  Capitalism Unveiled -...

  Capitalism is one of the most influential and widely practiced economic systems in the world today. Rooted in the principles of private ownership and free enterprise, it has shaped modern societies and economies for centuries. At its core, capitalism is an economic system where individuals and businesses own and operate the means of production and distribution of goods and services. This ownership is driven by the pursuit of profit, incentivizing innovation, efficiency, and productivity. 
  The origins of capitalism can be traced back to the decline of feudalism in Europe during the late Middle Ages. As trade expanded and markets grew, the need for a more flexible and dynamic economic structure became apparent. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries played a pivotal role in solidifying capitalism as the dominant economic system, introducing mass production and new technologies that revolutionized industries. 
  The free market is the cornerstone of capitalism. It operates on the principle of supply and demand, where prices are determined by the interaction of buyers and sellers. This self-regulating mechanism, famously referred to as the "invisible hand" by economist Adam Smith, ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and goods are produced in response to consumer needs. Competition among businesses fosters innovation, lowers prices, and improves quality, benefiting consumers and driving economic progress.

  A groundbreaking redefinition of what it means to be healthy that introduces the need for social health—the part of wellbeing that comes from feeling connected—to truly flourish. 
  Exercise. Eat a balanced diet. Go to therapy. Most wellness advice is focused on achieving and maintaining good physical and mental health. But Harvard-trained social scientist and pioneering social health expert Kasley Killam reveals that this approach is missing a vital component: human connection. 
  Relationships not only make us happier, but also are critical to our overall health and longevity. Research shows that people with a strong sense of belonging are 2.6 times more likely to report good or excellent health. Perhaps even more astonishingly, people who lack social support are up to 53% more likely to die from any cause. Yet social health has been overlooked and underappreciated—until now. 
  Just as we exercise our physical muscles, we can strengthen our social muscles. Weaving together cutting-edge science, mindset shifts, and practical wisdom, Killam offers the first methodology for how to be socially healthy. An antidote to the loneliness epidemic and an inspiring manifesto for seeing wellbeing as not only physical and mental, but also social, The Art and Science of Connection is a handbook for thriving. 
  In this essential book, you will:Learn a simple yet powerful framework to understand, evaluate, and bolster your social health.Discover the exact strategy or habit you need, as well as research-backed tips, to cultivate and sustain meaningful connection now and throughout your life.Glean actionable insights to develop a sense of community in your neighborhood, at work, and online from a spirited group of neighbors in Paris, the CEO of a major healthcare company, and an artificially intelligent chatbot.Get an insider look at the innovative ways that doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, architects, government leaders, and everyday people are catalyzing a movement toward a more socially healthy society. 
  The Art and Science of Connection will transform the way you think about each interaction with a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor, and give you the tools you need to live a more connected and healthy life—whether you are an introvert or extrovert, if you feel stretched thin, and no matter your age or background. Along the way, Killam will reveal how a university student, a newlywed, a working professional, and a retired widow overcame challenges to thrive through connection—and how you can, too. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
