{"title":"Books by Jonathan Tepper","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"9781394184064","title":"The Myth of Capitalism – Monopolies and the Death of Competition","description":"The Myth of Capitalism tells the story of how America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook and Amazon act as gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies, when it comes to high speed Internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, social networks, Internet searches, or even consumer goods like toothpaste. Every day, the average American transfers a little of their pay check to monopolists and oligopolists. The solution is vigorous anti-trust enforcement to return America to a period where competition created higher economic growth, more jobs, higher wages and a level playing field for all. The Myth of Capitalism is the story of industrial concentration, but it matters to everyone, because the stakes could not be higher. It tackles the big questions of: why is the US becoming a more unequal society, why is economic growth anemic despite trillions of dollars of federal debt and money printing, why the number of start-ups has declined, and why are workers losing out.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298026729845,"sku":"9781394184064","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781394184064_853b59fa-113a-4a75-93e2-7f0550a4851a.jpg?v=1786018582"},{"product_id":"9781408724958","title":"Shooting Up","description":"Raised in 1980s Madrid in the streets of San Blas, which bore the devastating scars of heroin addiction and crime, Jonathan Tepper's childhood was anything but ordinary.   Born into a family of American missionaries driven by unwavering faith, Jonathan's home became a sanctuary for society's most broken - addicts, conmen, even murderers - pulled from the streets with the fragile hope of recovery. While others recoiled, Jonathan found friendship and family in those who joined his parents' centre, standing loyally beside them as they battled their demons.   San Blas may have been Europe's heroin capital, but it was not the drugs, the alcohol or the violence that took so many lives. AIDS hit Spain a few years after it exploded in New York and, like an invisible plague, it claimed countless lives - including those who Jonathan came to love as brothers and sisters in the family rehabilitation centre. Unable to do anything but helplessly stand by, Jonathan, from a young age, had to confront the raw reality of grief and the fleeting nature of life itself.   A powerful and deeply moving exploration of love, loss and faith, Shooting Up is also an enduring love letter to old friends and family, and a welcome reminder on how hope can unexpectedly arise in even the darkest places.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":56368834642293,"sku":"9781408724958","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57682682478965,"sku":"9781408724989","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408724958_9bf33e6e-f0b9-4b04-84fa-ff32b28be72e.jpg?v=1792511589"},{"product_id":"how-investing-changed-the-world-and-how-it-can-ch-ange-your-life","title":"The How Investing Changed the World: And How It Can Ch ange Your Life","description":"A story-driven stock investing guide from a Rhodes Scholar and professional fund manager  In The Quiet Millionaires, Rhodes Scholar and fund manager Jonathan Tepper teams with award-winning author Joseph Luzzi, PhD, to deliver an accessible, story-driven guide to stock investing.
