4. Unequal price of collector's edition
Columbia University joseph stiglitz
Sweep the bestseller list and subvert your institutional illusion.
Although 1% of ethnic minorities enjoy the best housing, the best education, the best doctors and the best lifestyle, there is one thing that money can't buy, that is, they realize that their destiny is tied to the majority of the 99%. Throughout history, this 1% group will eventually understand this truth, but they often understand it too late. Professor Stiglitz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, visited ordinary people all over the world and exchanged ideas with them. He found that the source of dissatisfaction is the same in both east and west, that is, the economic and political systems of these countries have failed in many aspects, and both of them are quite unfair. This has given birth to a new global trend-serving the public.

Dylan, a single-parent girl, is 15 years old, but the world is in chaos: she always has nothing to say to her mother, and she is often teased by her classmates at school, and her only good friend who can talk to her has left because of her transfer. All this made Dylan feel extremely painful.
She decided to visit her long-lost father. However, a traffic accident happened on the road. After she climbed out of the train wreck in despair, she was horrified to find that she seemed to be the only survivor, but in front of her, it was a wasteland. At this time, Dylan saw a boy on the hillside not far away. The boy took her away from the scene of the accident. However, Dylan soon realized that the boy was not an accidental passerby, and he seemed to be waiting here on purpose. From the moment they met, their fate changed unpredictably. ...
A brief introduction to the author of The Ferry Man

Her works are often full of touching feelings in unexpected plot structure, which runs through life thinking and human monologues.

The background of the novel The Ferry Man
Claire Mcfall is a middle school teacher. Readers think Dylan's image comes from her students, but Claire says it comes more from herself, especially that wasteland is her own wasteland. At the same time, the author Claire Mcfall said that the inspiration for writing this book comes from the combination of her curiosity about "what will happen after death" and the story of the ferryman in hades in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Ka Rong Caron was a boatman in the underworld. He not only ferried on the Styx, but also shouldered the task of distinguishing between the dead and the living who should not enter the underworld. In the novel, Tristan also continues this ability to distinguish. Although they all completed the work of ferryman dutifully, he also had a judgment on the purity of the soul he escorted. Of course, purely speaking, Clare's definition of Dylan seems to be a mixture of idealism and excessive traditional colors-Dylan is not only sincere and kind, but also a "virgin" soul that can make the devil feel like enjoying a feast. It seems strange to associate virginity with the purity of the soul, which is not common among western writers. I don't know whether it is Claire's lament about the lack of good girls today or the limitations of some traditional ideas.
