"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States The future of the economy is unclear and changes are happening so fast now that it's hard to keep up.

"We have to be compassionate as conservatives. We have to show that we care what people are going through." In business, your message needs to be aimed at people who have an acute problem that needs to be solved. This same principle applies to politics and there are powerful examples of this from the last several decades. The Honourable Tony Clement came into politics in his mid-teens, when free choice and free markets were being threatened by the spread of communism, before the fall of the Soviet Union. As a member of the conservative party and minister of health and industry, Tony has always worked to protect individual freedom from big government. Tony believes that big government is now on the rise again. Expert action steps: Never give up. It's about how you step up and face adversity. Hope is not a strategy. When you have goals in mind, you have to know how you're going to get things done. Have grace in your life. Be understanding. Be compassionate. Power is good but love and compassion are even more important. Go online and register as a conservative at conservative.ca.

"We can actually build the entire financial system in a decentralized manner." Many aspects of society have reached the extreme and are bound to turn around. We're seeing this in the financial systems of the world. Superpowers and giants like the banks, Google and Amazon to name a few, have risen to the extremes of wealth and power and have been suppressing the freedoms of the individual more and more. Now, at the turning point, a new decentralized system is quickly forming and leaders are stepping up to guide us on the journey. Ollie El-Gorr is one of these people. The mission of his company, Freedom Publications, is to empower individual investors to make better investment decisions without having to give a fraction of the returns to a middle-man or huge fees to a large company. Freedom Publications has published 10 educational books aimed at individual investors. There's also a training program called the Contrarian Crypto Club, helping all ages to navigate crypto investment. Published books include titles like Stock Investing for Beginners: Fantastic Moats and Where to Find Them, The 8-Step Beginner's Guide to Value Investing, The Only Bitcoin Investing Book You'll Ever Need, and several others including the recently published The Only Crypto-Currency Investing Book You'll Ever Need.
