Summary

The South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) vision provides the premise that SASEC countries---Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka---which have grown robustly in recent years, can tap each other's strength to realize their potential of propelling Asia's future growth. They can harness their individual comparative advantages by cooperating better in facilitating trade and enhancing connectivity, and providing the subregion's produce, better access to global and regional markets. The SASEC Vision demonstrates how enormous benefits can be achieved through regional cooperation, by leveraging opportunities and synergies between three levers---natural resources, industrial potential, and connectivity.

    A critique of socialism by the Nobel Prize–winning economist: “The energy and precision with which Mr. Hayek sweeps away his opposition is impressive.” —The Wall Street Journal 
 
In this work, F.A. Hayek—a pioneer in monetary theory and proponent of libertarian philosophy—gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the “errors of socialism.” Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that the twentieth century witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the “fatal conceit” the idea that “man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes.” 
 
“The achievement of The Fatal Conceit is that it freshly shows why socialism must be refuted rather than merely dismissed—then refutes it again.” —Fortune

    This book presents a model for change based on five strategic ways  that social entrepreneurs change social systems  -  these  are proven principles that any individual leader or organization  can apply to bringing about deep, lasting and systematic change.  Illustrated and brought to life by compelling real life examples of  social change leaders across all fields, the framework in this book  will offer a roadmap that allows anyone to become a "changemaker."  After introducing the five principles model, each chapter will use  compelling real life examples to illustrate how each is used by  social entrepreneurs in driving significant change that not only  offers solutions but changes whole systems. The book presents some  of today's most innovative and effective approaches to solving  social and environmental challenges; envisioning social  entrepreneurs as role models, catalysts, enablers and recruiters  who spread waves system changing solutions throughout society like  a rock in a pond.!   Through each example, this book will help readers realize what  makes the orientation of a social entrepreneur different from  others who are doing great things around the world but have failed  to achieve significant impact. The book focuses not just on the  stories of heroes but on the rolling and rumbling change they  create, from the ground up and from the top down - on personal,  professional, and systemic levels. It is about change that happens  quietly, loudly and often simultaneously. Change that begins with  the end in mind and that demonstrates how and when empathy,  creativity, passion and persistence are combined; significant, life  altering progress is indeed possible.

    My number one goal in writing this book is to educate American pre-retirees and retirees on the extreme value of investing in an accumulation-based annuity. In this book, you will learn how you can eliminate the advisory fees that you pay on bonds that you may currently hold within your portfolio if you have a financial advisor. We will also discuss the metric power of a strategic bond replacement, the power of zero, and the current price-to-earnings ratio of bonds. 
A fixed indexed annuity can help you do the following with your wealth:Protect your money from market loss (fixed indexed annuities offered by highly rated annuity carriers did not lose a dime in account value in 2008 or 2009 during the worldwide recession caused by the mortgage loan crisis that resulted in the S&P 500 losing 50.1 percent of its value from March 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009)Grow your money with market-like gains (typical annual growth of five to seven-plus percent)Generate a lifetime income (your retirement will likely last 30+ years; it might be a good idea to place some of your assets into a fixed indexed annuity to set a “safety net” around a portion of the retirement income that you wish to generate) Eliminate market risk associated with bonds by replacing the fixed-income bonds in your portfolio with a fixed indexed annuityEliminate the advisory fees you are likely currently paying to generate fixed income with bonds in your portfolio by replacing them with fixed indexed annuities (the annuity companies pay the advisor, you don’t. This is called a bond replacement)  
If the above benefits sound appealing to you, then I invite you to explore the rest of this book and ultimately invest a portion of your hard-earned wealth into a fixed indexed annuity to build a successful retirement.
