Este artigo tem por principal objetivo analisar o como e o que se diz da leitura, especialmente no tocante à leitura como lugar privilegiado de engendramento de efeitos de sucesso. Para tanto, recenseamos algumas importantes concepções de leitura e suas respectivas relações com a formação do leitor e cotejamo-las com os dizeres contemporâneos sobre o referido objeto, a fim de viabilizar os diferentes trajetos entre a leitura como “gesto de ler o mundo” e como “ascensão econômica”. Para tal empreendimento, utilizaremos o referencial teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso de linha pecheutiana para compreendermos como tais dizeres sobre a leitura formam uma rede de sentidos (sobre o livro, a leitura e especificamente a literatura de autoajuda) que se entrecruzam de tal forma a transformar a leitura em um objeto indispensável para que o sujeito-leitor seja bem-sucedido. Como corpus, analisamos, em filigrana, os dizeres da matéria publicada pela revista-online, Época negócios, intitulada O hábito que ajudou Bill Gates, Warren Buffett e Oprah Winfrey alcançarem o sucesso, de 10 de agosto de 2016, bem como outros recortes de diferentes veículos midiáticos, com vistas a apontar como essas redes de sentidos funcionam para construir efeitos de sucesso.

Nationality Differences

A total of 253 British and 318 American students were asked to make various estimates of overall intelligence as well as Gardner's (1999a) new list of 10 multiple intelligences. They made these estimations (11 in all) for themselves, their partner, and for various well-known figures such as Prince Charles, Tony Blair, Bill Gates, and Bill Clinton. Following previous research there were various sex and nationality differences in self-estimated IQ: Males rated themselves higher on verbal, logical, spatial, and spiritual IQ compared to females. Females rated their male partner as having lower verbal and spiritual, but higher spatial IQ than was the case when males rated their female partners. Participants considered Bill Clinton (2 points) and Prince Charles (5 points) less intelligent than themselves, but Tony Blair (5 points) and Bill Gates (15 points) more intelligent than themselves. Multiple regressions indicated that the best predictors of one's overall IQ estimates were logical, verbal, existential, and spatial IQ. Factor analysis of the 10 and then 8 self-estimated scores did not confirm Gardner's classification of multiple intelligences. Results are discussed in terms of the growing literature in the self-estimates of intelligence, as well as limitations of that approach.

Tax Cuts

Bill Gates recently argued that philanthropy by households at the top of the income distribution might help ameliorate income inequality, and that tax policies should take this into account. Much of the research in economics on giving has been focused on middle-income households, so we know very little about the motives for giving by the very rich. We provide some initial evidence on what drives the giving of the richest Americans. First, we extrapolate anthropological evidence on how status concerns might influence philanthropy. Second, since the richest own a significant amount of equity, we use the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003 to see how their giving responded to unanticipated tax cuts, particularly for dividends. Third, we consider the welfare implications of philanthropy as opposed to alternative models for redistributing the wealth of the extremely rich.
