  Two million dollars. 
  That's how much money anyone under age 40 will need to accumulate to retire. That often means working 40-hour-weeks and penny-pinching your whole life. How else could you save a cool $2 mil? 
  Finance gurus, former financial advisors, and Amazon bestselling authors, Jason Miller and Robert McDonald has one goal in mind: teaching you everything you need to know to become financially free earlier than you ever thought possible. At age 27, Jason quit her job and retired, living off $10,000+ per month in passive income streams. Let her show you how to do it at any age—it's never too late. 
  What is passive income? Passive income is earned with little to no ongoing work. It's no get-rich-quick scheme, but once your passive income exceeds your expenses, you are set for life. 
  In a refreshingly realistic how-to guide, Jason and Robert serves tried and true passive income stream models, helping you to: 
     Achieve "Financial Independence, Retire Early" without penny-pinching 
     Create consistent, long-term residual income (the non-multi-level-marketing way), so you can live life on your terms 
     Have the flexibility to work when, where, and if you want 
     Say "goodbye" to your 9-5, and create a life you totally love 
     Eliminate your money stresses and fears. 
  Complete beginner or not, by the end of Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement, you'll know exactly what it takes and how to get started. Passive income is real and attainable for everyone, even you. Are you ready to join the movement?

  Beginning in the 1970s, several scientific breakthroughs promised to transform the creation of new medicines. As investors sought to capitalize on these Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, the biotech industry grew to thousands of small companies around the world. Each sought to emulate what the major pharmaceutical companies had been doing for a century or more, but without the advantages of scale, scope, experience, and massive resources.Biotech companies have met the challenge by creating nearly 40% more of the most important treatments for previously unmet medical needs. Moreover, they have done so with much lower overall costs.From Breakthrough to Blockbuster focuses on both the companies themselves and the broader biotech ecosystem that supports them. It paints a portrait of the crucial roles played by academic research, venture capital, contract research organizations, the capital markets, and pharmaceutical companies, demonstrating how a supportive environment enabled the entrepreneurial biotech industry to create novel medicines with unprecedented efficiency. In doing so, it also offers insights for any industry seeking to innovate in uncertain and ambiguous conditions.

  Technofeudalism - What Killed...

  In a revelatory and path breaking work, the #1 international bestselling economist opens our eyes to the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world. 
   
  “The Thucydides of our time.” —Jeffrey Sachs 
   
  Big tech has replaced capitalism's twin pillars—markets and profit—with its platforms and rents. With every click and scroll, we labor like serfs to increase its power.  
   
  Welcome to technofeudalism. 
   
  Perhaps we were too distracted by the pandemic, or the endless financial crises, or the rise of TikTok. But under cover of them all, a new and more exploitative system has been taking hold. Insane sums of money that were supposed to re-float our economies after the crash of 2008 went to big tech instead. With it they funded the construction of their private cloud fiefdoms and privatized the internet.  
   
  Technofeudalism says Yanis Varoufakis, is the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world, and is the greatest current threat to the liberal individual, to our efforts to avert climate catastrophe—and to democracy itself. It also lies behind the new geopolitical tensions, especially the New Cold War between the United States and China. 
   
  Drawing on stories from Greek myth and pop culture, from Homer to Mad Men, Varoufakis explains this revolutionary transformation: how it enslaves our minds, how it rewrites the rules of global power, and, ultimately, what it will take overthrow it.
