Что подумает сосед Василий?:
 "Россия опасна мизерностью своих потребностей", - сказал в позапрошлом веке Отто Бисмарк. Опасна она не только для врагов, но и для самой себя. Западные системы мотивации эффективного труда кое-как приживаются в крупных городах, но терпят полное фиаско за их пределами. Да и Советский Союз погиб в первую очередь из-за того, что социалистическая концепция "морального и материального поощрения ударного труда" не работала.

В российской провинции большинство составляют люди, которых работать не заставят ни деньги, ни власть, ни слава, потому что они им не нужны. А что нужно? Ответ на этот вопрос корреспондент "Эксперта" получил в беседе с Валерием Кустовым - генеральным директором компании ЭФКО, которая производит продукцию под известными торговыми марками "Слобода" и Altero. Разговор наш состоялся в его кабинете на масложировом заводе в городе Алексеевке Белгородской области."

Monty Don's gardening diaries: Me and my wife built our life around our home and garden | Mail Online

When gardening expert Monty Don and his wife, Sarah, bought a ruined house in Herefordshire in 1991, they were at a low ebb after the failure of their jewellery business. With great determination and energy, they threw themselves into restoring the house and creating a magnificent garden. In the first of our exclusive extracts from Monty's inspiring new book, The Ivington Diaries, which is based on the journals he has kept for the past 18 years, he looks back at those early days and how the garden helped him get back on his feet again.
