Kingonomics: Twelve Innovative Currencies for Transforming Your Business and Life Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Transform your business with inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a revolutionary and progressive thinker who changed American history and society for the better. King’s sweeping dream of equality and freedom for all is well known around the world, but you may not realize just how keenly focused he was on economic issues and the belief that economic inequality kept minorities out of influential positions and handicapped them financially. It was while King was planning the Poor People’s March, a dramatic stand on economic issues, that his life was taken from him and his voice was forever silenced.
Like King once asked, “Where do we go from here?” The answer lies in Kingonomics , a 21st–century interpretation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision, translated through the eyes of Rodney Sampson, a globally established economic innovator, business developer, and highly successful serial entrepreneur. Focusing on free enterprise as the ideal environment to practice King’s teachings, Sampson has created a 12-currency guide through which you can realize your full potential as an individual and as part of a greater movement.
More than 10 years later, the lessons in Kingonomics are more relevant than ever. This groundbreaking book challenges America’s individualistic and profit-focused business mentality in favor of collaboration, diversity, and equal opportunity—and explains why and how this approach can create abundant success for all.

Great book. It should be well known that in his later years, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was keenly focused on economic issues. He believed that economic opportunity was key to racial fairness and overall happiness. In his final book, "Where Do We Go From Here: Community or Chaos", Dr. King posed the question with a very powerful intellectual insightfulness. In his book, "Kingonomics: Twelve Innovative Currencies for Transforming Your Business and Life", Rodney Sampson's book provides an analysis based on the organization of the civil rights movement to answer the question where we could go and how to build the foundation.

*I was fortunate to win an advance copy of this book through Goodreads' First Reads.
Kingnomics starts with the premise that internal success creates external success. It then goes on to explain 12 different ways you can improve your life and become more positive, thus leading you to make positive and successful choices with a clear mind. It was certainly an interesting read, and only time will tell if the methods work.
However, the methods are explained well and logic based, so I believe they will.
If you are looking to turn your life around, find success (business or personal), or just be inspired, I recommend reading Kingnomics.
