“Meconomy” in English: The international edition is out now
Excellent news: My latest book Meconomy has finally been translated into English. A big thank you goes to the team that made this possible: Martin Fischer, Dirk Mönkemöller, Karolina Leczkowski, Torsten Bergler, and everyone at epubli.
If you have been asking yourself whether you can recommend Meconomy to friends in (or from) other countries (and many people did ask me this since the book came out), here’s all you need to know …
From today on you can buy Meconomy as an e-book (EPUB), or for Amazon Kindle, and on paper via epubli or Amazon. iBooks will be added shortly. Prices are the same as for the German edition. Please spread the word.
If you never heard about the book and wonder what it’s all about please feel free to read the excerpts on my website or check out some reviews:
The press on “Meconomy”:
“Detailed, well-researched, fascinating.”
dpa (German Press Agency)
“This is the future of our world of work.”
Welt am Sonntag
“An uplifting guidebook for creative professionals marketing themselves.”
Spiegel Online
“You could call Markus Albers ‘the German Chris Anderson’. Same as with Anderson’s bestseller, the publishing of Meconomy positively proves that the book’s core thesis is correct.”
E-Book News
“Why playing it safe amid economic crisis isn’t necessarily safe at all.”
Designmind
“After years of longing for a job for life and worshipping the ideal of staying at home in comfort, Germans are showing signs of becoming globally minded entrepreneurs. (They) are learning not just to rely on corporate jobs or the excellent welfare state but are instead taking their futures into their own hands.”
Monocle
“In a hyper-individualized society, sociality is becoming the main object of desire for individuals. Or as Markus Albers puts it in his forthcoming book about what he coins the Meconomy: ‘The Meconomy does not entail a purely egoistic philosophy. On the contrary, it promotes a new culture of empathy and social engagement.’”
CNET
The press on my first book, “Morgen komm ich später rein”:
“A plea for more freedom at work.”
GQ
“Why being stuck in the office every day isn’t a necessity.”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“Companies like Google or IBM have come to realize that their creative employees know best when and where they achieve the right results. Meconomy shows in a both entertaining and insistent way that it is worth tackling this revolution.”
Amazon.de
“How do you create a results-only work environment for yourself or a company? The new German hit ‘Morgen komm ich später rein’. Danke, Markus!”
Tim Ferriss, author of “The 4-Hour Workweek”
“Markus Albers explains why we should have more time off – and how we tell that to our bosses.”
NEON
