In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in the country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Pundits and politically motivated economists trumpet ambiguous statistics and sensational theories while ignoring the true determinant of income inequality: the production of wealth.

A MUST Read!!!
Revisado: 03-05-21
This is one of those books that will absolutely change your perspective on everything in life...in a good way! I love the way that Dr. Sowell analyzes sensitive subjects in a well thought out manner & uses cold hard facts in all of his rebuttals. The amount of knowledge that he's able to cram into this relatively short audiobook is genuinely astonishing. I have already listened to this treasure of a book 2x & plan on doing so several more times. THANK you sooo much for this amazing gem Dr. Sowell!

In 1950, after over 50 years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: Assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down. In order to suppress this uprising, the US Army deployed thousands of troops and bombarded two towns.

History of vital importance...
Revisado: 05-17-20
This book should be mandatory in all history, this is probably one the most important books I've ever read. If you're American, if you're PR'n or if you just tend to forget how absolutely easy & great our lives are in the 21st century. You must learn about this dark period in history...

As cyber attacks dominate front-page news, as hackers join the list of global threats, and as top generals warn of a coming cyber war, few books are more timely and enlightening than Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War by Slate columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Fred Kaplan.

Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time.

Revisado: 08-14-19
I've always had a special love for fashion & I already knew about the legendary Dapper Dan. So I was excited about this audiobook but mannn I didn't know the journey that was to come...You know a book is good when it brings out an array of emotions. While listening to this a.Bk. I cried, laughed like a hyena & found myself smiling from ear to ear. I genuinely appreciate the author's authenticity & tenacity in life. It's 1 of the best books I've listened to all year.

This book is worth it's weight in gold! Mr. Buffet is genuinely a very humble man & extraordinarily dedicated to continuously learning. He's a bookworm who devours literature on a daily basis. A truly gifted individual who inspires me to become a better investor & person.

Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. It is listenable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

Extremely Eye Opening Listen!
Revisado: 06-02-19
I'm soo glad that I forced myself to put my "Emotional Bias" to the side & listen to this great man's perspective on many different sensitive issues. He is truly able to dissect many complex subjects & engages the reader to think intellectually about them from all possible aspects. I will definitely be re listening to this many more times!

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.
