      In the book, Lewis D. Solomon develops the theme that the profit motive can serve as a powerful force for social good in developing nations, making a difference in the lives of those trapped in misery and helping millions out of poverty. After focusing on three US-based venture capital-like firms, the book presents evidence that for-profit corporations, many indigenous, funded in part by these capital providers have alleviated global poverty. These investee firms, which seek both financial and social returns, serve the impoverished by delivering critically needed but affordable goods and services, including quality education, preventive healthcare, light and power, and enhanced agricultural productivity.

      The Quest for Human Longevity
    • Lewis D. Solomon gilt als einer der angesehensten Kabbala-Experten in den USA. Er verfügt über umfassende Kenntnisse der verschiedenen Überlieferungsstränge und ihrer modernen Repräsentanten. Die Kabbalisten haben seit vielen Jahrhunderten in zahlreichen Ländern ein umfassendes Wissen über das Mysterium von Tod und Wiedergeburt gesammelt. Solomon enthüllt in seinem tiefsinnigen Werk viele dieser teilweise lange verborgenen Lehren und weist damit nach, dass die abendländische Tradition ein Wissen über das Leben nach dem Tod besitzt, das in keiner Weise geringer einzuschätzen ist als die alte östliche Weisheitslehre. Ein Meisterschlüssel zur kabbalistischen Tradition, der zahlreiche bisher unbekannte mystische Juwelen erstmals ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit rückt.
