(00:00):
Talking to you about it. So it's really good.
So I'm writing a book that's entitled.
Well, you all know I'm writing abook, my second book to
neoliberalism. Book one, The second one, it's
called Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered.
Well, Neo Capitalism and the Death of Nations, that was the
title. I've decided that I'm going to
update the title, change the title.

(00:21):
Instead of saying Neo capitalismand the death of Nations, I'm
going to say unfair competition and the death of a nation
because the capitalism is too specific.
It's too specific because I'm realising that there is unfair
competition in not just in neo cap, in in the US or in

(00:45):
capitalism or what I call neo capitalism or the localism, but
also in other types of politicalsystems like, but they have it,
Russia or China, not communism in its purest form, but I call

(01:05):
neo or pseudo communism and I make that plain in the book as
well. So I will have to change the
title of the book, but I didn't want to change the original
title, Neo Capitalism and the death of nations.
I chose that title because it's to play upon words.
It's a play upon words upon I use a pawn, which is a play upon

(01:25):
word, a figurative expression and is a play upon words.
And it's a play upon words because there's a book by Adam
Smith called Capitalism and the Wealth of Nations.
In fact, he is said to be the father of the system that we
have today, economic system, Adam Smith.

(01:49):
So but I said that that's not true.
I mean, I mean the wealth of nations, it's it's a facade,
it's a lie that the wealth that people have today who have it,
it's from theft, it's from nepotism, so on and so forth.
And then they create laws. They steal from hard working

(02:12):
people and then they create lawsto protect their I'll gotten
gain and the book talks about that.
OK, to be honest. So, but not just in the US, not
just in neo capitalism, but in also pseudo communist think the
societies. I mean, what's going on in
Russia? So now the book is called Neo
Capitalism and sorry, unfair competition and the death of

(02:35):
nations. So that's coming out very soon.
It should have been out about 6 months ago.
It's written by my it's written by myself with my academic
advisor, Professor Martin Oppenheimer, who is I think he's
93 or 94 years old. He was a professor.

(02:55):
He's a professor evitus at Rutgers University.
He taught me at University of Penn, but while I was at Penn,
he advised me on my several bookprojects dissertation.
So I was happy to have him on board.
So that's coming soon. I'm Ronaldo McKenzie, just
giving you guys an update on thebook that's coming up.
