The story of friends, family, hometown values - and an entrepreneur who changed American healthcare foreverIn 1961, David Jones and another young lawyer borrowed $1,000 each to build a nursing home. That modest investment turned into Humana: first the largest nursing home company in the U.S., then the largest hospital corporation, and today one of the nation's largest health insurance companies, with 65,000 employees and a value of $65 billion. "I've always believed there's nothing being done that can't be done better," Jones writes in this engaging account of American entrepreneurship. He also advocates hiring ordinary people who learn fast and get things done, rather than relying on expert credentials. But Always Moving Forward is about so much more: The controversy over for-profit medicine: Jones explains why he was "proudly not non-profit." The artificial heart: The world watched as a Humana team implanted the Jarvik-7 into a man who lived 620 days. A sixteen-year-long humanitarian mission: After the collapse of the Berlin wall and Eastern European economies, President George H. W. Bush asked Jones to help rebuild the Romanian healthcare system, which had been devastated by war and a corrupt dictator. 9/11: Jones and 23 Humana executives were at Ground Zero when the planes hit. They tell the harrowing story. Life lessons learned: For example, "Family first" and "You don't have a clear idea unless it fits on the back of a business card." Business failures as well as successes. Jones also was a great philanthropist, although mostly anonymously. His final legacy is one of the largest metropolitan parks completed this century - a project led by him and one of his sons in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Competition is the watchword, with the European Union (EU) and Japan partnering in an EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement ("EUJEPA") as an alternative trade route to the one China launched in 2012 known as "One Belt, One Road" or "OBOR", called a "New Silk Road" for the 21st century. China's OBOR has functionally "moved Europe East" by improving the economies of some Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC), Greece and Poland particularly, to the disadvantage, even chagrin, of Western European port countries including Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Netherlands. Also, the EUJEPA intends openly to undermine not only China's OBOR but United States fair trade globally, by including Western European ("Atlantic") countries as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) from which President Donald J. Trump withdrew the United States, prompting Japan to lead 11 "Pacific" countries (Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam) into encircling China by forming a "Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership" (CPTPP), also called the TPP-11 that constitute 13.4 percent of the world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or USD 13.5 Trillion in annual trading revenue. By endeavouring to forge a wedge intended to divide China and the United States, this author forecasts that Europe and Japan will succeed in reuniting China with the West once America joins China along OBOR in the way it should have done from the beginning. As the 20th century has been labeled the "American Century", the 21st century will become known as the "Sino-American Century" with China adopting an "American Dream" for itself and for its OBOR participants. Europe's wealth and with that its political clout will move Eastward much as China's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will move Westward, reaching an optimal peak in Central and Eastern Europe to the detriment of Western Europe that will witness its wealth and with that its political clout diminishing.

Paid, earned, and social media are all crucial elements of modern electioneering, yet there is a scarcity of supplementary texts for campaigns and election courses that cover all types of media. Equally, media and politics courses cover election-related topics, yet there are few books that cover these subjects comprehensively.This brief and accessible book bridges the gap by discussing media in the context of U.S elections. David A. Jones divides the book into two parts, with the first analyzing the wide array of media outlets citizens use to inform themselves during elections. Jones covers traditional, mainstream news media and opinion/entertainment-based media, as well as new media outlets such as talk shows, blogs, and late-night comedy programs. The second half of the book assesses how campaigns and candidates have adapted to the changing media environment. These chapters focus on earned media strategies, paid media strategies, and social media strategies.Written in a concise and accessible style while including recent scholarly research, the book will appeal to students with its combination of academic rigor and readability. U.S. Media and Elections in Flux will be a useful supplementary textbook for courses on campaigns and elections, media and politics, and American introductory politics.
