Social Help

A Culturematic is a little machine for making culture. It’s an ingenuity engine. The Culturematic acts as a probe into the often-alien world of contemporary culture, to test the atmosphere, to see what life it can sustain, to see who responds and how. Culturematics start small but can scale up ferociously, bootstrapping themselves as they go. Because they are so inexpensive, we can afford to fire off a multitude of them simultaneously. This is evolutionary strategy, iterative innovation, and rapid prototyping all at once.

Currently, there are an estimated 1.5 to 2 million Americans under court control, but precise figures are not known as no government entity keeps track of citizens who have lost the right to determine their own fate.

În Statele Unite se dă un război împotriva capitalismului. Din păcate, majoritatea oamenilor nu cunosc diferența dintre socialism, comunism și capitalism. Acesta este rolul Manifestului capitalist: să educe, să clarifice și să exemplifice, pornind de la premisa că educația financiară în școli este crucială și indispensabilă. Cum să știm să deosebim comuniștii de capitaliști dacă nu am învățat despre bani? Cum putem face diferența între un capitalist, un socialist, un fascist, un marxist sau un comunist, atâta timp cât aceste filozofii socioeconomice nu sunt studiate?

Rapoartele aveau la origine niște articole publicate de Proiectul pentru Raportarea Crimei Organizate și Corupției (OCCRP), un consorțiu neobosit și neînfricat de jurnaliști din toată Europa de Est, care au expus două așa-numite „spălătorii" – scheme sofisticate de spălare a miliarde de euro. În ambele cazuri, infractorii se foloseau de companii britanice fictive pentru a-și ascunde identitatea și de Danske Bank pentru a-și transfera banii.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Donna Dale Carnegie continuă opera tatălui său, care avea el însuși obiceiul de a-și revizui lucrările, având grijă în același timp să nu altereze spiritul cărții clasice. Volumul păstrează structura, renumitele principii, echilibrul dintre teorie și anecdote, ritmul antrenant. Parfumul de epocă transpare în locurile potrivite, la fel ca umorul mucalit și inconfundabila filozofie de viață. Așa cum au observat mulți cititori, invitația de a-i "influența" pe oameni din titlul original nu se referă la manipulare, ci la o modalitate de a-i câștiga zâmbindu-le, fiind politicos, sincer și empatic.
