China, Inc. - How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World

The world’s population is rapidly aging—by the year 2030, one billion people will be sixty-five or older. As the ratio of the old to the young grows ever larger, global aging has gone critical: For the first time in history, the number of people over age fifty will be greater than those under age seventeen. Few of us under­stand the resulting massive effects on economies, jobs, and families. Everyone is touched by this issue—parents and children, rich and poor, retirees and workers—and now veteran jour­nalist Ted C. Fishman masterfully and movingly explains how our world is being altered in ways no one ever expected.

What happens when too few young people must support older people? How do shrinking families cope with aging loved ones?

What happens when countries need millions of young workers but lack them? How do compa­nies compete for young workers? Why, exactly, do they shed old workers?

How are entire industries being both created and destroyed by demographic change? How do communities and countries remake themselves for ever-growing populations of older citizens? Who will suffer? Who will benefit?

Grim death was the only romance to be found on this worldthat boasted a thousand moons.  Beautiful world, desolate futures...

It’s an urgent assignment for Vernay?get control of the totalitarian government of Ujvila. Hard enough, but Vernay’s also got to do it before Galactic-Military solves the problem its own way: by slamming in an invasion force and destroying half the planet.

One of the toughest of his career.

More than ever before, Canadians are frightened and stressed out about their retirement and financial future. With the mortgage, car payments and credit card bills, there never seems to be enough to pay the current bills let alone save thousands in RRSPs. At the same time, the large financial institutions are bombarding us with fearful messages of destitution unless we maximize our RRSP contributions.

The stock market crash of 2008 has proven one thing: traditional retirement planning advice simply doesn't work. The risks are too enormous. Throwing money into RRSPs and trusting the stock market is like gambling with your family's future. But how do you plan for retirement without risking everything? In Enough Bull, David Trahair explains:

• How to invest only in 100% safe investments that will never decline
• How to get out of mutual funds and the stock market - forever
• The "Tax Turbo-Charged RRSP strategy" - why you should wait until you are over 50 to start your RRSP
• Exactly what age to elect to receive the CPP pension
• How to avoid the scams that lead to personal financial disaster

Easy to understand and simple to apply, Enough Bull shows Canadians how to avoid all the traps and why doing the exact opposite of what they have been told will leave them much further ahead.
