1. Wealth and Poverty
"Wealth and Poverty" is an influential exploration of the economic and social theories that drive the wealth distribution in the United States. The book argues that supply-side economics and capitalism are the most effective systems for creating wealth and reducing poverty. It criticizes welfare programs and other forms of government intervention, asserting that they discourage individual initiative and are counterproductive in the long run. The book also discusses the moral and religious implications of wealth and poverty, emphasizing the importance of values such as discipline and the work ethic.

The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy
This book argues that the current ad-driven, centralized internet architecture dominated by a few platform giants is economically fragile and inimical to privacy, and that advances in cryptography, decentralized protocols, micropayments and edge computing can create a replacement built on distributed trust. It critiques surveillance-based business models and the limits of machine-learning monopolies, proposes public-key identity, blockchain-style ledgers and token incentives to reward creators and secure transactions, and forecasts that shifts in infrastructure—bandwidth, low-latency networks and hardware—will enable a new, more private and market-oriented digital economy.
