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.

The Demise of Mankind - A...

Truman Alexander

Please note: This content is for mature audiences only. It contains sobering language and graphic depiction of dysfunctional ways in which the world is run, as well as strong content and themes. Discretion is advised.A World of Trouble
Today the world is nose-deep in trouble; moral, ethical, social, political, and legal. How did we get here?
That is the right question to ask.
"What I Have Learned About the Demise of Mankind," is a not-so-fictional revelation of the key answers to that question. In this paradigm-shifting debut novel, Truman Alexander reveals the evil works of The Dark One on earth by exposing the Underworld's training manual for new devils, tempters, and dark angels.
Steve McCurdy's voice acting does the heavy lifting of the curiously unusual sentence structure specific to the Underworld Training Manual - clearly not written for mere mortals. Like an ice-cold schooner of crisp beer, it is authentic and refreshing with a possible chilling side-effect.
The book forces listeners to think about their own decisions. Excuses are taken away one-after-another. It immerses one into an introspective examination of life up until now. After this, it is impossible for an intelligent reader NOT to want to better his or her life.
"What I Have Learned About the Demise of Mankind," is a unique audiobook that reveals how we, the humans, have unwittingly collaborated with the Underworld to cut our own throats. We don't even feel the pain - until it is too late.
Understanding the problem is half the solution.
If you are completely satisfied with your life - you don't need this book.
If you are NOT satisfied - you can't LIVE without this book.
It is your life and your call....Or is it?

Mark Albion

The bestselling author “frames his advice in terms of compassionate, socially responsible leadership, though a lot of it is just plain good management” (Publishers Weekly).

How do you build the kind of company you’ve always wanted to work in—one that serves people and the planet while being financially successful, too?
