People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of DiscontentWe all have the sense that the American economy and its government tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire.

We all have the sense that the American economy--and its government--tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.

Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.

Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us--the U.S. citizens--and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.

An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

Great to get clean, clear skin!
While its claims are to help with jock itch, athletes foot and body acne, I don't have those conditions. I purchased it to help my eczema rash breakouts that are itchy and bumpy. This works great to reduce both! Tea tree products tend to have a recognizable, and to me, unpleasant odor. This one has a more pleasant scent than any other product I've tried. I've since tried less expensive tea tree/eucalyptus soaps with no results at all and none had the fresh, clean scent of this one! I'm very happy with this product and have just signed up for the subscription!

Great product, terrible leaky packaging!
This wash is fantastic, my skin loves it, I love the sweet woodsy scent ... but the tube / product packaging seems to be cheap. The flip cap has a VERY weak hinge which broke during transit and leaked all over my sink and countertop. I'm treating the original packaging as unreliable by taping it shut during storage and using a generic dispenser day to day.

Not just for “Active People”!
I originally bought this for my SO. He’s a chef, and after working long hours in a hot kitchen wearing a heavy chef’s uniform, he has a lot of uncomfortable sweat-related issues. He liked it so much that I decided to try it for the chub rub and underboob rashes that plague me every summer. Sweet relief! My swampy spots are clean and healthy, and it’s surprisingly moisturizing for a purifying cleanser. I’m also really sensitive to perfumes and heavy fragrances, but the tea tree, eucalyptus, and thyme combo is clean and fresh, and somehow simultaneously energizing and calming. As for the price, a small amount of this cleanser goes a really long way. We would normally go through a water-based cheaper cleanser in this size in about a week. We’ve been using this for 2 weeks and it’s only about halfway gone. I try to be thrifty with most things but this product is more than worth the price tag!

A little goes a long way
The first thing I noticed was the scent, which I would think others would also find appealing. When I used it, I was happy to find that a little product went a long way. Although this is a liquid soap, it felt like a bar soap on my skin. For me, it did a great job at cleaning and deodorizing my skin.
