A Broken Economy
Before the next government takes charge in New Delhi in June 2024, this collection of articles is intended to provide the harsh ground realities of the economy with the hope that some corrective measures would be taken. The articles start after Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India had entered into "Amrit Kaal", in 2021, and was marching towards "Viksit Bharat @2047", in 2022. While nobody knows what "Amrit Kaal" stands for, the vision, goals and roadmaps for "Viksit Bharat @2047" are likely to be spelt out in the first 100 days after the new government takes charge, assuming as does the Modi government that its mandate would be renewed for a straight third term. These articles pierce through the fog of incessant rhetoric of a glorious dawn and a glorious future - using both official statistics and other credible evidence. They seek to answer many unanswered questions and unravel mysteries behind policies and practices, covering a wide spectrum - from statistical system to growth, employment, gig economy, poverty, hunger, inequality, household finances, agriculture, industry, services, trade, private capex, corporate governance, banking, insolvency and bankruptcy code, privatisation, stock market, taxation, environmental governance, genetically modified (GM) food, freebies/ welfarism, caste, data privacy etc. Some also track global economic developments.

Evolutionary Tax Reform in Emerging Economies
Evolutionary Tax Reform in Emerging Economies: an income-based approach provides one approach to tax reform in emerging economies. Conrad describes the context for tax reform in these economies and outlines the "Standard Approach" to tax reform, an approach that is critically evaluated. Emphasis is placed on revenue generation given to economic efficiency considerations and constraints, institutional and economic, that change through time, and the approach of the work is based on two main elements: policy, for all tax instruments, developed with the individual as the taxpayer, and policy implemented via the use of withholding taxes (advanced taxes), to the extent possible, and via the use of withholding agents, Advanced Payment Agents (APA's). Evolutionary Tax Reform in Emerging Economies examines APAs, direct tax (income tax), and VAT, excises, and tariffs, and discusses topics such as how the base of each tax is defined, how the base might change over time, how APAs are used to collect advanced payments, and how to preserve excise tax collection at the point of production (or import).

Of Banks and Crises
'It is a familiar remark that only 'the rich can borrow, ' and the experience of every day seems to prove it. Yet the poor also may have need of credit, even more than the rich. How, then, can they obtain it? This problem is easily solved by cooperation. An isolated laborer or artisan, no matter how honest or industrious he may be, cannot furnish sufficient guarantee for a loan. Sickness, loss of work, and death, may at any time overtake him and make it impossible, despite his best intentions, to pay back what he has borrowed. But if laborers or artisans to the number of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, are grouped in an organization, and held together, if need be, by the ties of collective responsibility, the security they have to offer will be considerably greater, and they will find it much easier to obtain credit without falling into the hands of usurers. The dues which are paid to such an organization, moreover, will ultimately build up to a large amount of capital which the organization can lend to its members.'Charles GidePrinciples of Economic Policy (1984), Boston USA: DC Heath & Co, publishers translated by C Williams A VerditzA professor of economics, who predicted the subprime mortgage crisis in her doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne between 2006 and 2009, and the general secretary of a major bank analyse the role of banks in triggering the Great Depression and the Great Recession, as well as in helping companies out of the COVID-19 crisis and into the New Environmental Cycle. The book focuses on the dynamics of financial crises that led to the Second World War, Brexit and Donald Trump's presidency. It also chronicles the metamorphosis of the banking profession over the centuries and its reinvention by cooperative banks by and for their customers.

Plastic Capitalism
How bankers created the modern consumer credit economy and destroyed financial stability in the process "As much as it enriches our scholarship, Vanatta's history should also inspire our policymaking."--Carey Mott, Los Angeles Review of Books American households are awash in expensive credit card debt. But where did all this debt come from? In this history of the rise of postwar American finance, Sean H. Vanatta shows how bankers created our credit card economy and, with it, the indebted nation we know today. America's consumer debt machine was not inevitable. In the years after World War II, state and federal regulations ensured that many Americans enjoyed safe banks and inexpensive credit. Bankers, though, grew restless amid restrictive rules that made profits scarce. They experimented with new services and new technologies. They settled on credit cards, and in the 1960s mailed out reams of high-interest plastic to build a debt industry from scratch. In the 1960s and '70s consumers fought back, using federal and state policy to make credit cards safer and more affordable. But bankers found ways to work around local rules. Beginning in 1980, Citibank and its peers relocated their card plans to South Dakota and Delaware, states with the weakest consumer regulations, creating "on-shore" financial havens and drawing consumers into an exploitative credit economy over which they had little control. We live in the world these bankers made.

Clarity and Confidence for Life(R)
What the book is about: We believe when successful families, business owners and corporate executives live their life by design, they have the clarity, confidence and time to focus on what really matters in life. We also believe it's totally possible to live your life by design, and really be intentional about that. What we mean by living life by design and focusing on what really matters in life is intentionally designing the things in life you cannot delegate like time with your family, career, hobbies, spiritual life or your health. We frequently run into successful business owners, corporate executives and even pre-retirees who are often worried they're not being as intentional about their finances as they could be. They're making good money but their house is not in order or they assume it is, since they don't know what they don't know. They may be frustrated and know they should be further along at their current stage of life financially but are not sure how to break through to more clarity and confidence in this area of their lives. They often encounter what we call a ceiling of complexity that ties up their time and keeps them from living life by design and allowing them to focus on what matters most in life. Complexity can be caused by several things, like making more money, complicating your taxes or by having multiple or previous advisors that sold you insurance or investments that you're not sure how they fit into your current plan. Or more commonly it can come from having several siloed issues: like investments, taxes, insurance that are not coordinated together properly. If you make a decision in one area, do you know how it will impact these others? We absolutely believe in being really, really intentional with your planning and it's my hope that the ideas contained in this book will help you remove the complexity so you can live your life by design. Who should read the book: It doesn't matter where you are in life, it's never too late to get serious about making smart or even smarter choices with your money.

Clarity and Confidence for Life(R)
What the book is about: We believe when successful families, business owners and corporate executives live their life by design, they have the clarity, confidence and time to focus on what really matters in life. We also believe it's totally possible to live your life by design, and really be intentional about that. What we mean by living life by design and focusing on what really matters in life is intentionally designing the things in life you cannot delegate like time with your family, career, hobbies, spiritual life or your health. We frequently run into successful business owners, corporate executives and even pre-retirees who are often worried they're not being as intentional about their finances as they could be. They're making good money but their house is not in order or they assume it is, since they don't know what they don't know. They may be frustrated and know they should be further along at their current stage of life financially but are not sure how to break through to more clarity and confidence in this area of their lives. They often encounter what we call a ceiling of complexity that ties up their time and keeps them from living life by design and allowing them to focus on what matters most in life. Complexity can be caused by several things, like making more money, complicating your taxes or by having multiple or previous advisors that sold you insurance or investments that you're not sure how they fit into your current plan. Or more commonly it can come from having several siloed issues: like investments, taxes, insurance that are not coordinated together properly. If you make a decision in one area, do you know how it will impact these others? We absolutely believe in being really, really intentional with your planning and it's my hope that the ideas contained in this book will help you remove the complexity so you can live your life by design. Who should read the book: It doesn't matter where you are in life, it's never too late to get serious about making smart or even smarter choices with your money. You may be a thirty-something corporate executive just finding your groove in the corporate world and now beginning to make enough income to get moving on your planning. But you're not sure how to get started or who to trust. You may be a small business owner in your mid-fifties and your company is crushing it with consistently growing profits and cash flow, but you've hit that "ceiling of complexity" and your company is running you vs. you running your company.

Direct and indirect players in the fight against money laundering
For many years, criminal organisations competed in ingenuity in devising ever more complex schemes to conceal the proceeds of their illicit activities. Faced with the scale of the networks thus created, and fearing that they might lead to the establishment of a real counter-power, it was decided that international cooperation was necessary. It was in this context that we saw the emergence of supranational bodies specialising in the fight against money laundering, and more recently against the financing of terrorism, which enabled various international standards to be drawn up after a colossal amount of work. What was the process that led to the establishment of this kind of fight? By what means was it established? And finally, how is this fight effectively applied? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed in the course of this study, with a view to obtaining a more comprehensive view of the current challenges in the fight against money laundering, and a clearer understanding of the day-to-day implications for the professionals who are subject to it.

Analysis of the audit reports of the companies listed on BM&FBovespa
With this study, we were able to identify the main reasons for issuing a modified audit opinion in relation to companies listed on BM&FBovespa, the Brazilian stock market. To this end, the financial statements of all the companies listed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 were analysed through a descriptive study with a qualitative approach and documentary research. The findings of the research highlight that the main factors that lead to the issue of modified audit reports are problems in the application of asset recoverability tests, inconsistencies in the balances and values of tax and labour (social) obligations, lack of external confirmation, problems with understating liabilities, problems with the recognition and reclassification of accounting accounts, the existence of judicial recovery processes, accumulated losses and overdrawn liabilities. It should be emphasised that these factors cause the auditors to have doubts about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, thus issuing modified reports in the form of a report with reservations, an adverse report or a report abstaining from an opinion.

Infinity Wealth
This book is a culmination of experiences put into writing. They are not just my experiences, but the experiences of the tens of thousands of investors I have had the opportunity to teach, the tax returns and financial data of so many successful investors that I have had the opportunity to review, and the experiences of fellow teachers. Many of the strategiesherein were designed in conjunction with some fantastic investors who have achieved amazing results. For example, when I write about the stock market landlord, I rely heavily on Markay Latimer, a friend and investor, whom I knew in 1999 when she took a $2,000 stock trading account and grew it to over $2 million. Without her input and assistance, I never would have been able to put into words what has been a blessing for so many. Or Jerry Guite, who was the source of so ma ny introductions to successful entrepreneurs and investors throughout my life and a key encourager for me to create my own path. There are many others who provided input and inspiration including David McShane, Erik Dodds, Michael Kramer, Aaron Adams, Clint Coons, Patti Peery, Michael Bowman and David Gass, just to name a few; but the point is that this is not a work of one man's opinion. This is a path paved by the experiences of many that I simply point out so that you can follow their example and get similar results.
