Title: Stuffed and Starved

Subtitle: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System

Author: Raj Patel

Narrator: Nigel Patterson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-18

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

It's a perverse fact of modern life: There are more starving people in the world than ever before, while there are also more people who are overweight.

To find out how we got to this point and what we can do about it, Raj Patel launched a comprehensive investigation into the global food network. It took him from the colossal supermarkets of California to India's wrecked paddy-fields and Africa's bankrupt coffee farms, while along the way he ate genetically engineered soy beans and dodged flying objects in the protestor-packed streets of South Korea.

What he found was shocking, from the false choices given us by supermarkets to a global epidemic of farmer suicides, and real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa.

Yet he also found great cause for hope-in international resistance movements working to create a more democratic, sustainable and joyful food system. Going beyond ethical consumerism, Patel explains, from seed to store to plate, the steps to regain control of the global food economy, stop the exploitation of both farmers and consumers, and rebalance global sustenance.

Members Reviews:

Very thought provoking look at food and who produces genuine food.

You probably have no accurate idea about how your food is produced and by whom - - around the world. Michael Pollen changed how we think about food itself in his Omnivore 's Dilemma. Joel Salatin and many others have shown how it should be grown. Now, Patel lays out the economics of the food industry under which both the people who physically do the farming and those who buy food suffer, while all is controlled by a very few corporations that reap the big profits and government agencies that help them do it.

Patel argues for a return to the beauty of locally and/or personally grown food (animal and vegetable), it's loving preparation in the kitchen, and it's return to being a means of gathering family and community together. We need to slow down a bit.

When you learn the true costs of the food you are eating I hope you might rethink some of your choices.

Stuffed and Starved is not long - - and well worth your time to read it.

One of the most important books that I have ever read. Highly recommended.

Thereâs a medical doctor that has read countless books in nutrition and food politics, this was amazing and a step above much of the other box. Greatly under rated and an important, insightful, and eye-opening read that I suggest anyone moderately curious should go ahead and read it as soon as possible. I was impressed at the range and depths of topics discussed. One of the most important books that I have ever read. Highly recommended.

Reclaiming our food rights

"Stuffed and Starved" by Raj Patel is an ambitious piece of research and critical analysis of the world food system. As both a seasoned policy analyst and news reporter, Mr. Patel's thinking has been enriched through interactions with farmers, businesspeople, policymakers, and activists in four continents. Sharing his thoughts and experiences in an intelligent, mature and accessible manner, Mr. Patel contends that the corporate dominance of the global food production and distribution system must be challenged at the pain of pushing humanity into an ever more insecure and unsustainable future.

Title: Blockchain: The Complete Guide to Understanding Blockchain Technology

Author: Miles Price

Narrator: Matyas J.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-04-18

Publisher: Miles Price

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Cryptocurrencies might be interesting, and there is even profit to be had if you do your own mining, but this pales in comparison to the numerous ways in which blockchain technology will change the way information is shared across the world.

There is no doubt that blockchain technology will become a central part of our lives over the next 10 to 15 years. Soon, you will start to see large financial institutions use the technology to revamp the way that they create and are held to contracts. Blockchain will be massively disruptive for payment processors and credit cards. It is a very real possibility that not too long in the future, a government will adopt blockchain as the underpinning of their official currency.

Blockchain has truly moved out of the realm of interesting and into the spotlight as a practical, powerful, and necessary tool to facilitate information sharing in the 21st century.

Members Reviews:

The best thing about bitcoin is that it is the creation ...

Blockchain has been used all over the world and I am not updated about it, I purchase it because I wanted to know how it works, how is the process and what are the advantages that I can get out of it. Bitcoin is the foundation of the digital currencies that people are using right now. The best thing about bitcoin is that it is the creation of the internet world. This book also provided real situations on how to handle or how to resolve your problem about blockchain. I like bitcoin because it has no third party involved in every transactions. I've learned alot from Miles Price!

It is all worth the read!

Blockchain technology catches my curiosity. I want to know more about this thing and I am thankful I got this book. It is all worth the read. I come to realize how this technology is so timely and beneficial. I never have thought the immense opportunities bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies can offer. This book is indeed an essential guide for you to completely understand what blockchain technology really is.

Great read!

I've heard so much about Bitcoin, but I really didn't understand a thing about it until I read this book - and I'd never even heard of Blockchain! In this book the information is organized in a logical way thatâs easy to access, read and understand. The book offers insights of using Blockchain as well as what obstacles you might face with it. This book is clear, detailed, and well organized. This book is a practical guide and straight to the point. I highly recommend this book!

Thought-provoking piece

This is a never-put-forward-before argument that explains what holds us back. I would like to see more evidence that blockchains are being incorporated into the work of more businesses so that it can be the next great cultural revolution. Either way it is worth a read. It highlights advances in blockchain technology to challenge views on societal changes more broadly.

Great for starters.

The recent surge in Bitcoin prices made me think it was time to catch up with this subject. So I was looking for books on cryptocurrency, bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, blockchain and the likes. I found this book to be of great value to people who are just starting out like me. I think this will be of great benefit to readers.

Title: 50 Economics Ideas You Really Need to Know

Author: Edmund Conway

Narrator: Nigel Anthony

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-28-17

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

What exactly is a credit crunch? Why do footballers earn so much more than the rest of us? Which country is likely to be the world's leading economy in 10 years' time?

Daily Telegraph economics editor Edmund Conway introduces and explains the central ideas of economics in a series of 50 essays. Beginning with an exploration of the basic theories, such as Adam Smith's "invisible hand", and concluding with the latest research into the links between wealth and happiness, he sheds light on all the essential topics needed to understand booms and busts, bulls and bears, and the way the world really works.

Members Reviews:

Excellent, Clear, Simple, Well Written- Core points of economics in an easy to read overview.

If you are trying to learn about economics there are a few different approaches you can take. First, you can study the classic documents, such as "The Wealth of Nations" (Adam Smith), "The General Theory" (J M Keynes), "The Road to Serfdom" (Hayek), "the Communist Manifesto" (Marx) and a few other seminal texts to gain an understanding of how the modern economic stream of study progressed in the last 3 centuries perhaps right up to current works from Friedman and even Laffer. But that approach is arduous and frankly too technical for most people to care to enage with. The second route is to take a college series of courses, which may run through these same ideas in summary by using texts such as survey books like "The Making of Modern Economics" (Mark Skousen) or other general survey books. But this second route maybe not provide a balanced outlook of the differing perspectives, since professors and writers of individual texts are prone to present support for their own beliefs rather than give a neutral view. The last route left for those of us who aren't trained economists is to read simpler books, written for the public.

In that vein, one of the best books I've come across is simply titled "50 Economic Ideas You Really Need To Know". Author Edmund Conway has written a cogent and actually cohesive book that is less disjointed than the title might imply. Beginning with Adam Smith's "invisible hand" doctrine, exploring supply and demand, the Malthusian trap and opportunity cost, Conway guides the reader quickly and clearly through fifty (yes 50!) of the key concepts in economics. After having read several other books (from many of the 3 different approaches I mention above) on economics I found this layman's guide to not only be remarkably accurate and well written but well organized. Economics is often said to be a study of people and their uses of resources, including the decisions they make regarding those resources. Conway starts this book with a more pointed view saying -

Economics examines what drives human beings to do what they do, and looks at how they react when faced with difficulties or success.1

This turns out to be an excellent primer to understand how this book is approached and presented.

Title: Doughnut Economics

Subtitle: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist

Author: Kate Raworth

Narrator: Kate Raworth

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-17

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Doughnut Economics written and read by Kate Raworth.

Economics is broken. It has failed to predict, let alone prevent, financial crises that have shaken the foundations of our societies. Its outdated theories have permitted a world in which extreme poverty persists while the wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. And its blind spots have led to policies that are degrading the living world on a scale that threatens all of our futures.

Can it be fixed? In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray, and sets out a roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet. En route, she deconstructs the character of 'rational economic man' and explains what really makes us tick. She reveals how an obsession with equilibrium has left economists helpless when facing the boom and bust of the real-world economy. She highlights the dangers of ignoring the role of energy and nature's resources - and the far-reaching implications for economic growth when we take them into account. And in the process, she creates a new, cutting-edge economic model that is fit for the 21st century - one in which a doughnut-shaped compass points the way to human progress.

Ambitious, radical and rigorously argued, Doughnut Economics promises to reframe and redraw the future of economics for a new generation.

Idealistic, provocative and preachy

Listened to it twice just to really get the hang it. Idealistic, provocative and preachy. Will follow the movement, not yet a fan.

A must read for anyone interested in sustainability

A wonderful review of economic thinking and where it all went wrong. Puts economics in a new light, helping to reader to see how new economic thinking can be part of the solution. Made me eager to want to learn more.

Connecting the dots

I've had these ideas for a long period of time, but it's great to see them all in one place and how they all connect.
