  Fundraising - The Best Ways to...

  Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
  For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.

  The Hidden Wealth of Nations -...

  A “masterful” work that quantifies the cost of tax havens and large-scale tax evasion to ordinary citizens, and explores solutions to the problem (American Prospect). One much-discussed solution to the rapidly growing problem of economic inequality is to significantly increase the rate at which we tax the wealthy. But with an enormous amount of the world’s wealth hidden in tax havens—in countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands—this wealth cannot be fully accounted for and taxed fairly. No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world’s assets are currently hidden—until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world’s money held in tax havens. And it’s staggering. Fighting the notion that any attempts to vanquish tax havens are futile since some countries will always offer more advantageous tax rates than others, as well the counter-argument that tax havens have disappeared since the 2007–2008 global financial crisis, Zucman shows how both sides are actually very wrong. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations he offers an ambitious agenda for reform, focused on ways in which countries can change the incentives of tax havens. Only by first understanding the enormity of the secret wealth can we begin to estimate the kind of actions that would force tax havens to give up their practices. Zucman’s work has quickly become the gold standard for quantifying the amount of the world’s assets held in havens. In this concise book, he lays out in approachable language how the international banking system works and the dangerous extent to which the large-scale evasion of taxes is undermining the global market as a whole. If we are to find a way to solve the problem of increasing inequality, The Hidden Wealth of Nations is essential reading. “Unusually lucid and elegant prose—particularly for an economist—complemented by an admirable grasp of history. His review of the ways that efforts to combat tax evasion have stalled for the past century makes the book a worthwhile read in and of itself. . . . Zucman is still at the beginning of what promises to be a brilliant career.” ―The Atlantic

  Quebec’s political struggle for autonomy, independence, and the protection of its language, culture, and heritage is shrouded in ambiguity. Let us shed some light on the subject for you. 
  Why have the province’s linguistic and cultural tensions dragged on for nearly four hundred years? In what ways does it differ from the rest of Canada? Did indigenous peoples play a key role in shaping the province’s identity and culture? For what reasons did Quebec’s two sovereigntist referendums fail? And what was the Quiet Revolution?  
  The historic rivalry between Britain and France was an intense, long-standing geopolitical struggle. Relations between the empires cooled at the dawn of the modern age. Today, the nations are close allies, but the embers of Franco-Anglo strife still burn at the core of Quebec society. While Francophone nationalists stress the importance of enacting linguistic and cultural protection laws, Quebecois Anglophones and other non-Francophones claim to be increasingly marginalized by the laws and ideologies of a society ravaged by mass cultural anxiety.  
  So, what is the truth? This audiobook seeks to untangle the storied history and complexities of Canada’s rebel province. It attempts to make sense of how a province of one of the world’s most progressive countries continues to ignite conflict between its French- and English-speaking communities. 
  Some of what this audiobook examines includes the following: The early indigenous civilizations and their rapid transformations after establishing European contact;The rise of the cod and fur trade and the eventual integration of the Americas into European trade networks;
