People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of DiscontentWe all have the sense that the American economy and its government tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire.

We all have the sense that the American economy--and its government--tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.

Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.

Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us--the U.S. citizens--and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.

An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

ok as part of skin routine, but will take time to see if works
Size: 60ml
I was curious about this product because the idea of a natural product for reducing unwanted hair growth sounded appealing, but my experience was mixed at best. The oil itself feels decent on the skin and didn’t cause irritation for me, which is a plus, especially since it claims to be suitable for all skin types. That said, I did not see dramatic or fast hair-removal results, and it definitely does not work like waxing, shaving, or laser treatments. At most, it seemed like something that might help a little over time with consistent use, but the claims about reducing body hair growth felt stronger than the actual results. If you are buying this expecting a miracle product, you may be disappointed. It may be fine as part of a skincare routine, but I would keep expectations realistic.

Curious to see if it works
Size: 60ml
I’ve started a whole new shaving routine and decided to give this stuff a shot, with what I’ve used thus far I can say the smell is pleasant if you enjoy earthy and floral scents. It has a perfumey scent, but the oil itself left my skin glowing and soft. I’m anxious to continue use!

Great for my middle-aged skin
I found that with age my typically normal skin which gave me no issues when I was a teenager became prone to weird acne that would not want to go away, redness, and overall less vitality. I was using expensive Dermalogica creams for years and loved them, until my skin decided they were not good anymore. My skin just became so much more sensitive in my forties. This cream is so gentle on my skin and it doesn't irritate it. It's rich enough to moisturize but not too heavy to cause issues. The price is great too for the quality and volume. I'm glad I found it.
