Sinopsis

In "Old Gorgon Graham," George Horace Lorimer envelops readers in the intricate world of business through the lens of humor and biting satire. The narrative follows the exploits of its protagonist, Graham, an acerbic but insightful character who offers poignant commentary on the foibles and follies of American corporate culture at the turn of the 20th century. Lorimer'Äôs distinctive literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and witty dialogue, effectively encapsulates the era's zeitgeist while revealing timeless truths about ambition and ethics in the business realm. His observations resonate profoundly, providing a mirror to the evolving landscape of American capitalism. George Horace Lorimer, an influential editor for the "Saturday Evening Post," drew from his extensive experiences in the editorial and business sectors, which granted him a unique perspective on the socio-economic challenges of his time. Born in 1867, Lorimer's career was marked by a commitment to addressing both the superficialities and deep-rooted problems of the American spirit. Such a background imbued him with the insight and nuance needed to craft a narrative that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, inviting readers to reflect on the moral implications of their pursuits. "Old Gorgon Graham" is highly recommended for those fascinated by the intricate interplay of humor and morality within a business context. Whether you are a business professional, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply a lover of literate satire, this book serves as a compelling reminder of how the past'Äôs lessons remain pertinent in contemporary society.

    Straight answers to every question you've ever had about how the economy works and how it affects your life 
     
     
     
    In this Collector's Edition of their celebrated How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, Peter Schiff, economic expert and bestselling author of Crash Proof and The Real Crash, once again teams up with his brother Andrew to spin a lively economic fable that untangles many of the fallacies preventing people from really understanding what drives an economy. The 2010 original has been described as a "Flintstones" take on economics that entertainingly explains the beauty of free markets. The new edition has been greatly expanded in both quantity and quality. A new introduction and two new chapters bring the story fully up to date. 
     
     
     
    With the help of lively humor and deceptively simple storytelling, the Schiffs bring the complex subjects of inflation, monetary policy, recession, and other important topics in economics down to Earth. The story starts with three guys on an island who barely survive by fishing barehanded. Then one enterprising islander invents a net, catches more fish, and changes the island's economy fundamentally. Using this story the Schiffs apply their signature take-no-prisoners logic to expose the glaring fallacies and gaping holes permeating the global economic conversation.

    How I use the banking concept to make passive income from investing in real estate 
    Passive Income Ideas Requiring an Upfront Monetary Investment 
    These types of passive income require you to invest money upfront to generate the passive income later. Don't be alarmed though - you can start with as little as $5 with some of these ideas, so it's achievable for everyone. 
    1. Dividend Stocks 
    Dividend stocks are tried and true way to earn passive income. You will have to do plenty of research to find good stocks and invest a significant amount of money to receive large dividend checks. However, if you consistently invest money into dividend stocks you can amass a nice residual income over time. 
    For any of these investment opportunities, make sure you open an account at the best online brokerage and get rewards while doing it.  
    This is amazing for investing in dividend stocks because you can build your portfolio of, say, 30 stocks. Then, your investments will be auto-allocated to your entire portfolio every deposit - for FREE! You can even auto-rebalance. Then, your dividends can also be reinvested. It's a fantastic platform, and it was made for this. 
    2. Rental Properties 
    A cash-flowing rental property is a fantastic way to bring in a monthly income. To make this truly passive you can outsource the running of the properties to a management company. 
    However, the internet has made investing in rental properties easier than ever before. There are a lot of ways you can invest in rental properties depending on what your goals and interests are. You can be a limited partner in large residential or commercial properties, or you can buy homes and be a landlord - all online!
