Economic Facts and Fallacies (Author: Thomas Sowell)

ClearSEM — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 15:54:10 +0000

Economic Facts and Fallacies exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues-and does so in a lively manner and without requiring any prior knowledge of economics by the reader. These include many beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians, such as mistaken ideas about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, as well as economics fallacies about academia, about race, and about Third World countries. One of the themes of Economic Facts and Fallacies is that fallacies are not simply crazy ideas but in fact have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying power-and makes careful examination of their flaws both necessary and important, as well as sometimes humorous. Written in the easy-to-follow style of the author’s Basic Economics, this latest book is able to go into greater depth, with real world examples, on specific issues.

Black Rednecks and White Liberals (Author: Thomas Sowell)

ClearSEM — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 15:54:09 +0000

This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on not only the trendy intellectuals of our times but also such historic interpreters of American life as Alexis de Tocqueville and Frederick Law Olmsted. In a series of long essays, this book presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous actions, policies, and trends. It presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen as a unique black identity–a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves “friends” of blacks. An essay titled “The Real History of Slavery” presents a jolting re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted way it is too often seen today. The reasons for the venomous hatred of Jews, and of other groups like them in countries around the world, are explored in an essay that asks, “Are Jews Generic?” Misconceptions of German history in general, and of the Nazi era in particular, are also re-examined. So too are the inspiring achievements and painful tragedies of black education in the United States. “Black Rednecks and White Liberals” is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.

“Michael has written a must-read book for anyone who wants to quit their job with real estate investing. Read this book, and learn from one of the best…” -Ken McElroy, Principal of the MC Companies, Best-Selling Author of “The ABCs of Real Estate Investing”, International Speaker and Real Estate Advisor to Robert Kiyosaki. Discover the (surprising) secret to lifelong financial freedom with real estate investing Real estate has always been a powerful tool for investing, and many people believe that a single-family home investment strategy will help them achieve their goals. However, the true path to financial freedom using real estate is found in apartment buildings. Real estate investing expert and author Michael Blank learned that once investors did their first deal, the curious “Law of the First Deal” led to the second and third deals in rapid succession. Most were able to quit their jobs within 3-5 years of getting started. Of course, when most people hear “apartment buildings” they immediately assume they need years of investing experience and money saved up to be able get into the game. This simply isn’t true. Michael has compiled the results of his research into his new book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint to Quitting Your Job with Real Estate – Even without Experience or Cash. He’s outlined the “Financial Freedom Blueprint” that guides you through your first multifamily deal, even if you have no prior experience or your own cash.

Pure White and Deadly How Sugar is Killing Us (Author: John Yudkin)

ClearSEM — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 15:54:07 +0000

Scientist John Yudkin was the first to sound the alarm about the excess of sugar in the diet of modern Americans. His classic exposé, Pure, White, and Deadly, clearly and engagingly describes how sugar is damaging our bodies, why we eat so much of it, and what we can do to stop. He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different types—is brown sugar really better than white?—to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is harming our health. In 1972, Yudkin was mostly ignored by the health industry and media, but the events of the last forty years have proven him spectacularly right. Yudkin’s insights are even more important and relevant now, with today’s record levels of obesity, than when they were first published. Brought up-to-date by childhood obesity expert Dr. Robert H. Lustig, this emphatic treatise on the hidden dangers of sugar is essential reading for anyone concerned about their health, the health of their children, and the wellbeing of modern society.
