Summary

South Africa stands at the edge of a precipice. Almost thirty years after its first democratic election, poor policy and rampant corruption have left the country standing on the brink of becoming a failed state.
In this thought-provoking book, Bronwyn Williams and Ludwig Raal interview a diverse group of public intellectuals, business leaders and political mavericks to discuss tangible ways South Africa can rescue itself from itself. Through a series of illuminating conversations, a group of independent thinkers explore the root causes of South Africa's problems and offer insightful and radical ways to solve them.
From addressing land reform and economic development to rooting out corruption and overhauling political institutions, the conversations in this book come together as a roadmap towards a better South Africa that leaves no one behind. While the challenges facing the young democracy are immense, these experts provide hope and inspiration towards productive actions that we can take together to build a brighter future.
For anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing South Africa today and how they can be addressed, Rescuing Our Republic is essential reading. It is a powerful reminder that the fate of a nation is not predetermined; that individuals, citizens and corporations still have powerful agency and that when that agency is directed towards the right ideas and actions, South Africa can still realise its full potential.

    Secrets of the Millionaire Mind reveals the missing link between wanting success and achieving it! 
    Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments? 
    The shocking answer is: None of the above! 
    In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: “Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!” Eker does this by identifying your “money and success blueprint.” We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiations, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money—and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success. 
    Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is two books in one. Part I explains how your money blueprint works. Through Eker’s rare combination of street smarts, humor, and heart, you will learn how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny. You will also learn how to identify your own money blueprint and “revise” it to not only create success but, more important, to keep and continually grow it. 
    In Part II you will be introduced to seventeen “Wealth Files,” which describe exactly how rich people think and act differently than most poor and middle-class people. Each Wealth File includes action steps for you to practice in the real world in order to dramatically increase your income and accumulate wealth. 
    If you are not doing as well financially as you would like, you will have to change your money blueprint. Unfortunately your current money blueprint will tend to stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify and revise it, and that’s exactly what you will do with the help of this extraordinary book. According to T. Harv Eker, it’s simple. If you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you’ll get rich too!

    There is a huge racial wealth gap in America today. Owning a business is one of the best ways to build wealth—but entrepreneurs need capital. And investing in Black companies is obstructed by systemic racism and implicit biases that continue to create barriers to success. 
     
     
     
    Merging historical information and data, along with tactical examples and explanations, this practical guide shows us what needs to be done in order to change the way we support Black companies and how we think about wealth. 
     
     
     
    Norwood calls for investors to move away from extractive, individualistic, exploitative approaches to capital and entrepreneurship. She asks us to move toward transformational, restorative, regenerative, and interdependent relationships to repair the impacts of systemic racism. Investors, large and small, need to say to Black business owners, "we believe in you." 
     
     
     
    With an entrepreneur-centric approach, Believe-In-You Money challenges the system failure surrounding Black companies. It's a guide on how Black entrepreneurs can be supported in sustainable ways and offers a shift in the way we think about who can be an investor, while aiming to change our personal relationships with money.

    Neoliberalism Unveiled -...

    Neoliberalism is a term that has been widely used in academic, political, and economic discussions, yet its exact definition often varies depending on the context. Broadly, neoliberalism refers to a set of economic and political policies that emphasize the role of free markets in achieving economic prosperity, social well-being, and individual freedom. At its core, neoliberalism promotes the idea that markets should operate with minimal interference from the state, and that individuals should be free to pursue their economic interests without governmental restrictions. 
    The roots of neoliberalism can be traced back to the early 20th century, particularly to the ideas of economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. These thinkers were critical of state intervention in the economy and argued that government control of markets often led to inefficiency and loss of individual freedoms. Hayek’s influential work, The Road to Serfdom (1944), warned against the dangers of central planning and collectivism, which he believed could lead to authoritarianism. Similarly, Friedman, through his advocacy for monetarism and the reduction of government spending, pushed for policies that emphasized the importance of individual choice and market forces over state control. Their ideas laid the intellectual foundation for what would later become neoliberalism. 
    Neoliberalism as a political and economic force began to take shape during the 1970s as many Western economies faced economic stagnation and rising inflation, often referred to as stagflation. Traditional Keynesian approaches, which advocated for government intervention to manage demand and stabilize economies, appeared to fail in addressing these new challenges. In response, neoliberal ideas gained traction, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom.
