Billion Dollar Whale (2018) Authors: Tom Wright & Bradley Hope The world has all the resources to feed Man but not his greed. Going through the book, it is evident that the world only caters for the high-heeled.  Try borrowing a couple hundreds of bucks from a banking institution or transfer some money. The paperwork and the confusing legalese jargon that one has to go through would make the borrower feel like a criminal. All these formalities remain so, formalities, when it comes to the megarich.

Everybody wants to change everything! Not everything changes for the better for everyone! Just a century ago, life was simple. When things became complicated and hard to deal with, help usually came from the community.

Slowly when problems became more abstract and less tangible, the snake oil salesmen and religious men filled in the gap. When diseases were considered incurable and terminal, people started looking at it as God-sent to punish the non believers and those who strayed from the true teachings.
