A maverick economist explains how protectionism makes nations rich, free trade keeps them poor---and how rich countries make sure to keep it that way. Throughout history, some combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment has driven successful development everywhere from Renaissance Italy to the modern Far East. Yet despite the demonstrable success of this approach, development economists largely ignore it and insist instead on the importance of free trade. Somehow, the thing that made rich nations rich supposedly won't work on poor countries anymore. Leading heterodox economist Erik Reinert's invigorating history of economic development shows how Western economies were founded on protectionism and state activism and only later promoted free trade, when it worked to their advantage. In the tug-of-war between the gospel of government intervention and free-market purists, the issue is not that one is more correct, but that the winning nation tends to favor whatever benefits them most. As Western countries begin to sense that the rules of the game they set were rigged, Reinert's classic book gains new urgency. His unique and edifying approach to the history of economic development is critical reading for anyone who wants to understand how we got here and what to do next, especially now that we aren't so sure we'll be the winners anymore.

What if there were a way to cut through all the financial mumbo-jumbo? Wouldn't it be great if someone could really explain to us-in plain and simple English-the basics we must know about investing in order to insure our financial freedom? At last, here's good news. Jargon-free and written for all investors-experienced, beginner, and everyone in between-The Investment Answer distills the process into just five decisions-five straightforward choices that can lead to safe and sound ways to manage your money. When Wall Street veteran Gordon Murray told his good friend and financial advisor, Dan Goldie, that he had only six months to live, Dan responded, "Do you want to write that book you've always wanted to do?" The result is this eminently valuable primer which can be read and understood in one sitting, and has advice that benefits you, not Wall Street and the rest of the traditional financial services industry. The Investment Answer asks readers to make five basic but key decisions to stack the investment odds in their favor. The advice is simple, easy-to-follow, and effective, and can lead to a more profitable portfolio for every investor. Specifically: Should I invest on my own or seek help from an investment professional? How should I allocate my investments among stocks, bonds, and cash? Which specific asset classes within these broad categories should I include in my portfolio? Should I take an actively managed approach to investing, or follow a passive alternative? When should I sell assets and when should I buy more? In a world of fast-talking traders who believe that they can game the system and a market characterized by instability, this extraordinary and timely book offers guidance every investor should have.

Uncover the secret to financial success with advice from self-made millionaire Felix Dennis. Felix Dennis is an expert at proving people wrong. Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process. How to Get Rich is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn’t selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He merely wants to help people embrace entrepreneurship, and to share lessons he learned the hard way. He reveals, for example, why a regular paycheck is like crack cocaine; why great ideas are vastly overrated; and why “ownership isn't the important thing, it’s the only thing.”

Most people don't realize they already possess the Life Assets of the rich. If used correctly these Life Assets become Superpowers that create massive change in every aspect of your life. This book will teach you how to harness and leverage your superpowers for constant growth, abundance, opportunity, and financial freedom. If you truly desire lasting financial success, then owning your Life Assets is not an option, it is a necessity.

My Financial Freedom Challenge #FFChallenge was featured in many newspapers and the BBC Six O'Clock News. Here is how one journalist, Phil Shanahan, told the story: "Without a penny to invest, young multi-millionaire property investor Samuel Leeds set off on an extraordinary undercover mission to prove he could become financially free again from scratch. Samuel left home in an old banger and headed for a hotel which had been pre-booked for him in an unfamiliar city. He had to make money by the end of the week or face eviction.Wearing a black wig and fake glasses, Samuel took on the alias of Lucas Ruby. He was denied access to his funds and could only deal with strangers. It was no stroll in the park and he was thrown out of a networking event when his cover was blown. But within seven days of arriving in Sheffield the 27-year-old entrepreneur had made an incredible £8,000 from selling property deals. He immediately invested the money in two city centre apartments generating a monthly rental profit of up to £2,650. On his return to Staffordshire, he stopped off at a homeless charity in Manchester to donate a £2,000 surplus from the challenge.By adopting the same strategies he preaches to thousands of students each year, the property tycoon proved beyond doubt that knowledge is key to becoming financially independent. A YouTube video on the Financial Freedom Challenge attracted half a million views in a fortnight.In this concise book Samuel Leeds explains in clear steps how he gained financial freedom in a week - and how you can too!"
