Acerca de esta escucha
In every crisis, there is an opportunity.
Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and supply-chain crisis. Puerto Rico, with over 70 years of critical manufacturing experience, is in an ideal position to lead this fight with the United States. Puerto Rico is also about to receive the largest allocation of federal relief funds in US history—over 80 billion dollars to construct thousands of homes, critical infrastructure, renewable energy, and other vital projects. In addition to relief funds, Puerto Rico has created a series of tax incentives to bring in new businesses and people to the island.
Act 20/22 (now Act 60) had the unintended consequence of attracting a new breed of entrepreneurs—blockchain and crypto investors. Suddenly, Puerto Rico finds itself in the middle of a technological revolution with thousands of people bringing new ideas, connections, and capital to the island. This money, however, will not last forever. Eventually, recovery aid and tax incentives will run out. And when they do, Puerto Rico's economy will need to be self-sufficient and resilient. New approaches are urgently needed to rebuild Puerto Rico for the long term and create an independent economic model that will last for generations.
In this book you will find historical insights from the past but more importantly new ideas for change. Some of these innovations will be easy to assimilate as incremental improvements to existing systems. Others may seem futuristic and will appear only with the advent of new technology.
Puerto Rico is moving forward...and the time is unquestionably now!

In Fantasy Island, Ed Morales traces how, over the years, Puerto Rico has served as a colonial satellite, a Cold War Caribbean showcase, a dumping ground for US manufactured goods, and a corporate tax shelter. He also shows how it has become a blank canvas for mercenary experiments in disaster capitalism on the frontlines of climate change, hamstrung by internal political corruption and the US federal government's prioritization of outside financial interests.

It is no secret that the world of property investment is rapidly changing. While the industry experienced a significant upturn in late 2020 through 2022, the current cost of living and global economic issues have meant that high profits are trickier to come by, and owning a property portfolio is slightly more complex than it once was.

Debtors have been mocked, scolded, and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We’ve been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: who would benefit?

In You Will Own Nothing¸ Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth.

Bestselling author and renowned economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin delivers the political narrative, technical framework, and economic plan for the debate now taking center stage across America. The concurrence of a stranded fossil fuel assets bubble and a green political vision opens up the possibility of a massive global paradigm shift into a post-carbon ecological era, hopefully in time to prevent a temperature rise that will tip us over the edge into runaway climate change.

Much ink has been spilled in recent years talking about political divides and inequality in the United States. But these discussions too often miss one of the most important factors in the divisions among Americans: the fundamentally unequal nature of the nation's housing systems. Increasingly, important life outcomes—performance in school, employment, even life expectancy—are determined by where people live and the quality of homes they live in. Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities.

China's economy has been booming for decades now. A formidable and emerging power on the world stage, the China that most Americans picture is only a rough sketch, based on American news coverage, policy, and ways of understanding. Enter Keyu Jin: a world-renowned economist and a professor at the London School of Economics. A person fluent in both Eastern and Western cultures, and a voice of the new generation of Chinese who represent a radical break from the past, Jin is uniquely poised to explain how China became the most successful economic story of our time.

China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic growth story of the last three decades. In the 1980s, China was an impoverished backwater, struggling to escape the political turmoil and economic mismanagement of the Mao era. Today it is the world's second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world's steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America.

Eswar Prasad explains the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live. Above all, Prasad foresees the end of physical cash. The driving force won't be phones or credit cards but rather central banks, spurred by the emergence of cryptocurrencies to develop their own, more stable digital currencies.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global best seller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.
