Synopsis

What would you do if you suddenly lost everything? If the business you've put your heart and soul into is gone overnight? This question became a reality for many entrepreneurs whose businesses were destroyed during the looting of July 2021 in South Africa.
Alef Meulenberg travelled into the heart of townships like Alexandra in Johannesburg and the deep rural settings of KwaZulu-Natal to follow ten entrepreneurs who built businesses from nothing, nurtured and grew them over the years, only to lose everything during this time.
In The Overcomers Alef provides us with each of these entrepreneurs' stories – where they come from, what they do, what happened during the looting and how they recovered from such a devastating event. And, importantly, Alef writes about the dreams of these remarkable entrepreneurs and their plans to grow their businesses going forward.
These stories about hardship, resilience, determination and hope are the backdrop for valuable lessons for all of us, in both business and life.
Let's learn from those who have come out on the other side.
Let us learn from the overcomers.

    The legendary founder of Vanguard “presents an insider’s view of what’s wrong with corporate America and what can be done to improve it” (Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street).New York Times-bestselling author of Enough and The Little Book of Common Sense Investing John Bogle has seen firsthand the innermost workings—and grotesque abuses—of the financial industry, and is renowned as an advocate for the small investor and for the restoration of integrity to the system. He knows that a trustworthy business and financial complex is essential to America’s continuing leadership in the world and to social and economic progress at home. In this book he reveals what went wrong and how we lost our way—and more importantly, how we can right our course. He argues for a return to a governance structure in which owners’ capital that has been put at risk is used in their interests rather than in the interests of corporate and financial managers. Given that ownership is now consolidated in the hands of relatively few large mutual and pension funds, the specific reforms Bogle details in this book are essential as well as practical—and should be considered by every investor, analyst, Wall Streeter, policy maker, and businessperson. “Deserves attention in the precincts of power.”—Publishers Weekly

    The world has changed and so too has investing. The market is shell  shocked and yesterday's momentum stocks are today's slow-motion  stocks.  But in the new reality of low-growth investing,  commodities are hot and getting hotter. A rapidly industrializing  and urbanizing Asia will be demanding lots more copper, zinc, iron  ore, coal, fertilizers, gold and oil to transform their societies.  Commodities are it and that's great news for investors who  want to profit from the next great bull market in commodities. In  fact, commodities may be about the only asset class that is likely  to outperform the broad market in the future.            Although they are without a doubt  important to the global economy, commodities are among the most  misunderstood of all asset classes. Stocks, bonds and real estate  all have legions of followers and plenty of experts agree on their  importance within an investment portfolio, but venture into the  world of commodities and you are into an area that's intimidating  to the average investor, where suspicions run deep and  understanding is limited. As a result, commodities get short-shrift  in most investment accounts and investors miss out on some  important opportunities.       The Little Book of Commodity  Investing is an indispensible guide to learning the ins and  outs of commodity investing.  It's about identifying  opportunities to profit from the coming bull market in commodities.  It explains the benefits of commodities as part of a well  diversified investment portfolio; covers all of the major  commodities markets; what makes commodities and the companies that  produce them tick; why commodities sometimes zig and then zag; what  to buy and when to buy it; and why commodities are the next big  thing.       Today's world is a very different world-a  world where an understanding of commodities is a prerequisite for  investment success. And The Little Book of Commodity  Investing is the roadmap you need to discover where the  opportunities of the future lie, and what to do about it.
