I congratulate everyone who has effectively decided to support this my campaign. What's more, if you have not decided on this yet, but instead you are interested in, please do not doubt. You have a one of a kind opportunity to be among the first to receive this truly revolutionary book.
Try not to fear exhausting content and abstruse economic terms. This book is another! It will be written in a basic and understandable language. This book is for everyone! After all, it answers the questions that everybody asks. Furthermore, these answers depend on your well-being in the future. Rest assured, it will be fun, I'll deal with it!
My goal is a book which explains briefly by the grass-roots language the gist of economic phenomena that always helped you get rid of earned money by the sweat of your brow. The vast and terrible economic crisis! Crisis, depression, recession... It has many names. You were vulnerable and defenseless before them. But now, here is a chance of a lifetime; here is the opportunity to learn something that has always been hidden reliably from common people behind vague terms of economic science.
People who are far from the economy often don’t understand the necessary things. It's something hidden in the bowels of Wall Street, for them, behind the thick steel walls of bank vaults. Or, a set of meaningless figures of stock quotes.
Well, let's try to open the veil of secrecy.
People often hold the opinion: "Let experts and governments think for us. We pay them for this." But, we seem to forget that even governments and all kinds of institutions are not abstract categories from another dimension. Besides, they are not all-powerful gods; they are human who breathes the same air we breathe and think just as we do.
The primary issue in the overgrowth of the crisis to the Big Bada Boom is that it obliterates the economic and political mechanisms that are intended to eliminate it. It will happen once more. But, everyone can help themselves. How to do it? Most importantly, be among the very first to read this book.
Protecting your savings and lifestyle is opening the door to a new world for yourself. The key to that door is this book! Why not get it now and say thanks to me later?
This applies to absolutely everyone. The consequence of the economic crisis is a reduction in production, massive bankruptcy and unemployment, a decline in the standard of living of the people. The economic crisis is a phenomenon of our time. Still fresh memories of the recent World Financial Crisis 2008-2015 named "The Great Recession". Most of all, the middle class suffered from this crisis, while before the crisis its share in the total amount of world wealth remained stable for a long time. At the same time, the share of 1% of the richest people in the world volume of wealth exceeded 50% and continued to increase. Unprecedented growth in unemployment led to the achievement of its record in the history of labor market surveillance. In 2009, 199 million people were officially considered unemployed. Five years after the beginning of the Great Recession, according to the report "The Precarious State of Family Finances" of The Pew Charitable Trusts, about 70% of American families were in a "tense financial situation" regarding income, expenditure or general welfare. Before the industrial revolution of the late 18th century, there were no regularly recurring booms and depressions. These cycles occur around the same time as the modern industry.
The economy is such a complex system, to the point that it's hard to depict it pretty much correctly, or it's relatively incomprehensible. Apparently, the economy isn't pseudoscience, such as alchemy; however, the prominent economic minds of the past often predicted wrong. Grey men consistently draw complex models, and each year they receive the Nobel Prize for different nonsense, but they cannot foresee when there will be another crisis and how deep asshole it will lead. Although everyone knows that it will. It will be exactly, do not doubt! The question is only what will occur before, a local crisis or "Great and Terrible"?
I will answer some questions that worry many people:
What are the causes of the crises?
What happens to the economy now?
When will the next crisis happen?
Why does the middle class disappear?
Why do the rich get richer in a crisis?
How will this affect each of us?
Who is guilty?
Who is responsible for this?
And the most important: How not to become a victim of the crisis?
And one more thing ... Having supported this my campaign, you can save on taxes (such as VAT in the EU or sales tax in the US).
First of all, I am a man. And I am also disturbed by ordinary human problems. But, I have degrees in economics, political science and social philosophy. Cool, isn’t it? But, this did not deprive me of a sense of humor. Therefore, this book will contain sarcasm, irony, etc. Although this does not reduce its value. I'm just trying to communicate with people in a common language. In addition to theoretical knowledge, I have an excellent anti-crisis practice. And what is especially important, this practice is related to the crisis management of relatively small companies. This is something that is important for people, but not for government institutions. Also, merits mention that I come from a country that has been in a condition of permanent crisis (economic and political) for almost three decennaries. And this, on its own, is a unique life experience.
What cannot you find in this book?
I will not disclose the secrets of quick and easy enrichment. I do not know them, and no rich man knows them either. Those who promote this, just scammers. I also will not disclose the secrets of absolute happiness. Happiness is a subjective category, and high-risk investments are not my strong suit. If you want to beat the casino - buy a casino! I give only an essential tool - knowledge that will help you avoid unnecessary risks!
I set a goal based on the quantity of the first print edition of 1000 copies. But, the book will be published in any case. You have now a unique chance to become one of these lucky ones. You can get this author's version of this book without editorial changes and censorship. Only the truth, only hardcore!
And, if you are not tired of reading it yet, I want to thank you for the time and money spent. And if you cannot support my campaign with money, but consider my work necessary, you can support the campaign by telling about it to your friends. Please help spread this information.

HALF THE CHILD takes place over four consecutive summers in the lives of Michael Mullen and his son Benjamin, who ages from 2½ to 5½. The novel chronicles the separation, divorce, custody battle, and abduction that threaten to tear apart father and son. Mike is a 34-year-old air traffic controller at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport who is also pursuing a graduate degree in Psychology. He and Ben’s mother were married for less than five years when she suddenly decided to seek a divorce. Throughout these four summers the legal stakes keep dramatically increasing, as mediation devolves into litigation, and her romantic and career aspirations spur her to first take Ben to Indiana, and then to abduct him and resettle outside the U.S. For Mike, the cost of asserting his rights as a father and Ben’s rights as a son continues to escalate. Over the course of the four summers, the battle for Ben negatively affects Mike’s career, education, financial state, friendships, romantic life, physical health, and emotional well-being. Ultimately, refusing to relinquish his parental rights leads Mike to personal bankruptcy, temporary homelessness, potentially catastrophic errors at work, and suicidal depression. Yet Mike steadfastly refuses to consider a life that consists of him living apart from Ben. Thematically, each of the summers is marked by a key stage in Ben’s development: • Book One, 2013: A Summer of Colors • Book Two, 2014: A Summer of Numbers • Book Three, 2015: A Summer of Words • Book Four, 2016: A Summer of Concepts For both Ben and Mike, these are years of unparalleled growth. But with courts continually ruling against Ben’s father, it remains uncertain if their bond will survive. Ultimately, they will write their own love story. HALF THE CHILD was a semi-finalist in both the 2017 James Jones First Novel Competition and the 2017 William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition.

The Handmaid's Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population.
The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment’s calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and a tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best.

Not only can words hurt, but so can the lack of kind and loving words. Rob Alex, share with you a method to bring back and even add new loving words to your relationship. Following the approach presented in Speaking Kind Words will improve and bring a new outlook to your relationship.
