Could a Dramatic Shift In The Way The World Economy is Structured Make You Rich? How A Smarter Free Economics System Could Enrich All Individuals While Bringing Great Wealth to Nations. "Billions of people could have better lives if Tudela's principles were implemented." -Michael Strong, co-founder of Conscious Capitalism, lead author of Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems. "An essential book that every politician and every businessman should read as soon as possible. It is an instant classic." -Guy Milliere, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Gatestone Institute, New York. If you have ever asked yourself why some countries are wealthier than others, you'll find the final answer in A More Prosperous Planet, The New Formula for a Prosperous Global Economy. This book explains the simple formula along with the three vital elements that must be present for a nation to become wealthy, and why they must also be present for you to attain prosperity. Throughout the book, the reader is treated to a grand historical analysis where cause and effect are easy to spot. The result is an eye opening discovery that creates a profound understanding of the meaning of freedom, the current conditions of societies, and the path to more enlightened and robust economies. Readers will learn about: -The hidden driver of economic history and social revolutions: the force behind personal and entrepreneurial wealth creation success. -Why third-world countries, contrary to appearances, are today more backwards than 17th century England, and what could easily be done- to put them on the road to prosperity, growth, and success. -Why, perhaps most shockingly, a growing gap between the rich and the poor is needed for a country or an individual to grow and prosper. -What politicians don't want people to know about elections, votes, and the political process, and how it affects you. -The IMF, the World Bank, and the death of money: what should be known about them to protect and increase individual wealth. -Bitcoin, digital currencies, and the new world economics. -The simple formula for the wealth of countries and for your own prosperity.

Paul Collier's The Bottom Billion was greeted as groundbreaking when it appeared in 2007, winning the Estoril Distinguished Book Prize, the Arthur Ross Book Award, and the Lionel Gelber Prize. Now, in The Plundered Planet, Collier builds upon his renowned work on developing countries and the world's poorest populations to confront the global mismanagement of natural resources. Proper stewardship of natural assets and liabilities is a matter of planetary urgency: natural resources have the potential either to transform the poorest countries or to tear them apart, while the carbon emissions and agricultural follies of the developed world could further impoverish them. The Plundered Planet charts a course between unchecked profiteering on the one hand and environmental romanticism on the other to offer realistic and sustainable solutions to dauntingly complex issues. Grounded in a belief in the power of informed citizens, Collier proposes a series of international standards that would help poor countries rich in natural assets better manage those resources, policy changes that would raise world food supply, and a clear-headed approach to climate change that acknowledges the benefits of industrialization while addressing the need for alternatives to carbon trading. Revealing how all of these forces interconnect, The Plundered Planet charts a way forward to avoid the mismanagement of the natural world that threatens our future.

In 2013, a Dutch scientist unveiled the world’s first laboratory-created hamburger. Since then, the idea of producing meat, not from live animals but from carefully cultured tissues, has spread like wildfire through the media. Meanwhile, cultured meat researchers race against population growth and climate change in an effort to make sustainable protein. Meat Planet explores the quest to generate meat in the lab—a substance sometimes called “cultured meat”—and asks what it means to imagine that this is the future of food. Neither an advocate nor a critic of cultured meat, Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft spent five years researching the phenomenon. In Meat Planet, he reveals how debates about lab-grown meat reach beyond debates about food, examining the links between appetite, growth, and capitalism. Could satiating the growing appetite for meat actually lead to our undoing? Are we simply using one technology to undo the damage caused by another? Like all problems in our food system, the meat problem is not merely a problem of production. It is intrinsically social and political, and it demands that we examine questions of justice and desirable modes of living in a shared and finite world. Benjamin Wurgaft tells a story that could utterly transform the way we think of animals, the way we relate to farmland, the way we use water, and the way we think about population and our fragile ecosystem’s capacity to sustain life. He argues that even if cultured meat does not “succeed,” it functions—much like science fiction—as a crucial mirror that we can hold up to our contemporary fleshy dysfunctions.
