How To Profit From Marijuana Without Joining A Cartel: A Quick & Dirty Guide To Stocks in The Cannabis Industry. All You Need To Begin
America, the world’s oldest democracy and largest economy, marks its quarter millennium this year. There are several things about its voyage as a nation that resonate around the world (I say this as a non-American). Great coverage on many platforms including WSJ. I found The Economist’s special covering the different eras from the Declaration of Independence till the present time educative as well as entertaining. They have various book recommendations, to go with the 250th year - The Omni-Americans: Some Alternatives to the Folklore of White Supremacy is one of the many to explore.
Lot’s happening in the world of Business, Finance, and Economics literature. Nobel prize-winning Author Daron Acemoglu’s new work, which includes discussion on AI, is getting talked about everywhere. What Happened to Liberal Democracy?: Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity And equally so is the controversy between him and The Economist. The publication has chosen to question the weight of his views in a feature article. Surprising and uncharted territory for the magazine, many feel.
The long list of the FT and Standard Chartered Business Book of the Year Award 2026 is here. The way they have grouped the books is interesting - Power, Innovation and Society being the three categories. Each title offers something new to readers. At the same time, I find this one particularly alluring
The Bank of England’s series including books such as this one
aims to simplify financial concepts for general readers. It is a novel and engaging narrative, no doubt. Was particularly struck by its illustration of how things like education function as public goods. They need to be seen as net positive because of the long term value they create for society, rather than being viewed from a short-term cost-benefit lens.
Still, it is from an eminent Central Bank, so it more or less upholds traditional systems and does not introduce any radical questions.
After more than 20 years in banking, debt collections, and financial services, I’ve learned something that no textbook could ever fully teach me:Financial struggles don’t discriminate, and sometimes the people who need the most help are the ones afraid to ask for it.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen people face overwhelming debt, financial hardship, and the devastating effects of fraud. I’ve witnessed the fear, frustration, embarrassment, and uncertainty that can follow.
And I’ve always wondered: What if I could help someone avoid that pain before it happens?
My professional journey has given me a unique perspective:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
20+ years of banking and financial services experience
Experience in first- and third-party debt collections, seeing firsthand how financial decisions can impact people’s lives.
QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and small-business owner, helping people better understand and manage their finances.
CCBRS credential, further supporting my financial services background.
But here’s what matters most to me.
Knowledge means very little if we don’t use it to help others.
That’s why I wrote Fraud Hit. Now What? The 9 Things You Need to Do to Protect Your Money, Identity, and Future.
I didn’t want to write another book filled with complicated financial terminology or lectures about what people should have done differently.
I wanted to create something practical. Something that could sit beside someone during one of the most stressful financial moments of their life and say:
“You’re not alone. You don’t have to figure everything out today. Here’s your next step.”
My goal is simple: Make a positive difference in the world, one person, one family, and one financial decision at a time.
And now, I’m asking for YOUR help.
I’m looking for readers who would be willing to read my book and share their genuine feedback!
Whether you’re experienced with personal finance or just beginning to learn, I’d love to know:
⭐ Was the information easy to understand?
⭐ Did you learn something that could help protect your family?
⭐ Did the book give you practical steps you could actually use?
⭐ What could I improve to make it even more helpful?
I’m not looking for compliments. I’m looking for honest feedback that will help me become a better author and help more people.
If you’ve already read the book, I’d be grateful for your thoughts or an honest Amazon review. If you haven’t, I’d love for you to give it a chance!
Available on Amazon in paperback, Kindle, and through Kindle Unlimited.

Success isn’t always measured by how much money we make. Sometimes, it’s measured by how many lives we positively impact along the way. ❤️
Thank you for helping me turn a lifetime of experience into something that can make a difference.
The Economics Nobel announced this week made me try and see if any popular books have been written by the laureates - which can make their prize-winning work more accessible to non-academic readers. News reports mention that their work is on New Keynesian models - that bring out the linkage between family and small business decisions on overall macro-economic trends. There are intense, academic books, of course, but could not find any options outside that category. Hopefully, we will see some broad-based releases in future., that can appeal to a wider circle of book lovers. Makes me remember recent 2023 winner Claudia Goldin’s brilliant book
- that opened the doors to her research for a vast universe of readers.
The winner declared this week was the much expected Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI
