In this book, JJ breaks open the black box. You’ll see how private companies like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion turned your financial behavior into a commodity.

Diffidate di chi propone soluzioni facili. Per i problemi seri ne esistono poche e la disuguaglianza economica alle stelle è senz'altro un problema serissimo. Eppure, se non soluzioni, almeno strade giuste da percorrere se ne intravedono rispetto a quelle sbagliate imboccate sin qui. Tra le più ovvie ci sarebbe quella di ripensare il sistema fiscale in modo che torni, come prevede la nostra Costituzione, a chiedere di più a chi ha di più per alleggerire il carico di chi ha di meno. Questo libro prova a raccontarla meglio per far capire che sarebbe nell'interesse di tutti, ricchi compresi.

It's become an article of faith that American entrepreneurship is in trouble. The problems are many: lack of capital, too few entrepreneurial immigrants, excessive regulation, an aging population, slowing population growth, and rising student debt.

But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately.
