What does it mean to be Psychologically Unemployable? Becoming an entrepreneur means learning a new set of life skills that will allow business men and women to hone their craft so that they can get paid what the free market bears from the value and service they bring to the marketplace. The game of free enterprise and entrepreneurship is really the game of the businessperson's life, and the question is: Are they ready to play? Are they ready to start? When the whistle blows, be ready to take off from the starting line or be left sitting on the bench tying shoes? Be ready to get in the game of free enterprise. Play for high stakes -- freedom, dreams and a quality life!

The role of instant millionaire is an elusive status often written and fantasized about but rarely achieved. In The Bathrobe Millionaire, author Jason Yelowitz tells his personal story of how he got rich overnight and realized his dream of swapping the corporate life for one of financial and emotional freedom. Peppered with humor, this memoir provides insights into the hazards and rewards of start-up businesses. Yelowitz shares his mistakes as an entrepreneur and the lessons learned, and he reveals his secret to financial success. He dispenses counterintuitive advice about what it takes to earn a lot of money and demonstrates these essential points: You shouldn't fall in love with your own business idea. Work and pay don't need to be derived from the same activity. It's best not to tell people about the business you're starting. Every start-up business should have a stop loss. It's better to start a business with less money rather than more. The concept of quit early, quit often makes sense. You should start a business alone, even if you need a partner. In The Bathrobe Millionaire, Yelowitz proves that the laws of business sometimes defy gravity.

Who are those at the bottom of society? There has been much discussion in recent years, on both Left and Right, about the existence of an alleged 'underclass' in both Britain and the USA. It has been claimed this group lives outside the mainstream of society, is characterised by crime, suffers from long-term unemployment and single parenthood, and is alienated from its core values. John Welshman shows that there have always been concerns about an 'underclass', whether constructed as the 'social residuum' of the 1880s, the 'problem family' of the 1950s or the 'cycle of deprivation' of the 1970s. There are marked differences between these concepts, but also striking continuities. Indeed a concern with an 'underclass' has in many ways existed as long as an interest in poverty itself. This book is the first to look systematically at the question, providing new insights into contemporary debates about behaviour, poverty and welfare reform. This new edition of the pioneering text has been updated throughout and includes brand new chapters on 'Problem Families' and New Labour as well as 'Troubled Families' and the Coalition Government. It is a seminal work for anyone interested in the social history of Britain and the Welfare State.
