Book excerpt: In "Coming to America"The untold truth about living and working in America as an immigrant, award-winning author Muchina, says it's time that someone finally told the biter truth about what it's like to live and work in America as an immigrant. Over a million people migrate to the United States every single year. What most of them don't know is that life in America is completely different from the America they see in the News or movies or American TV shows. In "Coming To America" Muchina talks directly to new immigrants as well as those planning on migrating to the United States in the future. With well-researched statistics and figures, he details the income of an average immigrant as well as the true cost of living and the sacrifices required in order to have a decent life while supporting family back home. Close to a million immigrants become undocumented every year. Muchina dedicates a few chapters to speak to those that may end up overstaying their visas or falling out of "Status" for various reasons. The challenges faced by undocumented immigrants are many, but millions of them find ways to get jobs, buy cars, rent apartments and even start their own businesses. The question is "How do they do it?" Those answers plus alternative documents the government makes available for undocumented people to open bank accounts and pay taxes to states that offer driver's licenses to undocumented residents; all found within the pages of this book In the final chapters of the book, Muchina shares his story of how his obsession with the pursuit of the American dream cost him everything he owned and nearly destroyed his life in the process. He tells his compelling poignant story as a warning to others whose desire to make a lot of money may lead them down the wrong paths with dire consequences. Mostly, with his deep understanding of how the American system works, he brings the wisdom of knowing "What not to do" as well as what aspects of life one must protect in order to build a decent and fulfilling life in America. In his own words, Muchina says 'This book is everything I wish someone had told me when I first came to America" So, If you're planning to migrate to America, this book will help you answer some of the most important questions you may have such as What are the 5 top myths about America? What are the top 5 mistakes most immigrants make? Is “The American Dream” possible for an immigrant? What will your host expect of you when you get to America? Where should you settle in and why?

What happens if you overstay your visa? What kind of job will you be able to get as an immigrant? How much are you likely to get paid for what job? How much will it cost you to live in America? How much does housing cost? What can you or can’t you do? What kind of bills will you have to pay? What kind of taxes will you have to pay? How much money will you be able to earn per month?

What kind of work do undocumented immigrants do? What jobs pay better than others for immigrants? What rights do immigrants have? Do undocumented immigrants have any rights? What’s a social security number and why does everyone need one? What if you can’t get a social security number because of your immigration status? How do you get a driver’s license? If you go out of status, will you be able to get a driver’s license? Where can you get a driver’s license if you overstay your visa? What can you expect from friends and relatives when you move to America? How should you deal with relatives back home? What’s a FICO credit score and how does it determine your success or failure? What mistakes are you likely to make that could ruin your life in America? Will your foreign university degree get you a job in the United States? In part 4, you'll hear the story of the author, an immigrant whose life was nearly destroyed in America due to the lack of information such as found in this book. In his pursuit of the American dream, he made all the wrong mistakes, just like so many immigrants and citizens make. He hopes to spare you from the same fate so you have a chance to succeed and get yourself a piece of the American Dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recommend a book by Professor Williams, it is really worth a read, it's called White Working Class." -- Vice President Joe Biden on Pod Save America An Amazon Best Business and Leadership book of 2017 Around the world, populist movements are gaining traction among the white working class. Meanwhile, members of the professional elite—journalists, managers, and establishment politicians--are on the outside looking in, left to argue over the reasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, described as having "something approaching rock star status" by the New York Times, explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted in class cluelessness. Williams explains that many people have conflated "working class" with "poor"--but the working class is, in fact, the elusive, purportedly disappearing middle class. They often resent the poor and the professionals alike. But they don't resent the truly rich, nor are they particularly bothered by income inequality. Their dream is not to join the upper middle class, with its different culture, but to stay true to their own values in their own communities--just with more money. While white working-class motivations are often dismissed as racist or xenophobic, Williams shows that they have their own class consciousness. White Working Class is a blunt, bracing narrative that sketches a nuanced portrait of millions of people who have proven to be a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the rise of populist, nationalist movements, wondering why so many would seemingly vote against their own economic interests, or simply feeling like a stranger in their own country, White Working Class will be a convincing primer on how to connect with a crucial set of workers--and voters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a citizen of the United States who lives abroad? You probably know that the U.S.A. is one of only two countries that applies citizenship based taxation in order to tax its own citizens on their worldwide income, irrespective of where they live or work anywhere in the world. If you're thinking about becoming a digital nomad or expatriating to another country, do you know how to avoid having to pay tax on your income while abroad? There could be huge penalties or tax evasion charges if you don't file correctly. Fortunately, these important questions have answers. By combining the right strategies for citizenship, residency, banking, incorporation, and physical presence in other countries, most people who work overseas can legally lower their U.S. tax owing to $0. In U.S. Taxes for Worldly Americans, Certified Public Accountant, U.S. immigrant, expat, and perpetual traveler Olivier Wagner preaches the philosophy of being a worldly American. He uses his expertise to show you how to use 100% legal strategies (beyond traditionally maligned "tax havens") to keep your income and assets safe from the IRS. Olivier covers a wealth of international tax information, including: 1. Step-by-step instructions to fill out the Forms and Schedules you will use to file your offshore tax, no matter where you are. 2. How to qualify for special deductions, credits, and exemptions on international taxation. 3. Why opening bank accounts and corporations in foreign countries is easier than you think. 4. How residency or citizenship in another country can legally lower your taxes. 5. Practical advice for moving, living, and working with tax free income in other parts of the world. 6. What to consider before renouncing your American citizenship and saying goodbye to the IRS for good. As a non-resident American, there is no single easy answer to lower your taxes. If you don't understand every possibility, you could end up paying too much. Embrace a worldly lifestyle with confidence as you master the U.S. tax system for Americans living overseas.

Book excerpt: Life in Switzerland. The not-made-for-TV version. In 2006, American Chantal Panozzo moved to a spa town near Zurich ready for a glamorous life as an expatriate. She would eat chocolate. She would climb mountains. And she would order cheese in four languages. Instead, she lived a life more in tune with reality than fantasy. Contrary to popular American belief, Switzerland isn't just a setting in a storybook called Heidi. It's a real place where someone with a master's degree in communications can't make a phone call, where you can be hired in one language and fired in another, and where small talk doesn't exist-but phrases like Aufenthaltskategorien von Drittstaatsangehörigen do. Swiss Life: 30 Things I Wish I'd Known is a collection of both published (The Christian Science Monitor, National Geographic Glimpse, Chicken Soup for the Soul Books, and Brain, Child) and new essays in which Chantal discovers that no matter how hard she wills her geraniums to cascade properly, she will never be a glamorous American expatriate-or Swiss.

Book excerpt: “Propulsive. . . . Highly enjoyable. . . . It sets up a sequel, one that I very much look forward to reading.” —The New York Times Book Review A fresh, smart, and fast-paced revenge thriller about a college basketball player who discovers shocking truths about his family in the wake of his father’s murder Victor Li is devastated by his father’s murder, and shocked by a confessional letter he finds among his father’s things. In it, his father admits that he was never just a restaurateur—in fact he was part of a vast international crime syndicate that formed during China’s leanest communist years. Victor travels to Beijing, where he navigates his father’s secret criminal life, confronting decades-old grudges, violent spats, and a shocking new enterprise that the organization wants to undertake. Standing up against it is likely what got his father killed, but Victor remains undeterred. He enlists his growing network of allies and friends to finish what his father started, no matter the costs.

Download or read book Living and Working written by Dogma and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument against the ideology of domesticity that separates work from home; lavishly illustrated, with architectural proposals for alternate approaches to working and living. Despite the increasing numbers of people who now work from home, in the popular imagination the home is still understood as the sanctuary of privacy and intimacy. Living is conceptually and definitively separated from work. This book argues against such a separation, countering the prevailing ideology of domesticity with a series of architectural projects that illustrate alternative approaches. Less a monograph than a treatise, richly illustrated, the book combines historical research and design proposals to reenvision home as a cooperative structure in which it is possible to live and work and in which labor is socialized beyond the family—freeing inhabitants from the sense of property and the burden of domestic labor. The projects aim to move the house beyond the dichotomous logic of male/female, husband/wife, breadwinner/housewife, and private/public. They include the reinvention of single-room occupancy as a new model for affordable housing; the reimagining of the simple tower-and-plinth prototype as host to a multiplicity of work activities and enlivening street life; and a plan for a modular, adaptable structure meant to house a temporary dweller. All of these design projects conceive of the house not as a commodity, the form of which is determined by its exchange value, but as an infrastructure defined by its use value.
