Amway distributors tout their business as "the best business opportunity in the world." Yet of the five million or so Americans whove been involved over its 40 year history, fewer than 1% have made a profit, and fewer than one-tenth of one percent have established the large incomes that they claim are achievable by all. 
Ruth Carter has written a clear, concise account based on her 15 years of experience as a distributor and five years of insider information as the employee of a Diamond. The book attacks head-on the accusations of deception, cultism, and greed which are so often leveled at the Amway business. Here at last are the reasons why, clearly explained by a former insider. 
Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors takes a serious look at: - a real Diamonds annual income and expenses - what is the "system"? - who makes money in the system? - what is a cult? - why is Amway accused of cultism? 
This book is a must-read for anyone whos ever been involved in Amway, or has suffered the pain of watching loved ones change their personalities and lose their money to the deceptions of an Amway Motivational Organization. "Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors" picks up where "Amway: The Cult of Free Enterprise" and "Fake It Til You Make It!" left off.

Commissioned by Oxfam to mark their fiftieth anniversary, Women of the Dust focuses on an itinerant, all-female workforce gathered on a dusty Delhi construction site. They hail from Rajasthan, where yet again the rains have failed, there is nothing to harvest, and stomachs are empty. The Jamadar (middle man) has brought them here to work for a Delhi 'fat cat' building a large complex in the developing capital.Asha waits to give birth to her first child - she's hoping to travel to her remote village and be with her mother as is the tradition. Her time is near but there is no money. Lali, a child bride wedded at four, awaits life with a husband she cannot recollect. Nisha and Mohini, the privileged Bose sisters, run a rural development programme - they no longer see eye to eye and wonder which way to turn.Ruth Carter's haunting and poetic piece captures the pride and resilience of the workers and questions a system which confines them to a ceaseless cycle of toil.
