of
Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction:
"Excellent book! I seldom finish a book in two days, but this book was different. The writing style is riveting, but more than that the message of hope and helping was deeply touching. Thank you for writing this, Jonathan!"

Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction:
"Shooting Up is truly captivating and an amazing account of a unique upbringing. I couldn’t put it down and was at once inspired, encouraged, grief stricken and renewed as the pages evolved. Please read and come to understand that “the answer is alway"

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 |

| Where should I start? The writing is truly terrible. At its best, the prose is competent but dull, at its worst it is repetitive and grating. Her story of grief and addiction could be of interest to the reader, but she's not a skilled enough writer t ...more | |

The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood
by Joseph Luzzi (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Joseph Luzzi is one of my favorite writers. He is incapable of writing a bad sentence, and his love for his subjects comes shining through. He understands Italy in a way few outsiders do, and it is certainly because he is Italian American. His books ...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.”
― The Myth of Capitalism: Monopolies and the Death of Competition
― The Myth of Capitalism: Monopolies and the Death of Competition
“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.”
