In 2002, World of Books was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet, and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less. Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash. Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time. A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!

From the publisher
From the jacket flap
While the world is much wealthier than it was 100, 50, or even 20 years ago, it is no secret that this wealth has not been distributed equally. Importantly, a racial wealth gap between Black and white communities persists, with Black people having significantly lower net worths than their white counterparts.
In The Opportunity Index, BlackRock Managing Director and co-founder of the #Talkaboutblack movement, Gavin Lewis, insightfully explains the origins of the racial wealth gap and its impact on the inequities facing the Black community today. He weaves a personal and moving narrative with a discussion of some of the most disruptive events of our time, offering a roadmap for businesses and people seeking to understand the risks and opportunities presented by inequality.
The book is an urgent call to action to address the root causes of the racial wealth gap. Lewis outlines the effects of this wealth gap on society, health, and opportunity and provides actionable solutions to address them. The author's perspective goes beyond the typical workplace discussions and explores deeper truths about society and the role of capitalism in perpetuating inequality.
You'll discover lessons from the Black Lives Matter, Me Too, and climate change movements, and how these forms of social activism can provide case studies for real and lasting change.
A startlingly insightful treatment of what equity and access mean in the context of international finance at the highest levels, The Opportunity Index will earn a spot on the bookshelves of finance professionals, business leaders, teachers, community leaders, diversity, equity, and inclusion professionals, and anyone invested in a more fair and just world.
