Affluence: empowering Youth

Written by Tony Schraub from San Luis Obispo, CA on March 13th, 2008

  • Book Rating: 2/5

Not really a book at all but a lecture by a 19 year old, getting to know the big world by recent travel to India, with poverty for children making a big impression. Interesting to see young Canadian taking this initiative, but this is not particularly entertaining.

I expected to become gripped in horror by child slave labor, but the way this was presented was boring. I couldn't listen to it. I sent it back the next day.
