Beschreibung

After state capture, South Africa is f*cked not in a good place. The system is down. How do we reboot?

Our is not the first country to find itself in a difficult spot. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam and many others have gone from being economic basket cases to powerhouses, lifting millions out of poverty. So how can we pick ourselves up and fix things? In this book, Roy Havemann argues that right now we need to focus on six basic 'E's: Eskom, Education, Environment, Exports, Equality, and Ethics.

Havemann lays out how we can practically bring in lessons from other countries and learn from their achievements and mistakes, for example, how China, Greece and Colombia solved load-shedding, how different South American countries are dealing with inequality and how Brazil and Kenya are upgrading their education systems.
He shows that we are slowly moving in the right direction. Our own 'Operation Vulindlela' delivery unit, which is a joint initiative of the Presidency and the Treasury, is implementing change where it's needed but more can be done to accelerate reforms to make South Africa a success. Sometimes the solutions to our problems are right here in our very own country – all that is needed is for us to recognise and harness them.

    An entrepreneur’s journey—from his boyhood home far away to the intersection of destiny and innovation.Paul Owhadi set off from his childhood home in Iran to an austere French Jesuit boarding school thousands of miles away—at age four. It was just one stop on a lifelong journey of experiential learning, overcoming obstacles, and determination. With a confidence and curiosity distilled from his powers of observation and developing self-belief, he eventually made his way, after college in England, to New York City with less than $400 in his pocket and not knowing a soul. From there—as a first-generation American—adventure, misadventures, and a life of entrepreneurship awaited.After an education and a career in urban planning and city management, he took the extraordinary opportunity granted to him to explore the world of property development. Despite agonizing personal setbacks, including the tragic death of his business partner, Paul faced adversity with the lessons learned as both an ambitious, innovative immigrant and as a person whose mettle was formed as a child and later young man, far from home, a world away from his birthplace.Eventually, risking all on a new business proposition, Paul created a property and corporate empire that encompassed all he had learned in his entrepreneurship career—lessons of innovation learned from an improbable journey from a childhood a world away to the hard-won pinnacles of success.

    How do the rich keep getting richer, while dodging the long arm of the law? The ultra-rich seem to live in a different world from the rest of us. That world is called offshore. Hidden from view, the world's ultra-rich can use offshore finance to escape tax obligations, labor and environmental safety regulations, campaign finance rules, and other laws that get in their way. 
     
     
     
    In Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, sociologist Brooke Harrington reveals how this system works, as well as how it degrades democracy, the economy, and the public goods on which we all depend. Through interviews with dozens of wealth managers in nineteen countries, Harrington uncovered how this global network of offshore financial centers arose from the remnants of colonialism and has created a new, hidden imperial class. 
     
     
     
    This engrossing deep dive reveals what offshore finance costs all of us, and how it has colonized the world—not on behalf of any one country, but to benefit a largely invisible empire of a few thousand billionaires, who help themselves to the best society has to offer while sticking us with the bill. As politicians struggle to address the deepening economic and political inequality destabilizing the world, Harrington's exposé of the offshore system is a vital resource for understanding the most pressing crises of our time.

    A behind-the-scenes look at how digital surveillance is affecting the trucking way of life. 
     
     
     
    Long-haul truckers are the backbone of the American economy, transporting goods under grueling conditions and immense economic pressure. Truckers have long valued the independence of their work, sharing a strong occupational identity rooted in a tradition of autonomy. Yet these workers increasingly find themselves under many watchful eyes. Data Driven examines how digital surveillance is upending life and work on the open road, and raises crucial questions about the role of data collection in broader systems of social control. 
     
     
     
    Karen Levy takes listeners inside a world few ever see, painting a bracing portrait of one of the last great American frontiers. Federal regulations now require truckers to buy and install digital monitors that capture data about their locations and behaviors. Intended to address the pervasive problem of trucker fatigue by regulating the number of hours driven each day, these devices support additional surveillance by trucking firms and other companies. Traveling from industry trade shows to law offices and truck-stop bars, Levy reveals how these invasive technologies are reconfiguring industry relationships and providing new tools for managerial and legal control—and how truckers are challenging and resisting them.
