How to be a capitalist without any capital : the four rules you must break to get rich / by Latka, Nathan,author.(CARDINAL)805139;

"At nineteen, I founded a software company with $119 in my bank account. Five years later, it was valued at $10.5 million. I don't consider myself exceptionally brilliant. I just realized something few people know: You don't need lots of money or an original idea to get really rich. Now, I make more than $100,000 in passive income every month, while also running my own private equity firm and hosting The Top Entrepreneurs podcast, which has more than 10 million downloads. This book will show you how I went from college dropout to member of the New Rich. And I'm holding nothing back. You'll see my tax returns, my profit and loss statements, my email negotiations when buying and selling companies. It's time to forget your grandfather's advice. I'll teach you how to be a modern opportunist--investor, entrepreneur, or side hustler--by breaking these four golden rules of the old guard: 1. Focus on one skill: Wrong. Don't cultivate one great skill to get ahead. In today's business world, success goes to the multitaskers. 2. Be unique: Wrong. The way to get rich is not by launching a new idea but by aggressively copying others and then adding your own twist. 3. Focus on one goal: Wrong. Focus instead on creating a system to produce the outcome you want, not just once, but over and over again. 4. Appeal to the masses: Wrong. The masses are broke ($4k average net worth in America?). Let others cut a trail through the jungle so you can peacefully walk in and capitalize on their hard work. By rejecting these defunct rules and following my unconventional path, you can copy other people's ideas shamelessly, bootstrap a start-up with almost no funding, invest in small local businesses for huge payoffs, and reap all the benefits"--"You don't need to be Ivy League educated, have money, be creative, or even have an idea to get rich.

The hidden history of American democracy : rediscovering humanity's ancient way of living / by Hartmann, Thom,1951-author.(CARDINAL)265942;

"America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann paves the way to saving our democracy. In this powerful, sweeping history and analysis of American democracy, Thom Hartmann shows how democracy is the one form of governance most likely to produce peace and happiness among people. With the violent exception of the Civil War, American democracy resisted the pressure to disintegrate into factionalism for nearly two centuries, and now our very system of democratic elections is at stake. So how do we save our democracy? Hartmann's newest book in the celebrated Hidden History Series offers a clear call to action and a set of solutions with road maps for individuals and communities to follow to create a safer, more just society and a more equitable and prosperous economy"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Some Founders thought their "enlightenment" came from Rousseau -- Ancient ways -- Trial and error -- They were citing Native Americans? -- Ben Franklin's Enlightenment -- Native Americans changed the world! -- The secular origin of America -- A nation is birthed -- The Electoral College -- The Supreme Court -- The Founders wanted us to have lots of guns to shoot at "tyrannical politicians"? -- Three "equal" branches of government -- The Senate was intended as a democratic institution -- Did rich white guys create the United States just to guarantee their own privilege, power, and slaves? -- How rich is rich? -- The "rich white guys" hypothesis crumbles -- So what did motivate the Framers of the Constitution? -- How political and economic systems interact -- Democracy's modern crisis -- The modern war on democracy and regulated capitalism -- Make voting a right instead of a privilege -- "Regulate" the Supreme Court -- Expand the Senate -- Free high-quality public education for all -- through college -- Provide healthcare for all -- Support organized labor or organize your workplace -- Use tariffs and trade policy to balance labor's playing field -- Bring back the middle class by restoring the tax laws that created it -- Keep Social Security out of corporate hands -- Clean environment and healthy public lands -- Strengthen the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and break up monopolies -- Bust up the media conglomerates and restore a robust free press -- Make the revolving door between industry and regulatory agencies illegal -- Use tax incentives and grants to jump-start alternative energy -- Human rights are for humans, not for "aggregated capital" -- Keep Church and State separate -- Make the US more democratic in its elections : set limits on campaign spending; consider public funding -- Institute "instant runoff" voting, to make minority parties viable -- Abolish the Electoral College -- Get Involved!

Capitalist punishment : how Wall Street is using your money to create a country you didn't vote for / by Ramaswamy, Vivek,author.;

Includes bibliographical references.A Wall Street cartel has quietly seized control of the American economy, and they are forcing governments and businesses to bow down to their political agenda--using your money to do it. Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn't even theirs. These asset managers have accumulated all their power through "passive funds," as most investors no longer believe anyone can reliably pick stocks. Yet the Big Three have decided that they can reliably pick the right social policies instead. As entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy reveals, the results are all bad--and working their way into every corner of the economy. They force US companies to adopt "racial equity audits" and "emissions caps" while supporting human rights atrocities in China. They coerce Western companies to produce less oil while shifting production to dirtier places like Russia. They allow companies like FTX to take victory laps on good management while collapsing like a house of cards. They charge high fees to mom-and-pop investors for so-called sustainable funds that are effectively identical to lower-fee index funds. Worst of all, they're celebrated as heroes--at least so far. Capitalist Punishment lifts the veil on the largest fiduciary breaches, antitrust abuses, and First Amendment violations of the twenty-first century, misdeeds that are hiding in plain sight. This isn't just a threat to capitalism. It's a threat to democratic self-governance itself. Capitalist Punishment is an easy-to-follow educational tour de force for every participant in financial markets--which, to the surprise of most Americans, includes nearly every single one of them.

Director of photography, Barry Ackroyd ; editors, Bob Murawski, Chris Innis ; music, Marco Beltrami, Buck Sanders.Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Evangeline Lilly, Christian Camargo, Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Guy Pearce.US Army Staff Sergeant Will James, Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When he arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment, and it will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with their new leader. James' thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the books: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of who may be bombers themselves.Blu-ray Disc; Region A; anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1) presentation; DTS-HD master audio, 2.0 Dolby surround, Dolby Digital 5.1; 1080p High Definition; dual layer.This Blu-ray Disc will not play in standard DVD players.
