Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction:
"I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway and was pleasantly surprised. This isn’t the type of book I would gravitate towards on my own but the more I read the more I enjoyed. It’s heartbreaking but hopeful. Well written from beginning to end"

"This book surprised me, surprises at every turn. Highly recommend for those of us who lived through the 80s and, frankly, those who didn’t. It was such an interesting perspective on when AIDS first came on the scene, how it was portrayed, and how it "

"I was unsure about this book but as I was given a free copy, I felt obligated to read and review. I was hesitant because I saw that it was about religion and I was afraid it was going to be preachy. But it was simply a beautiful book about how suffer"

Tara is a good, but not great writer. However, nothing about this book makes any sense or passes the most minimal common sense test. Here are a few things that completely defy belief: - supposedly her family were self-taught and uneducated but three ...more |

“If we look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs, most workers are not asking to find their true calling at their jobs, as Weber suggested, but are simply asking to get paid a living wage and have certainty they'll have a job next week.”

“All around the world, people have an overwhelming sense that something is broken. This is leading to record levels of populism in the United States and Europe, resurgent intolerance, and a desire to upend the existing order. The left and right cannot agree on what is wrong, but they both know that something is rotten. Capitalism has been the greatest system in history to lift people out of poverty and create wealth, but the “capitalism” we see today in the United States is a far cry from competitive markets. What we have today is a grotesque, deformed version of capitalism. Economists such as Joseph Stiglitz have referred to it as “ersatz capitalism,” where the distorted representation we see is as far away from the real thing as Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean are from real pirates. If what we have is a fake version of capitalism, what does the real thing look like? What should we have? According to the dictionary, the idealized state of capitalism is “an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, characterized by the freedom of capitalists to operate or manage their property for profit in competitive conditions.”

“This brings us to the very ugly truth about regulation: while big businesses often complain about regulation, the truth is that even though it is painful and annoying, they don't mind it and even favor it. Regulations that are burdensome enough to kill small companies but are not strong enough to kill large ones are, in fact, ideal.”
