James Caan: The Real Deal: My Story from Brick Lane to "Dragons' Den"

The Real Deal: My Story from Brick Lane to


Description

After dropping out of school at just sixteen, James Caan started his business life in a broom cupboard with no qualifications and two pieces of fatherly wisdom: 'observe the masses and do the opposite' and 'always look for opportunities where both parties benefit'. Armed with this advice, natural charm and the Yellow Pages, he built a market-leading business with a turnover of GBP130 million and swiftly became one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs.From Caan's childhood as a Pakistani immigrant to the phenomenal success of his first company and beyond, "The Real Deal" traces both his financial and personal achievements. It offers a frank account of what success at thirty really signifies and brings us right up to the present, including his impact on Dragons' Den and what his charity work, from saving a hospital in London to building a school in Lahore, means to him. Ultimately, it is a story of learning what money is really worth, told by one the country's most insightful businessmen.

'There is no world of thought that is not a world of language', Walter Benjamin remarked, 'and one only sees in the world what is preconditioned by language'. In this book, Samuel Weber, a leading theorist on literature and media, reveals a new and productive aspect of Benjamin's thought by focusing on a little-discussed stylistic trait in his formulation of concepts. Weber's focus is the critical suffix '-ability' that Benjamin so tellingly deploys in his work. The '-ability' (-barkeit, No Bullshit Social Media: The All-Business, No-Hype Guide to Social Media Marketing download ebook in German) of concepts and literary forms traverses the whole of Benjamin's oeuvre, from 'impartibility' and 'criticizability' through the well-known formulations of 'citability', 'translatability', and, most famously, the 'reproducibility' of "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility". Nouns formed with this suffix, Weber points out, refer to a possibility or potentiality, to a capacity rather than an existing reality. This insight allows for a consistent and enlightening reading of Benjamin's writings.
