Think about the last time you tried to talk with someone about political, social, or environmental issues who didn't already agree with you. How well did it go?

What if, in these difficult conversations, we could stay true to ourselves while enriching relationships and creating powerful pathways forward?

Pero nunca habría imaginado el encuentro que el destino tenía programado para él. Nunca habría imaginado lo que le ocurriría después de conocer al famoso novelista Joseph Conrad.

Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry; and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

La atribulada familia fuerza a la novia a revelar el nombre de su primer amante; y los hermanos gemelos de ella anuncian su intención de matar a Santiago Nasar por haber deshonrado a su hermana.
