Summary, Analysis & Review of Gary Taubes’s The Case Against Sugar by Instaread
 
Preview:
 
The Case Against Sugar argues that sugar is a toxic substance responsible for a wide array of health problems including diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Author Gary Taubes recounts the history of how sugar came to be cultivated and ultimately refined into the cheap, ubiquitous substance that is eaten globally today. He takes on the American sugar industry for its role in perpetuating faulty science that hid the true dangers of the substance.
 
Sugar—and a lot of it—is contained in most of the foods that Americans eat every day without even realizing it. Seemingly innocuous foodstuffs like flour are combined with sugar to accommodate an American palate that now craves a high baseline level of sweetness. Even items that are not commonly associated with sugar include the substance to enhance their flavor and make them more appealing. The rise of cigarette addiction can be attributed to the addition…

    “The best book ever written on human trafficking for sexual exploitation”—the basis for the feature film, Trafficked, starring Ashley Judd (Kevin Bales, president of Free the Slaves).   Every year, hundreds of thousands of women and children are abducted, deceived, seduced, or sold into forced prostitution. These trafficked sex slaves form the backbone of one of the world’s most profitable illicit enterprises and generate huge profits for their exploiters, for unlike narcotics, which must be grown, harvested, refined, and packaged, sex slaves require no such “processing,” and can be repeatedly “consumed.” In this book, Kara provides a riveting account of his four-continent journey into this unconscionable industry, sharing the moving stories of its victims and revealing the shocking conditions of their exploitation. He draws on his background in finance, economics, and law to provide the first ever business analysis of contemporary slavery worldwide, focusing on its most profitable and barbaric form: sex trafficking. Kara describes the local factors and global economic forces that gave rise to this and other forms of modern slavery over the past two decades and quantifies, for the first time, the size, growth, and profitability of each industry. Finally, he identifies the sectors of the sex trafficking industry that would be hardest hit by specifically designed interventions and recommends the specific legal, tactical, and policy measures that would target these vulnerable sectors and help to abolish this form of slavery, once and for all.The author will donate a portion of the proceeds of this book to the anti-slavery organization, Free the Slaves.   “Sex trafficking is more of a problem than most people realize. Read this well-written book and find out.”—Kirk Douglas

    Leadership is a learned skill. 
    No one is a "natural-born leader." Babies aren't given a manual on how to be a leader. Leadership is learned from others. 
    So how will we teach eager distributors to become leaders? By showing, participating, experiencing ... and of course, sharing stories. Yes, they could imitate us to become leaders, but not everyone is created the same, with the same set of skills or advantages. So there must be common lessons everyone can learn for leadership. 
    Inside this book you will find many ways to change people's viewpoints, to change their beliefs, and to reprogram their actions. And when these three things change, the results will naturally change too.  
    Building leaders in your organization is the best investment in financial security you can make. The return on your investment is paid over and over again. And the earnings from developing one good leader could dwarf the monthly payout of almost any retirement plan. 
    Build your network marketing business faster, now.

    From a Nobel Laureate economist, essays on classical liberalism as illustrated by the Austrian school of political economy. The Reagan and Thatcher “revolutions.” The collapse of Eastern Europe dramatically captured in the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. F. A. Hayek, “grand old man of capitalism” and founder of the classical liberal, free-market revival which ignited and inspired these world events, forcefully predicted their occurrence in writings such as The Road to Serfdom, first published in 1944. Hayek’s well-known social and political philosophy—in particular his long-held pessimistic view of the prospects of socialism, irrefutably vindicated by the collapse of the Eastern bloc—is fully grounded in the Austrian approach to economics. In this collection, Hayek traces his intellectual roots to the Austrian school, the century-old tradition founded at the University of Vienna by Carl Menger, and links it to the modern rebirth of classical liberal or libertarian thought. As Hayek reminds us, the cornerstone of modern economics—the theory of value and price—”represents a consistent continuation of the fundamental principles handed down by the Vienna school.” Here, in this first modern collection of essays on the Austrian school by one of its preeminent figures, is the genesis of this tradition and its place in intellectual history. Two hitherto unavailable memoirs, “The Economics of the 1920s as Seen from Vienna,” published here for the first time, and “The Rediscovery of Freedom: Personal Recollections,” available for the first time in English, make this collection invaluable for Hayek scholars.
