American Dream Come True - Why...

Tony Bertoldi

What if there were one single way we could significantly improve the American economy, public health, and offer attractive investment opportunities, while also providing more homes for American families and workers?

The American Dream has always been built on the notion that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. For the past century, housing has played a major role in making the American Dream a reality for millions of individuals. In short, the availability of affordable housing stands at the crossroads of capitalism and compassion.

In American Dream Come True, Tony Bertoldi leverages over two decades’ worth of experience in affordable housing to explain in clear and entertaining prose what affordable housing really is and who it impacts. Spoiler alert: all of us.

By debunking the common misconceptions about affordable housing, Bertoldi shows how supporting affordable housing is a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and where you fit in. From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shows how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community and to the health of the American economy.

If there is any truth to the phrase “home is where the heart is,” then the call to action for all of us is the same—to put our heart into creating more affordable homes. It’s good for individuals. Good for families. Good for health. Good for business. Good for America.

The Curious Case of Mike Lynch -...

Katie Prescott

Read by the author, Katie Prescott.A maverick outsider. An improbable life. An even more improbable death. Discover the real story of Mike Lynch, Britain’s enigmatic billionaire. From humble beginnings, Lynch rose to become one of the UK’s richest men, driving the development of his business Autonomy before selling it to Hewlett-Packard for more than £11bn in 2011. Famously abrasive and hard to read, he soon found himself embroiled in one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history, his reputation in tatters.After a vicious legal battle lasting more than a decade, a British judge found that Lynch had fiddled the accounts. A mere two years later, he was exonerated by a US jury, swerving jail for the rest of his days. Just as he was celebrating his freedom, this second chance at life was snatched away. Almost thirteen years to the day that the Autonomy–HP deal was signed, Lynch’s yacht, Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily, taking the lives of Lynch, his daughter and five others. Hours earlier, his co-defendant, Autonomy accountant Stephen Chamberlain, had been hit by a car in Cambridge and killed. The odds of the two deaths occurring together were estimated at four in one billion.Drawing on extensive research and exclusive access to key sources, award-winning Times journalist Katie Prescott forensically explores the life and death of this elusive maverick. Prescott takes us into a high-stakes world of corporate subterfuge and rivalries, zigzagging through the hallowed halls of Cambridge, across the frenzied streets of the City of London, and straight to the heart of Silicon Valley. A brilliant feat of investigative reporting, this is a tale where nothing is quite as it appears.-
