Most people think they have a pretty good handle on the answers to their questions. Nevertheless, they have to be asked. Blood and Circuses has been a technique to keep the masses in line for centuries. The Romans did it with gladiator fights and death by lions to distract the average people from noticing that they were being screwed. Leaders are a lot sneakier now. They do it with reality TV. The over-riding answer to most problems is that humans are way less than perfect; and that's putting it mildly. As of 2010 there were more than 100 million people in some kind of federal welfare program, 64 million on Social Security, 54 million on Medicare and 70 million on Medicaid. Food ...

As prevalent as “Wall Street greed” is, and as nasty and evil as most in the industry are (just like the rest of us), nothing has changed over time. Wall Street is always greedy, only with the means to do something about it. The rich getting more than their fair share is nothing new, it's been going on since the beginning of time.

These are but some of the questions explored in this book of readings on different cases as well as dimensions of, imperialism, as a glob ...

Which is worse? That we are becoming a second class society, or that the wealth gap is larger than at any time in history? Other countries are not the enemy, the rich and powerful in all countries are. In today's world of instant communication the information is readily available that says the average person is being left out. How come we allow it? Is it that we don’t care, or that we don’t know how to fight it? Like lambs to the slaughter we just keep taking the unfairness. Why isn’t there blood in the streets? Inequality is one of those festering time bombs that lead to unrest and eventually someone getting hurt. Apparently that’s what it will take to rectify the situation.

But tough to understand. This book attempts to make things a little clearer and offer a few solutions to this critical and confusing business phenomena In the United States, there are millions of people who have worked hard all their lives, scrimped, saved, and invested to build a nest egg—to ensure a decent retirement.
