People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of DiscontentWe all have the sense that the American economy and its government tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire.

We all have the sense that the American economy--and its government--tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.

Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.

Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us--the U.S. citizens--and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.

An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

Zero stars smells like chicken bullion maybe I got a bad one
Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My husband even commented on the smell when he kissed me goodnight after I put this on, thinking I was crazy for thinking it smelled horrible. In the pictures online it shows it a clearish pink hue even in large puddles in their marketing. One pump of this comes out a gross cloudy salmon orange color, nothing like the picture. Maybe a bad batch?

Definitely worth a try
Scent: Red Effect Serum, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Absorbs well without leaving any sticky feel. I’ve noticed that my skin has better evenness and smoother texture. Starting to see less fine lines and a more hydrated and tightened complexion.
