Nearly 40 years after Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning novel was adapted into a film directed by Steven Spielberg, the heartrending story of The Color Purple is returning to the big screen as a musical. Based on the 2005 Broadway show, the new film follows the struggles of Celie, a Black teenager in 20th-century rural Georgia, as she grapples with the oppressive forces that surround her. Produced by Oprah Winfrey, this version stars Fantasia, Colman Domingo, Taraji P. Henson, and Danielle Brooks.

Other People's Money - Nomi Prins

Image
  If there's one person Washington   and   Wall Street want silenced... It's Nomi Prins, PhD. One of her first books accurately predicted the 2008 collapse... a full 2 years before it happened. Recently she warned Janet Yellen and other Fed policymakers that inflation was going to spike. They   never invited her back   to another policy meeting. The shortages, the distorted economy...

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

If you hear a “prominent” economist using the word equilibrium, or normal distribution, do not argue with him; just ignore him, or try to put a rat down his shirt. Taleb makes a strong case that traders tend to overprice small changes in the market an...
