Download or read book No Billionaire Left Behind written by Angelique Haugerud and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing economic inequality, corporate influence in politics, an eroding middle class. Many Americans leave it to politicians and the media to debate these topics in the public sphere. Yet other seemingly ordinary Americans have decided to enter the conversation of wealth in America by donning ball gowns, tiaras, tuxedos, and top hats and taking on the imagined roles of wealthy, powerful, and completely fictional characters. Why? In No Billionaire Left Behind, Angelique Haugerud, who embedded herself within the "Billionaires" and was granted the name "Ivana Itall," explores the inner workings of these faux billionaires and mines the depths of democracy's relationship to political humor, satire, and irony. No Billionaire Left Behind is a compelling investigation into how satirical activists tackle two of the most contentious topics in contemporary American political culture: the increasingly profound division of wealth in America, and the role of big money in electoral politics. Anthropologist and author Angelique Haugerud deftly charts the evolution of a group named the Billionaires—a prominent network of satirists and activists who make a mockery of wealth in America—along with other satirical groups and figures to puzzle out their impact on politics and public opinion. In the spirit of popular programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, the Billionaires demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of economics and public affairs through the lens of satire and humor. Through participant observation, interviews, and archival research, Haugerud provides the first ethnographic study of the power and limitations of this evolving form of political organizing in this witty exploration of one group's efforts to raise hope and inspire action in America's current political climate.

But seeing her again brought all my feelings rushing back…including the anger. Her pathetic excuses only make it worse. When my family and I realize I have a little boy, I’m given little option in how to handle it. This scandal could ruin my family. Lilian and I must marry. I can play happy family with Lilian for the sake of our son and my family’s reputation. Even if it’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do. Turns out it's way easier than I expected. The more time we are forced to spend together, the more I remember all the reasons I loved her to begin with. The times I have her bare body under my hands is absolute bliss.

When I find out she is pregnant with my baby… again, things are about to get complicated… Fake Fiancé Boss Daddy My boss wanted a fake fiancée. The last thing we want is a baby surprise. Loxton Breckwood seemed to have it all. Looks, charm, prestige. A hoard of women lining up to spend one night in his bed… The only thing he didn’t have was access to his trust fund. Requirement number one? A steady relationship. A notion an infamous playboy like him couldn’t even begin to entertain. That’s where I came in… Sadie Thomas. Personal assistant extraordinaire. Model employee. Prime fake fiancée material. Too bad his pale blue eyes and striking tattoos start getting in the way. He is temptation personified, and when a work party goes off the rails, I give in and end up in bed with him. Now, my attraction to him is only one of my problems. Before I know it, I have two even bigger ones. A positive pregnancy test in my hand and a secret that would drive away the daddy of my baby… Broken Single Daddy's Baby My job was to watch his kids. I never expected to become the mother of the next one... Derek Ledderman was the stuff of dreams. Tall, blond, and broad, with green eyes that could see right through my soul, a fortune any man would kill for, and a smile he saved just for special occasions. But why is he has to be so off-limits? Not only is he my boss, but he is also unhappily divorced, and sixteen years older. To complicate matters further, he happens to be my aunt's ex-husband. Too bad resisting my attraction to him kept getting harder every day… I was in so deep that I’d give this man anything he asked for, ....including my V card. But when I finally surrendered myself to him and spent a night in his arms, I was afraid I’d made the biggest mistake of my life. He was no longer just the grumpy single dad I called my boss. He was the father of my baby, and I had no idea how he'd react to the news...

The Spanx Story will help you understand and adopt the competitive strategies, workplace culture, and daily business practices that enabled entrepreneur Sara Blakely to dominate the shapewear industry and become a billionaire. Sara Blakely had a problem. She had a beautiful pair of white designer pants hanging in her closet just calling out to her to wear them, even though they accented her least favorite feature: cellulite. After searching high and low for a solution and coming up empty, an idea was born: Spanx. The Spanx Story chronicles Sara’s journey from long nights researching patent and trademark law, to years of cold shoulders she received from the titans of the pantyhose industry, to the cold call that led to the shelves of Nieman Marcus. It was a long road of incredible hard work and determination that led Spanx to become the iconic brand it is today. Through Sara’s story, you will learn: How to develop an idea and turn it into a business. How to start a company with very little capital by thinking outside of the box and dedicating every spare moment to your goal. How to recognize when it’s better to hire a CEO than to be the CEO. How to stay the course and continue to believe in your idea, despite naysayers and going against an industry resistant to innovation.
