Literature Reviewed for Masood Rezvi's Book on Inflation

The moment I settled down to review the available literature on inflation on the Internet, the idea struck to my mind to collect and list them on a page in our blog, so that any one interested in the subject may also benefit from this collection, simultaneously, or later. I am creating this page with this purpose and propose to keep it updated on a regular basis.  I also propose to include the URL of this page in the book when it goes to press, so that readers may easily find out links to those web locations, which were referred to during the preparation of the book or which I find even later.

Hope this will be useful for any one intending to study the subject.

Truly Yours

Masood Rezvi

Write with us a #LEAD #Book, become a #LEAD #Author and get recognised internationally.

Your first book is just throbbing within you, like a baby in its mother's womb! Isn't it?

Submit sample

You express yourself beautifully through your words. Your friends and the people who know you always urge you to write, write a book. 

You have observed the society keenly. You have noticed conflicts and cooperation minutely; in a way and from an angle, no  ordinary person would ever have. You have some new explanation to a phenomenon because of your particular "out of the tunnel vision" which the world should know.  

Or may be you are a passionate photographer and you have a collection of exquisite shots which you like to publish in the form of a book of photographs.

Or you just came back from your vacation in the hills or on the sea and want to share your memories with the world. 

And, of course you have your story to share with the world or have written great poems. 

Or, may be you are a student or a scholar who needs to be published in order to be recognised in your particular subject. 

Oh you have conceived your first book!!

You experienced this! Didn't you?

You approach a well known book publisher. 

They ask you about your earlier experience as a book author and the moment they know that you want them to publish your début book, they become pricey. And you keep on running from one publisher to the other till you get exhausted and just strangulate the author within you. 

If you are a die hard stubborn type, you decide to publish your own book. You get it printed in your own locality and spend say 1,50,000 INR or more on the process, take the load of a thousand printed copies to your home. 

But the book you have printed perhaps lacks an ISBN number. 

Then you take out 5 or 6 copies and start visiting your friends' places informing each of them one by one that now you have become an author. You take out one copy, autograph it beautifully and gift it to your friend, who out of courtesy leafs through for a few minutes and if you watch the eye movements of the fellow closely you instantly know that nothing is being read! 

You leave for the house of another friend. 

Back at the first stop the spouse of your friend enters the room, picks up the book looks at the title and your name, laughs and tells your friend: 

"So the crazy chum of yours has become an author."

"Poor soul! Could never find a good work to do!"

If you have very good relations with the media people, you go forth, get a decent book release ceremony organised and spend another 50 k bucks on it to get the news published in the local newspapers that you have become an author. Collect all the newspapers the next morning, painstakingly take out the cuttings, paste them on drawing paper and make an album out of them, get them scanned and post them on the social media. 

Whoosh ... There it ends ...

But we can publish your book without any hassle:

Instead, you can write with us and become a LEAD Author. You will have to make no expense except whatever you make on getting your book typed in MS Word and sending it to us.

Synopsis:

 

The rat-race of wealth maximisation is the academically accepted goal of business today; to such an extent that 'do-gooding' has become a sin.

Big business schools are taking keen interest in the study of Bottom of Wealth Pyramid through their Global Poverty Projects but looking upon it as a market segment hunting business opportunity in it with a ‘good business sense’ sans ‘do-gooding.’

Today 1% of world population is controlling 50% of world wealth, and more and more wealth is being sucked up the pyramid continuously, through a giant centrifugal wealth sucker pump, in the process destroying the inhabitability of Earth. The concern for CSR and ecosystem preservation is mere lip service.

Are those at the top of the wealth pyramid planning to fly off to some other inhabitable planet before Earth becomes too dangerous to live upon?

If so the species of sub humans left back down here may be called Homo gaius, after Gaia the Greek personification of mother earth. They will be an endangered species, will have extremely poor chances of survival, with a very high mortality rate, and sooner or later will become an extinct species. The other species, those who fly off to extraterrestrial habitats best deserve being called - Homo machiavellius, in‘honour’ of Niccolo Machiavelli, author of The Prince.

A dream, if you belong to the 1% Top of Pyramid, but a horrific nightmare otherwise!

In order to prevent the nightmare becoming a reality, goal of businesses must immediately be redefined as Survival Chance Maximisation of Homo sapiens.

The royalties earned on this book will be used exclusively for charity by LEAD Trust, Lucknow, India.

There are 15 pictures 5 illustrations, 1 table, 47 bibliographical references, a glossary of uncommon words and an exhaustive index at the end.

Abridged Version: 

The book "Tightening Noose of Poverty" (ISBN-10: 1517533066 / ISBN-13: 978-1517533069) - available on Amazon - was very much liked by almost all of the readers. However, a concern was shown that the paperback edition of the book was out of the reach of an ordinary student, and thus, there was a need to come out with another edition which could be made affordable for the masses.

Although the kindle edition was there to fulfill this need, we decided, that since till now, in many areas of the world, an e-book was not a feasible reading medium, and there were many readers - especially the senior ones - who were not very comfortable with e-book reading; it was essential to print a separate abridged title extracted from the original one, in as compact a form as possible, and to make it as much affordable as possible. In this abridged book, we have culled the table of pictures, illustrations and tables; the bibliography, the index, and almost all of the images; and have reduced the font size as well as line spacing, stuffed the quotations within the main chapters so as to avoid extra use of even a single folio, and have used white paper in place of the cream paper used in the original one.

We have, however, maintained the original text and are sure that the book will succeed in conveying the message.
