Summary

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
 
"For anyone who wants to understand capitalism not as economists or politicians have pictured it but as it actually operates, this book will be invaluable."-Observer (UK) 
 
 If you've wondered how we did not see the economic collapse coming, Ha-Joon Chang knows the answer: We didn't ask what they didn't tell us about capitalism. This is a lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of neoliberal economists-the apostles of the freemarket-have spun since the Age of Reagan. 
 
Chang, the author of the international bestseller Bad Samaritans, is one of the world's most respected economists, a voice of sanity-and wit-in the tradition of John Kenneth Galbraith and Joseph Stiglitz. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism equips readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works-and doesn't. In his final chapter, "How to Rebuild the World," Chang offers a vision of how we can shape capitalism to humane ends, instead of becoming slaves of the market.
Available since: 01/02/2012.

    In "Democratizing Artificial Intelligence to Benefit Everyone", Dr Jacques Ludik takes us not only on a holistic sense-making journey and lays a foundation to synthesize a more balanced view and better understanding of AI, its applications, its benefits, its risks, its limitations, its progress, and its likely future paths, but also taps into his wealth of experience, knowledge, and sense-making ability as a smart technology entrepreneur with a PhD in AI, founder of multiple AI companies and three decades of experience in AI and its applications world-wide. The book helps us to more accurately understand where we are heading given the current dynamics on a global and national economic and political level as well as across ideologies and industries. Specific solutions are also shared to address AI’s potential negative impacts, designing AI for social good and beneficial outcomes, building human-compatible AI that is ethical and trustworthy, addressing bias and discrimination, and the skills and competencies needed for a human-centric AI-driven workplace. Dr Ludik is specifically arguing for a more decentralized beneficial human-centric future where AI and its benefits can be democratized to as many people as possible. He specifically examines what it means to be human and living meaningfully in the 21st century and shares some ideas for reshaping our civilization for beneficial outcomes as well as various potential outcomes for the future of civilization. Dr Jacques Ludik also proposes a Massive Transformative Purpose for Humanity and associated goals that complement the United Nations’ 2030 vision and sustainable development goals to help shape a beneficial human-centric future in a decentralized hyperconnected world. As a practical step, he also invites people to participate in the development, deployment and use of a decentralized, human-centric, and user-controlled AI-driven super platform called Sapiens.

    “The man that believes he will commit to any task based on how he feels is a habitual liar, for he lies to himself hoping to someday believe it.” 
  
They say the truth hurts, but as surgery is also painful; it is needed for specific dilemmas. “Valor” was constructed for surgically removing qualities that don’t serve a significant purpose to the man of today. In the world that we live in today, it is no secret that valor is lacking in the man of our age. With technological advancements and many other societal aspects, many men believe that there are fewer reasons to bare valor than ever before. By acquiring “Valor”, one could gain the edge that they need on their competition & the ability to fight for those that they love and respect. In “Valor”, I will lead you through a series of 7 different assertions. 
·       What Valor is 
·       How to gain Valor 
·       What Valor allows one to do 
·       Why Valor is needed 
·       What life is like for those with Valor 
·       The origins of Valor 
·       How to remain Valiant in challenging situations 
 People need valor today, people today need your valor. Be valiant… get “Valor”
