Beschreibung

Dry Goods Trade explores the complex journey of traditional Himba products from remote Namibian communities to urban markets, examining the economic, social, and cultural implications of this trade. It highlights how the integration of Himba crafts into global markets, while offering economic opportunities, simultaneously poses risks to cultural heritage and social structures.

 
The book delves into the commodification of Himba culture, focusing on how "authenticity" is marketed and the challenges faced by Himba women at the forefront of this trade. The book offers a nuanced perspective on globalization's impact on indigenous communities, particularly the Himba people, whose traditional economy revolves around cattle herding and handcrafted goods.

 
It also investigates the sustainability of traditional production practices amidst market pressures, questioning the long-term viability of resource extraction. Through fieldwork and interviews, the book systematically analyzes these issues, starting with an introduction to the Himba and their economic practices, then tracing the journey of specific products to urban markets. The analysis progresses through marketing strategies, the roles of Himba women, and the environmental impacts, ultimately proposing strategies for fair trade and cultural preservation.

    The demand for inclusive workplaces is stronger than ever, with most employees seeking a sense of belonging and fairness at work. Yet traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies have faced backlash and stagnation, leaving organizations at a crossroads.Where common DEI initiatives have failed, this book instead offers a results-based, systems-focused, all-inclusive, and universally beneficial framework to help bring about real social change in the workplace. This can be achieved through the FAIR framework: Fairness—Promote equitable treatment by addressing systemic barriers and ensuring transparent, just practices for all. Access—Expand opportunities by removing obstacles and creating pathways for underserved and underrepresented groups. Inclusion—Foster a sense of belonging where diverse voices are valued, heard, and integrated into decision-making. Representation—Reflect the diversity of society at all levels, ensuring visibility and participation across demographics. 
    The DEI industrial complex failed to make real change through unchecked growth and performative practices, and far-right antagonists only offer regressive "solutions." With clarity, urgency, and practicality, Fixing Fairness offers a third option and charts a path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all.

    Ever wonder why poverty exists and how we could get rid of it? Here's your answer. 
    Darryl Finkton, Jr. is a hedge fund manager turned community organizer. Raised in poverty, Darryl went on to graduate from Harvard College and the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. In “End Poverty. Make Trillions.” Darryl shares how he rose from rags to riches, and how we can ensure everyone has an opportunity to generate wealth. 
    A Surprisingly Simple Plan for Ending Poverty–and Making Trillions of Dollars for Ourselves While We Do It 
    Poverty costs the United States more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple. 
    It’s SO SIMPLE. 
    To have lives of dignity and purpose and contribute meaningfully to our capitalist economy, America’s poor people do not need the rest of us to feed or shelter them. They don’t need us to derail our lives to take care of them or even think about them all that much. 
    They need MONEY.
