This Is What Inequality Looks Like

Teo You Yenn

Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
 
 
This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
 
What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
 
The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

“Sometimes, Less is More” - William Shakespeare
Studies have proven that once someone shares a goal or dream with someone else, they’re less likely to achieve it. The reason for that, is because everyone has their own opinions and opinions are the cheapest commodities. When you share something so personal to a negative person, his vibes will shake your strength and make you lose motivation and confidence. Make sense? You don’t have to feel troubled by others opinions. Your mind is stronger than that, and your opinion is what counts the most.

China's Rise and the New Age of...

Stephen Leeb, Donna Leeb

China's growing role in the global economy is showing no sign of retreat. Indeed, recent events have only increased China's influence—to the point where China is poised to edge out the United States and take the lead. For investors like you, this tectonic shift poses difficult challenges—along with tremendous opportunities.    In China's Rise and the New Age of Gold, one of the twenty-first century's top economic experts, Stephen Leeb, lays out his compelling argument that explosive gains in gold lie ahead. Gold's price will increase dramatically to as high as $20,000 an ounce. Investing in gold will be the best (and perhaps only) way to generate substantial investing profits in this decade and beyond. Leeb draws from his vast knowledge of macro-economic trends and current market conditions to explain China's plans to launch a new monetary system centered on gold, which will largely supplant the global dollar-based monetary system. And he provides you with the tools you need to invest in all things gold, including in gold itself, gold mutual funds and ETFs, and the right mining companies. This prescient guide to twenty-first-century investing delivers the knowledge and insight you need to draw unprecedented profits as China's rise truly launches a new age of gold.

What  Joe noticed was that these companies and their employees were  having a hard time getting clear, getting free, and getting going  in their professional as well as their personal lives.

GINI - Capitalism...

Ferris Eanfar

HUMANITY EVOLVES AT THE SPEED OF JUSTICE. This is a book about justice and the technologies, systems, and public policies that are necessary to achieve justice. Humanity's technology is evolving at an exponential rate, but our laws and cultural norms evolve at the speed of justice. The speed of justice is dictated by those who have the most financial and political power in a society. The more concentrated the power, the slower the justice. Indeed, justice can only exist when economic and political systems produce outcomes that maximize health, wealth and political freedom for the largest number of humans. By that measure, the speed of justice in many countries on Earth today is excruciatingly slow. In fact, it's not only slow; it's accelerating in reverse.
PRIVACY IS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT. All human rights depend on the right to privacy. Democracy cannot exist without protecting the human right to privacy because politicians and the corporations that finance their political campaigns inevitably use their wealth and power to spy, manipulate, and sabotage their political opponents. These assaults on democracy and human liberty are only possible when politicians and corporations are given the power to violate our human right to privacy. Gini protects your right to privacy.
FIXING A BROKEN SYSTEM. With such enormous economic and political power concentrated in the hands of less than 0.01% of Earth's corporations and less than 0.0000001% of Earth's human population, is it any surprise that economic and political systems worldwide are imploding, humanitarian crises are exploding, and 80% of the global population lives in poverty? Is this the free market that we learn about in college Economics textbooks and on mainstream financial news programs? All the problems discussed throughout this book are only possible when gigantic corporations and governments collude against the best interests of their citizens. This is the essence of broken capitalism and broken democracy on Earth today. Gini provides solutions.
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. Written by the best-selling author of Broken Capitalism: This Is How We Fix It, International Political Economy expert, cryptocurrency and A.I. architect, financial services professional, and former U.S. Government Intelligence operative, Ferris Eanfar. Tackling big questions about privacy, A.I., cryptocurrencies, taxes, economic freedom, and human rights, Mr. Eanfar provides unique and refreshing insights into the socioeconomic trends and technologies that are shaping the future of humanity and our global economy.
