Product Description
The world of the haves and the have nots is antiquated. The coming world is of the haves and the have mores…this is a nuts and bolts approach to today’s problems with concrete solutions to bring about an era of peace. Included in this work is Marlon Brando’s solution to feed the world. The philosophy behind the book comes from following the works of Sir Edward Artis who has traveled the world and brought relief to some of the most dangerous places in the world. Millions of dollars get raised in the United States to solve problems and a lot of that money never hits the mark. We can continue doing the same things and the problems will not get solved. But doing the same thing will not lead to solutions. Solutions will come when ordinary citizens rise and do the work themselves. This book outlines solutions!
