Always a pleasure! Any recommendations you'd like to share with us?😄

That's the goal. Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it. How did you like today's video?

my thought too

I was about to type that but I thought to see if anyone already had a similar thought. You put it excellently

The Fountainhead is a brilliant book.

I have that one I'm not a big fan of I find their models are mostly pseudo science, which I dislike.

Another great book. It could be claimed as pseudo science but I don't think you can argue that the world doesn't run on cycles like the seasons. So why wouldn't there be a macro cycle encompassing the psychology of generations?

Cool! How did you like it?

@@OffshoreCitizen Good - a bit unsettling that it was written a while ago.

Are you following his work?

@@OffshoreCitizen I have the book on my shelf and subscribed to his newsletter Strategic Investment before it ended. Now it's started again and I'm thinking about subscribing.

You're welcome! Have you read it?

@@OffshoreCitizen In the process. I’m listening many books in parallel.

You're welcome! Any books you'd like to recommend?😄

Thanks! Have you read the book?

@@OffshoreCitizen No, but I will based on your recommendation ;)

Sure plenty in different ways

Thank you for the feedback, Marie. And your support, truly appreciate it. Any books you'd like to recommend?

@@OffshoreCitizen I've got "The Fourth Turning" by Strauss and Howe on my list, which may be a nice complement to "The Sovereign Individual." I found Angell and Lespering's "Flight of the Golden Geese: How the 1% Matter to the 99%" a good read. Thanks again, Michael!

I haven't read it (but just ordered based on the rec in this video. I'd say that the move to a "global minimum tax" world is governments attempt to hold back the tide. By forcing the same tax system globally, it removes the incentive for wealth creators to move and therefore stops or delays the loss of these people and their wealth / contributions. It is the digital era equivalent of the Soviet iron curtain forcing their citizens to not have the choice of democracy/capitalism.

Lol And how did you like it?😄

It is! Any books you recommend?

I did a video sometime back on The Great Reset It gets pretty misrepresented. This being said the book predicts the rise of nationalism in opposition to globalization prior to the eventual collapse of the nation state. My guess is they'd argue it will fail.

@@OffshoreCitizen "The Luddites" the authors refer to, who oppose the collapse of the nation state, I see mapping to the peaceful protesters in Ottawa and to the MAGA voters in America. You just have to look at all the patriotic flags flying in the crowds. What I have been chewing over after listening to this book recently, is how it relates specifically to the political situation in the UK at the moment. The son of one of the authors is Jacob Rees-Mogg, who currently serves in Boris Johnson's cabinet. He is a driver behind the UK leaving the EU. Some think this book explains the thinking of British elites who want to extract the nation state out of the clutches of the continetal welfare state of the EU. I believe that the WEF vision for globalisation is going one way, and the people driving Brexit have their vision of the future described in this book. Both going in different directions, both the end of the nation state. It would explain the huge attempts to oust the PM at the moment and the UK's apparent divergence from the more strict COVID policies being implemented across the world. Great book, though. Spooky to hear how many things they get right. It starts with terrorism by bin laden (years before 9/11) and carries right on to describing the Metaverse.

We did a video way back when talking about "what is offshore". Offshore is anything outside your country. For most of the world the US is offshore but for Americans it's onshore. If you're saying Canada isn't low tax that's mostly true. If you're saying Canada doesn't cater well to foreign businesses that's also true.

What makes you say that?

@@OffshoreCitizen the author actually says something like this on the book. Because predatory taxation will roughly cost you that amount over your lifetime for a middle class person and even more if you are rich.
