Описание: While the success of Disneyland is largely credited to Walt and Roy Disney, there was a third, mostly forgotten dynamo instrumental to the development of the park - fast-talking Texan C. V. Wood. Three Years in Wonderland presents the never-before-told, full story of ""the happiest place on earth."" Using information from over one hundred unpublished interviews, Todd James Pierce lays down the arc of Disneyland's development from an idea to a paragon of entertainment.In the early 1950s, the Disney brothers hired Wood and his team to develop a feasibility study for an amusement park Walt wanted to build in southern California. ""Woody"" quickly became a central figure. In 1954, Roy Disney hired him as Disneyland's first official employee, its first general manager, and appointed him vice president of Disneyland, Inc., where his authority was exceeded only by Walt. A brilliant project manager, Wood was also a con man of sorts. Previously, he had forged his university diploma. A smooth-talker drawn to Hollywood, the first general manager of Disneyland valued money over art. As relations soured between Wood and the Disney brothers, Wood found creative ways to increase his income, leveraging his position for personal fame. Eventually, tensions at the Disney park reached a boiling point, with Walt demanding he be fired.In compelling detail, Three Years in Wonderland lays out the struggles and rewards of building the world's first cinematic theme park and convincing the American public that a $17 million amusement park was the ideal place for a family vacation. The early experience of Walt Disney, Roy Disney, and C. V. Wood is one of the most captivating untold stories in the history of Hollywood. Pierce interviewed dozens of individuals who enjoyed long careers at the Walt Disney Company as well as dozens of individuals who - like C. V. Wood - helped develop the park but then left the company for good once the park was finished. Through much research and many interviews, Three Years in Wonderland offers readers a rare opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women who built the best-known theme park in the world.

Описание: What is wrong with the twelve key elements of economics and it's approximate 61 postulates, theorems, and assumptions? If we take just a slice of history, a history that repeats itself, the results are enough to prove the failure of economics, as it only benefits a small percent of the whole of humanity. For example, in the past 11 years in the USA there is no empirical evidence of economic laws and regulations having value for nearly 80% of the people of the United States.

In some form or another there has always been formally or informally a Law of Economics. It always results in class, cast, haves and have nots with the individuals that do the work used as slaves, indentured servants, peasants, surfs, or the lower and middle classes. The author's thoughts and contribution to these problems of the LOE / Economic Science and America's side stepping the protection of all its citizens have been included in this book. Also included are thoughts, statements, examples, and consequences of the path we are on, if nothing is to be done.

Any solution will require rethinking the roles of jobs and worker's contribution overall, as part of a conscience-driven process of playing fair. Many of those who prosper, or do not prosper from the law of economics sincerely believe in a false notion as expressed in the Book of Mormon. In this example a non-believer is speaking against the idea of Godly attributes or our universal attributes, and it indicates the path taken by them justifying their barbarous actions.

The lack of analysis of the issue stems from everyone being infatuated by the dream, called the American dream. The dream no longer means having your own home and family. Rather it is a selfish dream that one day all will be subject to their desires and make riches come true for them individually, even if it is at the expense of everyone else.
