In this exhilarating celebration of human ingenuity and perseverance—published all around the world—a trailblazing Italian scholar sifts through our cultural and social behavior in search of the origins of our greatest invention: writing. The L where a tabletop meets the legs, the T between double doors, the D of an armchair’s oval backrest—all around us is an alphabet in things. But how did these shapes make it onto the page, never mind form complex structures such as this sentence? In The Greatest Invention, Silvia Ferrara takes a profound look at how—and how many times—human beings have managed to produce the miracle of written language, traveling back and forth in time and all across the globe to Mesopotamia, Crete, China, Egypt, Central America, Easter Island, and beyond. With Ferrara as our guide, we examine the enigmas of undeciphered scripts, including famous cases like the Phaistos Disk and the Voynich Manuscript; we touch the knotted, colored strings of the Inca quipu; we study the turtle shells and ox scapulae that bear the earliest Chinese inscriptions; we watch in awe as Sequoyah single-handedly invents a script for the Cherokee language; and we venture to the cutting edge of decipherment, in which high-powered laser scanners bring tears to an engineer’s eye. A code-cracking tour around the globe, The Greatest Invention chronicles a previously uncharted journey, one filled with past flashes of brilliance, present-day scientific research, and a faint, fleeting glimpse of writing’s future.

My career and expertise in political scientist’s work have led me to examine our current US political system, which is a duopoly, as a republican democracy, meaning we elect one of two major political parties (Democrats or Republicans) as representatives, who vote on US government laws, policies, oversight, budget, war, entitlements, etc. Again, my job is to examine our entire US political system. Note, all the problems within our current US political system, replace each problem with an alternative solution for all root-cause problems within our republic, a democracy, and our representatives. So I invented a new, modern independent US political system, Direct Democracy, which I named the PPP system, which means People’s Political Party system, where US citizen voters have new citizenship duties, including the transformation of modern education and Direct Democracy, where each US citizen voter replaces US government Congress work, which will now be done by US voters, who are paid a yearly salary of $44,444. Each US citizen voter receives Direct Democracy transformation phone app (2024); plus, US voters receive 1 percent Congress plans of health care. Now, each US voter in Direct Democracy is transformed into the 1 percent in 2024 and controls Direct Democracy committee assignments that were controlled by Congress, now controlled by US voters, firing Congress in 2024 forever—all by Direct Democracy (DD)! Each US Voter will receive a check on April 30th 2025 at tax time by Direct Democracy Enterprize Pays each voter thru Modern Social Security Checks & Is yearly Salary For Each US Citizen by, "Infused Capitalism", means US Government & Necessary Businesses are created that profit each US Citizen. For example: US Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Creates low cost medicine & all profits thru infused capitalism provides US New Self sustained Modern Direct Democracy New US Independent Political System I invented; so each US Citizen Prospers & Inherits their American Dreams starts 2024.

The world’s principal measure of the health of economies is gross domestic product, or GDP: the sum of what all of us spend every day, from the contents of our weekly shopping to large capital spending by businesses. GDP also includes the myriad things that our governments pay for, from libraries and road-line painting to naval dockyards and nuclear weapons.The Great Invention reveals how in just a few decades GDP became the world’s most powerful formula: how six algebraic symbols forged in the fires of the 1930's economic crisis helped Europe and America prosper, how the remedy now risks killing the patient it once saved, and how this fundamentally flawed metric is creating the illusion of global prosperity—and why many world leaders want to be able to ignore it but so far remain powerless to do so. Drawing on interviews, firsthand accounts, and previously neglected source materials, The Great Invention takes readers on a journey from Capitol Hill to Whitehall—on the trail of theories made in Cambridge, tested in Karachi, and designed for global application—into the minds of unworldly geniuses seduced by the allure of power and the demands of politics.
