania Nicolae Ceaușescu, to execution? Why did the military coup of 1958 in France start with generals, and why did power eventually go to the long-retired de Gaulle? How many years did it take a real person of Power to move from a beggar on the street to the emperor of Byzantium, and how did he manage to do it? Why is political uncertainty the best time for an aspiring careerist?
