Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Should billionaires exist? Is healthcare a human right? Can we build a free and fair society?Most books on economics and inequality pick a side and preach to the choir. A World That Works does something different: it interrogates both sides with equal rigor.Through a series of compelling Socratic dialogues, Ali Mirza-born in Pakistan, raised in Lebanon and Kenya before arriving in America-explores the deepest questions in political economy with the perspective of someone who's seen both functional and dysfunctional systems firsthand. The immigrant's paradox: The whole world wants to get to America, but Americans seem embarrassed by the very system that drew them. Mirza unpacks why-examining capitalism not with blind faith but with the eyes of someone who's lived the alternative.On Wealth: - Why capping billionaire wealth sounds fair butwould devastate innovation- Why "they didn't build that alone" is true but irrelevant- How to distinguish legitimate value creation from rent-seekingOn Rights: - Why positive rights that depend on others' labor aren't actually rights- The difference between compassion and coercion- Why healthcare access matters even if healthcare isn't a "right"On Inequality: - Why unequal outcomes aren't the same as injustice- Why mobility matters more than distribution- Why some inequality is the price of freedom-and why that's okayOn Meaning: - Why material security doesn't create purpose- Why people need contribution, not just consumption- Why redistribution can't solve existential despairOn Building a Better World: - How to raise the floor without killing the engine- Why safety nets must preserve dignity and incentive- What policies could actually work This isn't ideology-it's honest reasoning about trade-offs we all face. Mirza doesn't promise utopia. He promises intellectual integrity.Perfect for readers who: Are tired of partisan echo chambersWant substance over slogansCan handle uncomfortable truthsBelieve good faith disagreement mattersThink both left and right get important things wrongYou will like this book if you liked: The Righteous Mind (Jonathan Haiti), Enlightenment Now (Steven Pinker), Basic Economics (Thomas Sowell), Why Nations Fail (Acemoglu & Robinson)Warning: This book will challenge you regardless of your politics. That's the point. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
