Conspiracy of the Rich
by Robert Kiyosaki
In 1971, President Nixon, without the approval of the congress took the money off the gold standard and changed the rules of money – not just for U.S. but also for the world.
To omit the subject of money from the education system is a part of the conspiracy and is cruel and unconscionable.
Key Learning Points from the book
THE CONSTANT ECONOMY
BY ZAC GOLDSMITH
We consume way beyond our means, roughly three times beyond our means but that doesn’t mean we must live lives that are three times poorer. It means we should demand food that has travelled shorter distances, less packaging for goods and products that will actually last.
Synopsis of
by Alan Watts
Zen has always believed that the mundane and the sacred are one and the same.
The transformation of consciousness is not a question of how much time you put into it as if it were all added up on some sort of quantitative scale and you got rewarded according to the amount of effort you put into it. Nor is it that simply by avoiding the effort and wanting it instantly would you get it. The only thing that your effort or ‘no effort’ can teach you is that this approach doesn’t work. You can only get it when you discover that you do not need it. You can only get it when you don’t want it. That is the secret.

Synopsis of the book
‘THE ELEPHANT & THE DRAGON’
By Robyn Meredith
As demonstrated in India & China, globalization never hurt the poor as was widely claimed by the activists protesting globalization.
China opened its economy to the outside world in 1978. This led to a five-fold increase in average incomes.
China has had a sickening history during the times of Mao-Tse- Tung before its rise in the world . In pursuing his vision of egalitarianism (which is the basis of communism), he collectivized all land and paid peasants based on collective revenue. This only entrenched famine. Deng Xiopang, the architect of Modern China, who came in Mao’s wake decollectivized land, re-allowed trade of produce from privately owned land and China’s harvests grew back to decent shape.
