Università di Bologna. The cabinets ranged in size from a dedicated piece of furniture with multiple drawers to an entire room. Drawers and shelves housed original objects acquired through long journeys to faraway places. Every object offered an opportunity to tell a story about an epic adventure or, more often, to fabricate one. Like everyone else, the wealthy liked to define their personalities through the possession of glamorous objects as tangible tokens of their intelligence, erudition, wealth, and taste. They had already understood that precious objects held power over people and that associations between luxury items and personality engraved long-lasting impressions.

With it came other new institutions, like non-profit organisations, research laboratories and an expanded government bureaucracy. Electrified forms of communication, like the telegram, radio and telephone, enabled instant coordination across many miles, in turn facilitating the coordination of business and government across vast geographic areas. Contiguous parasitism had captured energy from Indigenous societies and native wild and domestic species. Disparate parasitism, meanwhile, had captured energy from Indigenous societies, imperial subjects, and both exotic wild and intensively domesticated species abroad. The new form, networked parasitism, captured energy from all these as well, but with the addition of ancient species of plant and animal in the form of fossils. This enabled concrete energy capture through increasing electrification and then the digitisation of extraction and production, and abstract energy capture from extremely large, dense populations of urban subjects. Though the foundations for this system were built in the nineteenth century, it was only in the twentieth that it came to dominate. The term that emerged to encompass the totality of this interdependent network of networks was ‘the economy’. Economist Giorgos Kallis notes that the idea that we have today about the economy as a large, interconnected system emerged at this time.[1] As parasitic relations became an interconnected global process, it made sense to understand that process, measure it and attempt to direct it with a concept like the economy. The narratives that arose in attempting to shape the present and future of human-ecological parasitism were no longer just theological, no longer just rational or secular, nor even just scientistic, but were now economistic. They focused entirely on frameworks and models measuring the exchange of resources through the systems of extraction, production, distribution and waste that crisscrossed the world. Everything – values, morals, priorities, aspirations – became about ‘the economy’ and how it was to be ordered, its spoils distributed, its mechanics governed. The ideologies that sprang up at the turn of the twentieth century are all about who gets to steer the great steamship of a new kind of parasitism, rather than, say, whether there ought to be a steamship at all.

Waves of hungry peasants fled across the Atlantic to the United States, with so many dying en route that it was said, "you could walk dry shod to America on their bodies." In this sweeping history Ireland's best-known historian, Tim Pat Coogan, tackles the dark history of the Irish Famine and argues that it constituted one of the first acts of genocide. In what The Boston Globe calls "his greatest achievement," Coogan shows how the British government hid behind the smoke screen of laissez faire economics, the invocation of Divine Providence and a carefully orchestrated publicity campaign, allowing more than a million people to die agonizing deaths and driving a further million into emigration. Unflinching in depicting the evidence, Coogan presents a vivid and horrifying picture of a catastrophe that that shook the nineteenth century and finally calls to account those responsible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/9cfc7e22-1dde-432b-b62d-efe1a4d34c8e/Marx+Anthropocene.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism Capitalism, Nature and the Unfinished Critique of Political Economy by Kohei Saito New York: Monthly Review Press, 2017. Marx in the Anthropocene Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism by Kohei Saito Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022. El capital en la era del antropoceno by Kohei Saito, translated by Víctor Illera Kanaya, Barcelona: Sine Qua Non, 2022. Kohei Saito has become an essential voice in the debates about Marxism and ecosocialism. His books deal with four key issues: the relation between capitalism and nature; the relation between ecology and socialism; the agents and means of attaining ecosocialism (or degrowth communism); and the evolution of Marx’s views regarding these issues. Regarding the first question, Saito argues that capitalism, driven by the incessant pursuit of private profit, is incapable of relating to nature responsibly and rationally. It inevitably alters the latter to the point of endangering the survival of many species, including our own. The climate crisis is the most pressing example of this. But many other instances could be added. In that sense, the Green New Deal, to the extent that it envisages a green capitalism, is insufficient. Nothing short of the abolition of capitalism can adequately address the climate emergency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/9122023d-490a-4ddf-86d0-38fb013c0ea5/Witches+n+Woman.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/14cc8f84-cf11-4bbc-affd-fbb248947352/Theory+Leisue+Class+.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Here is a good place to reflect on “Conspicuous Consumption.

In particular, how we can understand the uncanny continuity of American foreign policy, the breakdown of the rule of law, and the extreme concentration of wealth and power into an overworld of the corporate rich. To trace the evolution of the American state, the author takes a deep politics approach, shedding light on those political practices that are typically repressed in “mainstream” discourse. In its long history before World War II, the US had a deep political system—a system of governance in which decision-making and enforcement were carried out within—and outside of—public institutions. It was a system that always included some degree of secretive collusion and law-breaking. After World War II, US elites decided to pursue global dominance over the international capitalist system. Setting aside the liberal rhetoric, this project was pursued in a manner that was by and large imperialistic rather than progressive. To administer this covert empire, US elites created a massive national security state characterized by unprecedented levels of secrecy and lawlessness. The “Global Communist Conspiracy” provided a pretext for exceptionism—an endless “exception” to the rule of law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f4bd6c7e-40ad-4df0-a136-5f5b3751d147/Capitalism%27s+Crowbar.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/cc19bb27-3867-4be5-b358-4afcdd9b879c/Gorrelaphant+Bball.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/64fd8607-23c4-430a-99a2-6df09fa0fca1/Screenshot+2026-01-22+at+15.20.15.png Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out The Polycrisis & Policy Brief Series is coordinated by the Policy Work Package which is part of the PolyCIVIS Network.

Originally published in 1981 and re-released in a lightly-revised edition in May, After Man is the foundational entry in the field of “speculative zoology,” where writers and artists play with ideas about what kind of world evolution might produce if humanity were to disappear. The book is a fully illustrated bestiary of future animals, complete with field sketches, detailed paintings and thorough explorations of their ecology. In the pollution-ridden 1980s, it offered both an arresting vision of the future and a glimmer of hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/03fd35d8-7014-490e-b2ca-98a5907ea42b/a+happy+death.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/3dadfc76-8cea-425c-b3b1-bae59f56769d/lord-of-the-flies-1.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/70d8c7be-f382-4962-a6e3-0ba0a7fa457e/Oswaldo-Vigas.-Antolo%CC%81gica-1943%E2%80%932013.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Oswaldo Vigas—Antológica—1943–2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f15236f4-a37f-4ff7-897d-8f7b7fbfc99d/Screenshot+2026-01-20+at+15.54.49.png Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out William Rees on Substack https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/4f695e60-53ea-4341-bd0d-f8faa56c51e8/Screenshot+2026-01-20+at+15.59.45.png Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/a101b9b5-83fb-4f1a-b5a3-e50eedbbad0f/Pareconon.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Participatory economics, ‘parecon’ for short ?

From the siloed realities of QAnon to the echo-chambered algorithms that reinforce them, “alternative facts” seem to define the undefined era. Collective agreement on even the most basic propositional knowledge seems suddenly at risk. 2 + 2 doesn’t necessarily equal 4 and Earth isn’t necessarily round. Yet while most agree that the breakdown is happening, there is, fittingly, little agreement as to why. Some say secularism and its erosion of the lulling certainties of the mythic has caused a collective schizography. Others says postmodernist distrust in institutionalized truth is to blame. Such assessments are inherently prescriptive (if fairly contradictory): return to some variety of the mythic, or rebuild trust in common truth. Both assessments make plenty of sense. But they seem to miss the biggest wrench in the spokes. For the reality (if I may borrow a term from yesterday), is far less academic – and far more bewildering. The New Age movement has rarely been considered a substantial factor in political power writ large. In its tropes of séance and crystals and clownish hippiness, it seemed to sequester itself to certain Californian fringes, its perceived impacts relegated to yoga pants and digital detoxes. Of the few thinkers who demonstrated comprehension of the true ubiquity and power of New Ageism, Slavoj Zizek had the likeliest chance to convince us. From his co-authored The Monstrosity of Christ: Paradox or Dialectic: “The reason for this (New Age) shift of accent from religious institution to the intimacy of spiritual experience is that such a meditation is the ideological form that best fits today’s global capitalism.” Unfortunately, the world made the identical mistake of finding him, too, clownish for saying so. In all its apparent innocuity, New Ageism thus bloomed into the mainframe of the western operation with astonishing ease, unthwarted by whatever enfeebled criticism of it broke through. So when, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noticed that a peculiar overlap began to emerge between QAnon and New Age communities on Facebook, common wisdom presumed that the New Age crowd and its seeming penchant for naivety had been unwittingly coopted by the Right. That was the wrong assumption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/2cc11201-00b3-4ad8-842e-e3687737ddfc/Alice+Evens+Patri.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems -

Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out A watershed book that masterfully integrates insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and more to explore the development and workings of human societies “There is no good reason why human societies should not be described and explained with the same precision and success as the rest of nature.” Thus argues evolutionary psychologist Pascal Boyer in this uniquely innovative book. Integrating recent insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and other fields, Boyer offers precise models of why humans engage in social behaviors such as forming families, tribes, and nations, or creating gender roles. In fascinating, thought-provoking passages, he explores questions such as, Why is there conflict between groups? Why do people believe low-value information such as rumors? Why are there religions? What is social justice? What explains morality? Boyer provides a new picture of cultural transmission that draws on the pragmatics of human communication, the constructive nature of memory in human brains, and human motivation for group formation and cooperation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c2914dd5-a52f-4404-8d1e-672a5475c280/Debt+5000.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/bf68dd6a-68a5-4f0e-b007-86fc92cf6575/Indig.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/5e36789b-aa59-4634-9dd2-a82e7a10fb08/Willing+Slaves.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/3512df2b-c6e4-49aa-941f-e92a59db8284/RuttMVM.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/89a2063e-ae73-45ef-834f-9d0399b7e710/ObjIdeal.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/35c6c768-f793-4b70-97ea-64251172b985/Every+THING.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/69a89d5e-143d-4893-ba68-5af54c9f4031/Wall+Bull.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/b0d91a2e-b076-421d-920c-ba5487fd65b5/Blissed+Kids.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/dfc189d0-82a7-450c-a568-f93dce2b3024/society-of-the-spectacle.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out The Society of the Spectacle is a 1967 work of philosophy and Marxist critical theory by Guy Debord where he develops and presents the concept of the Spectacle.

Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out How everything from the price of food to energy and housing costs is fixed by remote, unregulated financial markets, and what can be done about it The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/edf5b9bc-d3c0-4755-afb5-b45700cdd21d/Screenshot+2026-01-25+at+19.02.05.png Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out The modern era of climate change research began at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and today Scripps is a global leader in observing how our planet is changing, understanding impacts, finding solutions, and training the next generation of scientific and environmental leaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/3c9042af-4d61-46d8-b4cf-076714390a64/anthropocenegraphic.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/ad9adcb5-a3e4-451b-bbbe-5ea76dfd93d8/Death+Monkey.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out AGSI looking in the mirror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/7cc3fa94-b4f3-4411-977d-96b2cd600119/rosa+luxem.png Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/0cdd0e47-370f-42f0-a1d7-f27adf30e0bf/Ref+Rev.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Capitalist Cabinet of Curiosities: Perspectives on Capitalist Culture, Coding, and The Pathologies of Market Systems - Make it stand out A polemic writing by the famous “Red Rosa” Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution (1899), explains why capitalism can never overcome its internal contradictions. An effective refutation of revisionist interpretations of Marxist doctrine, it defines the position of scientific socialism on social reforms, the state, democracy, and the character of the proletarian revolution. Reform or Revolution opposes Edward Bernstein’s revisionist theories, which rejected Marxism in favor of trade unionism and parliamentary procedures. Luxemburg offers articulate and reasoned objections to all of Bernstein’s arguments. She defends the necessity of socialism, which provides an answer to the contradictions and inevitable crisis of the capitalist economy, as well as a means for transforming working-class consciousness. This essay remains a key explanation of why there can be no parliamentary road to socialism. It appears here together with Luxemburg’s writings on “Leninism or Marxism,” “The Mass Strike,” and “The Russian Revolution.” https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/11/5/master-space-based-info-systems-amp-drones-or-die monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/81bcc8fc-e7e3-4db5-82bc-9067478a9126/Rosie.webp Globe Hackers Blog - Master Space-Based Info-Systems & Drones Or Die - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c52db8d6-35d1-4fbf-96c3-3bfdb19dea36/War+is+the+force.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Master Space-Based Info-Systems & Drones Or Die - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f258989f-0ea7-4343-92d8-2f2c6a8b8061/Real+Man+and+Woman.png Globe Hackers Blog - Master Space-Based Info-Systems & Drones Or Die - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/10/4/ethnocracy-civilization-amp-population-bottlenecks monthly 0.5 2025-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f37bac9b-2273-41d9-8543-0dd0f9e18d1c/whitesonly.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Ethnocracy, Civilization & States of Nature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/ac7fab5c-4f3e-476b-b919-67f87e1af5a9/win+friends.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Ethnocracy, Civilization & States of Nature - Make it stand out My way is different, but this still sells in a million iterations worldwide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/2187781f-232c-4e02-b11a-391dcfc0f4fa/Vital+Question.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Ethnocracy, Civilization & States of Nature - Make it stand out Why is life the way it is? Bacteria evolved into complex life just once in four billion years of life on earth-and all complex life shares many strange properties, from sex to ageing and death. If life evolved on other planets, would it be the same or completely different? In The Vital Question, Nick Lane radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a cogent solution to conundrums that have troubled scientists for decades. The answer, he argues, lies in energy: how all life on Earth lives off a voltage with the strength of a bolt of lightning. In unravelling these scientific enigmas, making sense of life's quirks, Lane's explanation provides a solution to life's vital questions: why are we as we are, and why are we here at all? This is ground-breaking science in an accessible form, in the tradition of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, and Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/8420aa92-ea4b-4e31-9f14-05c7919edf5b/The+West+New+History.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Ethnocracy, Civilization & States of Nature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/8e602793-159b-4ac2-b045-52d873fe0b51/Anchorage+View1.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Ethnocracy, Civilization & States of Nature - Make it stand out A view from a anchorage near Turkey.

The more of ourselves exist in the apparatus, the more agency we offload to it. The radical rejection of technology is simply not an option on a planet of 8 billion. Individual efforts to avoid using modern communication technology are quixotic and ultimately self-destructive, as Stafford Beer’s descent into pastoral mysticism illustrates. The best path I see requires something like his approach to effective communication and governance, to think of engineering a society which produces human freedom while ensuring homeostatic stability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c696eb52-eb49-43ec-933b-d399a767a97c/2018_34_control_room_obs.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Control Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/beb861bb-7421-4bfe-b512-9cd5fc8873eb/coup.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/94464124-4aee-4254-82e8-e47001121ced/Capital+21.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f7eb7adb-2bb7-4c9a-9def-65382a6a6cc3/Goliath%27s+Curse.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out For the first 300,000 years of human history, hunter-gathering Homo sapiens lived in fluid, egalitarian civilizations that thwarted any individual or group from ruling permanently. Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change. As we reluctantly congregated in the first farms and cities, people began to rely on novel lootable resources like grain and fish for their daily sustenance. And when more powerful weapons became available, small groups began to seize control of these valuable commodities. This inequality in resources soon tipped over into inequality in power, and we started to adopt more primal, hierarchical forms of organization. Power was concentrated in masters, kings, pharaohs and emperors (and ideologies were born to justify their rule). Goliath-like states and empires – with vast bureaucracies and militaries – carved up and dominated the globe. What brought them down? Whether in the early cities of Cahokia in North America or Tiwanaku in South America, or the sprawling empires of Egypt, Rome and China, it was increasing inequality and concentrations of power that hollowed these Goliaths out before an external shock brought them crashing down. These collapses were written up as apocalyptic, but in truth they were usually a blessing for most of the population. Now we live in a single global Goliath. Growth obsessed, extractive institutions like the fossil fuel industry, big tech and military-industrial complexes rule our world and produce new ways of annihilating our species, from climate change to nuclear war. Our systems are now so fast, complex and interconnected that a future collapse will likely be global, swift and irreversible. All of us now face a choice: we must learn to democratically control Goliath, or the next collapse may be our last. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/09708f53-e2e1-42ac-9836-00960118c627/Colapse+Complex+Societies.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Any explanation of political collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all complex societies in both the present and future. Dr Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c1b7704f-d881-4848-b8a0-85fb7f4cf608/master+emissary.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Why is the brain divided? The difference between right and left hemispheres has been puzzled over for centuries. Drawing upon a vast body of brain research, the renowned psychiatrist, author, and thinker Iain McGilchrist reveals that the difference between the two sides is profound—two whole, coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing the world. The detail-oriented left hemisphere prefers mechanisms to living things and is inclined to self-interest, while the right hemisphere has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity. In the second part of his book, McGilchrist takes the reader on a journey through the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension between these two worlds as revealed in the thought and belief of thinkers and artists from the ancient to the modern, from Aeschylus to Magritte. He ultimately argues that, despite its inferior grasp of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence in today’s world—with potentially disastrous consequences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/24c0f94c-903b-4343-bfa5-d94e4abce933/antisocial+media.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out If you wanted to build a machine that would distribute propaganda to millions of people, distract them from important issues, energize hatred and bigotry, erode social trust, undermine respectable journalism, foster doubts about science, and engage in massive surveillance all at once, you would make something a lot like Facebook. Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In this fully updated paperback edition of Antisocial Media, including a new chapter on the increasing recognition of--and reaction against--Facebook's power in the last couple of years, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that, while it may make personal life just a little more pleasurable, makes democracy a lot more challenging. It's an account of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit, and an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems. And it's an indictment of how "social media" has fostered the deterioration of democratic culture around the world, from facilitating Russian meddling in support of Trump's election to the exploitation of the platform by murderous authoritarians in Burma and the Philippines. Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows how Facebook's mission went so wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/5c746cfe-3c41-42ed-bcc8-4d8e22523604/heroes+thousand+faces.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/8c585189-272d-4b57-93ca-9f1031030b11/Othman+Ghalmi%2C+Where+Can+I+Find+Peace%2C+2022.++.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/059db8f7-686f-4004-8343-bdc97677d77c/7+lessons+brain.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Recursive Democracy: Intellectual Antecedents, Tenebility, Pathways to Mass Adoption, Desirability, and Brainhacked Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/9/12/what-is-chega-and-who-is-ventura monthly 0.5 2025-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/32264fce-29eb-425c-a01b-64c9e155e179/portugal-map.gif Globe Hackers Blog - What is Chega and Who is Ventura? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/the-post-growth-manifesto monthly 0.5 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/33e98867-77e1-4fec-8bfa-94f6190b9815/permaculture.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/931b75a0-0811-43c0-88e0-79ce42136474/Overshoot.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/a65fbc0f-b128-473a-b527-16b76397cda7/Sixth+Extinction.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f80004e6-b7d5-4c27-999e-76d3a6c5915b/Screenshot+2025-08-27+at+08.38.55.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/6c701306-2342-4e8d-8f7a-11fbb29b735e/Screenshot+2025-08-27+at+08.42.38.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/3dcf7b1d-6644-4143-82dd-31ab75666566/Screenshot+2025-08-26+at+10.01.58.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Planetary Boundaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/44ed0419-405d-4105-bdb1-80b7b158c196/Screenshot+2025-08-26+at+10.00.57.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d90b01e2-2237-4944-90e2-f5985c5fff9a/Screenshot+2025-08-27+at+08.45.12.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d918d807-1e0e-4107-a930-cb6ad208ae7a/Jevons.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out When the cost of using a resource decreases due to increased efficiency, it becomes more attractive for consumers and industries to utilise it. Consequently, this increased affordability leads to higher consumption and can potentially offset the initial gains in efficiency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/25d63bcf-e8d0-45e2-bb35-c794e0dc5528/Screenshot+2025-08-27+at+09.09.51.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out The core idea is that natural selection favors designs that increase the rate at which energy flows through a system, making it more effective at capturing and transforming energy from its environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/ac2eec94-0367-480e-aa55-189e067a147f/cap+ideology.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out All markets are shaped by inequality of bargaining power, but for workers, tenants, consumers and small investors unequal power is systematic. Unequal bargaining power comes firstly from unequal distribution of resources, protected by our laws of property, contract, corporations, taxes and more. Second, bargaining power is driven by differences in collective organisation. Third, there are differences of information. Supply and demand merely set outer constraints on prices (the lowest a seller will go, the highest a buyer will pay if they can go elsewhere), and the actual place where a deal is struck depends on the actors’ power. If we chart unequal bargaining power with supply/demand, instead of lines and a single equilibrium point, there are bands and a range of ‘equilibrium’ outcomes (in the central diamond): https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/08881013-4093-4cff-9557-532b9e4a7e95/tools+coviv.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/fea59e5e-5aeb-45c8-91b5-4c99c9ad07d8/Inuit+qulliq+lamp.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/6a4a6089-d5fe-469e-ac38-1900ca5d87f0/contrast.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/e2b41783-82c0-4c8b-b5b8-7ce4788666c3/Screenshot+2025-08-27+at+09.40.07.png Globe Hackers Blog - The Post-Growth Manifesto: Re-Indigenizing Our Relationship with the Earth - Make it stand out I highly recommend Erik Michaels’ Blog.

But it was only in Ireland, then part of the United Kingdom, that the blight’s devastation reached apocalyptic levels, leaving more than a million people dead and forcing millions more to emigrate. In Rot, historian Padraic X. Scanlan offers the definitive account of the Great Famine, showing how Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom and the British Empire made it uniquely vulnerable to starvation. Ireland’s overreliance on the potato was a desperate adaptation to an unstable and unequal marketplace created by British colonialism. The empire’s laissez-faire economic policies saw Ireland exporting livestock and grain even as its people starved. When famine struck, relief efforts were premised on the idea that only free markets and wage labor could save the Irish. Ireland’s wretchedness, before and during the Great Famine, was often blamed on Irish backwardness, but in fact, it resulted from the British Empire’s embrace of modern capitalism. Uncovering the disaster’s roots in Britain’s deep imperial faith in markets, commerce, and capitalism, Rot reshapes our understanding of the Great Famine and its tragic legacy. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/4/12/one-small-step-for-tech-bro monthly 0.5 2025-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/7a85be28-58fa-49ff-80b4-634aedf9a44b/Billy+Bass+Tech+Bro+Future.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - One short end of Tech Bro, one giant leap for Tech Bro's Creation! - Make it stand out AI so very, very creative. type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt type prompt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/757de348-4b12-4edc-ab23-5932fee0cabc/AntWolf.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - One short end of Tech Bro, one giant leap for Tech Bro's Creation! - Make it stand out "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/03492c36-f2c7-4415-9f9e-aa9f1dada7e7/toaster+child.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - One short end of Tech Bro, one giant leap for Tech Bro's Creation! - Make it stand out Toaster Child of the Future Today https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d502e1a4-2b79-4a2b-90f8-5d08dc387e25/Intern+Idiot.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - One short end of Tech Bro, one giant leap for Tech Bro's Creation! - Make it stand out The flaws and limitations remind us of what’s real.

The Great Famine fractured long-held assumptions about political economy and 'civilisation', threatening disorder in Britain. Ireland was a laboratory for empire, shaping British ideas about colonisation, population, ecology and work. In Rot, Padraic Scanlan reinterprets the history of this time and the result is a revelatory account of Ireland's Great Famine. In the first half of the nineteenth century, nowhere in Europe - or the world - did the working poor depend as completely on potatoes as in Ireland. To many British observers, potatoes were evidence of a lack of modernity among the Irish. However, Ireland before the famine more closely resembled capitalism's future than its past. While poverty before and during the Great Famine was often blamed on Irish backwardness, it did in fact stem from the British Empire's embrace of modern capitalism. Uncovering the disaster's roots in Britain's deep imperial faith in markets and capitalism, Rot reshapes our understanding of the Famine and its tragic legacy. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/3/10/do-nothing-for-forest-frustration monthly 0.5 2025-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d4a9f554-eaa7-48fa-81dd-c30ab217e8f9/lazy+people.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Do Nothing for Forest Frustration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/2/19/we-can-no-longer-afford-the-cost-of-warnotes monthly 0.5 2025-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c69e9bd0-7284-4b3f-a234-43c7f3b3c4a0/missiles.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - We Can No Longer Afford The Cost Of War—Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d1afcf78-6aa0-481a-93f1-cefc908a2a35/Creating+Russophobia.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - We Can No Longer Afford The Cost Of War—Notes - Make it stand out Why do the USA, UK and Europe so hate Russia? How it is that Western antipathy, once thought due to anti-Communism, could be so easily revived over a crisis in distant Ukraine, against a Russia no longer communist? Why does the West accuse Russia of empire-building, when 15 states once part of the defunct Warsaw Pact are now part of NATO, and NATO troops now flank the Russian border? These are only some of the questions Creating Russophobia iinvestigates. Mettan begins by showing the strength of the prejudice against Russia through the Western response to a series of the Uberlingen mid-air collision, the Beslan hostage- taking, the Ossetia War, the Sochi Olympics and the crisis in Ukraine. He then delves into the historical, religious, ideological and geopolitical roots of the detestation of Russia in various European nations over thirteen centuries since Charlemagne competed with Byzantium for the title of heir to the Roman Empire. Mettan examines the geopolitical machinations expressed in those times through the medium of religion, leading to the great Christian schism between Germanic Rome and Byzantium and the European Crusades against Russian Orthodoxy. This history of taboos, prejudices and propaganda directed against the Orthodox Church provides the mythic foundations that shaped Western disdain for contemporary Russia. From the religious and imperial rivalry created by Charlemagne and the papacy to the genesis of French, English, German and then American Russophobia, the West has been engaged in more or less violent hostilities against Russia for a thousand years. Contemporary Russophobia is manufactured through the construction of an anti-Russian discourse in the media and the diplomatic world, and the fabrication and demonization of The Bad Guy, now personified by Vladimir Putin. Both feature in the meta-narrative, the mythical framework of the ferocious Russian bear ruled with a rod of iron by a vicious president. A synthetic reading of all these elements is presented in the light of recent events and in particular of the Ukrainian crisis and the recent American elections, showing how all the resources of the West’s soft power have been mobilized to impose the tale of bad Russia dreaming of global conquest. “By hating Russia, one hurts oneself. Swiss journalist Guy Mettan pieces together the reasons of detestation of the Kremlin and of a rhetoric that goes back to Napoleonic times despite the long list of aggressions perpetrated in the meantime by the West. And he explains why pushing Moscow toward Asia is a very serious error.” —Panorama, Italy “Like Saddam Hussein’s mythical weapons of massive destruction in 2003, Peter the Great’s fake will has been used to justify the aggressions and invasions that the Europeans, and now the Americans, still carry out against Russia.” —Libération, France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/27d33467-593b-4fc1-92e5-613d4c9beeb8/Man+Broke+Capitalism.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - We Can No Longer Afford The Cost Of War—Notes - Make it stand out In 1981, Jack Welch took over General Electric and quickly rose to fame as the first celebrity CEO. He golfed with presidents, mingled with movie stars, and was idolized for growing GE into the most valuable company in the world. But Welch’s achievements didn’t stem from some greater intelligence or business prowess. Rather, they were the result of a sustained effort to push GE’s stock price ever higher, often at the expense of workers, consumers, and innovation. In this captivating, revelatory book, David Gelles argues that Welch single-handedly ushered in a new, cutthroat era of American capitalism that continues to this day. Gelles chronicles Welch’s campaign to vaporize hundreds of thousands of jobs in a bid to boost profits, eviscerating the country’s manufacturing base, and destabilizing the middle class. Welch’s obsession with downsizing—he eliminated 10% of employees every year—fundamentally altered GE and inspired generations of imitators who have employed his strategies at other companies around the globe. In his day, Welch was corporate America’s leading proponent of mergers and acquisitions, using deals to gobble up competitors and giving rise to an economy that is more concentrated and less dynamic. And Welch pioneered the dark arts of “financialization,” transforming GE from an admired industrial manufacturer into what was effectively an unregulated bank. The finance business was hugely profitable in the short term and helped Welch keep GE’s stock price ticking up. But ultimately, financialization undermined GE and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies. Gelles shows how Welch’s celebrated emphasis on increasing shareholder value by any means necessary (layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, acquisitions, and buybacks, to name but a few tactics) became the norm in American business generally. He demonstrates how that approach has led to the greatest socioeconomic inequality since the Great Depression and harmed many of the very companies that have embraced it. And he shows how a generation of Welch acolytes radically transformed companies like Boeing, Home Depot, Kraft Heinz, and more. Finally, Gelles chronicles the change that is now afoot in corporate America, highlighting companies and leaders who have abandoned Welchism and are proving that it is still possible to excel in the business world without destroying livelihoods, gutting communities, and spurning regulation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/05bd9fc8-a018-4050-bc36-67930e303431/Provoked.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - We Can No Longer Afford The Cost Of War—Notes - Make it stand out Over and over, U.S. government officials and their mainstream media allies called Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine an “unprovoked attack.” The slogan became so overused that people began to ask the obvious question: Why do they protest so much? In Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, Scott Horton explains how since the end of the last Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union, successive U.S. administrations pressed their advantage against the new Russian Federation to the point that it finally blew up into a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. From NATO expansion into Eastern Europe, to “shock therapy” economic policy, the Balkan and Chechen wars, color-coded revolutions, new missile defense systems, assassinations, Russiagate and ultimately the brutal conflict in Ukraine, Provoked shows what really happened and why it did not have to be this way. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/2/6/key-tech-billionaires-and-the-tescreal-bundle monthly 0.5 2025-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/a7e69f49-a433-44cb-8d9a-7e518ca01619/tech+coup.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Key Tech Billionaires and The TESCREAL Bundle - Make it stand out The Power Elite have always been in control.

That’s where we are today with governments, with politics, and with much of the physical world. But perhaps we can change that. This book introduces the concept of the network state: a country you can start from your computer, a state that recruits like a startup, a nation built from the internet rather than disrupted by it. The fundamental concept behind the network state is to assemble a digital community and organize it to crowdfund physical territory. But that territory is not in one place — it’s spread around the world, fully decentralized, hooked together by the internet for a common cause, much like Google’s offices or Bitcoin’s miners. And because every citizen has opted in, it’s a model for 100% democracy rather than the minimum threshold of consent modeled by 51% democracies. Of course, there are countless questions that need to be answered to build something of this scope. How does a network state work socially, technically, logistically, legally, physically, financially? How could such a thing even be viable? That’s why you should read this book. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2025/1/10/why-arent-you-a-revolutionary monthly 0.5 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/acfe3250-98be-440b-a5d9-cf0354e372b6/pedro-lastra-Nyvq2juw4_o-unsplash.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Photo by Pedro Lastra on Unsplash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/e365840d-f76c-4f9c-8f33-d6950ad56007/Mt.philipp-dusel-unsplash.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Photo by Philipp Düsel on Unsplash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/45c45c1d-8120-49b2-895d-a7cf94c90bf3/Trump+Saud.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out The hope is that it will trickle down.

Sway is a thoroughly researched and comprehensive look at unconscious bias and how it impacts day-to-day life, from job interviews to romantic relationships to saving for retirement. It covers a huge number of sensitive topics - sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, colourism - with tact, and combines statistics with stories to paint a fuller picture and enhance understanding. Throughout, Pragya clearly delineates theories with a solid grounding in science, answering questions such as: do our roots for prejudice lie in our evolutionary past? What happens in our brains when we are biased? How has bias affected technology? If we don't know about it, are we really responsible for it? At a time when partisan political ideologies are taking centre stage, and we struggle to make sense of who we are and who we want to be, it is crucial that we understand why we act the way we do. This book will enables us to open our eyes to our own biases in a scientific and non-judgmental way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/f4f55a97-98e6-425f-a8cc-157d22bc3173/Qui+Custodes.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/4f36d274-731d-4cc0-b2ac-49cac4d25b7e/Politics+and+Vision.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Politics and Vision is a landmark work by one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century. This is a significantly expanded edition of one of the greatest works of modern political theory. Sheldon Wolin's Politics and Vision inspired and instructed two generations of political theorists after its appearance in 1960. Substantially expanded for republication in 2004, it is both a sweeping survey of Western political thought and a powerful account of contemporary predicaments of power and democracy. In lucid and compelling prose, Sheldon Wolin offers original, subtle, and often surprising interpretations of political theorists from Plato to Rawls. Situating them historically while sounding their depths, he critically engages their diverse accounts of politics, theory, power, justice, citizenship, and institutions. The new chapters, which show how thinkers have grappled with the immense possibilities and dangers of modern power, are themselves a major theoretical statement. They culminate in Wolin’s remarkable argument that the United States has invented a new political form, "inverted totalitarianism,“ in which economic rather than political power is dangerously dominant. In this expanded edition, the book that helped to define political theory in the late twentieth century should energize, enlighten, and provoke generations of scholars to come. Wolin originally wrote Politics and Vision to challenge the idea that political analysis should consist simply of the neutral observation of objective reality. He argues that political thinkers must also rely on creative vision. Wolin shows that great theorists have been driven to shape politics to some vision of the Good that lies outside the existing political order. As he tells it, the history of theory is thus, in part, the story of changing assumptions about the Good. Acclaimed as a tour de force when it was first published, and a major scholarly event when the expanded edition appeared, Politics and Vision will instruct, inspire, and provoke for generations to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/5e846038-4c74-4bf5-8eb9-46c454cdb76a/the-last-winter-of-the-weimar-republic-9781643138497_xlg.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out A thrilling day-by-day account of the final months of the Weimar Republic, documenting the collapse of democracy in Germany and Hitler’s frightening rise to power. November 1932. With the German economy in ruins and street battles raging between rival political parties, the Weimar Republic is on its last legs. In the halls of the Reichstag, party leaders scramble for power and influence as the elderly president, Paul von Hindenburg, presides over a democracy pushed to the breaking point. Chancellors Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher spin a web of intrigue, vainly hoping to harness the growing popularity of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party while reining in its most extreme elements. These politicians struggle for control of a turbulent city where backroom deals and frightening public rallies alike threaten the country’s fragile democracy, with terrifying consequences for both Germany and the rest of the world. In The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic, Barth and Friedrichs have drawn on a wide array of primary sources to produce a colorful, multi-layered portrait of a period that was by no means predestined to plunge into the abyss, and which now seems disturbingly familiar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/5f8ad293-c286-4fa4-9916-4587225a4da5/decline+west.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Since its first publication in two volumes between 1918-1923, The Decline of the West has ranked as one of the most widely read and most talked about books of our time. In all its various editions, it has sold nearly 100,000 copies. A twentieth-century Cassandra, Oswald Spengler thoroughly probed the origin and "fate" of our civilization, and the result can be (and has been) read as a prophesy of the Nazi regime. His challenging views have led to harsh criticism over the years, but the knowledge and eloquence that went into his sweeping study of Western culture have kept The Decline of the West alive. As the face of Germany and Europe as a whole continues to change each day, The Decline of the West cannot be ignored. The abridgment, prepared by the German scholar Helmut Werner, with the blessing of the Spengler estate, consists of selections from the original (translated into English by Charles Francis Atkinson) linked by explanatory passages which have been put into English by Arthur Helps. H. Stuart Hughes has written a new introduction for this edition. In this engrossing and highly controversial philosophy of history, Spengler describes how we have entered into a centuries-long "world-historical" phase comparable to late antiquity. Guided by the philosophies of Goethe and Nietzsche, he rejects linear progression, and instead presents a world view based on the cyclical rise and decline of civilizations. He argues that a culture blossoms from the soil of a definable landscape and dies when it has exhausted all of its possibilities. Despite Spengler's reputation today as an extreme pessimist, The Decline of the West remains essential reading for anyone interested in the history of civilization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/d945856c-6629-4d84-96c5-436f71c8aee2/Atlas+Shrugged.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Who is John Galt? When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book. You will discover why a productive genius becomes a worthless playboy...why a great steel industrialist is working for his own destruction...why a composer gives up his career on the night of his triumph...why a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill. Atlas Shrugged, a modern classic and Rand’s most extensive statement of Objectivism—her groundbreaking philosophy—offers the reader the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century’s leading artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/cc861d34-b855-4eb7-a6f5-1bde195c477a/world-population-10000BC.png Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Since 1700, human population size (shaded in teal) has increased.

However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and 'Progress' in the name of 'social justice' have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970, with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, 'non-whites' versus 'whites', globalists versus populists, 'the elites' versus 'the people', people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on 'the wrong track', with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/4a9bb722-4de9-4a7a-9e25-e6faab2ac280/bap.gif Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/58d57930-920b-4717-806c-9185fc479d7d/Power+elite.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Please read this book. First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills' book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/07aa25af-9282-48ed-a3a3-4ed70cb4e161/The+Devil%27s+Chessboard.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out Based on explosive new evidence, bestselling author David Talbot tells America’s greatest untold story: the United States’ rise to world dominance under the guile of Allen Welsh Dulles, the longest-serving director of the CIA. Drawing on revelatory new materials – including exclusive interviews with the children of prominent CIA officials, the personal correspondence and journals of Allen Dulles’s wife and mistress, newly discovered U.S. government documents, and U.S. and European intelligence sources – Talbot reveals the underside of one of America’s most powerful and influential figures. Dulles’s decades as the director of the CIA – which he used to further his public and private agendas – were dark times in American politics. Calling himself ‘the secretary of state of unfriendly countries’, Dulles saw himself as above the elected law, manipulating and subverting American presidents in the pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy elite he counted as his friends and clients – colluding with Nazi-controlled cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi in the process. Targeting foreign leaders for assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments not in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those same tactics to further his goals at home, culminating in the assassination of his political enemy, John F. Kennedy. Indeed, The Devil’s Chessboard offers shocking new evidence in the killings of both President Kennedy and his brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy. This is an expose of American power that is as disturbing as it is timely, a provocative and gripping story of the rise of the national security state – and the battle for America’s soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/4c8d5e78-f493-41a0-be86-e7c8bd7acbe8/Great+Leveler.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Why Aren’t You A Revolutionary? - Make it stand out How only violence and catastrophes have consistently reduced inequality throughout world history Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world. Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling—mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues—have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Scheidel identifies and examines these processes, from the crises of the earliest civilizations to the cataclysmic world wars and communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, which is good. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future. An essential contribution to the debate about inequality, The Great Leveler provides important new insights about why inequality is so persistent—and why it is unlikely to decline anytime soon. One must explore many domains from multiple perspectives to understand how culture works. It’s the only way to maintain humble, maturing opinions on social systems and relations.

MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson argued in 1967. In this book, the authors developed a general theory to explain the facts of island biogeography. The theory builds on the first principles of population ecology and genetics to explain how distance and area combine to regulate the balance between immigration and extinction in island populations. The authors then test the theory against data. The Theory of Island Biogeography was never intended as the last word on the subject. Instead, MacArthur and Wilson sought to stimulate new forms of theoretical and empirical studies, which will lead in turn to a stronger general theory. Even a third of a century since its publication, the book continues to serve that purpose well. From popular books like David Quammen's Song of the Dodo to arguments in the professional literature, The Theory of Island Biogeography remains at the center of discussions about the geographic distribution of species. In a new preface, Edward O. Wilson reviews the origins and consequences of this classic book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/2b53c34b-f674-4a33-8a33-db3553ed0617/Evolution+Life+Histories.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Is Our Species Destined To Self Terminate? - Make it stand out This book is the first comprehensive summary of life-history evolution, a field that holds a central position in modern ecology, evolution, and population biology.

It goes on to discuss the evolution of such major life-history traits as age and size at maturity; clutch size, reproductive investment and size of offspring; reproductive lifespan; and aging. This is an essential text for biologists wishing to understand the evolution of the life cycle and the causes of phenotypic variation in fitness.

"The violence in Lebanon is casual, random, and probably addicting," stated the Honolulu Star-Advertiser in 1985. "Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims," wrote long-time New Republic publisher and editor-in-chief Marty Peretz in 2010. There’s a recurring theme within media coverage of subjugated people in the US and around the world: they’re mindlessly, inherently savage. Whether the subject is immigrants from Central and South America, Black populations in major American cities, or people in Lebanon or Palestine, we’re repeatedly told that any violence they may be subjected to or carry out themselves is inevitable, purposeless, and baked into their "culture." The pathologizing of violence in certain racialized communities is one side of the coin. The other side of the coin, which reinforces this notion, is the equally sinister concept of selective empathy. It’s a conditional sense of compassion, reserved for victims who media deem deserving—say, Ukrainian victims of Russia’s invasion—and not for those who media deem undeserving, like Palestinians under siege by Israel in Gaza. What motivates this asymmetry, and how does it shape public understandings of suffering throughout the world? How is empathy as a form of media currency central to getting the public to care about victims of certain violence, while a lack of empathy––and even worse, pathologizing violence in certain communities––conditions the public to not care about those whose deaths those in power would rather not talk about, much less humanize. In this episode, we look at the concept of selective empathy in media coverage, examining how it continues centuries-old campaigns of dehumanization – particularly against Arab, Black, and Latino people – bifurcates victims of global violence into the deserving and the undeserving, and influences contemporary opinion on everything from pain tolerance to criminal-legal policy.

The Moon At The Top Of The List - Make it stand out In the below we discuss a few themes and characteristics that we have identified as being common among the secular guru set. We distinguish secular gurus from gurus that promote ideologies or worldviews that are primarily spiritual or religious in nature. By guru we refer to the standard definition of “an influential teacher or popular expert” but our specific focus tends to be the subset of gurus who make liberal use of ‘pseudo profound bullshit’ referring to speech that is persuasive and creates the appearance of profundity with little regard for truth or reference to relevant expertise. The recurring characteristics identified collectively trend towards negative traits, so a high score on the gurometer could be regarded as identifying ‘bad’, potentially exploitative gurus who produce ersatz wisdom: a corrupt epistemics that creates the appearance of useful knowledge, but has none of the substance. The characteristics identified have not been empirically validated but are based on our personal assessments. Taken together, they help us in the task of spotting gurus in the wild. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/3/27/aftermath-studies monthly 0.5 2024-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/6ec86204-a69c-4f43-9664-b1e3f19d6b6f/disaster.png Globe Hackers Blog - Aftermath Studies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/98d73be1-10e2-4a2d-9b91-368265e80677/utopia_city.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Aftermath Studies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/3/2/frankly-the-gurometer-and-the-end-times monthly 0.5 2024-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/242a5016-7dd1-4692-b247-937c7d689b44/Control-Man.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Frankly, The Gurometer and The End Times - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/ca5d04de-a8f1-4e9a-ac46-e5f554e72cef/Toni_Morrison.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Frankly, The Gurometer and The End Times - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c8a9b344-2cfe-4a12-bf19-aef243da7515/TheDivide.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Frankly, The Gurometer and The End Times - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/43f52121-eb86-4a83-8871-a9430630dbb3/Lucifer+Principle.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Frankly, The Gurometer and The End Times - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/2/16/jamie-wheal-of-the-infinite-game monthly 0.5 2024-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/ffde4360-d824-4b47-94e4-86198b621721/Karma1.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Jamie Wheal of the Infinite Game Upside Down - Make it stand out True Karma https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/2/10/the-putin-lecture monthly 0.5 2024-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c637ee13-464d-4a30-b44f-0c5283cbf831/Putin+Lecture.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - The Putin Lecture - Make it stand out Professor President Vladimir Putin Pontificates https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/2/9/have-faith-in-the-replicator monthly 0.5 2024-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/4f1fcfc4-152d-4e1d-9e8c-fe265dac695c/galaxy-class-replicator.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Galaxy Class Replicator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/52a089b9-68b6-4edf-8e45-83081a05fd1b/god+hops.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/fb51c4ad-be2a-489f-8c2e-726faffbf27d/Michelangelo_Creation_of_Adam.jpg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/c01f74df-3489-4565-b393-9cab83d4d7f8/Integrated+Synthesis.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1cacc1a3-aecd-4a96-b846-2fcaba5096bf/Skyline_of_Beijing.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Beijing Skyline https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/27ccf2c2-60cb-42a4-a5fb-c2c901459033/Thucydides+Trap.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Have Faith In Replicators - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/2/7/what-we-can-live-with-and-what-kills-us monthly 0.5 2024-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/bbdfcd15-ff80-4c5c-81dc-29e2e2529217/Jesus+Cruise.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - What We Can Live With and What Kills Us - Make it stand out Let Jesus Take The Cruise https://www.cospolon.eu/globe-hackers-blog/2024/2/6/huawei-is-competitive-should-the-us-be-worried monthly 0.5 2024-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/3b743d96-71bf-45ef-92b0-81cc4b8eefcf/Huawei-Experience.jpeg Globe Hackers Blog - Huawei Is Competitive.

Will AI Replace Us - Make it stand out A sweeping study of how capitalism first promoted fossil fuels with the rise of steam power—and contributed to the worsening climate crisis The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess? In this masterful new history, Andreas Malm claims it all began in Britain with the rise of steam power. But why did manufacturers turn from traditional sources of power, notably water mills, to an engine fired by coal? Contrary to established views, steam offered neither cheaper nor more abundant energy but superior control of subordinate labor. Animated by fossil fuels, capital could concentrate production at the most profitable sites and during the most convenient hours, as it continues to do today. Sweeping from nineteenth-century Manchester to the emissions explosion in China, from the original triumph of coal to the stalled shift to renewables, this study hones in on the burning heart of capital and demonstrates, in unprecedented depth, that turning down the heat will mean a radical overthrow of the current economic order. “The definitive deep history on how our economic system created the climate crisis.

Daniel Schmachtenberger Daniel Schmachtenberger Daniel Schmachtenberger is a founding member of The Consilience Project, aimed at improving public sensemaking and dialogue. The throughline of his interests has to do with ways of improving the health and development of individuals and society, with a virtuous relationship between the two as a goal. Towards these ends, he’s had particular interest in the topics of catastrophic and existential risk, civilization and institutional decay and collapse as well as progress, collective action problems, social organization theories, and the relevant domains in philosophy and science. Motivated by the belief that advancing collective intelligence and capacity is foundational to the integrity of any civilization, and necessary to address the unique risks we currently face given the intersection of globalization and exponential technology, he has spoken publicly on many of these topics, hoping to popularize and deepen important conversations and engage more people in working towards their solutions. Many of these can be found here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696353176055-3FEQUQV9F86DLFCDTLQH/Nate+Hagens.jpeg People - Nate Hagens (Copy) Nate Hagens Nate Hagens is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future (ISEOF), an organization focused on educating and preparing society for the coming cultural transition.

When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age.In middle age I was assured greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping. The sound of a jet, an engine warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the hot palms and the churn of stomach high up under the rib cage. In other words, once a bum always a bum. I fear this disease incurable. I set this matter down not to instruct others but to inform myself....A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we not take a trip; a trip takes us.” John Steinbeck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1538705561033-DW13DB150K589QZ1DQFB/marcus-zymmer-189539-unsplash.jpg COSPOLON - Never get comfortable while standing firmly on the shoulders of giants. “Nudge on, noble cowards. “No widely applicable economic models have been developed specifically for the upcoming era,” the researchers warned. But the situation is not desperate; unhappiness can be the beginning of promise. If there is some hope, it lies in the imagination, in describing a future that does not fall back on the terms of the past. This means setting out new vistas for the expression of human desire and potential without recourse to the exhausted binaries of markets and state, individual and government, freedom and control. It means a new model of development, a new vision of the civic and economic constitution, that avoids the cancers of modernization and growth. This is, unreservedly, a radical project.

Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail…Terrifying.”— Wall Street Journal There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States. Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have. Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445309137-3HATERRIBG258VA7SXC9/American+Prometheus.jpeg Book Recommendations - American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer PULITZER PRIZE WINNER The definitive biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war, and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress. THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE OPPENHEIMER J. Robert Oppenheimer is one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s. They declared that Oppenheimer could not be trusted with America’s nuclear secrets. In this magisterial biography twenty-five years in the making, which won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for biography, the authors capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445396311-BHYTVG6W3OWFJF48OJ2O/GeneralGenius.jpeg Book Recommendations - The General and the Genius: Groves and Oppenheimer - The Unlikely Partnership that Built the Atom Bomb Two ambitious men. One historic mission. With a blinding flash in the New Mexico desert in the summer of 1945, the world was changed forever. The bomb that ushered in the atomic age was the product of one of history's most improbable partnerships. The General and the Genius reveals how two extraordinary men pulled off the greatest scientific feat of the twentieth century. Leslie Richard Groves of the Army Corps of Engineers, who had made his name by building the Pentagon in record time and under budget, was made overlord of the impossibly vast scientific enterprise known as the Manhattan Project. His mission: to beat the Nazis to the atomic bomb. So he turned to the nation's preeminent theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer—the chain-smoking, martini-quaffing son of wealthy Jewish immigrants, whose background was riddled with communist associations—Groves's opposite in nearly every respect. In their three-year collaboration, the iron-willed general and the visionary scientist led a brilliant team in a secret mountaintop lab and built the fearsome weapons that ended the war but introduced the human race to unimaginable new terrors. And at the heart of this most momentous work of World War II is the story of two extraordinary men—the general and the genius. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445326975-PBBT47MVK0EJU6V4QWFO/CommandControl.jpeg Book Recommendations - Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb Here, for the first time, in a brilliant, panoramic portrait by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb, is the definitive, often shocking story of the politics and the science behind the development of the hydrogen bomb and the birth of the Cold War. Based on secret files in the United States and the former Soviet Union, this monumental work of history discloses how and why the United States decided to create the bomb that would dominate world politics for more than forty years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445339277-LTJZN63MWYVPNNIN3QXC/DarkSun.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445350349-ZQ5PAYUQPEJY6ZG5LD91/DeadHand.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445360394-OZ3ELBSI9RS523NPUID9/Einstein-+His+Life+and+Universe.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445370253-1RUNXOZZC9DAXWP7Z7Q2/Erwin+Schro%CC%88dinger-+What+Is+Life+%3F.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445386514-K46OYTLIG9WFB5QG53ZP/Five+Myths+About+Nuclear+Weapons.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445405386-M57RJE29Q2LHKHEJ8V1R/Heisenberg%27s+War.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445416911-JBEWL9EAKSZU8YWTVNZR/MakingBomb.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445426192-BXZ0APEOSEO35U2RWOD7/Max+Planck.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445435056-R6CUC3PUHL93C08URF60/Niels+Bohr+The+Man.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445444329-NAV2R2660O3Q36O7XUBH/Raven+Rock.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445454632-73XERVMF5U9UXEM328O9/SecondNuclearAge.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445467056-DW8ATW3RVQVUZQ99A0VQ/SeventhDecade.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445479143-6Q054LC0KURMYD797XM6/The+Apocalypse+Factory.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445492699-MUTRUBWDPUL4NM0ABQUJ/The+Logic+of+American+Nuclear+Strategy.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445505333-MVWC24364XFBO3YR8DKM/Truman.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704445516634-86FDVFPG08X9ZB1XJTZO/TwilightBomb.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1714590425329-72YOIHXKXZ3Q88IHVAO2/Biggest+Ideas+in+Universe.jpg Book Recommendations - The Biggest Ideas in the Universe The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality. The Big Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal Where are we? Who are we? Something Deeply Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of twentieth-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1721631536624-XJZOR51DTM9SHDP6GBPL/The+Power+Elite.jpg Book Recommendations - The Power Elite First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills' book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1728113101865-F2QJX9U4X97JU2H7LXTZ/Titans+of+Capital.jpg Book Recommendations - Titans of Capital: How Concentrated Wealth Threatens Humanity A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. Explores how fewer and larger investment companies now manage the excess financial wealth of the world’s 40 million richest people, to the detriment of everyone else and the global environment. In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Private capital investments serve as the primary operating funds for international arms sales, private prisons, and other socially negative activities. These investments fuel the continued use of carbon-based energy leading to amplified global warming and climate change. Military spending is a critical component of continued wealth concentration and political power in the world. Spending on arms and intelligence is a required aspect of maintaining global power and control. Dealing with Russia, China, Iran and other “rogue” states is a continuing agenda for agents of the world power elites. Propaganda machines in Western capitalist governments serve to protect elite wealth by promoting military conflicts to open new regions for economic investment. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy’s “Titans,”, it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides readers opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1738660150236-J5OVVME68UU09FPDA0LC/Palestine+Laboratory.jpg Book Recommendations - The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World Shortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing Shortlisted for the 2023 Walkley non fiction journalism prize Israel's military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an "enemy" population, the Palestinians. It's here that they have perfected the architecture of control. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi's phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown. Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe's most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654901210465-QMZJ5DYB0WPN3HZ8D9I9/ShortHistoryLife.jpg Book Recommendations - A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: 4.6 Billion Years in 12 Pithy Chapters In the beginning, Earth was an inhospitably alien place―in constant chemical flux, covered with churning seas, crafting its landscape through incessant volcanic eruptions. Amid all this tumult and disaster, life began. The earliest living things were no more than membranes stretched across microscopic gaps in rocks, where boiling hot jets of mineral-rich water gushed out from cracks in the ocean floor. Although these membranes were leaky, the environment within them became different from the raging maelstrom beyond. These havens of order slowly refined the generation of energy, using it to form membrane-bound bubbles that were mostly-faithful copies of their parents―a foamy lather of soap-bubble cells standing as tiny clenched fists, defiant against the lifeless world. Life on this planet has continued in much the same way for millennia, adapting to literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter and thriving, from these humblest beginnings to the thrilling and unlikely story of ourselves. In A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth, Henry Gee zips through the last 4.6 billion years with infectious enthusiasm and intellectual rigor. Drawing on the very latest scientific understanding and writing in a clear, accessible style, he tells an enlightening tale of survival and persistence that illuminates the delicate balance within which life has always existed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1681371591675-MMK8YSV1Z4FWU7JAICFR/Second+Body.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Second Body Every living thing has two bodies. To be an animal is to be in possession of a physical body, a body which can eat, drink and sleep; it is also to be embedded in a worldwide network of ecosystems. When every human body has an uncanny global presence, how do we live with ourselves? In this timely and elegant essay, Daisy Hildyard captures the second body by exploring how the human is a part of animal life. She meets Richard, a butcher in Yorkshire, and sees pigs turned into boiled ham; and Gina, an environmental criminologist, who tells her about leopards and silver foxes kept as pets in luxury apartments. She speaks to Luis, a biologist, about the origins of life; and talks to Nadezhda about fungi in an effort to understand how we define animal life. Eventually, her second body comes to visit her first body when the river flooded her home last year. The Second Body is a brilliantly lucid account of the dissolving boundaries between all life on earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662921820720-OKTMECQ7TTGHHG6HSZT9/SlouchingTowardsUtopia.jpeg Book Recommendations - Slouching Towards Utopia From one of the world’s leading economists, a grand narrative of the century that made us richer than ever, yet left us unsatisfied Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870–2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo. Economist Brad DeLong's Slouching Towards Utopia tells the story of how this unprecedented explosion of material wealth occurred, how it transformed the globe, and why it failed to deliver us to utopia. Of remarkable breadth and ambition, it reveals the last century to have been less a march of progress than a slouch in the right direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1659784314690-AM5MRHVJK04Y138YB397/The+Machiavellians.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom A classic work of political theory and practise, this book makes available an account of the modern Machiavellians, a remarkable group who have been influential in Europe and practically unknown in the United States: Gaetano Mosca, Georges Sorel, Robert Michels and Vilfredo Pareto. In addition, there is a long section on Machiavelli himself. James Burnham contends that the writings of these men hold the key both to the truth about politics and to the preservation of political liberty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1659784136599-JE8PCS7V242YWDOXZ8ZY/SuicideOfWest.jpg Book Recommendations - Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism James Burnham’s 1964 classic, Suicide of the West, remains a startling account on the nature of the modern era. It offers a profound, in depth analysis of what is happening in the world today by putting into focus the intangible, often vague doctrine of American liberalism. It parallels the loosely defined liberal ideology rampant in American government and institutions, with the flow, ebb, growth, climax and the eventual decline and death of both ancient and modern civilizations. Its author maintains that western suicidal tendencies lie not so much in the lack of resources or military power, but through an erosion of intellectual, moral, and spiritual factors abundant in modern western society and the mainstay of liberal psychology. Devastating in its relentless dissection of the liberal syndrome, this book will lead many liberals to painful self-examination, buttress the thinking conservative’s viewpoint, and incite others, no doubt, to infuriation. None can ignore it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1678531382151-Y4XSQZJKK1175Y9ZEYV4/Aristotle%27s+Way.jpeg Book Recommendations - ARISTOTLES WAY: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote the most important book on happiness. The first philosopher to inquire into subjective happiness, he understood its essence better and more clearly than anyone since. Most importantly, Aristotle understood happiness as available to the vast majority of us, but only, crucially, if we decide to apply ourselves to its creation. According to Aristotle, happiness is not about well-being but instead is a lasting state of contentment, which should be the ultimate goal of human life. We become happy through finding a purpose, realizing our potential, and modifying our behavior to become the best version of ourselves. With these objectives in mind, Aristotle developed a humane program for becoming a happy person. Here, Professor Edith Hall shows how his timeless teachings are exactly what we need today to stride purposefully towards a life well lived. As Hall writes, "If you believe that the goal of human life is to maximize happiness, then you are a budding Aristotelian." In expert yet vibrant modern language, Hall lays out the crux of Aristotle's thinking, mixing affecting autobiographical anecdotes with a deep wealth of classical learning. For Hall, whose own life has been greatly improved by her understanding of Aristotle, this is an intensely personal subject. She distills his ancient wisdom into ten practical and universal lessons to help us confront life's difficult and crucial moments, summarizing a lifetime of the most rarefied and brilliant scholarship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148687419-SUZLVKGNL45OH8UJM84R/a+cooperative+species.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662539406314-0RURHZUC9GIVW2MFLH6S/Anthropic+Bias.jpeg Book Recommendations - Anthropic Bias: Observation Selection Effects in Science and Philosophy Anthropic Bias explores how to reason when you suspect that your evidence is biased by "observation selection effects"--that is, evidence that has been filtered by the precondition that there be some suitably positioned observer to "have" the evidence. This conundrum--sometimes alluded to as "the anthropic principle," "self-locating belief," or "indexical information"--turns out to be a surprisingly perplexing and intellectually stimulating challenge, one abounding with important implications for many areas in science and philosophy. There are the philosophical thought experiments and paradoxes: the Doomsday Argument; Sleeping Beauty; the Presumptuous Philosopher; Adam & Eve; the Absent-Minded Driver; the Shooting Room. And there are the applications in contemporary science: cosmology ("How many universes are there?", "Why does the universe appear fine-tuned for life?"); evolutionary theory ("How improbable was the evolution of intelligent life on our planet?"); the problem of time's arrow ("Can it be given a thermodynamic explanation?"); quantum physics ("How can the many-worlds theory be tested?"); game-theory problems with imperfect recall ("How to model them?"); even traffic analysis ("Why is the 'next lane' faster?"). Anthropic Bias argues that the same principles are at work across all these domains. And it offers a synthesis: a mathematically explicit theory of observation selection effects that attempts to meet scientific needs while steering clear of philosophical paradox. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660894293465-GF4L97JSGT14HHW3UB61/CrimePunishment.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654092594335-XOYXD6VW3WDF3D6TGGE3/RighteousMind.jpg Book Recommendations - The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion Why can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as 'fairness' and 'freedom' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion? Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1642582023059-DVD01ZBA8DEF6NYGUV3Y/Token+Economy.jpeg Book Recommendations - Token Economy: How the Web3 reinvents the Internet This is the second edition of the book Token Economy originally published in June 2019. The basic structure of this second edition is the same as the first edition, with slightly updated content of existing chapters and four additional chapters: "User-Centric Identities," "Privacy Tokens," "Lending Tokens," and How to Design a Token System and more focus on the Web3. //Part one outlines the fundamental building blocks of the Web3, including the role of cryptography and user-centric digital identities. Part two explains Web3 applications like smart contracts, DAOs & tokens. The last two parts of the book focus on tokens as the atomic unit of the Web3, explaining the properties and functions of money and outlining the emerging field of decentralized finance (DeFi) that might power a potential future digital barter economy. Use cases such as asset tokens, purpose driven tokens, BAT (Basic Attention Token), social media tokens (Steemit, Hive and Reddit), privacy tokens, and stable tokens are explored, including the role of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and Facebook's Libra.//Tokens - often referred to as cryptocurrencies - can represent anything from an asset to an access right, such as gold, diamonds, a fraction of a Picasso painting or an entry ticket to a concert. Tokens could also be used to reward social media contributions, incentivize the reduction of CO2 emissions, or even ones attention for watching an ad. While it has become easy to create a token, which is collectively managed by a public Web3 infrastructure like a blockchain network, the understanding of how to apply these tokens is still vague. This book attempts to summarize existing knowledge about blockchain networks and other distributed ledgers as the backbone of the Web3, and contextualize the socio-economic implications of the Web3 applications such as smart contracts, tokens, and DAOs to the concepts of money, economics, governance and decentralized finance (DeFi).//The industry keeps referring to “Blockchain” as different from “Bitcoin,” creating an artificial divide that is often misleading. There seems to be too little understanding about the fact that Bitcoin is a blockchain network, which is (a) globally managed by people who mostly do not know each other, and (b) enabled by the consensus protocol that (c) incentivizes all network actors for their contributions with a native token. The governance rules are tied to the minting of a native blockchain token. The Bitcoin token can, therefore, be seen as the currency of a distributed Internet tribe, called the Bitcoin network, where network actors are rewarded with Bitcoins, just as the Ether is the currency of the distributed Internet tribe Ethereum network, or Sia is the native currency of the Sia network. The Bitcoin network and other distributed ledgers all represent a collectively maintained public infrastructure and are the backbone of the next generation Internet, what the crypto community refers to as the Web3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1640084144831-6HQYWWW12OSOYDPGEUTJ/MasterEmissary.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1656132850156-HZPRZ6ZB0WGNGAWL2NI9/PublicChoiceTheory.jpg Book Recommendations - Public Choice Theory and the Illusion of Grand Strategy: How Generals, Weapons Manufacturers, and Foreign Governments Shape American Foreign Policy This book argues that while the US president makes foreign policy decisions based largely on political pressures, it is concentrated interests that shape the incentive structures in which he and other top officials operate. The author identifies three groups most likely to be influential: government contractors, the national security bureaucracy, and foreign governments. This book shows that the public choice perspective is superior to a theory of grand strategy in explaining the most important aspects of American foreign policy, including the war on terror, policy toward China, and the distribution of US forces abroad. Arguing that American leaders are selected to respond to public opinion, not necessarily according to their ability to formulate and execute long-terms plans, the author shows how mass attitudes are easily malleable in the domain of foreign affairs due to ignorance with regard to the topic, the secrecy that surrounds national security issues, the inherent complexity of the issues involved, and most importantly, clear cases of concentrated interests. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of American Studies, Foreign Policy Analysis and Global Governance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1677054984634-B508I6M9KUP6CM8F4O6S/StructureScienticRevolutions.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Structure of Scientific Revolutions "A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . .

We have mastered fire and have stood on the moon, and yet every one of us is fundamentally ignorant, irrational and prone to making simple mistakes every day. 'In The Knowledge Illusion, the cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach hammer another nail into the coffin of the rational individual . . . positing that not just rationality but the very idea of individual thinking is a myth.' Yuval Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens and Homo Deus In this groundbreaking book, cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach show how our success as a species is down to us living in a rich community of knowledge where we are drawing on information and expertise outside our heads. And we have no idea that we are even doing it. Utilizing cutting-edge research, The Knowledge Illusion explains why we think we know more than we do, why beliefs are so hard to change and why we are so prone to making mistakes. Providing a blueprint for successful ways to work in collaboration to do amazing things, it reveals why the key to human intelligence lies in the way we think and work together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148688077-FP4IOA79UG7VCI4W6O6K/conspiracies+declassified.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1677052331926-I8AI1437LHXQ83X03RFG/Extended+Phenotype.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Extended Phenotype: The Long Reach of the Gene In The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins crystallized the gene's eye view of evolution developed by W.D. Hamilton and others. The book provoked widespread and heated debate. Written in part as a response, The Extended Phenotype gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of the gene as the unit of selection; but it did much more besides. In it, Dawkins extended the gene's eye view to argue that the genes that sit within an organism have an influence that reaches out beyond the visible traits in that body - the phenotype - to the wider environment, which can include other individuals. So, for instance, the genes of the beaver drive it to gather twigs to produce the substantial physical structure of a dam; and the genes of the cuckoo chick produce effects that manipulate the behaviour of the host bird, making it nurture the intruder as one of its own. This notion of the extended phenotype has proved to be highly influential in the way we understand evolution and the natural world. It represents a key scientific contribution to evolutionary biology, and it continues to play an important role in research in the life sciences. The Extended Phenotype is a conceptually deep book that forms important reading for biologists and students. But Dawkins' clear exposition is accessible to all who are prepared to put in a little effort. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636089627238-ZFQQAON2U01QF73KIKJ8/TheOriginsofOrder.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148688395-238HVUP46KA7SXE1H7JP/how+to+be+a+stoic.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148688589-9UUQXFK45OYT6IR2ME68/how+to+think+like+leonardo+da+vinci.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636090616450-BU44CJYYWS2MIRV7B9NT/ReinventingTheSacred.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148689049-KCTIG1X3AI7JF2SJAZQX/Orwell+Facing+Unpleasant+Facts.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148689060-ZRWPKRWVSW6C5LBY4L2R/philosophy+of+pseudo+science.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1623148689570-N0FBJ380MCC3Y1TR6QV0/recapture+the+rapture.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1641623170860-QRO93UJ0NS4QFHPH5AF9/HackingAmericanMind.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Hacking of the American Mind “Explores how industry has manipulated our most deep-seated survival instincts.”—David Perlmutter, MD, Author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Maker Robert H.

However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Gödel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656313476-3G8C5X4682KIMPWHWWEX/democracyincorporated.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1681164883535-ESOWBX5QLBNO3471CV32/Political+Parties.jpeg Book Recommendations - Political Parties: A Sociological Study of the Oligarchical Tendencies of Modern Democracy The principle of self-government through political parties, the cornerstone of democracy, has come to be regarded as a solution to the problem of nationality. This is because the principle of nationality entails the acceptance of the idea of popular government. The importance of the principle of nationality is undeniable, and most of the national questions of Western Europe might be solved in accordance with this principle. Matters are complicated by geographical and strategical considerations, such as the difficulty of determining natural frontiers and the frequent need to establish strategic frontiers. Moreover, the principle of nationality cannot help us where nationalities barely exist or where they are entangled in inextricable confusion. The present work is a critical discussion of the problem of democracy. Michels believes that democracy, as an intellectual theory and as a practical movement, has entered upon a critical phase from which exit will be extremely difficult. In this book he analyzes the tendencies that oppose the realization of democracy, and claims that these tendencies can be classified in three ways: dependence upon the nature of the individual; dependence upon the nature of the political structure; and dependence upon the nature of organization. This edition, described by Morris Janowitz as a "classic of modern social science" and by Melvin Tumin as "the beginning of a tradition," offers a landmark study in political science. Following its original publication in 1910, the study and analysis of political parties was established as a new branch of science. Political Parties continues to be a foundation work in the literature and is a necessary addition to the libraries of contemporary political scientists, sociologists, and historians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656412327-J9KIG77QCDGS47C1G0G7/mansearchformeaning.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656493026-2CPLJBL2TEJSFQZN67NS/theartofwar.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656584353-D7A99FXGN84DZAGNU97T/thefederalistpapers.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656698267-4I2PV2H4S0L1K1E4USVP/thebloodybattleofsuribachi.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656779607-N2ZYJD8WH89AVCS41WER/myfathercamefromitaly.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656863250-DGRCI12ZC8OTEJXDTCG3/thebillofrightsprimer.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629656968974-05Y7H3TEYG29SWV61NNJ/TheBigPicture.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657040719-UP3UHSG5MZ1A3ZVZJI8E/thenakedandthedead.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637570191962-TB91H75LXSSPNZBWQT3K/Debt5000.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657123790-06GMKRQK0TN6TYTHYJXV/nemesis.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657197334-GG5YJB74TZPHMFX9E3KH/thewitchofhebron.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657280830-2Y56LL3Z9W4AGBOS9MBA/thechinamission.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657376347-NMY5NORXOSC1E7I731YC/theboyscrusade.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657442990-VS6IGAC0XDIBGBEKZ8BC/norsemythology.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657514374-GGD0LPV4QY0NBZIDJ0JB/awayintheworld.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657596871-C7JNHINGEPCY2D1QDJY5/slaveryscapitalism.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657681590-BG3YHALFQ3291XEUD6CN/thesorrowsofempire.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629657774988-ENCG7AJTAMI26ZFPX79V/thetheoryoftheleisureclass.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654630065054-QR3W9HL70GPWW2R71VAJ/EmpathyDiaries.jpg Book Recommendations - The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir For decades, Sherry Turkle has shown how we remake ourselves in the mirror of our machines. Here, she illuminates our present search for authentic connection in a time of uncharted challenges. Turkle has spent a career composing an intimate ethnography of our digital world; now, marked by insight, humility, and compassion, we have her own. In this vivid and poignant narrative, Turkle ties together her coming-of-age and her pathbreaking research on technology, empathy, and ethics. Growing up in postwar Brooklyn,Turkle searched for clues to her identity in a house filled with mysteries. She mastered the codes that governed her mother's secretive life. She learned never to ask about her absent scientist father--and never to use his name, her name. Before empathy became a way to find connection, it was her strategy for survival. Turkle's intellect and curiosity brought her to worlds on the threshold of change. She learned friendship at a Harvard-Radcliffe on the cusp of coeducation during the antiwar movement, she mourned the loss of her mother in Paris as students returned from the 1968 barricades, and she followed her ambition while fighting for her place as a woman and a humanist at MIT. There, Turkle found turbulent love and chronicled the wonders of the new computer culture, even as she warned of its threat to our most essential human connections. The Empathy Diaries captures all this in rich detail--and offers a master class in finding meaning through a life's work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629700942061-UC0Z30AE4ZRWDAUJRX3B/TheScoutMindset.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701061425-QWHQMRMWP55EHVELNWZP/worldmadebyhand.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701133706-P14HUD0KOMF88NY7CYSS/wagesofrebellion.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660895193771-OYE4WI5B6EK654L4KSMT/NameOfRose.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701245578-11G5U67SF60B3V6AFQFF/annakarenina.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701369894-JULXBJMAK2VFU5TUZ1JK/anatomyoffascism.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701476265-1HA1C6ZB6ODVYFGLAXWV/theneweconomichitman.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701560217-RQ383GZHEOJKB9PSSK5B/propaganda.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701653694-KA3S7GP7P3W2597YXLCK/Goliath.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629701735165-5PRX8BX4WVWR06UIDZA6/Noise.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629702056159-Y17HFKALTX22FGANL84S/projecthailmary.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629702132938-US3DMLDQ3JBD87MVYW0B/managementofsavagery.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753055149-L6EI1WNECE7N0NUIVWDP/Taliban.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753281417-T3PU804TUTPX01OV5002/Taliban-Fergusson.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753388123-23HQRTQGCP38ZZ6CQSU0/TheTalibanAtWar.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753522390-09JCSYQ2LRA4958AR38J/SALAZAR-Gallagher.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753763280-JU2W2VAJJFYRPZKXICSJ/TheNewHumanRightsMovement.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629753874156-KCP2IOUUUXR81OULA4K0/TZM.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629754004641-D55044BD9AFIHQE52V4L/Veritas.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629754125096-T7YAT8E7HBJ9XC68ZS3O/The+Quick+Fix.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629754214681-XJOWGG32WY6YNQ4CWCCV/BeyondEconomicsAndEcology.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1629754319933-6HX320EAHTA127S5DMQ8/IvanIllich2.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654326078004-B6FO9MHI4U4WDXJ2S6ID/MoneyLife.jpg Book Recommendations - Your Money or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence: Fully Revised and Updated for 2018 For more than twenty-five years, Your Money or Your Life has been considered the go-to book for taking back your life by changing your relationship with money.

The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630046591246-0GX82GQR4CSEY9WBW6PY/AllHellBreakingLoose.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630046655824-38052GFCRJ3ZNDXZ4PAO/BadPharma.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630046716754-8PRP1W9GN87CAIDNM3M3/BadScience.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630047665817-4B1TUXMOVNSWNLSU2BZM/UnderTheVolcano.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630601079582-002V8MHDERSO50I2LE2A/JorneyToIxtlan.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630683757575-MCZ37E087QK1RT3IO9ML/BrightGreenLies.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660895766575-1T48XMUAN9A0OSAE0EM8/BraveNewWorld.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630923629924-C0J419X8UOVHC4P8E2PG/HowFascismWorks.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1630947877414-25OG51QN58WM3N15T1LK/TheLoomingTower.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1631327316372-08CZDTIDSC14XRX0AK2G/TheGreatestShowDawkins.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1631327611053-BK1UIC3BUB1II8NDGFKO/TheThistleTheDrone.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637308054872-78OVBFATW1SL9CCVMSZ0/ProbableImpossibilities.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1631976241132-13TKJMI22HGZD2X6NHJB/HowToHaveImpossibleConversations.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1632024046383-Z3V5F4D93CA08ZH8Q8AD/DeepWork.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1632552239733-NQUOKQEXI7RHDOJECYUP/Spinoza+Deleuze.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1632730635925-3LJ7GAIYOFHL6L3QZDR4/FaithAndModernThought.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1634100508109-83O637HKB05FOWK9FVNV/FireInTheLake.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637982969021-54OOO60PV0NYJ7XXIP1A/SovereignIndividual.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1634201039487-AZS80IVLOT5Y52PXU8F4/DebunkingZinn.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1634258062394-OZUIE4QHD9U224DM91A8/APeoplesHistoryoftheUnitedStates.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1640622850470-P86QW7EXGNJ01CG5UR2K/ThomasSowellReader.jpg Book Recommendations - The Thomas Sowell Reader These selections from the many writings of Thomas Sowell over a period of a half century cover social, economic, cultural, legal, educational, and political issues. The sources range from Dr. Sowell's letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from late-talking children to "tax cuts for the rich," baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are dealt with by sometimes drawing on history, sometimes drawing on economics, and sometimes drawing on a sense of humor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638258374121-2B3CWXM6VJBKB4388DTA/AVeryEasyDeath.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1634258663983-4UH924JSLIQX6EFDGICZ/IndigenousPH.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1634260913991-Q7HTCBSS9JTIRYSPG9GY/AnotherNow.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1652019695000-5KOEPIG0NE8VNPRYQA26/NewRight.jpg Book Recommendations - The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics In 2016, a diverse faction of conservatives, united by fierce nationalism, populism, and an acute distaste for progressivism, rallied behind a crass New York real estate mogul who had never held elected office. Thanks to the outspoken support and technical savvy of this New Right, Donald Trump bested 14 career politicians in the GOP primaries, overcame one of the most influential political machines in US history, and won the Presidency. Now in newsrooms and at dinner tables across the country, millions are asking: Who are these people, where did they come from, and what do they believe? The New Right did not emerge overnight; this movement has been quietly gathering momentum for decades. Now it has burst into the mainstream, arousing fears of a fascist takeover. In The New Right, author Michael Malice tells the story of this movement, unveiling its prime movers and providing an unbiased view of its ideological roots, political ideas, and ambitions for the future. This book is required reading for any American interested in the future of the Republican Party and American politics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1640622658405-T6T2NN8N77EQVMPC59DP/blacks-red-white.jpeg Book Recommendations - Blacks Rednecks and White Liberals This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, about slavery, and about education.

For at least five millennia people have been borrowing and lending at interest. The practice wasn’t always popular—in the ancient world, usury was generally viewed as exploitative, a potential path to debt bondage and slavery. Yet as capitalism became established from the late Middle Ages onwards, denunciations of interest were tempered because interest was a necessary reward for lenders to part with their capital. And interest performs many other vital functions: it encourages people to save; enables them to place a value on precious assets, such as houses and all manner of financial securities; and allows us to price risk. All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest is often described as the “price of money,” but it is better called the “price of time:” time is scarce, time has value, interest is the time value of money. Over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, interest rates have sunk lower than ever before. Easy money after the global financial crisis in 2007/2008 has produced several ill effects, including the appearance of multiple asset price bubbles, a reduction in productivity growth, discouraging savings and exacerbating inequality, and forcing yield starved investors to take on excessive risk. The financial world now finds itself caught between a rock and a hard place, and Edward Chancellor is here to tell us why. In this enriching volume, Chancellor explores the history of interest and its essential function in determining how capital is allocated and priced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636190818757-NMMBNM37HC8M3HQU0DEF/GodsProblem.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637307831535-LILG0B75ODD02W7SWIJV/PowerOfRitual.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636190901497-6GTTGZD53ID26328OKIX/TriumphOfChristianity.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636857327068-QSEFZX7TZPC1BDVVMO9F/Churchill-Walking.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637983089884-YI7IKIF3WBVL505FJCZ2/GrayLadyWinked.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636857592243-6XBZW7F74JXTD1S9J33E/CaseForDemocracy.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636857707400-72FJBTK9KGYA6WUOSM69/WarandPeace.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636857874679-A9XJ2SNVN29YZ3DOY6RR/TheFifthRisk.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636857983588-31D55MEE5W8XPOJWUYLW/NumeroZero.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1636880912074-AGTOCBEM36CZY8IYDAYE/ConstitutionofKnowledge.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1637308161700-5UW8Y7M1JMTC9F2LV5KO/TheHiddenSpring.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638118675067-BFT7TEYZRTACXO880DS0/24hoursRome.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660895046249-5C6NSYDESMJLAML18TKR/FlanneryOconnar.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638177941001-PSJBHL34UV8J1E0HPOVE/NewClimateWar.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638257628882-4IGA7O9WCWXGELRV4ACY/Spinoza-Della+Rocca.jpeg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638257856018-2QY01YSF3PZPBM0DHZB5/EthicsAmbiquity.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638339752993-CEWBR5LGDYXNIASGO3PU/MindIsFlat.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638688185819-C0OH0PJF9DQOGF0N28MJ/GovernTheGlobe.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638707885176-OVBKCUO4ZVYU1PKU9PDL/Metropolis.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1638828592265-OZ2D79KOAX000D3CSZVS/SayNothing.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1640183872413-Q2TFJ6CUWD6E8IGRM8OV/AfterApocalypse.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660894990829-KOM9PKYWVFBM1VCIYPX7/PlatoRepublic.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1640623145548-T1MV2KEYD9W9ZEER6UAP/RuleOfLaws.jpg Book Recommendations - The Rule of Laws In The Rule of Laws, Oxford scholar Fernanda Pirie traces the rise and fall of the sophisticated legal systems underpinning ancient empires and religious traditions, while also showing how common people—tribal assemblies, merchants, farmers—called on laws to define their communities, regulate trade, and build civilizations. Although legal principles originating in Western Europe now seem to dominate the globe, the variety of the world’s laws has long been almost as great as the variety of its societies. What truly unites human beings, Pirie argues, is our very faith that laws can produce justice, combat oppression, and create order from chaos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1641280712528-N064ZEGHIJIVWI5X7J9U/SpoilsofWar.jpg Book Recommendations - The Spoils of War In the last decades, America has gone to war as supposed defenders of democracy. The War on Terror was waged to protect the west from the dangers of Islamists. US Solders are stationed in over 800 locations across the world to act as the righteous arbiters of the rule of law. In What America Really Wants? Andrew Cockburn brilliantly dissects the intentions behind Washington's martial appetites. The American war machine can only be understood in terms of the "private passions" and "interests" of those who control it - principally a passionate interest in money. Thus, as he witheringly reports, Washington expanded NATO to satisfy an arms manufacturer's urgent financial requirements; the U.S. Navy's Pacific fleet deployments were for years dictated by a corrupt contractor who bribed high-ranking officers with cash and prostitutes; senior marine commanders agreed to a troop surge in Afghanistan in 2017 "because it will do us good at budget time." Based on years of wide-ranging research, Cockburn lays bare the ugly reality of the largest military machine in history: squalid, and at the same time terrifyingly dangerous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1641835330410-8FLI2Z88S66MNXZ6RGWJ/GrandTransitions.jpeg Book Recommendations - Grand Transitions: How the Modern World Was Made What makes the modern world work? The answer to this deceptively simple question lies in four "grand transitions" of civilization--in populations, agriculture, energy, and economics--which have transformed the way we live. Societies that have undergone all four transitions emerge into an era of radically different population dynamics, food surpluses (and waste), abundant energy use, and expanding economic opportunities. Simultaneously, in other parts of the world, hundreds of millions remain largely untouched by these developments. Through erudite storytelling, Vaclav Smil investigates the fascinating and complex interactions of these transitions. He argues that the moral imperative to share modernity's benefits has become more acute with increasing economic inequality, but addressing this imbalance would make it exceedingly difficult to implement the changes necessary for the long-term preservation of the environment. Thus, managing the fifth transition--environmental changes from natural-resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and global warming--will determine the success or eventual failure of the grand transitions that have made the world we live in today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1642113947413-8J20WV5XKPVOT2RYYAC1/GangstersCapitalism.jpg Book Recommendations - Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire A groundbreaking journey tracing America’s forgotten path to global power―and how its legacies shape our world today―told through the extraordinary life of a complicated Marine. Smedley Butler was the most celebrated warfighter of his time. Bestselling books were written about him. Hollywood adored him. Wherever the flag went, “The Fighting Quaker” went―serving in nearly every major overseas conflict from the Spanish War of 1898 until the eve of World War II. From his first days as a 16-year-old recruit at the newly seized Guantánamo Bay, he blazed a path for empire: helping annex the Philippines and the land for the Panama Canal, leading troops in China (twice), and helping invade and occupy Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Mexico, and more. Yet in retirement, Butler turned into a warrior against war, imperialism, and big business, declaring: “I was a racketeer for capitalism." Award-winning author Jonathan Myerson Katz traveled across the world―from China to Guantánamo, the mountains of Haiti to the Panama Canal―and pored over the personal letters of Butler, his fellow Marines, and his Quaker family on Philadelphia's Main Line. Along the way, Katz shows how the consequences of the Marines' actions are still very much alive: talking politics with a Sandinista commander in Nicaragua, getting a martial arts lesson from a devotee of the Boxer Rebellion in China, and getting cast as a P.O.W. extra in a Filipino movie about their American War. Tracing a path from the first wave of U.S. overseas expansionism to the rise of fascism in the 1930s to the crises of democracy in our own time, Gangsters of Capitalism tells an urgent story about a formative era most Americans have never learned about, but that the rest of the world cannot forget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1642656562363-ETZ6KSCT7S9WZ1EGR9Z3/HowToHammerSickle.jpg Book Recommendations - How to Philosophize with a Hammer and Sickle: Nietzsche and Marx for the 21st-Century Left Modernity has been defined by humanity's capacity for self-destruction. Over the last century, the means which threaten not only life's joy but its very existence have only multiplied. At the same time, as a new wave of nationalism and right-wing politics spreads across the world, fewer and fewer people are being convinced that socialism could improve their everyday lives, let alone save us from our own destruction. In this timely and explosive book, philosopher and YouTuber Jonas Čeika (aka Cuck Philosophy) re-invigorates socialism for the twenty-first century. Leaving behind its past associations with bureaucracy and state tyranny, and it's lifeless and drab theoretical accounts, Čeika instead uses the works of Marx and Nietzsche to reconnect socialism with its human element, presenting it as something not only affecting, but created by living, breathing, suffering human individuals. At a time when ecological collapse is hurtling towards us, and capitalism offers no solution except more growth and exploitation, How to Philosophise with a Hammer and Sickle shows us the way forward to a socialism grounded in human experience and accessible to all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1643277344500-OYB3XOIZMURPEZ5BE7ZC/LifeIsSimple.jpg Book Recommendations - Life is Simple: How Occam's Razor Set Science Free And Unlocked the Universe Life is Simple tells the remarkable story of how a thirteenth century monk's search for simplicity led to the emergence of the modern world. We begin in the turbulent times of the medieval friar, William of Occam, who first articulated the principle that the best answer to any problem is the simplest. This theory, known as Occam's razor, cut through the thickets of medieval metaphysics to clear a path for modern science. We follow the razor in the hands of the giants of science, from Copernicus, to Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Rubin and Higgs. Its success suggests that we live in the simplest possible habitable universe and supports the revolutionary theory that our cosmos has evolved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1643323829296-J47XM0QSSQ37WM483YXQ/Energy%26Civilization.jpg Book Recommendations - Energy and Civilization: A History Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows―ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity―for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts―from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1658907850542-09DES1TBG429ZRE5BK1H/BestMoneyCan%27t.jpg Book Recommendations - The Best That Money Can't Buy: Beyond Politics, Poverty, & War Jacque Fresco envisions a global civilization in which science and technology are applied with human and environmental concern to secure, protect, and encourage a more humane world for all people. This book offers a possible way out of our recurring cycles of boom and recession, famine, poverty, a declining environment, and territorial conflicts where peace is merely the interval between wars. It outlines an attainable, humane social design of the near future where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life. The Best That Money Can't Buy is a challenge to all people to work toward a society in which all of the world's resources become the common heritage of all of the earth's people. It is accompanied by 70 color photos of Fresco's original designs, which illuminate the fulfilling lifestyle of a global, resource-based economy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1643471247791-HYO6K79VPLQZ9X2KJPGB/GoodCitizens.jpg Book Recommendations - Good Citizens: Creating Enlightened Society In Good Citizens, Thich Nhat Hanh lays out the foundation for an international solidarity movement based on a shared sense of compassion, mindful consumption, and right action. While based on the basic Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-Fold Path, Thich Nhat Hanh boldly leaves Buddhist terms behind as he offers his contribution to the creation of a truly global and nondenominational blueprint to overcoming deep-seated divisions and a vision of a world in harmony and the preservation of the planet. Good Citizens also contains a new wording of the Five Mindfulness Trainings (traditionally called precepts ) for lay practitioners, bringing them in line with modern-day needs and realities. In their new form they are concrete and practical guidelines of ethical conduct that can be accepted by all traditions. Good Citizens also includes the complete text of the UN Manifesto 2000, a declaration of transforming violence and creating a culture of peace for the benefit of the children of the world. It was drafted by numerous Peace Nobel Prize recipients and signed by over 100 million people worldwide. Good Citizens shows that dualistic thinking Republican/Democrat, Christian/Muslim creates tension and a false sense of separateness. When we realize that we share a common ethic and moral code, we can create a community that can change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1643471384260-GDWZXKILACI5EKOGTLJT/YouAreHere.jpg Book Recommendations - You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment In this book, Thich Nhat Hanh--Zen monk, author, and meditation master--distills the essence of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasizing the power of mindfulness to transform our lives. But true mindfulness, Hanh explains, is not an escape. It is being in the present moment, totally alive and free. Based on a retreat that Thich Nhat Hanh led for Westerners, You Are Here offers a range of effective practices for cultivating mindfulness and staying in the present moment--including awareness of breathing and walking, deep listening, and skillful speech. These teachings will empower you to witness the wonder of life and transform your suffering, both within and outside you, into compassion, tenderness, and peace. As Thich Nhat Hanh declares, "the energy of mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha, and it can be produced by anybody." It is as simple as breathing in and breathing out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1643932976112-J90B7DUOQGZPL7EDXE7R/Regeneration.jpg Book Recommendations - Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1644650600392-M1SCOXR5F5B431ADR3EK/KarlMarxALife.jpg Book Recommendations - Karl Marx: A Life "A brilliant book, by a superb author, about a necessary man."―Christopher Hitchens In this stunning book, the first comprehensive biography of Marx since the end of the Cold War, Francis Wheen gives us not a socialist ogre but a fascinating, ultimately humane man, while still examining the criticisms of his detractors. A study in contradictions, Karl Marx was at once a reserved scholar, a fiery agitator, and a gregarious socialite, while his intellect and ideology were once described as "Rousseau, Voltaire, and Hegel fused into one person." He lived both at the center and on the fringes of his age, and his oratory and writing continue to change the contemporary world. In his entertaining, offbeat style, Wheen offers an eminently readable biography of one of history's most unforgettable figures. "Wheen's portrait of Marx's life is artfully shaped and makes delectable reading."―New York Times"A magnificent portrait of Marx.... Bravo!"―A. N. Wilson "[E]xpertly researched, admirably objective, eminently humane, and plenty entertaining." ― Boston Book Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1644651030804-CEWMXTP07UGLG35K782G/NietzscheFreeSpiritWorks.jpg Book Recommendations - Nietzsche's Free Spirit Works: A Dialectical Reading Between 1878 and 1882, Nietzsche published what he called 'the free spirit works': Human, All Too Human; Assorted Opinions and Maxims; The Wanderer and His Shadow; Daybreak; and The Gay Science. Often approached as a mere assemblage of loosely connected aphorisms, these works are here re-interpreted as a coherent narrative of the steps Nietzsche takes in educating himself toward freedom that executes a dialectic between scientific truth-seeking and artistic life-affirmation. Matthew Meyer's new reading of these works not only provides a more convincing explanation of their content but also makes better sense of the relationship between them and Nietzsche's larger oeuvre. His argument shows how these texts can and should be read as a unified project even while they present multiple, in some cases conflicting, images of the free spirit. The book will appeal to anyone who is interested in Nietzsche's philosophy and especially to those puzzled about how to understand the peculiarities of the free spirit works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645481248916-2V7BYL66YXXB0MSR7VZ9/MythofFramework.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Myth of the Framework: In Defence of Science and Rationality In a career spanning 60 years, Sir Karl Popper has made some of the most important contributions to the 20th century discussion of science and rationality. The Myth of the Framework is a collection of some of Popper's most important material on this subject. Sir Karl discusses such issues as the aims of science, the role that it plays in our civilization, the moral responsibility of the scientist, the structure of history and the perennial choice between reason and revolution. In doing so, he attacks intellectual fashions (like positivism) that exaggerate what science and rationality have done, as well as intellectual fashions (like relativism) that denigrate what science and rationality can do. Scientific knowledge, according to Popper, is one of the most rational and creative of human achievements, but it is also inherently fallible and subject to revision. In place of intellectual fashions, Popper offers his own critical rationalism - a view that he regards both as a theory of knowledge and as an attitude towards human life, human morals and democracy. There are nine essays in this collection: 'The Rationality of Scientific Revolutions'; 'The Myth of the Framework'; 'Reason or Revolution'; 'Science: Problems, Aims and Responsibilities'; 'Philosophy and Physics'; 'The Moral Responsibility of the Scientist'; 'A Pluralist Approach to the Philosophy of History'; 'Models, Instruments, and Truth'; 'Epistemology and Industrialization'. In his Introduction, he writes: ‘All, or almost all, the papers collected in this volume are written to defend rationality and rational criticism. It is a way of thinking, and even a way of living: a readiness to listen to critical arguments, to search for one’s own mistakes, and to learn from them. It is, fundamentally, an attitude that I have tried to formulate (perhaps first in 1932) in the following two lines: ‘I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth.’ This is vintage Karl Popper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645481441612-PVHCDDHHXO6ZYJ6FIXP7/SurveillanceCapitaliism.jpg Book Recommendations - The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power 'Easily the most important book to be published this century. I find it hard to take any young activist seriously who hasn't at least familarised themselves with Zuboff's central ideas.' - Zadie Smith, The Guardian The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control us. The heady optimism of the Internet's early days is gone. Technologies that were meant to liberate us have deepened inequality and stoked divisions. Tech companies gather our information online and sell it to the highest bidder, whether government or retailer. Profits now depend not only on predicting our behaviour but modifying it too. How will this fusion of capitalism and the digital shape our values and define our future? Shoshana Zuboff shows that we are at a crossroads. We still have the power to decide what kind of world we want to live in, and what we decide now will shape the rest of the century. Our choices: allow technology to enrich the few and impoverish the many, or harness it and distribute its benefits. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is a deeply-reasoned examination of the threat of unprecedented power free from democratic oversight. As it explores this new capitalism's impact on society, politics, business, and technology, it exposes the struggles that will decide both the next chapter of capitalism and the meaning of information civilization. Most critically, it shows how we can protect ourselves and our communities and ensure we are the masters of the digital rather than its slaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645481703865-HVPUX67EDICLLYOIAC9Q/DeficitMyth.jpg Book Recommendations - The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and How to Build a Better Economy Supporting the economy, paying for healthcare, creating new jobs, preventing a climate apocalypse: how can we pay for it all? Leading economic thinker Stephanie Kelton, shows how misguided that question is, and how a radical new approach can maximise our potential as a society. Everything that we've been led to believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending is wrong. Rather than asking the self-defeating question of how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton guides us to ask: which deficits actually matter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645481832532-7XQE0LHDCTVYBG8XVQXS/DownAndOut.jpg Book Recommendations - Down and Out in Paris and London Three francs will feed you till tomorrow, and you cannot think further than that… As a young man struggling to find his voice as a writer, George Orwell left the comfort of home to live in the impoverished working districts of Paris and London. He would document both the chaos and boredom of destitution, the eccentric cast of characters he encountered, and the near-constant pains of hunger and discomfort. Exposing the grim reality of a life marred by poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London, part memoir, part social commentary, would become George Orwell’s first published work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645594022978-FLRLHGIEK8L6LVY35RX6/LionTracker.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life. Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment. When we join Boyd Varty and his two friends tracking lions, we are immersed in the South African bush, and, although we learn some of the skills required for actual tracking, the takeaways are the strategies that can be applied to our everyday lives. Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us. In the same way the trip in the classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a vehicle to examine how to live out our values, the story of this one-day adventure—with danger and suspense along the way—uses the ancient art of tracking to convey profound lessons on how to live a purposeful, meaningful life of greater harmony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1645791691332-XLGDQP1AKQ5VVY3401JJ/OutCave.jpeg Book Recommendations - Out of the Cave: A Natural Philosophy of Mind and Knowing From a philosopher and a neuropsychologist, a radical rethinking of certain traditional views about human cognition and behavior. Plato's Allegory of the Cave trapped us in the illusion that mind is separate from body and from the natural and physical world. Knowledge had to be eternal and absolute. Recent scientific advances, however, show that our bodies shape mind, thought, and language in a deep and pervasive way. In Out of the Cave, Mark Johnson and Don Tucker--a philosopher and a neuropsychologist--propose a radical rethinking of certain traditional views about human cognition and behavior. They argue for a theory of knowing as embodied, embedded, enactive, and emotionally based. Knowing is an ongoing process--shaped by our deepest biological and cultural values. Johnson and Tucker describe a natural philosophy of mind that is emerging through the convergence of biology, psychology, computer science, and philosophy, and they explain recent research showing that all of our higher-level cognitive activities are rooted in our bodies through processes of perception, motive control of action, and feeling. This developing natural philosophy of mind offers a psychological, philosophical, and neuroscientific account that is at once scientifically valid and subjectively meaningful--allowing us to know both ourselves and the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1646515813164-JG5PMDUVGSQZYYJGVR0Z/TrueBeliever.jpg Book Recommendations - The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements is one of the most widely read works of social psychology written in the 20th-century. It exemplifies the powers of creative thinking and critical analysis at their best, providing an insight into two crucial elements of critical thinking. Hoffer is likely to go down in history as one of America’s great creative thinkers – a writer not bound by standard frameworks of thinking or academic conventions, willing to beat his own path in framing the best possible answers to the questions he investigated. An impoverished, largely unschooled manual laborer who had survived the worst effects of the Great Depression in the United States, Hoffer was a passionate autodidact whose philosophical and psychological education came from omnivorous reading. Working without the help of any mentors, he forged the fearsomely creative and individual approach to problems demonstrated in The True Believer. The book, which earned him his reputation, examines the different phenomena of fanaticism – religious or political – and applies Hoffer’s analytical skills to reveal that, deep down, all ‘true believers’ display the same needs and tendencies, whatever their final choice of belief. Incisive and persuasive, it remains a classic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1646890630619-1Z2I8QKYPCON4DTJZCBC/BigWhiteGhetto.jpg Book Recommendations - Big White Ghetto An Appalachian economy that uses cases of Pepsi as money. Life in a homeless camp in Austin. A young woman whose résumé reads, “Topless Chick, Uncredited.” Remorselessly unsentimental, Kevin D. Williamson is a chronicler of American underclass dysfunction unlike any other. From the hollows of Eastern Kentucky to the porn business in Las Vegas, from the casinos of Atlantic City to the heroin rehabs of New Orleans, he depicts an often brutal reality that does not fit nicely into any political narrative or comfort any partisan. Coming from the world he writes about, Williamson understands it in a way that most commentators on American politics and culture simply can’t. In these sometimes savage and often hilarious essays, he takes readers on a wild tour of the wreckage of the American republic—the “white minstrel show” of right-wing grievance politics, progressive politicians addicted to gambling revenue, the culture of passive victimhood, and the reality of permanent poverty. Unsparing yet never unsympathetic, Big White Ghetto provides essential insight into an enormous but forgotten segment of American society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1646945451183-HUP1435UJL4XUWRJ8F78/Hollow-Resistance-1.png Book Recommendations - Hollow Resistance Obama, Trump and the Politics of Appeasement The horror is all around us. It proliferates our daily news. It dominates social media. The economy is in shambles. The COVID pandemic is spreading like wildfire while we face the strangest US election in modern history. If you want to make sense of it all, Hollow Resistance is required reading. In CounterPunch’s latest book, radical historian Paul Street recounts the Democrats’ culpability in the rise of Trump and explains how his neofascist horrors took root during the Obama years, and will live on even if Joe Biden is victorious in November. Paul Street is a historian, journalist, and political commentator in Chicago. He is the author of many books, including Barack Obama and the Future of American Politics (Routledge, 2008).

The world we have known is disappearing and a new world is being born. The subjects taught in schools and universities today are becoming irrelevant at faster and faster rates. Not only are we facing complex challenges of unprecedented size and scope, we’re also facing a learning and capacity deficit that threatens the future of civilization. Education in a Time Between Worlds seeks to reframe this historical moment as an opportunity to create a global society of educational abundance. Educational systems must be transformed beyond recognition if humanity is to survive the planetary crises currently underway. Human development and learning must be understood as the Earth's most valuable resources, with human potential serving as the open frontier into which energy and hope can begin to flow. The expansive essays within this book cover a diverse array of topics, including social justice, the neuroscience of learning, deschooling, educational technology, standardized testing, the future of spirituality, basic income guarantees, and integral meta-theory. As an invitation to re-vision the future of schools, technology, and society, Education in a Time Between Worlds replaces apathy and despair with agency, transformation, and hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1647320969076-LDGHKP4TW9E4TC3Y5YLG/WeDon%27tKnow.jpg Book Recommendations - We Don't Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland Fintan O’Toole was born in the year the revolution began. It was 1958, and the Irish government―in despair, because all the young people were leaving―opened the country to foreign investment and popular culture. So began a decades-long, ongoing experiment with Irish national identity. In We Don’t Know Ourselves, O’Toole, one of the Anglophone world’s most consummate stylists, weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary “backwater” to an almost totally open society―perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history. Born to a working-class family in the Dublin suburbs, O’Toole served as an altar boy and attended a Christian Brothers school, much as his forebears did. He was enthralled by American Westerns suddenly appearing on Irish television, which were not that far from his own experience, given that Ireland’s main export was beef and it was still not unknown for herds of cattle to clatter down Dublin’s streets. Yet the Westerns were a sign of what was to come. O’Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish, women in particular. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism. In O’Toole’s telling, America became a lodestar, from John F. Kennedy’s 1963 visit, when the soon-to-be martyred American president was welcomed as a native son, to the emergence of the Irish technology sector in the late 1990s, driven by American corporations, which set Ireland on the path toward particular disaster during the 2008 financial crisis. A remarkably compassionate yet exacting observer, O’Toole in coruscating prose captures the peculiar Irish habit of “deliberate unknowing,” which allowed myths of national greatness to persist even as the foundations were crumbling. Forty years in the making, We Don’t Know Ourselves is a landmark work, a memoir and a national history that ultimately reveals how the two modes are entwined for all of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1650773516508-A1M3ZDB75UH00LREIU3N/ConsequencesOfCapitalism.jpg Book Recommendations - Consequences of Capitalism How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1650813882292-V99R2KE1W2KZOWALI5AB/TheInfiniteResource.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet Climate change. Finite fossil fuels. Fresh water depletion. Rising commodity prices. Ocean acidification. Overpopulation. Deforestation. Feeding the world’s billions. We’re beset by an array of natural resource and environmental challenges. They pose a tremendous risk to human prosperity, to world peace, and to the planet itself. Yet, if we act, these problems are addressable. Throughout history we’ve overcome similar problems, but only when we’ve focused our energies on innovation. For the most valuable resource we have isn’t oil, water, gold, or land – it’s our stockpile of useful ideas, and our continually growing capacity to expand them. In this remarkable book, Ramez Naam charts a course to supercharge innovation – by changing the rules of our economy – that can lead the whole world to greater wealth and human well-being, even as we dodge looming resource crunches and environmental disasters and reduce our impact on the planet. “Most books about the future are written by blinkered Pollyannas or hand-wringing Cassandras. Ramez Naam—Egypt-born, Illinois-raised, a major contributor to the computer revolution—is neither. Having thought about science, technology and the environment for decades, he has become that rarest of creatures: a clear-eyed optimist. Concise, informed and passionately argued, The Infinite Resource both acknowledges the very real dangers that lie ahead for the human enterprise and the equally real possibility that we might not only survive but thrive.” —Charles Mann, New York Times bestselling author of 1491 and 1493 “An amazing book. Throughout history, the most important source of new wealth has been new ideas. Naam shows how we can tap into and steer that force to overcome our current problems and help create a world of abundance.” —Peter H.

At this moment of crisis in world affairs, this necessary book from a seasoned peacebuilder and acclaimed expert in the field lays out the root causes and remedies for war and explain the reasons why conflict wins over compromise; and how peacemakers can turn the tides once conflict threatens to or becomes war. Its message could not be more urgent right now. Why We Fight draws on decades of economics, political science, psychology, and real-world interventions to lay out the root causes and remedies for war, showing that violence is not the norm; that there are only five reasons why conflict wins over compromise; and how peacemakers turn the tides through tinkering, not transformation. From warring states to street gangs, ethnic groups and religious sects to political factions, there are common dynamics to heed and lessons to learn. Along the way, through Blattman’s time studying Medellín, Chicago, Sudan, England, and more, we learn from vainglorious monarchs, dictators, mobs, pilots, football hooligans, ancient peoples, and fanatics. What of remedies that shift incentives away from violence and get parties back to dealmaking? Societies are surprisingly good at interrupting and ending violence when they want to—even gangs do it. Realistic and optimistic, this is a book that lends new meaning to the adage “Give peace a chance.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1677831814712-AUH04HPJPX948K3X03W5/SurveillanceValley.jpeg Book Recommendations - Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built. In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levine uncovers the secret origins of the internet, tracing it back to a Pentagon counterinsurgency surveillance project. A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized that the key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning the enemy, but using new information technology to understand their motives and anticipate their movements. This idea -- using computers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat, both at home and abroad -- drove ARPA to develop the internet in the 1960s, and continues to be at the heart of the modern internet we all know and use today. As Levine shows, surveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on the internet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology. But this isn't just a story about the NSA or other domestic programs run by the government. As the book spins forward in time, Levine examines the private surveillance business that powers tech-industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, revealing how these companies spy on their users for profit, all while doing double duty as military and intelligence contractors. Levine shows that the military and Silicon Valley are effectively inseparable: a military-digital complex that permeates everything connected to the internet, even coopting and weaponizing the antigovernment privacy movement that sprang up in the wake of Edward Snowden. With deep research, skilled storytelling, and provocative arguments, Surveillance Valley will change the way you think about the news -- and the device on which you read it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1651057747220-514CJQGR0SGVEM60CJM2/WorldAfterLiberalism.jpg Book Recommendations - World after Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right In this eye-opening book, Matthew Rose introduces us to one of the most controversial intellectual movements of the twentieth century, the “radical right,” and discusses its adherents’ different attempts to imagine political societies after the death or decline of liberalism. Questioning democracy’s most basic norms and practices, these critics rejected ideas about human equality, minority rights, religious toleration, and cultural pluralism not out of implicit biases, but out of explicit principle. They disagree profoundly on race, religion, economics, and political strategy, but they all agree that a postliberal political life will soon be possible. Focusing on the work of Oswald Spengler, Julius Evola, Francis Parker Yockey, Alain de Benoist, and Samuel Francis, Rose shows how such thinkers are animated by religious aspirations and anxieties that are ultimately in tension with Christian teachings and the secular values those teachings birthed in modernity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654532523917-NYHLEBEOMJ195FZEKOEN/OpenMindedProgressives.jpeg Book Recommendations - AN OPEN LETTER TO OPEN-MINDED PROGRESSIVES Are you an open-minded progressive?

S. Lewis reworks the timeless myth of Cupid and Psyche into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction in this novel about the struggle between sacred and profane love. Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1654975118025-DHICMY1OWE2L6GR51A4R/ScientificRevolutions.jpg Book Recommendations - The Structure of Scientific Revolutions "A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success." —Nicholas Wade, Science "Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery." —William Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review "Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . .

As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. And he is curious: What the hell happened? In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, on the rise of the religious right, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope. And he wonders if any of that trinity of his youth―The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon―could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1656735476432-LP9VGQAOL3GQBM6S3MBL/Internationalist.jpg Book Recommendations - The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World A bold and provocative history of the men who fought to outlaw war and how an often overlooked treaty signed in 1928 was among the most transformative events in modern history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1656923738456-WZ31SSQ1R35ZG6EIQWQD/NetworkState.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Network State: How To Start a New Country This book introduces the concept of the network state: a country you can start from your computer, a state that recruits like a startup, a nation built from the internet rather than disrupted by it. The fundamental concept behind the network state is to assemble a digital community and organize it to crowdfund physical territory. But that territory is not in one place — it’s spread around the world, fully decentralized, hooked together by the internet for a common cause, much like Google’s offices or Bitcoin’s miners. And because every citizen has opted in, it’s a model for 100% democracy rather than the minimum threshold of consent modeled by 51% democracies. Of course, there are countless questions that need to be answered to build something of this scope. How does a network state work socially, technically, logistically, legally, physically, financially? How could such a thing even be viable? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657015094940-ECOOGPIDEDMKXDQXAANZ/GlauconFate.jpg Book Recommendations - Glaucon's Fate: History, Myth, and Character in Plato's Republic “Glaucon's Fate is one of the most interesting and insightful treatments of Plato's Republic in years . . .

They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political, and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realization sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years. In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires—including the Dutch, the British, and the American—putting into perspective the “Big Cycle” that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history. He reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657258164229-ANW9DU3DC9VDY7QYFVO7/BeginningWorldEnd.jpg Book Recommendations - The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization 2019 was the last great year for the world economy. For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. Complex, innovative industries were created to satisfy American consumers. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe. All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending. In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging. The list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world - from how we manufacture products, to how we grow food, to how we keep the lights on, to how we shuttle stuff about, to how we pay for it all - is about to change. In customary Zeihan fashion, rather than yelling fire in the geoeconomic theatre, he narrates the accumulation of matchsticks, gasoline, and dynamite in the hands of the oblivious audience, suggesting we might want to call the fire department. A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with foresight, wit, and his trademark irreverence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657527251684-WGWF3PEE2N26UAT50014/Epistemology.jpg Book Recommendations - This Is Epistemology: An Introduction (This is Philosophy) What is knowledge? Why is it valuable? How much of it do we have (if any at all), and what ways of thinking are good ways to use to get more of it? These are just a few questions that are asked in epistemology, roughly, the philosophical theory of knowledge. This is Epistemology is a comprehensive introduction to the philosophical study of the nature, origin, and scope of human knowledge. Exploring both classic debates and contemporary issues in epistemology, this rigorous yet accessible textbook provides readers with the foundation necessary to start doing epistemology. Organized around 11 key subtopics, and assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this volume exposes readers to diverse, often contentious perspectives—guiding readers through crucial debates including Hume’s problem of induction, Descartes’ engagement with radical skepticism, rationalist and empiricist evaluations of a priori justification, and many more. The authors avoid complex technical terms and jargon in favor of an easy-to-follow, informal writing style with engaging chapters designed to stimulate student interest and encourage class discussion. Throughout the text, a wealth of up-to-date references and links to online resources are provided to enable further investigation of an array of epistemological topics. A balanced and authoritative addition to the acclaimed This is Philosophy series, This is Epistemology is a perfect primary textbook for philosophy undergraduates, and a valuable resource for general readers with interest in this important branch of philosophy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657687560744-YBG9ZR9ABS9JO2JK9IBV/ManFromFuture.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Man from the Future: The Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann Born in Budapest at the turn of the century, von Neumann is one of the most influential scientists to have ever lived. A child prodigy, he mastered calculus by the age of eight, and in high school made lasting contributions to mathematics. In Germany, where he helped lay the foundations of quantum mechanics, and later at Princeton, von Neumann’s colleagues believed he had the fastest brain on the planet—bar none. He was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and the design of the atom bomb; he helped formulate the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory; he created the first ever programmable digital computer; he prophesized the potential of nanotechnology; and, from his deathbed, he expounded on the limits of brains and computers—and how they might be overcome. Taking us on an astonishing journey, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and unique historical circumstance allowed a single man to sweep through a stunningly diverse array of fields, sparking revolutions wherever he went. The Man from the Future is an insightful and thrilling intellectual biography of the visionary thinker who shaped our century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657687735419-50MG88T49GLBEG54NWYA/Sleepwalkers.jpg Book Recommendations - The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1657961454611-87UCZQH290ZW8BLDDJK0/CynicalTheories.jpg Book Recommendations - Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society? In this probing and intrepid volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Today this dogma is recognizable as much by its effects, such as cancel culture and social-media dogpiles, as by its tenets, which are all too often embraced as axiomatic in mainstream media: knowledge is a social construct; science and reason are tools of oppression; all human interactions are sites of oppressive power play; and language is dangerous. As Pluckrose and Lindsay warn, the unchecked proliferation of these anti-Enlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself. While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency of those who think a just society has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how this often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalized communities it claims to champion. They also detail its alarmingly inconsistent and illiberal ethics. Only through a proper understanding of the evolution of these ideas, they conclude, can those who value science, reason, and consistently liberal ethics successfully challenge this harmful and authoritarian orthodoxy—in the academy, in culture, and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660814835492-L5X5WGCTSJKNV2PLQSO9/Decentralist.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Decentralist: Mission, Morality, and Meaning in the Age of Crypto Power politics is a negative-sum game wrapped in a spectacle. It replaces community with conflict, compassion with compulsion, mutual aid with mutual animus. Yet a world beyond politics awaits. The Decentralist is an entry point into that world. As we build new societies, we must rediscover timeless truths, for each of us requires a foundation of mission, morality, and meaning. But we must labor under no illusions: as decentralization offers new experiments in living, Centralists threaten to steamroll over these delicate shoots of possibility. In this powerful book, Max Borders sets out a complete Decentralist philosophy. It’s more than the sum of technologies, he argues. If we reduce 'crypto' to mere trinkets and tokens, we will lose our humanist moorings and submit to authoritarians on the left and right. We must therefore prepare ourselves. Decentralism provides philosophical and practical tools for living and working in an uncertain future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1660896112868-LPDMAG1WEFERSA1SJ5UX/OrthodoxStudy.jpg Book Recommendations - The Orthodox Study Bible https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1661586663052-4M9UX23ILPPQIXPK9BHD/BetweenUS.jpg Book Recommendations - Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions A pioneer of cultural psychology argues that emotions are not innate, but made as we live our lives together. “How are you feeling today?” We may think of emotions as universal responses, felt inside, but in Between Us, acclaimed psychologist Batja Mesquita asks us to reconsider them through the lens of what they do in our relationships, both one-on-one and within larger social networks. From an outside-in perspective, readers will understand why pride in a Dutch context does not translate well to the same emotion in North Carolina, or why one’s anger at a boss does not mean the same as your anger at a partner in a close relationship. By looking outward at relationships at work, school, and home, we can better judge how our emotions will be understood, how they might change a situation, and how they change us. Brilliantly synthesizing original psychological studies and stories from peoples across time and geography, Between Us skillfully argues that acknowledging differences in emotions allows us to find common ground, humanizing and humbling us all for the better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1661757851306-12PC4WAXQ4F6PFNFTUH1/SourcesOfPower.jpg Book Recommendations - Sources of Power, 20th Anniversary Edition: How People Make Decisions A modern classic about how people really make decisions: drawing on prior experience, using a combination of intuition and analysis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1661765404461-7OGZ07DW6JJN0CFXGZ7C/CatholicsNeedKnowIslam.jpeg Book Recommendations - What Catholics Need to Know About Islam It is no longer permissible to have an honest conversation about Islam. Those who warn about Islam’s threat to our way of life are dismissed as racists and xenophobes by social elites and even by many in the Catholic hierarchy. For centuries, the Catholic Church served as a bulwark against Islamic expansion. Today the Church is an enabler of Islam, encouraging mass migration into the West and portraying Islam as a peace-loving religion that has nothing to do with terrorism. In this highly informative, hard-hitting book, Catholic author William Kilpatrick pulls no punches in courageously confronting the threats posed by Islam. He shows how Muslim activists are employing the same tactics that led to the meteoric rise of the LGBT movement and how they have systematically infiltrated the government, media, business, schools, and even churches. He explains how Western self-hatred and political correctness makes jihad possible, and he reveals how the media conceals and covers up for atrocities committed in the name of Islam. In many European countries, you can be arrested for criticizing Islam. Meanwhile, desecration of churches is on the rise, police fear to enter Muslim zones, and London has become the acid-attack capital of the world. Europe is slowly capitulating to Islam, writes Kilpatrick, and the same can happen here if we don’t wake up in time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1661837437176-YNW0B1J557YM76P5VLVD/HomageToCatalonia.jpg Book Recommendations - Homage to Catalonia: George Orwell Homage to Catalonia remains one of the most famous accounts of the Spanish Civil War. With characteristic scrutiny, Orwell questions the actions and motives of all sides whilst retaining his firm beliefs in human courage and the need for radical social change. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by Helen Graham, a leading historian on the Spanish Civil War. When George Orwell arrived in Spain in 1936, he signed up to fight with the Republican army against Fascism. Homage to Catalonia is his bracing personal account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. From the front line he describes, with brutal honesty, the frustrations and inefficiencies of battle; he is caught up in vicious street fighting in Barcelona and must flee for his life when Republican factions turn on each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662100145120-IJ8AUGEUGRIWUSQJM3X2/ScienceStorytelling.jpg Book Recommendations - The Science of Storytelling: Why Stories Make Us Human and How to Tell Them Better The compelling, groundbreaking guide to creative writing that reveals how the brain responds to storytelling Stories shape who we are. They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions and mold our beliefs. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. So, how do master storytellers compel us? In The Science of Storytelling, award-winning writer and acclaimed teacher of creative writing Will Storr applies dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to our myths and archetypes to show how we can write better stories, revealing, among other things, how storytellers—and also our brains—create worlds by being attuned to moments of unexpected change. Will Storr’s superbly chosen examples range from Harry Potter to Jane Austen to Alice Walker, Greek drama to Russian novels to Native American folk tales, King Lear to Breaking Bad to children’s stories. With sections such as “The Dramatic Question,” “Creating a World,” and “Plot, Endings, and Meaning,” as well as a practical, step-by-step appendix dedicated to “The Sacred Flaw Approach,” The Science of Storytelling reveals just what makes stories work, placing it alongside such creative writing classics as John Yorke’s Into the Woods: A Five-Act Journey into Story and Lajos Egri’s The Art of Dramatic Writing. Enlightening and empowering, The Science of Storytelling is destined to become an invaluable resource for writers of all stripes, whether novelist, screenwriter, playwright, or writer of creative or traditional nonfiction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662710830677-V7VAMUAS4KHN437CVRVQ/InconvenientApocalypse.jpg Book Recommendations - An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity Confronting harsh ecological realities and the multiple cascading crises facing our world today, An Inconvenient Apocalypse argues that humanity’s future will be defined not by expansion but by contraction. For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse―and yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress―the dream of a future of endless bounty―are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond simple or nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today’s social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today’s systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, Jackson and Jensen weave a secular reading of theological concepts―the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace―to chart a collective, realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge on the other side with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662966497752-EAIXJ7H96APCJ9F6KWVJ/GoodnessParadox.jpg Book Recommendations - The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution “A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical forebears, and contemporary neighbors.” —Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature We Homo sapiens can be the nicest of species and also the nastiest. What occurred during human evolution to account for this paradox? What are the two kinds of aggression that primates are prone to, and why did each evolve separately? How does the intensity of violence among humans compare with the aggressive behavior of other primates? How did humans domesticate themselves? And how were the acquisition of language and the practice of capital punishment determining factors in the rise of culture and civilization? Authoritative, provocative, and engaging, The Goodness Paradox offers a startlingly original theory of how, in the last 250 million years, humankind became an increasingly peaceful species in daily interactions even as its capacity for coolly planned and devastating violence remains undiminished. In tracing the evolutionary histories of reactive and proactive aggression, biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham forcefully and persuasively argues for the necessity of social tolerance and the control of savage divisiveness still haunting us today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1662995193173-YIXX8UTDXMCUHAO5P5MS/BenedictOption.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation "Already the most discussed and most important religious book of the decade." —David Brooks In this controversial bestseller, Rod Dreher calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life. From the inside, American churches have been hollowed out by the departure of young people and by an insipid pseudo–Christianity. From the outside, they are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. Keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House may have bought a brief reprieve from the state’s assault, but it will not stop the West’s slide into decadence and dissolution. Rod Dreher argues that the way forward is actu­ally the way back—all the way to St. Benedict of Nur­sia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the moral chaos following Rome’s fall, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians. He built enduring communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. His spiritual centers of hope were strongholds of light throughout the Dark Ages, and saved not just Christianity but Western civilization. Today, a new form of barbarism reigns. Many believers are blind to it, and their churches are too weak to resist. Politics offers little help in this spiritual crisis. What is needed is the Benedict Option, a strategy that draws on the authority of Scripture and the wisdom of the ancient church. The goal: to embrace exile from mainstream culture and construct a resilient counterculture. The Benedict Option is both manifesto and rallying cry for Christians who, if they are not to be conquered, must learn how to fight on culture war battlefields like none the West has seen for fifteen hundred years. It's for all mere Chris­tians—Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox—who can read the signs of the times. Neither false optimism nor fatalistic despair will do. Only faith, hope, and love, embodied in a renewed church, can sustain believers in the dark age that has overtaken us. These are the days for building strong arks for the long journey across a sea of night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1663144897165-6LVGD1TIRR4OMJAY0XD4/DeathOnWStreet.jpg Book Recommendations - A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy In the early hours of July 10, 2016, gunshots rang out and a young man lay fatally wounded on a quiet Washington, DC, street. But who killed Seth Rich? When he was buried in his hometown, his rabbi declared: “There are no answers for a young man gunned down in the prime of his life.” The rabbi was wrong. There were in fact many answers, way too many. In the absence of an arrest, a howling mob filled the void. Wild speculation and fantastical theories surfaced on social media and gained traction thanks to a high-level cast of provocateurs. But it wasn’t until Fox News took the rumors from the fringes to the mainstream that Seth Rich’s life and death grew into something altogether unexpected—one of the foundational conspiracy theories of modern times. A Death on W Street unravels this gripping saga of murder, madness, and political chicanery, one that would ensnare Hillary Clinton and Steve Bannon, a popular pizzeria in northwest DC and the most powerful voices in American media. It's the story of an idealistic twenty-seven-year-old political staffer who became a tragic victim of the culture wars, until his family decided that they had no choice but to defend his name and put an end to the cruel deceptions that surrounded his death. This is the definitive story of Seth Rich, of those who tried to weaponize his memory in a war of words unlike any other, and of one family’s crusade to protect the truth against all odds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1663658488737-3KV91C6WCAV7OYLT1R32/LordsEasyMoney.jpg Book Recommendations - The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy The New York Times bestselling business journalist Christopher Leonard infiltrates one of America’s most mysterious institutions—the Federal Reserve—to show how its policies spearheaded by Chairman Jerome Powell over the past ten years have accelerated income inequality and put our country’s economic stability at risk. If you asked most people what forces led to today’s unprecedented income inequality and financial crashes, no one would say the Federal Reserve. For most of its history, the Fed has enjoyed the fawning adoration of the press. When the economy grew, it was credited to the Fed. When the economy imploded in 2008, the Fed got credit for rescuing us. But the Fed also has a unique power to reshape the American economy for the worse, which it did, fatefully, on November 4, 2010 through a radical intervention called quantitative easing. In just a few short years, the Fed more than quadrupled the money supply with one goal: to encourage banks and other investors to extend more risky debt. Leaders at the Fed knew that they were undertaking a bold experiment that would produce few real jobs, with long-term risks that were hard to measure. But the Fed proceeded anyway...and then found itself trapped. Once it printed all that money, there was no way to withdraw it from circulation. The Fed tried several times, only to see market start to crash, at which point the Fed turned the money spigot back on. That’s what it did when COVID hit, printing 300 years’ worth of money in two short months. Which brings us to now: Ten years on, the gap between the rich and poor has grown dramatically, stock prices are trading far above what’s justified by actual corporate profits, corporate debt in America is at an all-time high, and this debt is being traded by big banks on Wall Street, leaving them vulnerable—just as they were during the mortgage boom. Middle-class wages have barely budged in a decade, and consumers are buried under credit card debt, car loan debt, and student debt. The Lords of Easy Money tells the shocking, riveting tale of how quantitative easing is imperiling the American economy through the story of the one man who tried to warn us. This will be the first inside story of how we really got here—and why we face a frightening future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1664693701338-2ITVH0DKLJ8I11IZSVL2/HeroThousandFaces.jpg Book Recommendations - The Hero with a Thousand Faces (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) Since its release in 1949, The Hero with a Thousand Faces has influenced millions of readers by combining the insights of modern psychology with Joseph Campbell’s revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology. In these pages, Campbell outlines the Hero’s Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through virtually all of the world’s mythic traditions. He also explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, the mythic pattern of world creation and destruction. As part of the Joseph Campbell Foundation’s Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, this third edition features expanded illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and more accessible sidebars. As relevant today as when it was first published, The Hero with a Thousand Faces continues to find new audiences in fields ranging from religion and anthropology to literature and film studies. The book has also profoundly influenced creative artists—including authors, songwriters, game designers, and filmmakers—and continues to inspire all those interested in the inherent human need to tell stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1666166007702-ZL9N89TDKYTMJBMOB095/PrimacyOfDoubt.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Primacy of Doubt: From Quantum Physics to Climate Change, How the Science of Uncertainty Can Help Us Understand Our Chaotic World Learn how the tools that enabled us to overcome the uncertainty of the weather will enable us to find new answers to modern science's most pressing questions. Why does your weather app say “There’s a 10% chance of rain” instead of “It will be sunny tomorrow”? In large part this is due to the insight of Tim Palmer, who made uncertainty essential to the study of weather and climate. Now he wants to apply it to how we study everything else. In The Primacy of Doubt, Palmer argues that embracing the mathematics of uncertainty is vital to understanding ourselves and the universe around us. Whether we want to predict climate change or market crashes, understand how the brain is able to outpace supercomputers, or find a theory that links quantum and cosmological physics, Palmer shows how his vision of mathematical uncertainty provides new insights into some of the deepest problems in science. The result is a revolution—one that shows that power begins by embracing what we don’t know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1667426815839-2PCDLYK5GLTG2DIUEHFS/CodeOfCapital.jpg Book Recommendations - The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality A compelling explanation of how the law shapes the distribution of wealth Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital―and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients’ needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations―assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1668716036198-BM77000I6UT0U5FTTNHV/Gift.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Gift: Forms and Functions of Exchange in Archaic Societies This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Increasingly, protesters on both ends of the political spectrum and the media are using the word “corrupt” to describe an elusory system of power that has shed any accountability to those it was meant to help and govern. But what does corruption and unaccountability mean in today’s world? It is far more toxic and deeply routed than bribery. From Super PACs pouring secret money into our election system, to companies buying better ratings from Standard & Poors, or the exteme influence of lobbyists in congress, all are embody a “new corruption” and remain unaccountable to our society’s supposed watchdogs, which sit idly alongside the same groups that have brought the government, business and much of the military in to their pocket. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1669785111974-9MY6K7Q38TLKORT4H5KK/Globalists.jpeg Book Recommendations - Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. Slobodian begins in Austria in the 1920s. Empires were dissolving and nationalism, socialism, and democratic self-determination threatened the stability of the global capitalist system. In response, Austrian intellectuals called for a new way of organizing the world. But they and their successors in academia and government, from such famous economists as Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises to influential but lesser-known figures such as Wilhelm Röpke and Michael Heilperin, did not propose a regime of laissez-faire. Rather they used states and global institutions―the League of Nations, the European Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization, and international investment law―to insulate the markets against sovereign states, political change, and turbulent democratic demands for greater equality and social justice. Far from discarding the regulatory state, neoliberals wanted to harness it to their grand project of protecting capitalism on a global scale. It was a project, Slobodian shows, that changed the world, but that was also undermined time and again by the inequality, relentless change, and social injustice that accompanied it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1670650369476-YLB7MR2YSJZQVOI3IG3N/MythOfNormal.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture 'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing' Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs. So what is 'normal' when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Maté has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance. Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Maté connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing. Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other and our authentic selves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1670653877241-VJ3YPLBI4H4U3NNB6Q5J/American+Midnight.jpeg Book Recommendations - American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis National Bestseller * a New York Times, Washington Post and New Yorker "Best Books of 2022" selection * New York Times Editor's Choice * a most anticipated book of Fall 2022: the New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune From legendary historian Adam Hochschild, a "masterly" (New York Times) reassessment of the overlooked but startlingly resonant period between World War I and the Roaring Twenties, when the foundations of American democracy were threatened by war, pandemic, and violence fueled by battles over race, immigration, and the rights of labor The nation was on the brink. Mobs burned Black churches to the ground. Courts threw thousands of people into prison for opinions they voiced—in one notable case, only in private. Self-appointed vigilantes executed tens of thousands of citizens' arrests. Some seventy-five newspapers and magazines were banned from the mail and forced to close. When the government stepped in, it was often to fan the flames. This was America during and after the Great War: a brief but appalling era blighted by lynchings, censorship, and the sadistic, sometimes fatal abuse of conscientious objectors in military prisons—a time whose toxic currents of racism, nativism, red-baiting, and contempt for the rule of law then flowed directly through the intervening decades to poison our own. It was a tumultuous period defined by a diverse and colorful cast of characters, some of whom fueled the injustice while others fought against it: from the sphinxlike Woodrow Wilson, to the fiery antiwar advocates Kate Richards O'Hare and Emma Goldman, to labor champion Eugene Debs, to a little-known but ambitious bureaucrat named J. Edgar Hoover, and to an outspoken leftwing agitator—who was in fact Hoover's star undercover agent. It is a time that we have mostly forgotten about, until now. InAmerican Midnight, award-winning historian Adam Hochschild brings alive the horrifying yet inspiring four years following the U.S. entry into the First World War, spotlighting forgotten repression while celebrating an unforgettable set of Americans who strove to fix their fractured country—and showing how their struggles still guide us today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1671181724949-EBKBW4CIPRSRXXA1Q41E/Fifth+Discipline.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization This revised edition of the bestselling classic is based on fifteen years of experience in putting Peter Senge’s ideas into practice. As Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive advantage is your organization’s ability to learn faster than the competition. The leadership stories demonstrate the many ways that the core ideas of the Fifth Discipline, many of which seemed radical when first published, have become deeply integrated into people’s ways of seeing the world and their managerial practices. Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning blocks that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations, in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create the results they truly desire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1673206765513-O4A904ECUZPRY72L9UN6/LosingEarth.jpeg Book Recommendations - Losing Earth: The Decade We Could Have Stopped Climate Change 'The story of how we got here is perhaps the most important one to be told, because it is both a cautionary tale and an unfinished one.' Jonathan Safran Foer By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change – what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed. Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking account of that failure – and how tantalizingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and politicians committed to anti-scientific denialism – is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of the New York Times Magazine that has earned favorable comparisons to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and John Hersey’s Hiroshima. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation. In the book Losing Earth, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did – and didn’t – happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us in 2019. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1674896587812-HH27TOLLXJSKUR62GK28/Control.jpeg Book Recommendations - Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics How did an obscure academic idea pave the way to the Holocaust within just fifty years? Control is a book about eugenics, what geneticist Adam Rutherford calls “a defining idea of the twentieth century.” Inspired by Darwin’s ideas about evolution, eugenics arose in Victorian England as a theory for improving the British population, and quickly spread to America, where it was embraced by presidents, funded by Gilded Age monopolists, and enshrined into racist American laws that became the ideological cornerstone of the Third Reich. Despite this horrific legacy, eugenics looms large today as the advances in genetics in the last thirty years―from the sequencing of the human genome to modern gene editing techniques―have brought the idea of population purification back into the mainstream. Eugenics has “a short history, but a long past,” Rutherford writes. The first half of Control is the history of an idea, from its roots in key philosophical texts of the classical world all the way into their genocidal enactment in the twentieth century. The second part of the book explores how eugenics operates today, as part of our language and culture, as part of current political and racial discussions, and as an eternal temptation to powerful people who wish to improve society through reproductive control. With disarming wit and scientific precision, Rutherford explains why eugenics still figures prominently in the twenty-first century, despite its genocidal past. And he confronts insidious recurring questions―did eugenics work in Nazi Germany? And could it work today?―revealing the intellectual bankruptcy of the idea, and the scientific impossibility of its realization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1674898575907-D6VWPWDIR5FOQ9H3TBMJ/Precipice.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity This urgent and eye-opening book makes the case that protecting humanity's future is the central challenge of our time. If all goes well, human history is just beginning. Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back. Since then, these dangers have only multiplied, from climate change to engineered pathogens and artificial intelligence. If we do not act fast to reach a place of safety, it will soon be too late. Drawing on over a decade of research, The Precipice explores the cutting-edge science behind the risks we face. It puts them in the context of the greater story of humanity: showing how ending these risks is among the most pressing moral issues of our time. And it points the way forward, to the actions and strategies that can safeguard humanity. An Oxford philosopher committed to putting ideas into action, Toby Ord has advised the US National Intelligence Council, the UK Prime Minister's Office, and the World Bank on the biggest questions facing humanity. In The Precipice, he offers a startling reassessment of human history, the future we are failing to protect, and the steps we must take to ensure that our generation is not the last. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1675233179762-IU7EF5YTRKYNPCQ1SZKA/GoToWar.jpeg Book Recommendations - What It Is Like to Go to War A precisely crafted and bracingly honest” memoir of war and its aftershocks from the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn (The Atlantic). In 1968, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in command of forty Marines who would live or die by his decisions. In his thirteen-month tour he saw intense combat, killing the enemy and watching friends die. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his experiences. In What It Is Like to Go to War, Marlantes takes a candid look at these experiences and critically examines how we might better prepare young soldiers for war. In the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion, and literature—which also helped bring them home. While contemplating ancient works from Homer to the Mahabharata, Marlantes writes of the daily contradictions modern warriors are subject to, of being haunted by the face of a young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters, and of how he finally found a way to make peace with his past. Through it all, he demonstrates just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of the journey. In this memoir, the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn offers “a well-crafted and forcefully argued work that contains fresh and important insights into what it’s like to be in a war and what it does to the human psyche” (The Washington Post). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1677482277158-8KBZGSEDSVHUO6NECPXN/PaloAlto.jpeg Book Recommendations - Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World The history of Silicon Valley, from railroads to microchips, is an “extraordinary”* story of disruption and destruction, told for the first time in this comprehensive, jaw-dropping narrative. (*Greg Grandin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The End of the Myth) Palo Alto’s weather is temperate, its people are educated and enterprising, its corporations are spiritually and materially ambitious and demonstrably world-changing. Palo Alto is also a haunted toxic waste dump built on stolen Indian burial grounds, and an integral part of the capitalist world system. In PALO ALTO, the first comprehensive, global history of Silicon Valley, Malcolm Harris examines how and why Northern California evolved in the particular, consequential way it did, tracing the ideologies, technologies, and policies that have been engineered there over the course of 150 years of Anglo settler colonialism, from IQ tests to the "tragedy of the commons," racial genetics, and "broken windows" theory. The Internet and computers, too. It's a story about how a small American suburb became a powerful engine for economic growth and war, and how it came to lead the world into a surprisingly disastrous 21st century. PALO ALTO is an urgent and visionary history of the way we live now, one that ends with a clear-eyed, radical proposition for how we might begin to change course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1678593462840-94PQ1N29DPUFUYUYJ047/Free+Market.jpeg Book Recommendations - Free Market: The History of an Idea From a MacArthur “Genius,” an intellectual history of the free market, from ancient Rome to the twenty-first century After two government bailouts of the US economy in less than twenty years, free market ideology is due for serious reappraisal. In Free Market, Jacob Soll details how we got to this current crisis, and how we can find our way out by looking to earlier iterations of free market thought. Contrary to popular narratives, early market theorists believed that states had an important role in building and maintaining free markets. But in the eighteenth century, thinkers insisted on free markets without state intervention, leading to a tradition of ideological brittleness. That tradition only calcified in the centuries that followed. Tracing the intellectual evolution of the free market from Cicero to Milton Friedman, Soll argues that we need to go back to the origins of free market ideology in order to truly understand it—and to develop new economic concepts to face today’s challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1679561295391-QRT72LX25TRX3VOZCZCE/American+Exception.jpeg Book Recommendations - American Exception: Empire and the Deep State American Exception seeks to explain the breakdown of US democracy. In particular, how we can understand the uncanny continuity of American foreign policy, the breakdown of the rule of law, and the extreme concentration of wealth and power into an overworld of the corporate rich. To trace the evolution of the American state, the author takes a deep politics approach, shedding light on those political practices that are typically repressed in “mainstream” discourse. In its long history before World War II, the US had a deep political system—a system of governance in which decision-making and enforcement were carried out within—and outside of—public institutions. It was a system that always included some degree of secretive collusion and law-breaking. After World War II, US elites decided to pursue global dominance over the international capitalist system. Setting aside the liberal rhetoric, this project was pursued in a manner that was by and large imperialistic rather than progressive. To administer this covert empire, US elites created a massive national security state characterized by unprecedented levels of secrecy and lawlessness. The “Global Communist Conspiracy” provided a pretext for exceptionism—an endless “exception” to the rule of law. What gradually emerged after World War II was a tripartite state system of governance. The open democratic state and the authoritarian security state were both increasingly dominated by an American deep state. The term deep state was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it herein refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions. Key institutions involve the relationships between the overworld of the corporate rich, the underworld of organized crime, and the national security actors that mediate between them. History-making interventions include the toppling of foreign governments, the launching of aggressive wars, and the political assassinations of the 1960s. The book concludes by assessing the prospects for a revival of US democracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1679844446707-0KRFIBBEQ8I2R8QDR5C2/Big+Myth.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market "A carefully researched work of intellectual history, and an urgently needed political analysis." --Jane Mayer “[A] scorching indictment of free market fundamentalism … and how we can change, before it's too late.”-Esquire, Best Books of Winter 2023 The bestselling authors of Merchants of Doubt offer a profound, startling history of one of America's most tenacious--and destructive--false ideas: the myth of the "free market." In their bestselling book Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway revealed the origins of climate change denial. Now, they unfold the truth about another disastrous dogma: the “magic of the marketplace.” In the early 20th century, business elites, trade associations, wealthy powerbrokers, and media allies set out to build a new American orthodoxy: down with “big government” and up with unfettered markets. With startling archival evidence, Oreskes and Conway document campaigns to rewrite textbooks, combat unions, and defend child labor. They detail the ploys that turned hardline economists Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman into household names; recount the libertarian roots of the Little House on the Prairie books; and tune into the General Electric-sponsored TV show that beamed free-market doctrine to millions and launched Ronald Reagan's political career. By the 1970s, this propaganda was succeeding. Free market ideology would define the next half-century across Republican and Democratic administrations, giving us a housing crisis, the opioid scourge, climate destruction, and a baleful response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Only by understanding this history can we imagine a future where markets will serve, not stifle, democracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1681165219184-SW9I3JLC799GVNGE0NTZ/Hanzi-ListeningSociety.jpg Book Recommendations - The Listening Society: A Metamodern Guide to Politics Book One: Metamodern Guides, Book 1 "One of the best Politics ebooks of all time" - BookAuthority(bookauthority.org/books/best-politics-ebooks) As we move from the industrial age and its nation state to an internet age with a globalized postindustrial market a question presents itself: What is the next major developmental stage of society after the liberal democracy with a balance between capitalism and welfare state? In this book Hanzi Freinacht offers a compelling answer to this question. We are reaching the limits of modern society and we must work to achieve a metamodern society, that is, a society which goes beyond modern life and its institutions. The metamodern society of the future is a listening society; a society more sensitive to the inner dimensions of human beings. Drawing upon an elaborate weaving of psychology, sociology, political science and philosophy this book lands in a positive vision for the future. It shows how a clear description of human psychological growth - how we grow as human beings - can also offer us key insights into how global society can and should evolve in the internet age. A politics that can help humans grow to the later stages of psychological development is also one that can be capable of meeting the staggering challenges of our time. In the first part of the book Hanzi examines the politics and culture of the Nordic countries and shows how these progressive societies offer a fertile ground for metamodern politics. The basis of such metamodern politics is also described. In the second part of the book he turns to developmental psychology, describing how humans evolve through a series of stages - and how this matters immensely for the happiness and survival of us all. As this story unfolds - in a uniquely provocative genre breaking manner - you will also glean insight into your own developmental stage and those of people around you. Read with caution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1681165340463-QCEKE5RVJ7RYQ5PRU875/Hanzi-Nordic-Ideology.jpg Book Recommendations - Nordic Ideology: A Metamodern Guide to Politics, Book Two (Metamodern Guides 2) In Nordic Ideology, the anticipated sequel to The Listening Society, the great philosopher Hanzi Freinacht strikes again from his refuge in the Alps—now with a yet bolder mission: to write social and political theory as a page-turner. This book can be read independently of the first one and it outlines a path to a metamodern society, emerging from the Nordic countries—one that emerges from, but ultimately cancels and outcompetes modern society as we know it, while saving the world-system from collapse. How can this be achieved? Here, things get real. Not only do you get an overview of how society develops—what is higher freedom, deeper equality, a more intricate order of self-organization?—you get an actual plan-of-action for how to transform all of society and the people in it; indeed, even a strategy for how to organize and take charge of political development. Loved and despised, Hanzi leaves few readers untouched. No issue is too controversial, no source of knowledge taboo; while committed to deep democracy and freedom, Hanzi does not shy away from learning from the totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century. And indeed, the power of his vision, and the six new forms of metamodern politics introduced in the book, compels readers to act—to actualize the vision, or to stop the metamodernists at any cost. Serious meets fun, as sincerity meets irony, as politics meets poetry in this magisterial work of a unique and dangerous rebel scholar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1681371281456-7CQO94N6J5GG5CVA0HBT/Nature+Book.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Nature Book Part sweeping evocation of Earth’s rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a “literary supercut” that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction’s traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1693502707317-IAR22IV5FEUP43BWT695/EcologicalFootprint.jpeg Book Recommendations - Our Ecological Footprint: Reducing Human Impact on the Earth (New Catalyst Bioregional Series) Our Ecological Footprint presents an internationally-acclaimed tool for measuring and visualizing the resources required to sustain our households, communities, regions and nations, converting the seemingly complex concepts of carrying capacity, resource-use, waste-disposal and the like into a graphic form that everyone can grasp and use.

Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular circumstances namely the lectures Barth gave in war-shattered Germany in 1946, it has an urgency and a compassion which lend the text a powerful simplicity. Despite its brevity the book makes a tremendous impact, which in this new edition will now be felt by a fresh generation of readers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1749716309803-ESA5HHSONKTBSD33JMF0/empire+of+AI.jpg Book Recommendations - Empire of AI “Excellent and deeply reported.” —Tim Wu, The New York Times “Startling and intensely researched . . . an essential account of how OpenAI and ChatGPT came to be and the catastrophic places they will likely take us.” —Vulture “Hao’s reporting inside OpenAI is exceptional, and she’s persuasive in her argument that the public should focus less on A.I.’s putative ‘sentience’ and more on its implications for labor and the environment.” —Benjamin Wallace-Wells, New Yorker From a brilliant longtime AI insider with intimate access to the world of Sam Altman's OpenAI from the beginning, an eye-opening account of arguably the most fateful tech arms race in history, reshaping the planet in real time, from the cockpit of the company that is driving the frenzy When AI expert and investigative journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, the organization was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely mercantile, and potentially dangerous, forces. What could go wrong? Over time, Hao began to wrestle ever more deeply with that question. Increasingly, she realized that the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that its vision of success requires an almost unprecedented amount of resources: the “compute” power of high-end chips and the processing capacity to create massive large language models, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans “cleaning up” that data for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the usage of energy and water underlying it all. The truth is that we have entered a new and ominous age of empire: only a small handful of globally scaled companies can even enter the field of play. At the head of the pack with its ChatGPT breakthrough, how would OpenAI resist such temptations? Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Armed with Microsoft’s billions, OpenAI is setting a breakneck pace, chased by a small group of the most valuable companies in human history—toward what end, not even they can define. All this time, Hao has maintained her deep sourcing within the company and the industry, and so she was in intimate contact with the story that shocked the entire tech industry—Altman’s sudden firing and triumphant return. The behind-the-scenes story of what happened, told here in full for the first time, is revelatory of who the people controlling this technology really are. But this isn’t just the story of a single company, however fascinating it is. The g forces pressing down on the people of OpenAI are deforming the judgment of everyone else too—as such forces do. Naked power finds the ideology to cloak itself; no one thinks they’re the bad guy. But in the meantime, as Hao shows through intrepid reporting on the ground around the world, the enormous wheels of extraction grind on. By drawing on the viewpoints of Silicon Valley engineers, Kenyan data laborers, and Chilean water activists, Hao presents the fullest picture of AI and its impact we’ve seen to date, alongside a trenchant analysis of where things are headed. An astonishing eyewitness view from both up in the command capsule of the new economy and down where the real suffering happens, Empire of AI pierces the veil of the industry defining our era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1720762481179-OFCE1PQ1KLYNIY5WSRZU/Next+Revolution.jpg Book Recommendations - The Next Revolution: Popular Assemblies and the Promise of Direct Democracy From Athens to New York, recent mass movements around the world have challenged austerity and authoritarianism with expressions of real democracy. For more than forty years, Murray Bookchin developed these democratic aspirations into a new left politics based on popular assemblies, influencing a wide range of political thinkers and social movements. With a foreword by the best-selling author of The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin, The Next Revolution brings together Bookchin's essays on freedom and direct democracy for the first time, offering a bold political vision that can move us from protest to social transformation. A pioneering voice in the ecology and anarchist movements, he is the author of The Ecology of Freedom and Post-Scarcity Anarchism among many other books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1725535115973-HTFOZLS1V9D2S3VAKR2A/State+of+Terror+Israel.jpg Book Recommendations - State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel HOW VIOLENCE AND TERROR WERE USED BY ZIONIST MILITIAS AGAINST ARABS AND THE BRITISH TO TRANSFORM ARAB PALESTINE INTO A JEWISH STATE. ?This book shows how the use of terror by supporters of the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine was systematic, routine, and accepted by Jewish leaders as necessary to achieve their aims. At the height of the British Mandate in Palestine, terrorist acts were carried out at a frequency and with an intensity that has been largely forgotten, even though daily newspaper headlines in the US, Britain, and Palestine spoke of bombings, assassinations, and massacres against Arabs and British civilians, as well as soldiers. Suarez tells this story using the terrorists’ own accounts in secret internal papers boasting of their successes, and quoting from contemporary intelligence briefings and secret diplomatic correspondence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1725261982563-4AM0EQSQ2M4VLNTALU63/Israel+Lobby.jpg Book Recommendations - The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy Originally published in 2007, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy , by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. A work of major importance, it remains as relevant today as it was in the immediate aftermath of the Israel-Lebanon war of 2006. Mearsheimer and Walt describe in clear and bold terms the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. They provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East―in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict―and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest. The lobby's influence also affects America's relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror. The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy led to a sea change in how the U.S-Israel relationship was discussed, and continues to be one of the most talked-about books in foreign policy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1721905122249-IY44R4PF8AZ44RZ3B07F/Democracy+Inc.jpg Book Recommendations - Democracy Incorporated Democracy is struggling in America--by now this statement is almost cliché. But what if the country is no longer a democracy at all? In Democracy Incorporated, Sheldon Wolin considers the unthinkable: has America unwittingly morphed into a new and strange kind of political hybrid, one where economic and state powers are conjoined and virtually unbridled? Can the nation check its descent into what the author terms "inverted totalitarianism"? Wolin portrays a country where citizens are politically uninterested and submissive--and where elites are eager to keep them that way. At best the nation has become a "managed democracy" where the public is shepherded, not sovereign. At worst it is a place where corporate power no longer answers to state controls. Wolin makes clear that today's America is in no way morally or politically comparable to totalitarian states like Nazi Germany, yet he warns that unchecked economic power risks verging on total power and has its own unnerving pathologies. Wolin examines the myths and mythmaking that justify today's politics, the quest for an ever-expanding economy, and the perverse attractions of an endless war on terror. He argues passionately that democracy's best hope lies in citizens themselves learning anew to exercise power at the local level. Democracy Incorporated is one of the most worrying diagnoses of America's political ills to emerge in decades. It is sure to be a lightning rod for political debate for years to come. Now with a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Chris Hedges, Democracy Incorporated remains an essential work for understanding the state of democracy in America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719128951632-FH79V5CO4LQRYSAN872S/Palm+Sunday.jpg Book Recommendations - Palm Sunday FROM THE ONE-OF-A-KIND IMAGINATION THAT BROUGHT US SLAUGHTERHOUSE 5 AND CAT'S CRADLE 'Kurt Vonnegut is either the funniest serious writer around or the most serious funny writer' Los Angeles Times Book Review An 'autobiographical collage' of speeches, stories and essays, in Palm Sunday, Kurt Vonnegut writes beguilingly about everything from country music to George Bush, his favourite comedians to his mother's midnight mania, and bittersweet tributes to a dead best friend and a dead marriage.

Odum, has shaped politics and planning as nations, states, and localities begin the search for ways to adapt to a future with vastly increased competition for energy. A Prosperous Way Down considers ways in which a future with less fossil fuel could be peaceful and prosperous. Although history records the collapse of countless civilizations, some societies and ecosystems have managed to descend in orderly stages, reducing demands and selecting and saving what is most important. The authors make recommendations for a more equitable and cooperative world society, with specific suggestions based on their evaluations of trends in global population, wealth distribution, energy sources, conservation, urban development, capitalism and international trade, information technology, and education. Available for the first time in paperback, this thoughtful, provocative book forces us to confront assumptions about our world 's future and provides both a steadying hand and a call to action with its pragmatic analysis of a global transition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719907859417-3FX6XF1BSB348J34G9V2/Invisible+Doctrine.jpg Book Recommendations - The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life) The #1 Sunday Times bestseller 'Explosive and beautifully told … these truths can set us free' - Danny Dorling 'This book is dynamite – shining a spotlight on the evils of neoliberalism, shattering the myth that ‘there is no alternative’, and laying the foundations for a new politics' - Caroline Lucas How can you fight something if you don’t know it exists? We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives: our education and our jobs; our healthcare and our leisure; our relationships and our mental wellbeing; the planet we inhabit – the very air we breathe. So pervasive has it become that, for most people, it has no name. It seems unavoidable, like a natural law. But trace it back to its roots, and we discover that it is neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated, and then concealed by the powerful few. Our task is to bring it into the light—and to build a new system that is worth fighting for. Neoliberalism. Do you know what it is? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719045421101-5IXN6CXP2RFHGA10T9OA/Goliath.jpg Book Recommendations - Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel 2014 Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Notable Book Award In Goliath, New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens. Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008-09, which brought into power the country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process. As Blumenthal reveals, Israel has become a country where right-wing leaders like Avigdor Lieberman and Bibi Netanyahu are sacrificing democracy on the altar of their power politics; where the loyal opposition largely and passively stands aside and watches the organized assault on civil liberties; where state-funded Orthodox rabbis publish books that provide instructions on how and when to kill Gentiles; where half of Jewish youth declare their refusal to sit in a classroom with an Arab; and where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seekers scapegoated by leading government officials as "demographic threats." Immersing himself like few other journalists inside the world of hardline political leaders and movements, Blumenthal interviews the demagogues and divas in their homes, in the Knesset, and in the watering holes where their young acolytes hang out, and speaks with those political leaders behind the organized assault on civil liberties. As his journey deepens, he painstakingly reports on the occupied Palestinians challenging schemes of demographic separation through unarmed protest. He talks at length to the leaders and youth of Palestinian society inside Israel now targeted by security service dragnets and legislation suppressing their speech, and provides in-depth reporting on the small band of Jewish Israeli dissidents who have shaken off a conformist mindset that permeates the media, schools, and the military. Through his far-ranging travels, Blumenthal illuminates the present by uncovering the ghosts of the past -- the histories of Palestinian neighborhoods and villages now gone and forgotten; how that history has set the stage for the current crisis of Israeli society; and how the Holocaust has been turned into justification for occupation. A brave and unflinching account of the real facts on the ground, Goliath is an unprecedented and compelling work of journalism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1708770193709-ZT0TEHWT6ESX9GE9DCG4/The+Necessity+of+Exile-+Essays+from+a+Distance.jpg Book Recommendations - The Necessity of Exile: Essays from a Distance A timely, progressive collection of essays on the Jewish relationship to Zionism and exile. What is exile? What is diaspora? What is Zionism? Jewish identity today has been shaped by prior generations’ answers to these questions, and the future of Jewish life will depend on how we respond to them in our own time. In The Necessity of Exile: Essays from a Distance, celebrated rabbi and scholar Shaul Magid offers an essential contribution to this intergenerational process, inviting us to rethink our current moment through religious and political resources from the Jewish tradition. On many levels, Zionism was conceived as an attempt to “end the exile” of the Jewish people, both politically and theologically. In a series of incisive essays, Magid challenges us to consider the price of diminishing or even erasing the exilic character of Jewish life. A thought-provoking work of political imagination, The Necessity of Exile reclaims exile as a positive stance for constructive Jewish engagement with Israel|Palestine, antisemitism, diaspora, and a broken world in need of repair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1700980494835-K6VT9IWV36VL6KIF18Z3/Fighting+World+On+Fire.jpg Book Recommendations - Fighting in a World on Fire: The Next Generation's Guide to Protecting the Climate and Saving Our Future Young people are inheriting a world of climate catastrophe. Young people are also one of the strongest forces leading movements for climate justice, and to halt the fossil fuel emissions that are making our Earth unlivable. As Greta Thunberg and the Fridays for the Future movement have made clear, solutions offered by adults are far too little, far too late: the measures in unenforceable international agreements won't halt our reliance on fossil fuels, or take the drastic steps humans need to take in order to keep our planet livable. What kinds of drastic steps are needed? What kind of bold actions can the climate justice begin using to bring a stop to climate destruction, and that can be employed alongside existing strategies of mass protest, awareness, and legal appeals? Why does our society consider profit for oil companies more important than the future of young people and the health of our shared environment? In this adaptation of Andreas Malm's best-selling book on the need for a bolder, more confrontational climate justice movement, How to Blow Up a Pipeline these urgent questions are brought to the most important audience of all: those who are growing up in a world on fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1706155241967-6RWK3LH9GCP1WMCB5C9R/Socialism+or+Extinction.jpg Book Recommendations - Socialism or Extinction: Climate, Automation and War in the Final Capitalist Breakdown "The most complete book I've read on the nature of our historical moment." – Stephen Radecki, The Swoletariat "Gripping from start to finish." – Mathew Bartlett, Goodreads Socialism or Extinction: Climate, Automation and War in the Final Capitalist Breakdown is a systematic Marxist analysis of the unprecedented crises engulfing humanity, arguing that: • capitalism per se – because its ever-growing dependence on exploiting labour makes the labour-intensity of extraction-based production increasingly necessary – is the cause of and can only continue to accelerate the climate crisis; • the solution to the climate crisis requires value creation to become based on utility instead of exploitation and profit, thereby ending the absolute economic dependence on extraction and enabling a transition to production based predominantly on nuclear, mycelium, hemp and other fibrous plants – a green industrial revolution that is actually green; • automation is eliminating the sole source of profit – capital's exploitation of commodity-producing human labour – meaning capitalism is heading unavoidably, in purely economic terms, towards a final, insurmountable economic breakdown; • socialism (the lower stage of communism) – the social ownership of production; a (digital) voucher system pegged to labour time; and central planning of utility- (as opposed to commodity-) production, on a break-even basis – is therefore becoming an economic necessity *for the first time*; • the accumulation crisis is forcing the world’s imperialist powers into direct confrontation, meaning humanity faces not one extinction threat, but two. Humanity stands at a world-historic crossroads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1703666521871-E337APH5OUGRKIIPGAEL/Less+is+More.jpg Book Recommendations - Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH. Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all. This is our chance to change course, but we must act now. ______________________________________ 'A masterpiece... Less is More covers centuries and continents, spans academic disciplines, and connects contemporary and ancient events in a way which cannot be put down until it's finished.'

The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age? There is zero archaeological evidence for the original Eucharist – the sacred wine said to guarantee life after death for those who drink the blood of Jesus. The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper remains an article of faith for today’s 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one third of the planet. Religion and science converge to paint a radical picture of Christianity’s founding event. And after centuries of debate, to solve history’s greatest puzzle once and for all. Before the birth of Jesus, the Ancient Greeks found salvation in their own sacraments. Sacred beverages were routinely consumed as part of the so-called Ancient Mysteries – elaborate rites that led initiates to the brink of death. The best and brightest from Athens and Rome flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed heavenly visions for two thousand years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one with the god. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine – the original sacraments of Western civilization – were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The constantly advancing fields of archaeobotany and archaeochemistry have hinted at the enduring use of hallucinogenic drinks in antiquity. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the psychopharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into instant believers. But the smoking gun remains elusive. If these sacraments survived for thousands of years in our remote prehistory, from the Stone Age to the Ancient Greeks, did they also survive into the age of Jesus? Was the Eucharist of the earliest Christians, in fact, a psychedelic Eucharist? With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku takes the reader on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament with a Catholic priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity’s oldest monuments. He breaches the secret archives of the Vatican to unearth manuscripts never before translated into English. And with leads from the archaeological chemists at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he unveils the first scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs in classical antiquity. The Immortality Key reconstructs the suppressed history of women consecrating a forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were then targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe’s sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. Have the scientists of today resurrected this lost technology? Is Christianity capable of returning to its roots?

From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche and Marx, the Western tradition has been based on arrogant and erroneous beliefs about human beings and their place in the world. Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism enthrone humankind as a species whose destiny is to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. Even in the present day, despite Darwin's discoveries, nearly all schools of thought take as their starting point the belief that humans are radically different from other animals. In Straw Dogs, John Gray argues that this humanist belief in human difference is an illusion and explores how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719081983580-1FTKZ2ZIA786Z701O8NR/Invention+of+the+Land+of+Israel.jpg Book Recommendations - The Invention of the Land of Israel: From Holy Land to Homeland What is a homeland? When does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. The invention of the modern concept of the "Land of Israel" in the nineteenth century, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel, it is also what is threatening Israel's existence today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1700722513435-GE844GVVNKQY4O97TMNX/American+Exception.jpg Book Recommendations - American Exception: Empire and the Deep State American Exception seeks to explain the breakdown of US democracy. In particular, how we can understand the uncanny continuity of American foreign policy, the breakdown of the rule of law, and the extreme concentration of wealth and power into an overworld of the corporate rich. To trace the evolution of the American state, the author takes a deep politics approach, shedding light on those political practices that are typically repressed in “mainstream” discourse. In its long history before World War II, the US had a deep political system—a system of governance in which decision-making and enforcement were carried out within—and outside of—public institutions. It was a system that always included some degree of secretive collusion and law-breaking. After World War II, US elites decided to pursue global dominance over the international capitalist system. Setting aside the liberal rhetoric, this project was pursued in a manner that was by and large imperialistic rather than progressive. To administer this covert empire, US elites created a massive national security state characterized by unprecedented levels of secrecy and lawlessness. The “Global Communist Conspiracy” provided a pretext for exceptionism—an endless “exception” to the rule of law. What gradually emerged after World War II was a tripartite state system of governance. The open democratic state and the authoritarian security state were both increasingly dominated by an American deep state. The term deep state was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it herein refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions. Key institutions involve the relationships between the overworld of the corporate rich, the underworld of organized crime, and the national security actors that mediate between them. History-making interventions include the toppling of foreign governments, the launching of aggressive wars, and the political assassinations of the 1960s. The book concludes by assessing the prospects for a revival of US democracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1699738645855-U29QZ4IQVV6H0TUJC2J7/Laying+Down+The+Sword.jpg Book Recommendations - Laying Down the Sword: Why We Can't Ignore the Bible's Violent Verses Philip Jenkins delivers a fearless examination of the darkand violent verses of the Bible—and a call for us to read them anew in pursuitof a richer, more honest faith. From “one of America’s best scholars ofreligion” (The Economist), this daring exploration of the Scripture’smost difficult passages forces us to confront and accept the violence that wasas integral to the formulation of Christianity’s message as it was for manyother of the world’s religions, and shows us how a full understanding of theScripture will allow us to finally move towards a more peaceful, spiritualworld. Readers of Bart Ehrman’s God’s Problem,John Selby Spong’s The Sins of Scripture, andJenkins’s own The Jesus Wars, as well as every Christian eager to squarethe recurrent violence of the Scripture with Christianity’s enduring message ofpeace, will find these difficult questions explored in full in Laying Downthe Sword. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1698837191984-1LCUKQ8UF9HK7GJTXS9P/World+Beyond+Your+Head.jpg Book Recommendations - The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction In his bestselling book Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford explored the ethical and practical importance of manual competence, as expressed through mastery of our physical environment. In his brilliant follow-up, The World Beyond Your Head, Crawford investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. We often complain about our fractured mental lives and feel beset by outside forces that destroy our focus and disrupt our peace of mind. Any defense against this, Crawford argues, requires that we reckon with the way attention sculpts the self. Crawford investigates the intense focus of ice hockey players and short-order chefs, the quasi-autistic behavior of gambling addicts, the familiar hassles of daily life, and the deep, slow craft of building pipe organs. He shows that our current crisis of attention is only superficially the result of digital technology, and becomes more comprehensible when understood as the coming to fruition of certain assumptions at the root of Western culture that are profoundly at odds with human nature. The World Beyond Your Head makes sense of an astonishing array of common experience, from the frustrations of airport security to the rise of the hipster. With implications for the way we raise our children, the design of public spaces, and democracy itself, this is a book of urgent relevance to contemporary life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692422458549-0BDVY0P1RR3NZLE6HMY8/AllHell.jpeg Book Recommendations - All Hell Breaking Loose: The Pentagon's Perspective on Climate Change All Hell Breaking Loose is an eye-opening examination of climate change from the perspective of the U.S. military. The Pentagon, unsentimental and politically conservative, might not seem likely to be worried about climate change―still linked, for many people, with polar bears and coral reefs. Yet of all the major institutions in American society, none take climate change as seriously as the U.S. military. Both as participants in climate-triggered conflicts abroad, and as first responders to hurricanes and other disasters on American soil, the armed services are already confronting the impacts of global warming. The military now regards climate change as one of the top threats to American national security―and is busy developing strategies to cope with it. Drawing on previously obscure reports and government documents, renowned security expert Michael Klare shows that the U.S. military sees the climate threat as imperiling the country on several fronts at once. Droughts and food shortages are stoking conflicts in ethnically divided nations, with “climate refugees” producing worldwide havoc. Pandemics and other humanitarian disasters will increasingly require extensive military involvement. The melting Arctic is creating new seaways to defend. And rising seas threaten American cities and military bases themselves. While others still debate the causes of global warming, the Pentagon is intensely focused on its effects. Its response makes it clear that where it counts, the immense impact of climate change is not in doubt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697963130998-77I78S97YS101FE5FN4W/Out+Of+Place.jpeg Book Recommendations - Out of Place: A Memoir From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt. Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1682573542969-QUK12LF3CCCN24DCAVDV/Permission%2BGranted.jpg Book Recommendations - Permission Granted—Take the Bible into Your Own Hands Millions of people around the world look to the Bible as a source of encouragement and faith formation, a reminder that God is love and is in control, and a guide to living one's life the way God desires. But this treasured book has also been misused and manipulated by many, placed on a pedestal of untouchability, and protected from questioning and honest engagement. In Permission Granted, Jennifer Grace Bird encourages people of faith to explore the texts on their own, freed from long-held myths and misconceptions; experience the Bible anew; and appreciate this holy book for what it isâ€"not what we think it should be. With the sensitivity of one who has discovered this freedom herself, Bird invites readers to engage what the Bible really says about twelve key issues, including sin, sex, and the role of women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1682573800021-8Y144EDMZEH8IWAH4UNZ/MountainofSilence.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to readers of Carlos Castaneda. In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice little known in the West he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into the group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a “Christian Tibet,” two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain a oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos’s monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich the Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of Castaneda, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Church as well. The result is a remarkable work–a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1682574309416-VOMD2Q5VU5TZIBVE6LLZ/Cloud+of+Unknowing.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Cloud of Unknowing and Other Works Contains The Cloud of Unknowing, The Mystical Theology of Saint Denis, The Book of Privy Counselling, and An Epistle on Prayer. Against a tradition of devotional writings which focussed on knowing God through Christ's Passion and his humanity, these texts describe a transcendent God who exists beyond human knowledge and human language. These four texts are at the heart of medival mystical theology in their call for contemplation, calm, and above all, love, as the way to understand the Divine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697987656393-K1GT90IQSFIKUNUV3PN2/Human+Diversity.jpg Book Recommendations - Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class All people are equal but, as Human Diversity explores, all groups of people are not the same -- a fascinating investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human differences. The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: - Gender is a social construct. - Race is a social construct. - Class is a function of privilege. The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. It is not a story to be feared. "There are no monsters in the closet," Murray writes, "no dread doors we must fear opening." But it is a story that needs telling. Human Diversity does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1682574516632-BMEPVWT9806XQK7H4HCN/Befriending+Silence.jpeg Book Recommendations - Befriending Silence: Discovering the Gifts of Cistercian Spirituality Respected speaker, author, and Patheos blogger Carl McColman introduces Cistercian spirituality as "the hidden jewel of the Church," presenting a surprisingly contemporary path grounded in monastic tradition. This accessible and comprehensive guide highlights a unique focus on simplicity, living close to the earth, and contemplative prayer, all of which make Cistercian spirituality relevant today. Steeped in chant and silence, grounded in down-to-earth work and service, and immersed in the mystical wisdom of teachers ancient (Bernard of Clairvaux) and modern (Thomas Merton), Cistercian spirituality's beautifully humble path has for centuries made monasteries places of rest, retreat, and renewal. Now, Carl McColman offers the first practical introduction to this ancient, contemplative spirituality for all people. Hailed by reviewers of his many books as playful, and profound, McColman draws on his experience as a lay Cistercian to provide insight into the relevance of the tradition to contemporary issues and spiritual practice. He explains how silence, simplicity, stability, stewardship of the earth, contemplation, ongoing conversion, and devotion to Mary combine to offer a rich and unique path to discipleship and intimacy with God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692355197678-FINIORUAE55PVASZH6SC/Metanarratives.jpeg Book Recommendations - Meta-Narratives: Essays on Philosophy and Symbolism ay Dyer, the popular comedian, TV host, and author shares fifteen essays that have never before been published in book form. The essays span a variety of topics, including his thoughts on symbology, apologetics, alchemy, and number theory. In an essay on metaphysics, he argues that with the exception of a few philosophers, it has been jettisoned for pragmatism, postmodernism, and other forms of self-destructive prattle. He also leads readers on a deep dive of Phaedo, the dialogue of Plato that concerns the final words of Socrates. The discussion revolves around a proposal by Socrates’s associates to defend his views of the afterlife and the immortality of the soul, followed by a counter argument by a Pythagorean and a final rebuttal by Socrates. In another essay titled “The Philosophy of Creation,” he argues that “reason” itself is nonsensical in the deterministic paradigm of Darwinian naturalism and that the crusaders of modern empiricism are committed adherents of the holy inquisition of scientism.

Having participated in its planning, Luttwak examines the role of air power in the 1991 Gulf War, then detects the emergence of “post-heroic” war in Kosovo in 1999—an American war in which not a single American soldier was killed.In the tradition of Carl von Clausewitz, Strategy goes beyond paradox to expose the dynamics of reversal at work in the crucible of conflict. As victory is turned into defeat by over-extension, as war brings peace by exhaustion, ordinary linear logic is overthrown. Citing examples from ancient Rome to our own days, from Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor down to minor combat affrays, from the strategy of peace to the latest operational methods of war, this book by one of the world’s foremost authorities reveals the ultimate logic of military failure and success, of war and peace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1682917377979-2ND7PDSCKMVRQBD6DYHP/Fossil+Capital.jpeg Book Recommendations - Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming A sweeping study of how capitalism first promoted fossil fuels with the rise of steam power—and contributed to the worsening climate crisis The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess? In this masterful new history, Andreas Malm claims it all began in Britain with the rise of steam power. But why did manufacturers turn from traditional sources of power, notably water mills, to an engine fired by coal? Contrary to established views, steam offered neither cheaper nor more abundant energy—but rather superior control of subordinate labor. Animated by fossil fuels, capital could concentrate production at the most profitable sites and during the most convenient hours, as it continues to do today. Sweeping from nineteenth-century Manchester to the emissions explosion in China, from the original triumph of coal to the stalled shift to renewables, this study hones in on the burning heart of capital and demonstrates, in unprecedented depth, that turning down the heat will mean a radical overthrow of the current economic order. “The definitive deep history on how our economic system created the climate crisis. Superb, essential reading from one of the most original thinkers on the subject.” —Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1683272247117-9R5NE7QL6AY8K7F6ZK08/Art+of+Prudence.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Pocket Oracle and Art of Prudence Written over 350 years ago, The Pocket Oracle and the Art of Prudence is a charming collection of 300 witty and thought-provoking aphorisms. From the art of being lucky to the healthy use of caution, these elegant maxims were created as a guide to life, with further suggestions given on cultivating good taste, knowing how to refuse, the foolishness of complaining and the wisdom of controlling one's passions. Baltasar Gracian intended that these ingenious aphorisms would encourage each reader to challenge themselves both in understanding and applying each axiom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1683739434919-2IZCAJOXRRTUPLFVDOOS/Earth+Transformed.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Earth Transformed: An Untold History A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR: A revolutionary new history that reveals how climate change has dramatically shaped the development—and demise—of civilizations across time *Detailing many years of extensive research, endnotes for this edition run to more than 200 pages. They are available online via a link contained in the book.* Global warming is one of the greatest dangers mankind faces today. Even as temperatures increase, sea levels rise, and natural disasters escalate, our current environmental crisis feels difficult to predict and understand. But climate change and its effects on us are not new. In a bold narrative that spans centuries and continents, Peter Frankopan argues that nature has always played a fundamental role in the writing of history. From the fall of the Moche civilization in South America that came about because of the cyclical pressures of El Niño to volcanic eruptions in Iceland that affected Egypt and helped bring the Ottoman empire to its knees, climate change and its influences have always been with us. Frankopan explains how the Vikings emerged thanks to catastrophic crop failure, why the roots of regime change in eleventh-century Baghdad lay in the collapse of cotton prices resulting from unusual climate patterns, and why the western expansion of the frontiers in North America was directly affected by solar flare activity in the eighteenth century. Again and again, Frankopan shows that when past empires have failed to act sustainably, they have been met with catastrophe. Blending brilliant historical writing and cutting-edge scientific research, The Earth Transformed will radically reframe the way we look at the world and our future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1718263410539-W9DC7FNFDM13B1TXUPO8/Material+World.jpg Book Recommendations - Material World: A Substantial Story of Our Past and Future Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium. They built our world, and they will transform our future. These are the six most crucial substances in human history. They took us from the Dark Ages to the present day. They power our computers and phones, build our homes and offices, and create life-saving medicines. But most of us take them completely for granted. In Material World, Ed Conway travels the globe - from the sweltering depths of the deepest mine in Europe, to spotless silicon chip factories in Taiwan, to the eerie green pools where lithium originates - to uncover a secret world we rarely see. Revealing the true marvel of these substances, he follows the mind-boggling journeys, miraculous processes and little-known companies that turn the raw materials we all need into products of astonishing complexity. As we wrestle with climate change, energy crises and the threat of new global conflict, Conway shows why these substances matter more than ever before, and how the hidden battle to control them will shape our geopolitical future. This is the story of civilisation - our ambitions and glory, innovations and appetites - from a new perspective: literally from the ground up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1684726889698-OZKAT9UPGBQ7U70LV1E1/Future+Superhuman.jpeg Book Recommendations - Future Superhuman: Our transhuman lives in a make-or-break century We’re hurtling towards a superhuman future – or, if we blunder, extinction. The only way out of our existential crises, from global warming to the risks posed by nuclear weapons, novel and bioengineered pathogens and unaligned AI, is up. We’ll need more technology to safeguard our future – and we’re going to invent and perhaps even merge with some of that technology. What does that mean for our 20th century life-scripts? Are the robots coming for our jobs? How will human relationships change when AI knows us inside out? Will we still be having human babies by the century’s end? Elise Bohan unflinchingly explores possibilities most of us are afraid to imagine: the impacts of automation on our jobs, livelihoods and dating and mating careers, the stretching out of ‘the-circle-of-life’, the rise of AI friends and lovers, the liberation of women from pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and the impending global baby-bust – and attendant proliferation of digital minds. Strap in for an exhilarating, and starkly honest, take on the promise and peril of life in the 21st century. 'There’s much doom and gloom about humanity’s future, understandably so at a time of climate change and large-scale environmental collapse. But there’s another side to what’s coming, and it won’t all be bad. Elise Bohan is your travel guide to the future of human minds and bodies. Enjoy the trip – your guide is as sharp, savvy, lively and entertaining as you could ever want.’ — Russell Blackford, author of At the Dawn of a Great Transition: The Question of Radical Enhancement ‘One of the most entertaining, fascinating, and thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time! Future Superhuman provides a breathtakingly original, broad and optimistic view of a transhuman future. Elise Bohan’s fresh and unique voice comes through on every page: bold, fearless, fun and relentless on the absurdities of the human condition. She could well be the next big non-fiction star, at home in the same constellation as Yuval Noah Harari, Carl Sagan or Elizabeth Kolbert.’ — Rob Brooks, Scientia Professor of Evolution, UNSW, author of Artificial Intimacy ‘A brilliant, engaging and edgy introduction to transhumanism – the idea that in coming centuries we humans will take charge of our own evolution and transform ourselves into new, artificially enhanced beings.’ — David Christian, Distinguished Professor of History, author of Origin Story ‘Elise Bohan wants us to believe our survival depends on integrating ourselves with advanced robotics and artificial intelligence so that we can achieve what she calls a sustainable posthuman future. After reading her excellent and well-researched book, I’m inclined to agree with her.’ — Tim Dunlop, author of The Future of Everything ‘This book is an intellectual tour de force that cajoles us to take the blinkers off and confront the new era we have entered into – a time of “escalating promise and peril”. Elise Bohan’s clear-eyed view of the future can help us navigate a path forward, by showing us how to harness the extraordinary capabilities of our species rather than allowing them to destroy us. This is a most timely, enlightening and important work. It’s also a whole lot of fun to read.’ — Mark Roeder, author of What We Do Next Really Matters ‘A fun, frightening and fruitful look at our future. This is the book I want to give to friends who ask, “but what is transhumanism, really?” — Anders Sandberg, Senior Research Fellow, Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford ‘In Future Superhuman, Elise Bohan asks challenging but important questions.

It describes how the dynamics of interest-bearing debt led to the rise of rentier oligarchies in classical Greece and Rome, causing economic polarization, widespread austerity, revolts, wars and ultimately the collapse of Rome into serfdom and feudalism. That collapse bequeathed to subsequent Western civilization a pro-creditor legal philosophy that has led to today's creditor oligarchies. In telling this story, The Collapse of Antiquity reveals the eerie parallels between the collapsing Roman world and today's debt-burdened Western economies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1685599455734-A9TUDTGL7CV1M178SM8G/Escape+From+Freedom.jpeg Book Recommendations - Escape from Freedom Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author. The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm’s debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism. By the author of The Sane Society and The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, this is a fascinating examination of the anxiety that underlies our darkest impulses, an enlightening volume perfect for readers of Eric Hoffer or Hannah Arendt. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697708975796-H7SLL62379VWVMEGIUPJ/Question+Of+Palestine.jpg Book Recommendations - The Question of Palestine This original and deeply provocative book was the first to make Palestine the subject of a serious debate--one that remains as critical as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and an exile's passion (he is Palestinian by birth), Edward W. Said traces the fatal collision between two peoples in the Middle East and its repercussions in the lives of both the occupier and the occupied--as well as in the conscience of the West. He has updated this landmark work to portray the changed status of Palestine and its people in light of such developments as the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the intifada, the Gulf War, and the ongoing MIddle East peace initiative. For anyone interested in this region and its future, The Question of Palestine remains the most useful and authoritative account available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1685599628596-I8R8DPB0DB4RLVDOWPQL/Enlightenment+Trap.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Enlightenment Trap: Obsession, Madness and Death on Diamond Mountain The 2023 Edition of The Enlightenment Trap includes two new chapters, photography, and updated total revision. In 2012, 38-year-old Ian Thorson's search for spiritual transcendence ended in tragedy on a remote Arizona mountaintop. His wife, a woman anointed as a goddess by an eccentric Buddhist community, held him in her arms as he slowly died from dehydration and dysentery. For Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, Thorson's death was just the most recent iteration of an unspoken epidemic that connected intensive meditation and mental instability. The Enlightenment Trap explores how Tibetan Buddhism in the West morphed from its roots in the Himalayan foothills into a fundamentally new American religion. For Thorson, the entry point into this new faith was Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University. Carney unravels the cult-like practices of Diamond Mountain to illuminate the uniquely American tendency to mix and match Eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces. The result is that for some, enlightenment is a synonym for almost god-like powers, and achieving it can become more important than life itself. Aided by Thorson’s private papers and cutting-edge neurological research, the book reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain. Carney exposes stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes. The Enlightenment Trap is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1686603058338-A08VX72NAFSPJPOTX6RL/Economics+One+Lesson.jpeg Book Recommendations - Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1686845088775-7339F8IHUVP35VGAEOYA/FireWeather.jpeg Book Recommendations - Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World 'Astounding on every page.

In May 2016, Fort McMurray, Alberta, the hub of Canada's oil industry, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster turned entire neighbourhoods into firebombs and drove 90,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the story of this apocalyptic conflagration, John Vaillant explores the past and the future of our ever-hotter, more flammable world. For hundreds of millennia, fire has been a partner in our evolution, shaping culture and civilization. Yet in our age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in ways never before witnessed by human beings. With masterly prose and cinematic style, Vaillant delves into the intertwined histories of the oil industry and climate science, the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern wildfires, and the lives forever changed by these disasters. Fire Weather is urgent reading for our new century of fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1687591021353-BM7WNSBETXRMQGE2FWW3/AngloAmericaEstab.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Anglo-American Establishment Quigley exposes the secret society's established in London in 1891, by Cecil Rhodes.

Bacevich, The Nation For most of its history, the United States avoided making political and military commitments that would entangle it in power politics. Then, suddenly, it conceived a new role for itself as an armed superpower—and never looked back. In Tomorrow, the World, Stephen Wertheim traces America’s transformation to World War II, right before the attack on Pearl Harbor. As late as 1940, the small coterie formulating U.S. foreign policy wanted British preeminence to continue. Axis conquests swept away their assumptions, leading them to conclude that America should extend its form of law and order across the globe, and back it at gunpoint. No one really favored “isolationism”—a term introduced by advocates of armed supremacy to burnish their cause. We live, Wertheim warns, in the world these men created. A sophisticated and impassioned account that questions the wisdom of U.S. supremacy, Tomorrow, the World reveals the intellectual path that brought us to today’s endless wars. “Its implications are invigorating…Wertheim opens space for Americans to reexamine their own history and ask themselves whether primacy has ever really met their interests.” —New Republic “For almost 80 years now, historians and diplomats have sought not only to describe America’s swift advance to global primacy but also to explain it…Any writer wanting to make a novel contribution either has to have evidence for a new interpretation, or at least be making an older argument in some improved and eye-catching way. Tomorrow, the World does both.” —Paul Kennedy, Wall Street Journal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1688360857812-LH3FKALU6FDX1CDH12N6/DoughnutEcon.jpeg Book Recommendations - Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist The book that redefines economics for a world in crisis. Relentless financial crises. Extreme inequalities in wealth. Remorseless pressure on the environment. Anyone can see that our economic system is broken. But can it be fixed? In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies the seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray - from selling us the myth of 'rational economic man' to obsessing over growth at all costs - and offers instead an alternative roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet. Ambitious, radical and provocative, she offers a new cutting-edge economic model fit for the challenges of the 21st century. _____________________________________________________ *The Sunday Times Bestseller* *A Financial Times and Forbes Book of the Year* *Winner of the Transmission Prize 2018* *Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2017* 'The John Maynard Keynes of the 21st century.'

How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power? For decades, complexity scientist Peter Turchin has been studying world history like no-one else. Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, he has transformed the way we learn from the past. End Times is the result: a ground-breaking account of how society works. The lessons, he argues, are clear. When the balance of power between the ruling class and the majority tips too far in favour of elites, income inequality surges. The rich get richer, the poor further impoverished. As more people try to join the elite, frustration with the establishment brims over, often with disastrous consequences. Elite overproduction led to state breakdown in imperial China, in medieval France, in the American Civil War - and it is happening now. But while we are far along the path toward violent political rupture, Turchin's models also light the way to a brighter future. Drawing insight from those occasions in history where the balance was restored, End Times also points towards a different future: an escape from the patterns of the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1689583477526-L4T5CIX8HWCYONBCU8QC/Corruptable.jpg Book Recommendations - Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How it Changes Us 'Illuminating . . . reveals why some people and systems are more likely to be corrupted by power than others' - Adam Grant 'Passionate, insightful, and occasionally jaw-dropping . . .

Are tyrants the products of bad systems or are they just bad people? And why do we give power to awful people? In Corruptible, professor of global politics Brian Klaas draws on over 500 interviews with some of the world's top leaders - from the noblest to the dirtiest - including presidents, war criminals, cult leaders, terrorists, psychopaths, and dictators to reveal the most surprising workings of power: how children can predict who is going to win an election based just on the faces of politicians; why narcissists make more money; what makes a certain species of bee more corrupt than others; whether a thirst for power is a genetic condition; and why being the second in command is in fact the smartest choice. From scans of psychopathic brains, to the effects of power on monkey drug use, Klaas weaves cutting-edge research with astonishing encounters (including a ski lesson with the former viceroy of Iraq, tea with a former UK prime minister, and breakfast with Madagascar's yogurt kingpin president). Written by the creator of the award-winning Power Corrupts podcast, Corruptible challenges our basic assumptions about power, from the board room to the war room, and provides a roadmap for getting better leaders at every level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1691998269088-G1SI6LV0MV5FGLYH5NTK/HumanSmoke.jpeg Book Recommendations - Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization At a time when the West seems ever more eager to call on military aggression as a means of securing international peace, Nicholson Baker's provocative narrative exploring the political misjudgements and personal biases that gave birth to the terrifying consequences of the Second World War could not be more pertinent. With original and controversial insights brought about by meticulous research, Human Smokere-evaluates the political turning points that led up to war and in so doing challenges some of the treasured myths we hold about how war came about and how atrocities like the Holocaust were able to happen. Baker reminds us, for instance, not to forget that it was thanks in great part to Churchill and England that Mussolini ascended to power so quickly, and that, before leading the United States against Nazi Germany, a young FDR spent much of his time lobbying for a restriction in the number of Jews admitted to Harvard. Conversely, Human Smokealsoreminds us of those who had the foresight to anticipate the coming bloodshed and the courage to oppose the tide of history, as Gandhi demonstrated when he made his symbolic walk to the ocean -- for which he was immediately imprisoned by the British. Praised by critics and readers alike for his gifted writing and exquisitely observant eye, Baker offers a combination of sweeping narrative history and a series of finely delineated vignettes of the individuals and moments that shaped history that is guaranteed to spark new dialogue on the subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695020597497-QVM5XQ6GU1GQ1VTA6WP5/Death+Liberal+Class.jpg Book Recommendations - Death of the Liberal Class For decades the liberal class was a defense against the worst excesses of power. But the pillars of the liberal class -- the press, universities, the labor movement, the Democratic Party, and liberal religious institutions -- have collapsed. In its absence, the poor, the working class, and even the middle class no longer have a champion. In this searing polemic Chris Hedges indicts liberal institutions, including his former employer, the New York Times, who have distorted their basic beliefs in order to support unfettered capitalism, the national security state, globalization, and staggering income inequalities. Hedges argues that the death of the liberal class created a profound vacuum at the heart of American political life. And now speculators, war profiteers, and demagogues -- from militias to the Tea Party -- are filling the void. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692001444899-412ON4BIUUUFQNYU6DA3/I+Shall+Bear+Witness-+The+Diaries+Of+Victor+Klemperer+1933-41.jpeg Book Recommendations - I Shall Bear Witness: The Diaries Of Victor Klemperer 1933-41 A publishing sensation, the publication of Victor Klemperer's diaries brings to light one of the most extraordinary documents of the Nazi period. 'A classic ... Klemperer's diary deserves to rank alongside that of Anne Frank's' SUNDAY TIMES 'I can't remember when I read a more engrossing book' Antonia Fraser 'Not dissimilar in its cumulative power to Primo Levi's, is a devastating account of man's inhumanity to man' LITERARY REVIEW The son of a rabbi, Klemperer was by 1933 a professor of languages at Dresden. Over the next decade he, like other German Jews, lost his job, his house and many of his friends. Klemperer remained loyal to his country, determined not to emigrate, and convinced that each successive Nazi act against the Jews must be the last. Saved for much of the war from the Holocaust by his marriage to a gentile, he was able to escape in the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden and survived the remaining months of the war in hiding. Throughout, Klemperer kept a diary. Shocking and moving by turns, it is a remarkable and important account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692251179452-D3KFOUTHITBNF5LDQISB/IsScienceEnough.jpeg Book Recommendations - Is Science Enough?: Forty Critical Questions About Climate Justice (Myths Made in America) Why social, racial, and economic justice are just as crucial as science in determining how humans can reverse climate catastrophe We are facing a climate catastrophe. A plethora of studies describe the damage we’ve already done, the droughts, the wildfires, the super-storms, the melting glaciers, the heat waves, and the displaced people fleeing lands that are becoming uninhabitable. Many people understand that we are facing a climate emergency, but may be fuzzy on technical, policy, and social justice aspects. In Is Science Enough?, Aviva Chomsky breaks down the concepts, terminology, and debates for activists, students, and anyone concerned about climate change. She argues that science is not enough to change course: we need put social, racial, and economic justice front and center and overhaul the global growth economy. Chomsky’s accessible primer focuses on 5 key issues: 1.) Technical questions: What exactly are “clean,” “renewable,” and “zero-emission” energy sources? How much do different sectors (power generation, transportation, agriculture, industry, etc.) contribute to climate change? Can forests serve as a carbon sink? 2.) Policy questions: What is the Green New Deal? How does a cap-and-trade system work? How does the United States subsidize the fossil fuel industry? 3.) What can I do as an individual?: Do we need to consume less? What kinds of individual actions can make the most difference? Should we all be vegetarians? 4.) Social, racial, and economic justice: What’s the relationship of inequality to climate change? What do race and racism have to do with climate change? How are pandemics related to climate change? 5.) Broadening the lens: What is economic growth? How important is it, and how does it affect the environment? What is degrowth? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692354955630-UQN79MSSXAZRXCGSP14R/zombies-in-western-culture-1365x2048.jpg Book Recommendations - Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis Why has the zombie become such a pervasive figure in twenty-first-century popular culture? John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro and Filip Miscevic seek to answer this question by arguing that particular aspects of the zombie, common to a variety of media forms, reflect a crisis in modern Western culture. The authors examine the essential features of the zombie, including mindlessness, ugliness and homelessness, and argue that these reflect the outlook of the contemporary West and its attendant zeitgeists of anxiety, alienation, disconnection and disenfranchisement. They trace the relationship between zombies and the theme of secular apocalypse, demonstrating that the zombie draws its power from being a perversion of the Christian mythos of death and resurrection. Symbolic of a lost Christian worldview, the zombie represents a world that can no longer explain itself, nor provide us with instructions for how to live within it. The concept of 'domicide' or the destruction of home is developed to describe the modern crisis of meaning that the zombie both represents and reflects. This is illustrated using case studies including the relocation of the Anishinaabe of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, and the upheaval of population displacement in the Hellenistic period. Finally, the authors invoke and reformulate symbols of the four horseman of the apocalypse as rhetorical analogues to frame those aspects of contemporary collapse that elucidate the horror of the zombie. Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis is required reading for anyone interested in the phenomenon of zombies in contemporary culture. It will also be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience including students and scholars of culture studies, semiotics, philosophy, religious studies, eschatology, anthropology, Jungian studies, and sociology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1699267432283-WODKD6SZ586XAKSVF4J6/Nomos+of+the+Earth.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Nomos of the Earth in the International Law of Jus Publicum Europaeum The Nomos of the Earth is Schmitt's most historical and geopolitical book. It describes the origin of the Eurocentric global order, which Schmitt dates from the discovery of the New World, discusses its specific character and its contribution to civilization, analyzes the reasons for its decline at the end of the 19th century, and concludes with prospects for a new world order. It is a reasoned, yet passionate argument in defense of the European achievement - not only in creating the first truly global order of international law, but also in limiting war to conflicts among sovereign states, which, in effect, civilized war. In Schmitt's view, the European sovereign state was the greatest achievement of Occidental rationalism; in becoming the principal agency of secularization, the European state created the modern age. Since the problematic of a new nomos of the earth has become still more critical with the onset of the post-modern age and post-modern war, Schmitt's text is even more timely and challenging. Remarkable in Schmitt's discussion of the European epoch of world history is the role played by the New World, which ultimately replaced the Old World as the center of the earth and became the arbiter in European and world politics. According to Schmitt, the United States' internal conflicts between economic presence and political absence, between isolationism and interventionism, are global problems, which today continue to hamper the creation of a new world order. But however critical Schmitt is of American actions at the turn of the 20th century and after World War I, he considered the United States to be the only political entity capable of resolving the crisis of global order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692813352888-UPQ2AFHCTIU3QJADTEZF/HowReligionEvolved.jpg Book Recommendations - How Religion Evolved: And Why It Endures A fascinating analysis of the evolution of religion from the internationally renowned evolutionary psychologist When did humans develop spiritual thought? What is religion's evolutionary purpose? And in our increasingly secular world, why has it endured? Every society in the history of humanity has lived with religion. In How Religion Evolved, evolutionary psychologist Professor Robin Dunbar tracks its origins back to what he terms the 'mystical stance' - the aspect of human psychology that predisposes us to believe in a transcendent world, and which makes an encounter with the spiritual possible. As he explores world religions and their many derivatives, as well as religions of experience practised by hunter-gatherer societies since time immemorial, Dunbar argues that this instinct is not a peculiar human quirk, an aberration on our otherwise efficient evolutionary journey. Rather, religion confers an advantage: it can benefit our individual health and wellbeing, but, more importantly, it fosters social bonding at large scale, helping hold fractious societies together. Dunbar suggests these dimensions might provide the basis for an overarching theory for why and how humans are religious, and so help unify the myriad strands that currently populate this field. Drawing on path-breaking research, clinical case studies and fieldwork from around the globe, as well as stories of charismatic cult leaders, mysterious sects and lost faiths, How Religion Evolved offers a fascinating and far-reaching analysis of this quintessentially human impulse - to believe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692860676816-WTYEEMGWK60J81FH5U7K/SacredDepthsofNature.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Sacred Depths of Nature: How Life Has Emerged and Evolved For many of us, the great scientific discoveries of the modern age--the Big Bang, evolution, quantum physics, relativity--point to an existence that is bleak, devoid of meaning, pointless. But in The Sacred Depths of Nature, eminent biologist Ursula Goodenough shows us that the scientific world view need not be a source of despair. Indeed, it can be a wellspring of solace and hope. This eloquent volume reconciles the modern scientific understanding of reality with our timeless spiritual yearnings for reverence and continuity. Looking at topics such as evolution, emotions, sexuality, and death, Goodenough writes with rich, uncluttered detail about the workings of nature in general and of living creatures in particular. Her luminous clarity makes it possible for even non-scientists to appreciate that the origins of life and the universe are no less meaningful because of our increasingly scientific understanding of them. At the end of each chapter, Goodenough's spiritual reflections respond to the complexity of nature with vibrant emotional intensity and a sense of reverent wonder. This new edition offers a deepened consideration of emergent properties and emergent dynamics, as well as an exploration of their role as the generators of life's complexity. Goodenough also expands upon the ethic of ecomorality in a new chapter, and incorporates new quotes, figures, and poems in her analysis. A beautifully written celebration of molecular biology with meditations on the spiritual and religious meaning that can be found at the heart of science, this volume makes an important contribution to the ongoing dialog between science and religion. This book will engage anyone who was ever mesmerized--or terrified--by the mysteries of existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1727842226841-2VY9AGT5WY4BX25412U9/Moral+Economy.jpg Book Recommendations - The Moral Economy: Why Good Incentives Are No Substitute for Good Citizens (Castle Lectures Series) Should the idea of economic man—the amoral and self-interested Homo economicus—determine how we expect people to respond to monetary rewards, punishments, and other incentives? Samuel Bowles answers with a resounding “no.” Policies that follow from this paradigm, he shows, may “crowd out” ethical and generous motives and thus backfire. But incentives per se are not really the culprit. Bowles shows that crowding out occurs when the message conveyed by fines and rewards is that self-interest is expected, that the employer thinks the workforce is lazy, or that the citizen cannot otherwise be trusted to contribute to the public good. Using historical and recent case studies as well as behavioral experiments, Bowles shows how well-designed incentives can crowd in the civic motives on which good governance depends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695175663817-0Y24GVLH4GTIUPY5ZD5A/Knowledge+Economy.jpg Book Recommendations - The Knowledge Economy Adam Smith and Karl Marx recognized that the best way to understand the economy is to study the most advanced practice of production. Today that practice is no longer conventional manufacturing: it is the radically innovative vanguard known as the knowledge economy. This book explores the hidden nature of the knowledge economy and its possible futures. In every part of the production system, the knowledge economy remains a fringe excluding the vast majority of workers and businesses. This confinement has become a driver of economic stagnation and inequality throughout the world. Traditional mass production has stopped working as a shortcut to economic growth. But the alternative-a deepened and socially inclusive form of the knowledge economy-continues to lie beyond reach in even the richest countries. Unger sets out the route to a knowledge economy for the many: changes not just in economic institutions but also in education, culture, and politics. Just as Smith and Marx did in their time, he uses an understanding of the most advanced practice of production to rethink both economics and the economy as a whole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695175419315-NCJL20C5MQT5UYCD8Y09/Religion+of+the+Future.jpg Book Recommendations - The Religion of the Future How can we live in such a way that we die only once? How can we organise a society that gives us a better chance to be fully alive? How can we reinvent religion so that it liberates us instead of consoling us? These questions stand at the centre of Roberto Mangabeira Unger's The Religion of the Future. Both a book about religion and a religious work in its own right, it proposes the content of a religion that can survive faith in a transcendent God and in life after death. According to this religion-the religion of the future-human beings can be more human by becoming more godlike, not just later, in another life or another time, but right now, on Earth and in their own lives. Unger begins by facing the irreparable flaws in the human condition: our mortality, groundlessness, and insatiability. He goes on to discuss the conflicting approaches to existence that have dominated the last 2,500 years of the history of religion. Turning next to the religious revolution that we now require, he explores the political ideal of this revolution, an idea of deep freedom. And he develops its moral vision, focused on a refusal to squander life. The Religion of the Future advances Unger's philosophical program: a philosophy for which history is open, the new can happen, and belittlement need not be our fate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1718078300903-6TVB0T6TIWT9XP3WPAXV/Intuition+Pumps.jpeg Book Recommendations - Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking Over a storied career, Daniel C. Dennett has engaged questions about science and the workings of the mind. His answers have combined rigorous argument with strong empirical grounding. And a lot of fun. Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking offers seventy-seven of Dennett’s most successful "imagination-extenders and focus-holders" meant to guide you through some of life’s most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, mind, and free will. With patience and wit, Dennett deftly deploys his thinking tools to gain traction on these thorny issues while offering readers insight into how and why each tool was built. Alongside well-known favorites like Occam’s Razor and reductio ad absurdum lie thrilling descriptions of Dennett’s own creations: Trapped in the Robot Control Room, Beware of the Prime Mammal, and The Wandering Two-Bitser. Ranging across disciplines as diverse as psychology, biology, computer science, and physics, Dennett’s tools embrace in equal measure light-heartedness and accessibility as they welcome uninitiated and seasoned readers alike. As always, his goal remains to teach you how to "think reliably and even gracefully about really hard questions." A sweeping work of intellectual seriousness that’s also studded with impish delights, Intuition Pumps intrepid thinkers—in all walks of life—delicious opportunities to explore their pet ideas with new powers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1703666323785-J61POSKQYWS9WJLN8KLV/Bad+Samaritans.jpg Book Recommendations - Bad Samaritans: The Guilty Secrets of Rich Nations and the Threat to Global Prosperity It's rare that a book appears with a fresh perspective on world affairs, but renowned economist Ha-Joon Chang has some startlingly original things to say about the future of globalization. In theory, he argues, the world's wealthiest countries and supra-national institutions like the IMF, World Bank and WTO want to see all nations developing into modern industrial societies. In practice, though, those at the top are 'kicking away the ladder' to wealth that they themselves climbed. Why? Self-interest certainly plays a part. But, more often, rich and powerful governments and institutions are actually being 'Bad Samaritans': their intentions are worthy but their simplistic free-market ideology and poor understanding of history leads them to inflict policy errors on others. Chang demonstrates this by contrasting the route to success of economically vibrant countries with the very different route now being dictated to the world's poorer nations. In the course of this, he shows just how muddled the thinking is in such key areas as trade and foreign investment. He shows that the case for privatisation and against state involvement is far from proven. And he explores the ways in which attitudes to national cultures and political ideologies are obscuring clear thinking and creating bad policy. Finally, he argues the case for new strategies for a more prosperous world that may appall the 'Bad Samaritans'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1701248241419-96BE4H4QPX9WXDGPPRA6/War+Against+Commons.jpg Book Recommendations - The War against the Commons: Dispossession and Resistance in the Making of Capitalism A unique historical account of poor peoples’ self-defence strategies in the face of the plunder of their lands and labor For five centuries, the development of capitalism has been inextricably connected to the expropriation of working people from the land they depended on for subsistence. Through ruling class assaults known as enclosures or clearances, shared common land became privately-owned capital, and peasant farmers became propertyless laborers who could only survive by working for the owners of land or capital. As Ian Angus documents in The War Against the Commons, mass opposition to dispossession has never ceased. His dramatic account provides new insights into an opposition that ranged from stubborn non-compliance to open rebellion, including eyewitness accounts of campaigns in which thousands of protestors tore down fences and restored common access to pastures and forests. Such movements, he shows, led to the Diggers’ call for a new society based on shared ownership and use of the land, an appeal that was more sophisticated and radical than anything else written before the 1800s. Contrary to many accounts that treat the reorganization of agriculture as a purely domestic matter, Angus shows that there were close connections between the enclosures in Britain and imperial expansion. The consolidation of some of the largest estates in England and Scotland was directly financed by the forced labor of African slaves and the colonial plunder of India. This unique historical account of ruling class robbery and poor peoples’ resistance offers answers to key questions about the history of capitalism. Was enclosure a “necessary evil” that enabled economic growth? What role did deliberate promotion of hunger play in the creation of the working class? How did Marx and Engels view the separation of workers from the land, and how does resistance to enclosure continue in the 21st century? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1692948899847-B7ABXAMNQIE5EQI3UOY8/Psychomania.jpeg Book Recommendations - Psychomachia of Prudentius: Text, Commentary, and Glossary (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture) (Volume 58) Prudentius (b. 348 c.e.), one of the greatest Latin poets of late antiquity, was also a devoted Christian. His allegorical masterpiece, Psychomachia, combines epic language and theological speculation to offer a powerful vision of Roman and Christian triumphalism. Yet this important work—one of the most popular and influential poems of the Middle Ages—is unfamiliar to most contemporary students of Latin. This edition, featuring the first full-length English commentary on the poem, makes Psychomachia accessible to modern learners. In his wide-ranging introduction, Aaron Pelttari examines the life of Prudentius, the world of late antiquity, and the structure of Psychomachia, along with its aims, reception, and manuscript transmission. The Latin text includes an apparatus criticus, and the corresponding commentary covers points of textual, grammatical, literary, and historical interest. Following the commentary are two appendices: an explanation of the poem’s meter, and a glossary of rhetorical and literary terms. A bibliography and a complete Latin-to-English glossary round out the volume. Ten illustrations enrich the text by showcasing medieval illuminations and early editions of the poem. Ideally suited for intermediate and advanced students of Latin, this volume is also useful for instructors and scholars, who will welcome its lucid interpretation of the poem and expert guidance on difficult passages. With its concise yet carefully considered format, The Psychomachia of Prudentius will be a welcome addition to scholarship on late antique Latin literature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1693062292612-A0NW8G7DR76P499GYA76/AmericanNuremberg.jpeg Book Recommendations - American Nuremberg: The U.S. Officials Who Should Stand Trial for Post-9/11 War Crimes No subject is more hotly debated than the extreme measures that our government has taken after 9/11 in the name of national security. Torture, extraordinary rendition, drone assassinations, secret detention centers (or “black sites”), massive surveillance of citizens. But while the press occasionally exposes the dark side of the war on terror and congressional investigators sometimes raise alarms about the abuses committed by U.S. intelligence agencies and armed forces, no high U.S. official has been prosecuted for these violations – which many legal observers around the world consider war crimes. The United States helped establish the international principles guiding the prosecution of war crimes – starting with the Nuremberg tribunal following World War II, when Nazi officials were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. But the American government and legal system have consistently refused to apply these same principles to our own officials. Now Rebecca Gordon takes on the explosive task of “indicting” the officials who – in a just society – should be put on trial for war crimes. Some might dismiss this as a symbolic exercise. But what is at stake here is the very soul of the nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1693062451269-QPYI9DCHGXEUJC6HPY86/KillAnythingThatMoves.jpeg Book Recommendations - Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam (American Empire Project) Based on classified documents and first-person interviews, a startling history of the American war on Vietnamese civilians The American Empire Project Winner of the Ridenhour Prize for Reportorial Distinction Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious My Lai massacre were isolated incidents in the Vietnam War, carried out by just a few "bad apples." But as award-winning journalist and historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this groundbreaking investigation, violence against Vietnamese noncombatants was not at all exceptional during the conflict. Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to "kill anything that moves." Drawing on more than a decade of research into secret Pentagon archives and extensive interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, Turse reveals for the first time the workings of a military machine that resulted in millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded-what one soldier called "a My Lai a month." Devastating and definitive, Kill Anything That Moves finally brings us face-to-face with the truth of a war that haunts America to this day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1700432436558-AILN76ZL2UY9MVTGRHGG/Mussolini+New+Life.jpg Book Recommendations - Mussolini—A New Life ‘The question of whether Italians had to pay too much in terms of loss of liberty has been answered by Farrell in a passionate and thought-provoking way...This highly spirited, opinionated and rather remarkable book.’ – Andrew Roberts, Daily Telegraph In his own time, the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was one of the most admired figures of his age. Winston Churchill called him ‘the Roman Genius’ and Pope Pius XI said he was ‘sent by providence’ to save Italy. Yet Mussolini has gone down in history as nothing more than a grotesque buffoon. Drawing on freshly discovered material - including correspondence previously unavailable outside academia - this a revelatory biography of the Italian fascist leader and dictator puts him in a fresh light. How did Mussolini manage to take power and hold on to it for two decades? And how did he successfully curtail democracy without using mass murder to stay in command? Farrell answers these questions and more, focusing particularly on Mussolini's fatal error: his alliance with Hitler, whom he despised. Anyone interested in history, politics, and World War II will encounter an intriguing and startling picture of one of the 20th century's key figures. ‘A fascinating and at times wilfully revisionist work...Farrell’s account of Mussolini’s last days — his betrayal and his pitiful death — is masterly and surprisingly moving...In many ways a fine, thought-provoking book.’ – Glasgow Herald ‘What [Farrell] shows is what so many liberals want to suppress: that just because a dictator is Right-wing does not mean that he is as bad as Hitler, and that no dictator so far, apart from Hitler, was as bad as Stalin, for whom many a liberal was an apologist. Farrell has written much the most plausible biography of Mussolini.’ – Daily Telegraph ‘Nicholas Farrell has produced a fascinating biography of Mussolini which is bound to be controversial...It is inevitable that Farrell will have the adjective “revisionist” attached to his name, although surely the alternative to “revisionist” history is plagiarism?...Farrell’s greatest contribution is to ground [Mussolini] in his context as a very Italian phenomenon...The questions Mussolini was trying to answer are, Farrell makes clear, as pertinent now as they were then...this mammoth but highly readable work.’ – Spectator Nicholas Farrell read history at Cambridge University (Gonville and Caius College) and was for many years on the staff of the Sunday Telegraph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1693118148731-RB4URV87MBNXAUU1EY1D/Shakespeare+Was+A+Woman.jpeg Book Recommendations - Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies: How Doubting the Bard Became the Biggest Taboo in Literature An “extraordinarily brilliant” and “pleasurably naughty” (André Aciman) investigation into the Shakespeare authorship question, exploring how doubting that William Shakespeare wrote his plays became an act of blasphemy…and who the Bard might really be. The theory that Shakespeare may not have written the works that bear his name is the most horrible, unspeakable subject in the history of English literature. Scholars admit that the Bard’s biography is a “black hole,” yet to publicly question the identity of the god of English literature is unacceptable, even (some say) “immoral.” In Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies, journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out to probe the origins of this literary taboo. Whisking you from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon to Washington, DC, she pulls back the curtain to show how the forces of nationalism and empire, religion and mythmaking, gender and class have shaped our admiration for Shakespeare across the centuries. As she considers the writers and thinkers—from Walt Whitman to Sigmund Freud to Supreme Court justices—who have grappled with the riddle of the plays’ origins, she explores who may perhaps have been hiding behind his name. A forgotten woman? A disgraced aristocrat? A government spy? Hovering over the mystery are Shakespeare’s plays themselves, with their love for mistaken identities, disguises, and things never quite being what they seem. As she interviews scholars and skeptics, Winkler’s interest turns to the larger problem of historical truth—and of how human imperfections (bias, blindness, subjectivity) shape our construction of the past. History is a story, and the story we find may depend on the story we’re looking for. “Lively” (The Washington Post), “fascinating” (Amanda Foreman), and “intrepid” (Stacy Schiff), Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies will forever change how you think of Shakespeare…and of how we as a society decide what’s up for debate and what’s just nonsense, just heresy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1693806869242-A3RUW3BZ2XM1G6L6KOY1/DawnofEverything.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution—from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality—and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation. For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike—either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself. Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what’s really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697964763506-8WEC50X739URUAQ5VFSN/Selective+Breeding+Philosophy.jpg Book Recommendations - Selective Breeding and the Birth of Philosophy This is an argument that philosophy is born with and dependent on the idea of nature; and that this idea was first discovered or manifested in the perception of biological reality, in particular the perception of hereditary transmission of physical and behavioral qualities, together with the perception that moral and legal codes are relative and contingent. It was generally only within the spiritual and intellectual horizon of certain types of aristocracies to have access to such perceptions, as well as ability and liberty to openly state or explore them. A connection is further observed, on these grounds, between philosophy and tyranny, or rather the philosopher and tyrant as closely related types that emerge during the decline of e.g., Greek and Renaissance Italian aristocratic communities. I make this case through a study of Nietzsche's reading of antiquity, in particular his reading of Plato and Pindar, or rather a Nietzschean reading of these. The first long chapter also covers George Frazer and anthropological and historical literature, as well as Homer. This is a revised version of my own doctoral dissertation, and includes a long new introduction explaining my intentions in this book. I make the case in this introduction that this same matter of selective breeding, whether sexual selection, or various societies' management of marriage and reproduction, constitutes the most important part of morality, legislation, or of the "lawgiver's art," and that a sharp awareness of this reality is what led, again, to the discovery of the standard of nature and the subsequent birth of philosophy. The type of the tyrant is ultimately interpreted as a kind of "active philosophy," although it must be emphasized that such can only be the case for the ancient Greek or Renaissance Italian type, not what is called by the name "tyrant" indiscriminately today. Accordingly the voice of Callicles in Plato's Gorgias is interpreted as the political philosophy, or the weaponized posture of the pre-Socratic philosophical type. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1694156661201-6BXTQSE5NTP5NWD5EH8T/DreamSolomo.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Dream of Solomeo: My Life and the Idea of Humanistic Capitalism The autobiography of someone who has realized the dream of combining ethics and capitalism Solomeo's dream is that of a farmer who, following the humanistic values discovered in rural life and philosophy, becomes a great industrialist. A dream that can also show that it is possible to restore life to ancient centers and nobility to the suburbs. Brunello Cucinelli retraces his personal journey and evokes the sense of humanity learned from the Greeks, which accompanied him every day in his search for wisdom and virtuous practice. His guides are man's moral and economic dignity. The cardinal points that guide this journey are beauty, when it is combined with custody, and old age, when it is loved by young people, wealth, when it is combined with gift, and the simplicity of truly great things. Thus was born the concept of "fair work" as respect for nature, man and his aspiration to dream: this is "humanistic capitalism". Of the masters of the past we find in these pages the search for silence, recollection, and that luminous solitude populated with memories and thoughts which is the only condition for not being alone. In 1978 he founded a small business with the idea of coloring cashmere, cultivating from the outset the dream of a job that respects the "moral and economic dignity of man". In 1982 Solomeo became the object of his dreams and the great laboratory of successes as an entrepreneur and humanist. Three years later, he bought the ruined castle of the village and made it the headquarters of his company. To adapt the production structures to his growth, in 2000 he bought and re-adapted old factories at the foot of the village. He is passionately dedicated to the restoration of Solomeo and to the construction of a Forum of the Arts dedicated to culture, beauty and encounters. In 2013 Cucinelli presented the company on the Milan Stock Exchange. In the same year he established a School of Arts and Crafts in Solomeo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1694164357723-EMB570U1TR5FT89NQQ03/EndofReality.jpeg Book Recommendations - The End of Reality: How Four Billionaires are Selling a Fantasy Future of the Metaverse, Mars, and Crypto A brilliant takedown and exposé of the great con job of the twenty-first century—the metaverse, crypto, space travel, transhumanism—being sold by four billionaires (Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen, Elon Musk), leading to the degeneration and bankruptcy of our society. At a time when the crises of income inequality, climate, and democracy are compounding to create epic wealth disparity and the prospect of a second American civil war, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme—the metaverse, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism—is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms. In The End of Reality¸ Jonathan Taplin provides perceptive insight into the personal backgrounds and cultural power of these billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreesen (“The Four”) —and shows how their tech monopolies have brought middle-class wage stagnation, the hollowing out of many American towns, a radical increase in income inequality, and unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, the enormous amount of taxpayer money to be funneled into the dystopian ventures of "The Four," the benefits of which will accrue to billionaires, exacerbate these disturbing trends. The End of Reality is both scathing critique and reform agenda that replaces the warped worldview of "The Four" with a vision of regenerative economics that seeks to build a sustainable society with healthy growth and full employment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695020143722-ZTTOUHUTZY2UH0201YVJ/A+Problem+From+Hell.jpg Book Recommendations - A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide ‘A devastating indictment’ SUNDAY TIMES ‘An important book, a superb piece of reporting’ OBSERVER ‘With great narrative verve, and a sober and subtle intelligence, she carries us deep behind the scenes of history-in-the-making’ PHILIP GOUREVITCH Why do leaders who vow ‘never again’ repeatedly fail to prevent genocide? In her award-winning modern classic, Samantha Power presents a deeply researched and powerfully argued answer to this haunting question. Disproving claims that successive American leaders were unaware of genocidal horrors occurring around the world, Power tells the stories of courageous individuals who risked their careers and lives in an effort to save others, revealing how policy makers and outsiders alike ignored chilling warnings and rationalised inaction. A riveting account, A Problem From Hell has forever reshaped debates about foreign policy, while inspiring a new generation to raise their voices in the face of contemporary injustice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1711786145985-GYR8RF3PDI39CZTJFL7S/Immune.jpg Book Recommendations - Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive A gorgeously illustrated deep dive into the immune system that will forever change how you think about your body, from the creator of the popular science YouTube channel Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell “Through wonderful analogies and a genius for clarifying complex ideas, Immune is a truly brilliant introduction to the human body’s vast system for fighting infections and other threats.”—John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You’re mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door. But most of us never really stop to ask: What even is our immune system? Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you’ve been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body. Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body’s defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself. Enlivened by engaging full-color graphics and immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects—immunology—into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695109110968-ZIPDSXB67YX9ONLYVVQX/Bhagavad+Gita.jpg Book Recommendations - The Bhagavad Gita The Bhagavad Gita (“ The Song of the God” ), a sacred Indian scripture, is considered one of the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy. In the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna, it explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and universe. This translation by poet, translator and religious studies scholar Mani Rao makes the Gita accessible to the first-time reader, and brings fresh insights for those familiar with it. Sensitive to the nuances, word-play and texture of the Sanskrit original, this translation has been critically acclaimed.Includes translation of the Ishavasya Upanishad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1716274206015-BQJ9W4M17P7HNRMNFI50/Shrinking+Technosphere.jpg Book Recommendations - Shrinking the Technosphere: Getting a Grip on Technologies that Limit our Autonomy, Self-sufficiency and Freedom This book debunks the prevailing view that whatever the problem, it's newer, bigger and better technology that's the solution. Over the past two centuries we have witnessed a wholesale replacement of most of the previous methods of conducting both business and daily life with new, technologically advanced, more efficient methods. What exactly is progressive or efficient about this new arrangement is hardly ever examined in depth: if the new ways of doing things are so much better, then we must all be leading relaxed, stress-free, enjoyable lives with plenty of free time to devote to art and leisure activities. But a more careful look at these changes shows us that many of these advances are not weighing favourably in a harm/benefit comparison. The harm to the environment, society, and even to our own personalities, on an individual level, is plain to see, but is brushed off with hollow claims about efficiency and progress. Shrinking the Technosphere guides readers through the process of bringing technology down to a manageable number of carefully chosen, essential, well-understood and controllable elements. It is about regaining the freedom to use technology for our own benefit, and is critical reading for all who seek to get back to a point where technologies assist us rather than control us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695174887436-W84VSJ3O97S9K4HLL5QQ/Waking+Up.jpg Book Recommendations - The Politics of Waking Up: Power and possibility in the fractal age Everyone thinks they know what it means to be 'woke' - whether they're proudly declaring it, or angrily attacking it. But writer, political entrepreneur and psychosocial therapist Indra Adnan has written a comprehensive and necessary account of 'waking up' - to the realities of climate crisis, social breakdown, and personal agency - which implicates us all. In the internet era, no one escapes the global revolution of learning, connecting and mobilising and its entangled consequences. This reality demands a political response. But our current politics - led by squabbling parties and their exhausted ideologies - are clearly broken and dysfunctional. Only 2% of the UK electorate think it's worth the time or money to join a political party. How do we put the full spectrum of a consciously awakening humanity at the heart of society, economy and politics? As social bonds fray and the planet burns, a politics of 'waking up' is more urgently required than ever. Informed by decades of public advocacy, transformative work with both local and global communities, as well as her lifelong commitment to inner wisdom, The Politics of Waking Up lays out Adnan's practical, beautiful and urgent ways to redesign politics for an era of people power. Drawing on her years of political entrepreneurship as co-initiator of The Alternative UK, Adnan shares a compelling vision of a 'fractal' politics with an emphasis on new patterns of behaviour and viable prototypes of social progress that can be copied and replicated everywhere. She presents a coherent and radical alternative to our current socio-political turbulence. One that is there for the taking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1695231082085-NZZKR8LS514F5ZST5KG8/conquerors.jpg Book Recommendations - Conquerors: How Portugal seized the Indian Ocean and forged the First Global Empire As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten. But Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire. In an astonishing blitz of thirty years, a handful of visionary and utterly ruthless empire builders, with few resources but breathtaking ambition, attempted to seize the Indian Ocean, destroy Islam and take control of world trade. Told with Roger Crowley's customary skill and verve, this is narrative history at its most vivid - a epic tale of navigation, trade and technology, money and religious zealotry, political diplomacy and espionage, sea battles and shipwrecks, endurance, courage and terrifying brutality. Drawing on extensive first-hand accounts, it brings to life the exploits of an extraordinary band of conquerors - men such as Afonso de Albuquerque, the first European since Alexander the Great to found an Asian empire - who set in motion five hundred years of European colonisation and unleashed the forces of globalisation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696239414355-QYWEHZYRZKT7K23VC2QZ/IfWeBurn.jpg Book Recommendations - If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution: 'as good as journalism gets' - Rob Delaney This book is phenomenal ... It's about as good as journalism gets ...The highest praise I can give If We Burn is to say that it would be criminally negligent not to read it if you'd like to change the world. - ROB DELANEY Bevins's clear-eyed, sympathetic account of the unfulfilled promise of these protests leaves his reader with a bold vision of the future. - MERVE EMRE Astunning history of now. - GREG GRANDIN From 2010 to 2020, more people took part in protests than at any other point in human history. Why has success been so elusive? From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine's Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, the second decade of the twenty-first century was propelled by explosive mass demonstrations. But few people got what they wanted. In too many cases, the protests led to the opposite of what they asked for. If We Burn is a stirring work of global history built around that strange but fundamental paradox. Acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins interviewed hundreds of people around the world, and weaves their insights and recollections into a fast-paced, gripping narrative. We follow his own troubling experiences in Brazil, where a protest movement ignited by leftists and anarchists led to an extreme-right government that torched the Amazon. In the mass protest decade, humanity demonstrated a deep desire for change, and brave individuals started something that has been left unfinished. In this ground-breaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors offer urgent lessons for those who wish to understand geopolitics today, and create a better world tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696914147110-NOFT0UA25GHLVDQWH6ZC/Evolution+Of+Irish+Nationalist+Politics.jpg Book Recommendations - The Evolution of Irish Nationalist Politics: Irish Parties and Irish Politics from the 18th Century to Modern Times Professor Tom Garvin's classic work studies the growth of nationalism in Ireland from the middle of the eighteenth century to modern times. It traces the continuity of tradition from earlier organisations, such as the United Irishmen and the agrarian Ribbonmen of the eighteenth century, through the followers of Daniel O'Connell, the Fenians and the Land League in the nineteenth century to the Irish political parties of today, including Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Labour Party and Fine Gael. The dual nature of Irish nationalism is shown in sharp focus. Despite the secular and liberal leanings of many Irish leaders and theoreticians, their followers were frequently sectarian and conservative in social outlook. This book demonstrates how this dual legacy has influenced the politics of modern Ireland.

In The Civil War in Dublin, John Dorney extends his study of Dublin beyond the Four Courts surrender, delivering shocking revelations of calculated violence and splits within the pro-Treaty armed forces. Dorney's exacting research, using primary sources and newly available eyewitness testimonies from both sides of the conflict, provides insight into how the entire city of Dublin operated under conditions of disorder and bloodshed: how civilians and guerrilla fighters controlled the streets, how female insurgents operated alongside their male counterparts, how the patterns of IRA violence and National Army counter-insurgency alternated, and-for the first time-how the pro-Treaty 'Murder Gang' emerged from Michael Collins' IRA Intelligence Department, 'the Squad', with devastating and ruthless effect. The Civil War in Dublin brings the chaos of life in the city of Dublin to life through meticulous detail, and it reveals unsettling truths about the extreme actions taken by a burgeoning Irish Free State and its Anti-Treaty opponents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1722839579435-GIK710SRG6Q84PGIM5N9/Deep+Politics+JFK.jpg Book Recommendations - Deep Politics and the Death of JFK Peter Dale Scott's meticulously documented investigation uncovers the secrets surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination. Offering a wholly new perspective―that JFK's death was not just an isolated case, but rather a symptom of hidden processes―Scott examines the deep politics of early 1960s American international and domestic policies. Scott offers a disturbing analysis of the events surrounding Kennedy's death, and of the "structural defects" within the American government that allowed such a crime to occur and to go unpunished. In nuanced readings of both previously examined and newly available materials, he finds ample reason to doubt the prevailing interpretations of the assassination. He questions the lone assassin theory and the investigations undertaken by the House Committee on Assassinations, and unearths new connections between Oswald, Ruby, and corporate and law enforcement forces. Revisiting the controversy popularized in Oliver Stone's movie JFK, Scott probes the link between Kennedy's assassination and the escalation of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam that followed two days later. He contends that Kennedy's plans to withdraw troops from Vietnam―offensive to a powerful anti-Kennedy military and political coalition―were secretly annulled when Johnson came to power. The split between JFK and his Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the collaboration between Army Intelligence and the Dallas Police in 1963, are two of the several missing pieces Scott adds to the puzzle of who killed Kennedy and why. Scott presses for a new investigation of the Kennedy assassination, not as an external conspiracy but as a power shift within the subterranean world of American politics. Deep Politics and the Death of JFK shatters our notions of one of the central events of the twentieth century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696917625643-THVWCIU4UEWXSG4THXOX/Corporate+Bullshit.jpg Book Recommendations - Corporate Bullsh*t: Exposing the Lies and Half-Truths That Protect Profit, Power, and Wealth in America Greedy corporate interests have been lying to us for centuries. Here’s an illustrated, entertaining road map for navigating through their hypocrisy and deception From praising the health benefits of cigarettes to moralizing on the character-building qualities of child labor, rich corporate overlords have gone to astonishing, often morally indefensible lengths to defend their profits. Since the dawn of capitalism, they’ve told the same lies over and over to explain why their bottom line is always more important than the greater good: You say you want to raise the federal minimum wage? Why, you’ll only make things worse for the very people you want to help! Should we hold polluters accountable for the toxins they’re dumping in our air and water? No, the free market will save us! Can we raise taxes on the rich to pay for universal healthcare? Of course not—that will kill jobs! Affordable childcare? Socialism! It’s always the same tired threats and finger-pointing, in a concentrated campaign to keep wealth and power in the hands of the wealthy and powerful. Corporate Bullsh*t will help you identify this pernicious propaganda for the wealthiest 1 percent, and teach you how to fight back. Structured around some of the most egregious statements ever made by the rich and powerful, the book identifies six categories of falsehoods that repeatedly thwart progress on issues including civil rights, wealth inequality, climate change, voting rights, gun responsibility, and more. With amazing illustrations and a sharp sense of humor, Corporate Bullsh*t teaches readers how to never get conned, bamboozled, or ripped off ever again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696918092426-L04QK5F9XL30GBPJL5KM/Rhetoric+of+Reaction.jpg Book Recommendations - The Rhetoric of Reaction: Perversity, Futility, Jeopardy With engaging wit and subtle irony, Albert Hirschman maps the diffuse and treacherous world of reactionary rhetoric in which conservative public figures, thinkers, and polemicists have been arguing against progressive agendas and reforms for the past two hundred years. He draws his examples from three successive waves of reactive thought that arose in response to the liberal ideas of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, to democratization and the drive toward universal suffrage in the nineteenth century, and to the welfare state in our own century. In each case he identifies three principal arguments invariably used--the theses of perversity, futility, and jeopardy. He illustrates these propositions by citing writers across the centuries from Alexis de Tocqueville to George Stigler, Herbert Spencer to Jay Forrester, Edmund Burke to Charles Murray. Finally, in a lightning turnabout, he shows that progressives are frequently apt to employ closely related rhetorical postures, which are as biased as their reactionary counterparts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1700432832098-UZSN6T9KPSD3LG7UVKYA/M+Son+of+the+Century.jpg Book Recommendations - M: Son of the Century: A Novel The massive international bestseller—an epic historical novel that chronicles the birth and rise of fascism in Italy, witnessed through the eyes of its founder, the terrifyingly charismatic figure who would become one of the most notorious dictators of the twentieth century, Benito Mussolini. It is 1919, and the Great War that has ravaged Europe is over. In Italy, the people are exhausted. Tired of the political class. Tired of vague promises, inept moderates, and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that has failed ordinary citizens. While elite leaders have sat idly by, achieving nothing, one outsider—the director of a small opposition newspaper and a tireless political agitator—is electrifying the masses, promising hope for a demoralized nation hungry for change. A former socialist leader ousted by his own party, he is a drifter who knows what it is to feel lost. His voice speaks for the misfits and the outcasts; he is a protector of those who are forgotten. He is Benito Mussolini. And soon Italy—and the world—will be forever remade. In M: Son of the Century, Antonio Scurati tells the story of fascism from within the mind of its founder, the man known to his followers as Il Duce. Steeped in historical detail and interspersed with period documents and sources, this masterful saga explores the seductive power of nationalism and idolatry, revealing how authoritarianism took hold and a nation bent to the will of one ruthless strongman. Provocative and resonant, M is a chilling reminder that the past is never gone, and that it holds urgent lessons for us today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696923318909-YG52O4X5B4DESE2TXL9Y/On+Genocide.jpg Book Recommendations - On genocide: And a summary of the evidence and the judgments of the International War Crimes Tribunal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697348153170-93L9ZSA4JY7JRCK3MQ23/IrelandColonialism.jpg Book Recommendations - Ireland, Colonialism, and the Unfinished Revolution A groundbreaking examination of the colonial legacy and future of Ireland, showing how Ireland’s story is linked to and informs anti-imperialism around the world. Colonialism is at the heart of making sense of Irish history and contemporary politics across the island of Ireland. And as Robbie McVeigh and Bill Rolston argue, Ireland’s experience is central to understanding the history of colonization and anti-colonial politics throughout the world. Part history, part analysis, Ireland, Colonialism, and the Unfinished Revolution charts the centuries of Irish colonial history, from England’s proto-imperial engagement with Ireland in 1155 to the Union in 1801, and the subsequent struggles for Irish independence and the legacies of partition from 1921. A century later, the plate tectonics of Irishness are shifting once again. The Union is in crisis and alternatives to partition are being seriously considered outside the Republican tradition for the first time in generations. These significant structural changes suggest that the coming times might finally see the completion of the decolonization project – the finishing of the revolution. In the words of the revolutionary Pádraig Pearse: Anois ar theacht an tSamhraidh – now the summer is coming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697659515583-QDB78EMZTBUWB8RE8GXJ/HowTheWorldReallyWorks.jpg Book Recommendations - How the World Really Works: A Scientist’s Guide to Our Past, Present and Future 'Another masterpiece from one of my favorite authors . . . If you want a brief but thorough education in numeric thinking about many of the fundamental forces that shape human life, this is the book to read. It's a tour de force' BILL GATES __________ We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don't know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts. In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn't inevitable and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. Drawing on the latest science and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1697871468463-KAV63NQPLBMM8FIBU5PJ/End+Megamachine.jpg Book Recommendations - The End of the Megamachine: A Brief History of a Failing Civilization The End of the Megamachine provides a uniquely comprehensive picture of the roots of the destructive forces that are threatening the future of humankind today. Spanning 5000 years of history, the book shows how the three tyrannies of militarized states, capital accumulation and ideological power have been steering both ecosystems and societies to the brink of collapse. With the growing instability of the Megamachine in the 21st century, new dangers open up as well as new possibilities for systemic change, to which everyone can contribute. Originally published in Germany in 2015 to great acclaim, Zero Books presents the first English language edition of The End of the Megamachine: A Brief History of a Failing Civilization. “The topic could not be more important. A very valuable and surely timely contribution.” Noam Chomsky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1698571597989-25HJC1Z51IZL4G3IXY0D/New+Laviathans.jpg Book Recommendations - The New Leviathans: Thoughts After Liberalism 'One of the most important thinkers alive' The Times Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, Hobbes' cold political vision continues to see through any number of political and ethical vanities. In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors and disappointments through a new reading of Hobbes' classic work. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near-apoplectic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas flourished, and yet still our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations which will somehow dissolve away. Hobbes would not be so confident. Filled with fascinating and challenging perceptions, The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more self-aware, realistic and disabused ethics help us all? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1698663208999-Q1FY7N9F9ZJDIH9JXF1M/Goodbye+Eastern+Europe.jpg Book Recommendations - Goodbye Eastern Europe: An Intimate History of a Divided Land 'Do not rush to bid farewell to eastern Europe until reading this book. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this very personal story of the place that one can’t find on the map pays tribute to the origins of the experiences, cultures and ideas that continue to shape political and ideological battles of the modern world.' Serhii Plokhy An epic history of the ‘other’ Europe, a place of conflict and coexistence, of faith and folklore Eastern Europe is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and independence declarations. From the Baltics to the Balkans, from Prague to Kiev, the area exuded a tragicomic character like no other. This is a paean for a disappearing world of movable borders, sacred groves and syncretism. And an invitation to not forget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1699262507244-48NENZO7GCDGRLPDQ3NB/Rethinking+Islam+%26+The+West.jpg Book Recommendations - Rethinking Islam & the West: A New Narrative for the Age of ISLAM AND THE WEST have been neighbours for 1400 years. The West grew up under the shadow of Islam, and then after the Renaissance, in a dramatic reversal of roles, the West became world conquerors and subdued all other cultures and civilisations, including Islam. This transformation ushered in the modern world, a world unlike any that had existed before. All nations are now judged according to their scientific progress, technological development and economic growth. And yet, humanity is now experiencing multiple crises that are threatening our very existence. Population explosion, financial, social and political instability, the alarming growth of mental illness, the threat of nuclear annihilation and climate change all loom over humanity like a dark cloud. Simultaneously, the world is witnessing a dangerous escalation in the polarisation between Islam and the West. In this thought-provoking book, we are invited to view the crises we are facing and the tangled relationship between Islam and the West through a different lens. Keeler proposes that the true yardstick for measuring success should be the balance achieved between the spiritual, social and material needs of humanity; a balance which makes it possible to live in harmony with nature. When the world is viewed from this perspective, a completely different picture of Islam and the West emerges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1709444989610-G6OYS6NGX05DWLZIUVGM/zen-economics.jpg Book Recommendations - Zen Economics Zen Economics addresses the background philosophical issues around economics, science and technology to place them in context and then applies the results to work and labor, income and wealth distribution, environmental crisis and animal rights. Zen enters as absence, as radical humility toward what is knowable and what is known. This view derives from years spent with the base texts of existential philosophy, from correspondence between Martin Heidegger and D.T. Suzuki around the relationship between Heidegger’s ontology and Zen and from Buddhism as a practical, non-deistic, philosophy of life. The book ends with a political program that emerges from four decades of political activism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1700462844122-GTHZ9WCYOBDAL1XL6MKD/Iron+Wall.jpg Book Recommendations - The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World Avi Shlaim's The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World is the outstanding book on Israeli foreign policy, now thoroughly updated with a new preface and chapters on Israel's most recent leaders In the 1920s, hard-line Zionists developed the doctrine of the 'Iron Wall': negotiations with the Arabs must always be from a position of military strength, and only when sufficiently strong Israel would be able to make peace with her Arab neighbours. This doctrine, argues Avi Shlaim, became central to Israeli policy; dissenters were marginalized and many opportunities to reconcile with Palestinian Arabs were lost. Drawing on a great deal of new material and interviews with many key participants, Shlaim places Israel's political and military actions under and uncompromising lens. His analysis will bring scant comfort to partisans on both sides, but it will be required reading for anyone interested in this fascinating and troubled region of the world. 'The Iron Wall is strikingly fair-minded, scholarly, cogently reasoned and makes enthralling ... reading' Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph 'Anyone wanting to understand the modern Middle East should start by reading this elegantly written and scrupulously researched book' Trevor Royle, Sunday Herald 'A milestone in modern scholarship of the Middle East' Edward Said 'Fascinating ...

A powerful biographical story, In Search of Fatima reflects the author's personal experiences of displacement and loss against a backdrop of the major political events which have shaped conflict in the Middle East. Speaking for the millions of displaced people worldwide who have lived suspended between their old and new countries, fitting into neither, this is an intimate, nuanced exploration of the subtler privations of psychological displacement and loss of identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1702662443374-DUOCEBYGK81SDSQ3DXT5/FUTUREOFDEGROWTH.jpeg Book Recommendations - The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism We need to break free from the capitalist economy. Degrowth gives us the tools to bend its bars. Economic growth isn’t working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. Not only in society at large, but also on the left, we are held captive by the hegemony of growth. Even proposals for emancipatory Green New Deals or postcapitalism base their utopian hopes on the development of productive forces, on redistributing the fruits of economic growth and technological progress. Yet growing evidence shows that continued economic growth cannot be made compatible with sustaining life and is not necessary for a good life for all. This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth. Building on a vibrant field of research, it discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratise the economy, “now-topias” that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating, expansionist, and hierarchical system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1709094755355-HCTACMAPWFKICQPLDWAM/Against+The+Grain.jpg Book Recommendations - Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States An Economist Best History Book 2017 “History as it should be written.”—Barry Cunliffe, Guardian “Scott hits the nail squarely on the head by exposing the staggering price our ancestors paid for civilization and political order.”—Walter Scheidel, Financial Times Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains, and governed by precursors of today’s states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative. The first agrarian states, says James C. Scott, were born of accumulations of domestications: first fire, then plants, livestock, subjects of the state, captives, and finally women in the patriarchal family—all of which can be viewed as a way of gaining control over reproduction. Scott explores why we avoided sedentism and plow agriculture, the advantages of mobile subsistence, the unforeseeable disease epidemics arising from crowding plants, animals, and grain, and why all early states are based on millets and cereal grains and unfree labor. He also discusses the “barbarians” who long evaded state control, as a way of understanding continuing tension between states and nonsubject peoples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1703843206577-UP8BE3YCUR95UH8LNIQF/Breaking+Together.jpg Book Recommendations - Breaking Together: A freedom-loving response to collapse “This is a prophetic book” Satish Kumar, founder, Schumacher College The collapse of modern societies has begun. That is the conclusion of two years of research by the interdisciplinary team behindBreaking Together. How did it come to this? Because monetary systems caused us to harm each other & nature to such an extent it broke the foundations of our societies. So what should we do? This book describes people allowing the full pain of our predicament to liberate them into living more courageously & creatively. They demonstrate we can be breaking together, not apart, in this era of collapse. Jem Bendell argues that reclaiming our freedoms is essential to soften the fall & regenerate the natural world. Escaping the efforts of panicking elites, we can advance an ecolibertarian agenda for both politics & practical action in a broken world. "This book is part of a healing movement that extends beyond what we normally think of as ecological"Charles Eisenstein, author,Climate: A New Story "This book shows that instead of imposing elitist schemes and scams, regenerating nature and culture together is the only way forward" Dr Stella Nyambura Mbau, Loabowa Kenya "A signpost for people made politically homeless by the craziness of the last few years"Aaron Vandiver, author,Under a Poacher's Moon “The mother of all 'mic drops' on the myth of sustainable development”Katie Carr, Deep Adaptation Forum "A new compass for navigating collapse” Pablo Servigne & Raphael Stevens, authors,Another End of the World is Possible "If you want to save some of the world but hate being told what to do, this book is for you.”Clare Farrell, co-founder, Extinction Rebellion Contents Introduction 1 Economic collapse 2 Monetary collapse 3 Energy collapse 4 Biosphere collapse 5 Climate collapse 6 Food collapse 7 Societal collapse 8 Freedom to know 9 Freedom from progress 10 Freedom from banking 11 Freedom in nature 12 Freedom to collapse & grow 13 Freedom from fake green globalists Conclusion "Breaking Together constructs a comprehensive, compelling yet nuanced argument that societal collapse is well underway. Professor Bendell skillfully and seamlessly integrates personal reflection and hard data from virtually every domain to provide a unique vision of catagenesis - the creative renewal of post collapse society. He advocates for an ecolibertarian rather than the ecoauthoritarian world that is beginning to emerge. While It’s often a cliché if the reader has but one book to choose to read this year, it should be Breaking Together. That said, please center yourself as you engage with this brilliant, heartfelt, disturbing and often heartbreaking story of the possible futures that will touch everyone of the 8 billion of us."Herb Simmens, author, A Climate Vocabulary of the Future “Our societies are breaking because of damage to the living systems of our planet. It's time to face this reality and this book helps us do just that. As further collapse unfolds we need a practical alternative to global panic. Jem Bendell has got one - restoring community self-reliance as a global effort."Pooran Desai OBE, CEO, OnePlanet "Breaking Together provides an impressive and sobering analysis of what is happening in societies and the biosphere, why ‘we’ (in modern cultures) didn’t know sooner, and what realistic choices remain, both individually and collectively. Jem and his team didn't just stare into the abyss - they spent two years mapping it for us. This book provides essential wisdom on the necessity of staying engaged politically and socially, whilst attending to the toxic psycho-social patterns that need healing if we are to retain dignity and justice in the coming years."Katie Carr, Deep Adaptation Forum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704305837995-HKKEPL62LNMUXV1FC72X/Ends+Of+The+World.jpg Book Recommendations - Ends Of The World As new groundbreaking research suggests that climate change played a major role in the most extreme catastrophes in the planet's history, award-winning science journalist Peter Brannen takes us on a wild ride through the planet's five mass extinctions and, in the process, offers us a glimpse of our increasingly dangerous future Our world has ended five times: it has been broiled, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In The Ends of the World, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth’s past dead ends, and in the process, offers us a glimpse of our possible future. Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the twenty-first century have analogs in these five extinctions. Using the visible clues these devastations have left behind in the fossil record, The Ends of the World takes us inside “scenes of the crime,” from South Africa to the New York Palisades, to tell the story of each extinction. Brannen examines the fossil record—which is rife with creatures like dragonflies the size of sea gulls and guillotine-mouthed fish—and introduces us to the researchers on the front lines who, using the forensic tools of modern science, are piecing together what really happened at the crime scenes of the Earth’s biggest whodunits. Part road trip, part history, and part cautionary tale, The Ends of the World takes us on a tour of the ways that our planet has clawed itself back from the grave, and casts our future in a completely new light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1705101437043-H6NX2HK3FXQ7FH8T4RFA/Red+Skin+White+Mask.jpeg Book Recommendations - Red Skin, White Masks Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition WINNER OF THE FRANTZ FANON OUTSTANDING BOOK FROM THE CARIBBEAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION; THE CANADIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION'S C.B.

From slanging matches with Henry Kissinger to afternoon coffees with the man who captured Che Guevara, Kennard spent four years gathering extraordinarily honest testimony from the horse's mouth on how the global economic system works away from the convenient myths. It left him with only one conclusion: the world as we know it is run by an exclusive class of American racketeers who operate with virtually unlimited weapons and money, and a reach much too close to home. Owing to the very nature of the Financial Times, however, Kennard was not able to publish these findings as part of his day job. Enter The Racket, now in a fully updated second edition. This tell-all book, reported from all corners of the world, will transform everything you thought you knew about how the world works-and in whose interests. Kennard reports not only from across the United States, but from the United Kingdom, the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. In doing so he provides startlingly clear and concrete evidence of unchecked, high-level, interrelated systems of exploitation all over the world. At the same time, through encounters with high-profile opponents of the racket such as Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, and Gael García Bernal, Kennard offers a glimpse of a developing resistance, which needs to win. Now more relevant than ever, this 2nd edition contains a new preface by the author and a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1705553794488-8YKXRXAYBPPVAE6AMXSP/Big%2BMyth-%2BHow%2BAmerican%2BBusiness.jpg Book Recommendations - The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market In their bestselling book Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway revealed the origins of climate change denial. Now, they unfold the truth about another disastrous dogma: the “magic of the marketplace.” In the early 20th century, business elites, trade associations, wealthy powerbrokers, and media allies set out to build a new American orthodoxy: down with “big government” and up with unfettered markets. With startling archival evidence, Oreskes and Conway document campaigns to rewrite textbooks, combat unions, and defend child labor. They detail the ploys that turned hardline economists Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman into household names; recount the libertarian roots of the Little House on the Prairie books; and tune into the General Electric-sponsored TV show that beamed free-market doctrine to millions and launched Ronald Reagan's political career. By the 1970s, this propaganda was succeeding. Free market ideology would define the next half-century across Republican and Democratic administrations, giving us a housing crisis, the opioid scourge, climate destruction, and a baleful response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Only by understanding this history can we imagine a future where markets will serve, not stifle, democracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1706177499360-H4RMUHE68K8J1TWJF2K4/Beginning+With+Heideger.jpg Book Recommendations - Beginning with Heidegger Beginning with Heidegger is an in-depth examination of the influence that Martin Heidegger’s inceptual thought exerted on Leo Strauss, Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida and Alexander Dugin. How did these vastly different thinkers employ Heideggerian concepts to define their own philosophies and often antagonistic politics? After outlining Heidegger’s main philosophical points, it discusses attacks on and the misuse of Heidegger’s ideas to advance Rorty’s left-leaning and liberal political agenda as well as the different interpretations that Strauss and Heidegger offer regarding Plato’s notion of the Good. It also looks at the existential rebirth in Russia that Heidegger’s groundbreaking theories and Dugin’s extension of them made possible. The role of Heidegger’s notion of “Dasein” is the key to a Eurasian awakening for not just one but for many peoples of the heartland. In this respect, both Heidegger and Dugin seem to be the lights that guide a people without a philosophy into a destiny filled with meaning and identity. The book calls for the incorporation of Heidegger’s thinking into the field of political philosophy and cautions against the distorting effects of our prevailing political prejudices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1723356089199-YW47E4O252S02SPRAMA3/Creating+Atheists.jpg Book Recommendations - A Manual for Creating Atheists For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith--and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith--but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than twenty years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1706771277634-BRM7VO6JOHJVDYETE4WY/Spinoza+Collection.jpg Book Recommendations - Spinoza Collection: Ethics, Theologico-Political Treatise, On the Improvement of the Understanding Delve into the intellectual legacy of Baruch Spinoza with the "Spinoza Collection," featuring his seminal works: "Ethics," "Theologico-Political Treatise," and "On the Improvement of the Understanding." Spinoza, a visionary philosopher of the 17th century, explores profound themes such as God, ethics, and the relationship between reason and faith. In "Ethics," Spinoza formulates a systematic exploration of human existence, while "Theologico-Political Treatise" engages with questions of religion and political philosophy. "On the Improvement of the Understanding" provides insights into Spinoza's thoughts on the nature of knowledge. This collection offers readers a comprehensive view of Spinoza's contributions to philosophy, inviting contemplation on the intersections of reason, spirituality, and the human mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1709890018090-FDCUTRW7HYFSIPI51JSE/VultureCapitalism.jpg Book Recommendations - Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts, and the Death of Freedom Longlisted for the 2024 Women’s Prize for Nonfiction A Next Big Idea Book Club Must-Read for March 2024 In the vein of The Shock Doctrine and Evil Geniuses, this timely manifesto from an acclaimed journalist illustrates how corporate and political power brokers have used planned capitalism to advance their own interests at the expense of the rest of us—and how we can take back our economy for all. It’s easy to look at the state of the world around us and feel hopeless. We live in an era marked by war, climate crisis, political polarization, and acute inequality—and yet many of us feel powerless to do anything about these profound issues. We’ve been assured that unfettered capitalism is necessary to ensure our freedom and prosperity, even as we see its corrosive effects proliferating daily. Why, in our age of unchecked corporate power, are most of us living paycheck to paycheck? When the economy falters, why do governments bail out corporations and shareholders but leave everyday people in the dust? Now, economic and political journalist and progressive star on the rise Grace Blakeley exposes the corrupt system that is failing all around us, pulling back the curtain on the free market mythology we have been sold, and showing how, as corporate interests have taken hold, governments have historically been shifting away from competition and democracy and towards monopoly and oligarchy. Tracing over a century of neoliberal planning and backdoor bailouts, Blakeley takes us on a deeply reported tour of the corporate crimes, political maneuvering, and economic manipulation that elites have used to enshrine a global system of “vulture capitalism”—planned capitalist economies that benefit corporations and the uber-wealthy at the expense of the rest of us—at every level, from states to empires. Blakeley exposes the cracks already emerging within capitalism, lighting a path forward for how we can democratize our economy, not just our politics, to ensure true freedom for all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1711349425805-SQ8A9VSPX3XYMQIXID0Y/Unknowns.jpg Book Recommendations - The Unknowers: How Strategic Ignorance Rules the World Deliberate ignorance has been known as the 'Ostrich Instruction' in law courts since the 1860s. It illustrates a recurring pattern in history in which figureheads for major companies, political leaders and industry bigwigs plead ignorance to avoid culpability. So why do so many figures at the top still get away with it when disasters on their watch damage so many people's lives? Does the idea that knowledge is power still apply in today's post-truth world? A bold, wide-ranging exploration of the relationship between ignorance and power in the modern age, from debates over colonial power and economic rent-seeking in the 18th and 19th centuries to the legal defences of today, The Unknowers shows that strategic ignorance has not only long been an inherent part of modern power and big business, but also that true power lies in the ability to convince others of where the boundary between ignorance and knowledge lies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1712479281800-9DW0EVXYLV2BLJ8EOZZT/Evolution+Of+Religions.jpg Book Recommendations - The Evolution of Religions: A History of Related Traditions Thousands of religions have adherents today, and countless more have existed throughout history. What accounts for this astonishing diversity? This extraordinarily ambitious and comprehensive book demonstrates how evolutionary systematics and philosophy can yield new insight into the development of organized religion. Lance Grande—a leading evolutionary systematist—examines the growth and diversification of hundreds of religions over time, highlighting their historical interrelationships. Combining evolutionary theory with a wealth of cultural records, he explores the formation, extinction, and diversification of different world religions, including the many branches of Asian cyclicism, polytheism, and monotheism. Grande deploys an illuminating graphic system of evolutionary trees to illustrate historical interrelationships among the world’s major religious traditions, rejecting colonialist and hierarchical “ladder of progress” views of evolution. Extensive and informative illustrations clearly and vividly indicate complex historical developments and help readers grasp the breadth of interconnections across eras and cultures. The Evolution of Religions marshals compelling evidence, starting far back in time, that all major belief systems are related, despite the many conflicts that have taken place among them. By emphasizing these broad historical interconnections, this book promotes the need for greater tolerance and deeper, unbiased understanding of cultural diversity. Such traits may be necessary for the future survival of humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1714293674133-D5DLORZAEF5X48KG2MOU/Think+Like+Roman.jpg Book Recommendations - How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius "This book is a wonderful introduction to one of history's greatest figures: Marcus Aurelius. His life and this book are a clear guide for those facing adversity, seeking tranquility and pursuing excellence." —Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and The Daily Stoic The life-changing principles of Stoicism taught through the story of its most famous proponent. Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the final famous Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, cognitive psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves the life and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius together seamlessly to provide a compelling modern-day guide to the Stoic wisdom followed by countless individuals throughout the centuries as a path to achieving greater fulfillment and emotional resilience. How to Think Like a Roman Emperor takes readers on a transformative journey along with Marcus, following his progress from a young noble at the court of Hadrian—taken under the wing of some of the finest philosophers of his day—through to his reign as emperor of Rome at the height of its power. Robertson shows how Marcus used philosophical doctrines and therapeutic practices to build emotional resilience and endure tremendous adversity, and guides readers through applying the same methods to their own lives. Combining remarkable stories from Marcus’s life with insights from modern psychology and the enduring wisdom of his philosophy, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor puts a human face on Stoicism and offers a timeless and essential guide to handling the ethical and psychological challenges we face today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1715498853688-55JRQL4YORPHZCDELQ44/Europe%27s+Existential+Delemna.jpg Book Recommendations - Europe's Existential Dilemma: To Be or Not to Be an American Vassal While Europe as a whole remains a first world economic power despite Brexit, it has been unable to build a truly democratic and efficient state or carry weight as a respected power on the international scene. Its splendid intellectual and artistic icons of the past two centuries are dimming in memory, leaving it no longer a radiant cultural Mecca for the world. Starting with Brexit in 2016, the European Union is now exposed to an array of dismantling forces, including the possibility of further exits, the organized opposition of populist parties, and popular uprisings like those of the Yellow Jackets in France.Mettan outlines the long history of attempts to unify the European continent, stretching from Charlemagne to Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin, predecessors to the current iteration. He specifies the routes they took, which were most promising and durable, and why they all collapsed.Strikingly, he compares Rome's early adulation and mimicry of ancient Greece, followed by its steady encroachment and final absorption of it, to the current trajectory of relations between Europe and the United States, noting the increasing penetration of American culture and exer-extending application of its laws. The European Union has allowed the United States to tell Europeans how they are to progress, with whom they are to collaborate, and against whom they should go to war.The problems confronting contemporary Europe are then examined in greater depth―its democratic “deficit”; the stifling primacy of economics and law over politics; the sprawling expansion of an ever unsatisfactory governing institutions; its inability to secure peace within its territory; and far from least, on the ongoing encroachment on its sovereignty by the United States.Europe faces two possible futures, Mettan concludes. It can choose to lapse into insignificance, subservient to ever increasing US demands and ascendancy, unable to address its unique concerns in defense or energy policy while being denied potential economic benefits from a rising China and forced into ever deeper and dangerous confrontation with Russia.Or Europeans, fully conscious of what is at stake, can face up to Europe's problems and create an institutional framework that will enable it to stave off its inevitable decline into vassalization―seizing the opportunity of the new space opened by the emerging Chinese power to create a truly democratic and sovereign federal union. Switzerland provides a model for that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1715585210660-6W37N9HLUDCNEGPS236R/How+To+Live+Montainge.jpg Book Recommendations - Montaigne in one question and twenty attempts at an answer How to get on well with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love? How to live?This question obsessed Renaissance nobleman Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-92), who wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. Into these essays he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog's ears twitched when it was dreaming, events in the appalling civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller, and over four hundred years later, readers still come to him in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment - and in search of themselves.This first full biography of Montaigne in English for nearly fifty years relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1716277399490-GX5G2PZUNYU4ZFMTWF4W/Chaos+Bound.jpg Book Recommendations - Chaos Bound: Orderly Disorder in Contemporary Literature and Science Hayles’s point is that the almost simultaneous appearance of interest in complex systems across many disciplines―physics, mathematics, biology, information theory, literature, literary theory―signals a profound paradigm and epistemological shift. She calls the new paradigm ‘orderly disorder.’ This is a timely, informative, and enormously thought-provoking book. — Nancy Craig Simmons ― American Literature N. Katherine Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the science of chaos. She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder but as a locus of maximum information and complexity. She examines structures and themes of disorder in The Education of Henry Adams, Doris Lessing’s Golden Notebook, and works by Stanislaw Lem. Hayles shows how the writings of poststructuralist theorists including Barthes, Lyotard, Derrida, Serres, and de Man incorporate central features of chaos theory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1716447321717-FZUYWIXJ2U7ESJTEB77D/Someone+Elses+Empire.jpg Book Recommendations - Someone Else's Empire: British Illusions and American Hegemony Someone’s Else’s Empire coolly reassesses Britain’s relationship with the United States. Elite descriptions of Britain’s position in the world (‘punching above our weight’) are untenable, Tom Stevenson argues. Yet there is a refusal, in most parts of society, to examine the assumptions behind them. Half a century after British withdrawal from “east of Suez,” why has the Indo-Pacific tilt become a Whitehall priority? Why are newly opened Persian Gulf bases working side by side with Saudi and Emirati forces engaged in the catastrophic war on Yemen? The impetus for so many decisions about British foreign policy comes from a desire to maintain lieutenant rank with Washington. But British leaders and defence specialists tend to dislike seeing Britain framed by American power. A great effort is required to clear away the build-up of irrelevant, nostalgic detritus around “Global Britain.” Stevenson looks at the infrastructure of a US world order re-energised by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and fits the UK into the picture without the usual euphemisms. It is one thing to station military forces around the world to maintain your empire, he observes, but quite another to do so for someone else’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1726465467565-R5YT6M7NX34U3QMRT6GN/Globalists.jpg Book Recommendations - Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. Slobodian begins in Austria in the 1920s. Empires were dissolving and nationalism, socialism, and democratic self-determination threatened the stability of the global capitalist system. In response, Austrian intellectuals called for a new way of organizing the world. But they and their successors in academia and government, from such famous economists as Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises to influential but lesser-known figures such as Wilhelm Röpke and Michael Heilperin, did not propose a regime of laissez-faire. Rather they used states and global institutions―the League of Nations, the European Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization, and international investment law―to insulate the markets against sovereign states, political change, and turbulent democratic demands for greater equality and social justice. Far from discarding the regulatory state, neoliberals wanted to harness it to their grand project of protecting capitalism on a global scale. It was a project, Slobodian shows, that changed the world, but that was also undermined time and again by the inequality, relentless change, and social injustice that accompanied it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1718003298479-0A5BHJ0KNW0L27BOI6PK/Empire+World.jpg Book Recommendations - Empireworld: How British Imperialism Has Shaped the Globe In his ground-breaking new book, Sathnam Sanghera traces the legacies of British empire around the world. ‘Beautifully written, and not just a welcome corrective but a book for our times. This is essential reading’ Peter Frankopan ‘An absolute masterpiece’ James O’Brien ‘Deeply poignant . . . riveting . . . brave, painful, urgent and timely’ Jerry Brotton, Financial Times _____________________________________________________ 2.6 billion people are inhabitants of former British colonies. The empire's influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and its gravitational influence upon the world outside it, has been profound: from the spread of Christianity by missionaries, to nearly 1 in 3 driving on the left side of the road, to the origins of international law. Yet Britain's idea of its imperial history and the world's experience of it are two very different things. ­­ With an inimitable combination of wit, political insight and personal honesty, the award-winning author and journalist explores the international legacies of British empire – from the creation of tea plantations across the globe, to environmental destruction, conservation, and the imperial connotations of Royal tours. His journey takes him from Barbados and Mauritius to India and Nigeria and beyond. In doing so, Sanghera demonstrates just how deeply British imperialism is baked into our world. And why it’s time Britain was finally honest with itself about empire. _____________________________________________________ ‘If Britain wants to move forward as a key player on the world stage, Sanghera demonstrates, we must take time to understand our past — all warts, and all wonders, considered’ Alice Loxton, The Sunday Times ‘Engages in deep research and historical re-analysis . . . also a profoundly moving work of personal insight, intelligence and compassion’ Elizabeth Day ‘Puts Sanghera in the firmament of great imperial historians’ Yasmin Alibhai-Brown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719298782829-JFMXG7SKC7OT5H71VTKM/War+on+Workers.jpg Book Recommendations - Wall Street's War on Workers: How Mass Layoffs and Greed Are Destroying the Working Class and What to Do About It "This book gave me a new lens to see the world.”―Robert Krulwich, former co-host of WNYC’s Radiolab Addressing the pressing issues affecting everyday Americans during an election year is essential―and one of our nation's most profound challenges is the devastating impact of mass layoffs. Layoffs upend people’s lives, cause enormous stress, and lead to debilitating personal debt. The societal harm caused by mass layoffs has been known for decades. Yet, we do little to stop them. Why? Why do we allow whole communities to be destroyed by corporate decision-makers? Why do we consider mass layoffs a natural, baked-in feature of modern financialized capitalism? And what are our elected officials going to do about it? In Wall Street’s War on Workers, Les Leopold, co-founder of the Labor Institute, provides a clear lens with which we can see how healthy corporations in the United States have used mass layoffs and stock buybacks to enrich shareholders at the expense of employees. With detailed research and concise language, Leopold explains why mass layoffs occur and how our current laws and regulations allow companies to turn these layoffs into short-term financial gains. Original and insightful, Wall Street’s War on Workers places US labor practices in the broader context of our social and political life, examining the impact financial strip-mining and legalized looting are having on party politics, destroying the integrity of democratic institutions. Leopold expertly lays out how the proliferation of opioids coupled with Wall Street’s destruction of jobs in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have led to widespread mass layoff fatalism. Democrats have unarguably lost the longstanding support of millions of urban and rural workers, and Leopold points out how party leaders have been wrong about the assumption that the white working class is becoming less progressive and motivated to abandon the Democratic Party by reactionary positions on divisive social issues. With deep analyses, stark examples, and surprisingly simple proactive steps forward, Leopold also asserts that: Surviving and thriving in a competitive global economy does not require mass layoffs. A new virulent, financialized version of American capitalism is policy driven. To end mass layoffs, Wall Street’s domination of our economy must end. The accepted “wisdom” about white working-class populism is wrong. Ending stock buybacks and changing corporate officers’ pay structures could eliminate mass layoffs. Mass layoffs are not the result of inevitable economic “laws” or new technologies like artificial intelligence. Both groundbreaking and urgent, Wall Street’s War on Workers not only offers solutions that could halt mass layoffs but also offers new hope for workers everywhere. "Leopold offers a contrarian yet compelling take on America’s “white working class” . . . [and says] Democrats in 2024 ignore this massive, potentially sympathetic voting bloc at their peril."―Booklist (starred review) "Wall Street's War on Workers [is] the book neither party wants you to read . . . [It] penetrates one of the chief media deceptions of the 21st century, namely that working-class voters are driven by racism and xenophobia, and not by a more simple, enraging motive: they’ve been repeatedly ripped off, by the wealthy donors to both parties."―Matt Taibbi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1719415108570-MV85KLMQJMJ4K2NELWA0/Becoming+Earth.jpg Book Recommendations - Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life A vivid account of a major shift in how we understand Earth, from an exceptionally talented new voice. Earth is not simply an inanimate planet on which life evolved, but rather a planet that came to life. One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. We, and all living things, are more than inhabitants of Earth—we are Earth, an outgrowth of its structure and an engine of its evolution. Life and its environment have coevolved for billions of years, transforming a lump of orbiting rock into a cosmic oasis—a planet that breathes, metabolizes, and regulates its climate. Acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests spew water, pollen, and bacteria to summon rain; giant animals engineer the very landscapes they roam; microbes chew rock to shape continents; and microscopic plankton, some as glittering as carved jewels, remake the air and sea. Humans are one of the most extreme examples of life transforming Earth. Through fossil fuel consumption, agriculture, and pollution, we have altered more layers of the planet in less time than any other species, pushing Earth into a crisis. But we are also uniquely able to understand and protect the planet’s wondrous ecology and self-stabilizing processes. Jabr introduces us to a diverse cast of fascinating people who have devoted themselves to this vital work. Becoming Earth isan exhilarating journey through the hidden workings of our planetary symphony—its players, its instruments, and the music of life that emerges—and an invitation to reexamine our place in it. How well we play our part will determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1720340311798-F1DWAS7QGAL3CJRQW9TP/A+Nation+of+Shopkeepers.jpg Book Recommendations - A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petite Bourgeoisie A Nation of Shopkeepers explores the unstoppable rise of the petite-bourgeoisie, one of the most powerful, but underexplored, classes in modern society. The petite-bourgeoisie — the insecure class between the working class and the bourgeoisie — is hugely significant within global politics. Yet it remains something of a mystery. Initially identified as a powerful political force by theorists like Marx and Poulantzas, the petit-bourgeoisie was expected to decline, as small businesses and small property were gradually swallowed up by monopoly capitalism. Yet, far from disappearing, structural changes to the global economy under neoliberalism have instead grown the petite-bourgeoisie, and the individualist values associated with it have been popularized by a society which fetishizes "aspiration", home ownership and entrepreneurship. So why has this happened? A Nation of Shopkeepers sheds a light on this mysterious class, exploring the class structure of contemporary Britain and the growth of the petite-bourgeoisie following Thatcherism. It shows how the rise of home ownership, small landlordism and radical changes to the world of work have increasingly inculcated values of petite-bourgeois individualism; how popular culture has promoted and reproduced values of aspiration and conspicuous consumption that militate against socialist organizing; and, most importantly, what the unstoppable rise of the petit-bourgeoisie means for the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1725535255406-OZOCSVWAXUCM4WV2DRCA/Palestine+Zionism+Apartheid.jpg Book Recommendations - Palestine Hijacked: How Zionism Forged an Apartheid State from River to Sea How terror was used by Zionist militias to transform Palestine into an apartheid settler state. The Israel-Palestine “conflict” is typically understood to be a clash between two ethnic groups—Arabs and Jews—inhabiting the same land. Thomas Suárez digs deep below these preconceptions and their supporting “narratives” to expose something starkly different: The violent take-over of Palestine by a European racial-nationalist settler movement, Zionism, using terror to assert by force a claim to the land that has no legal or moral basis. Drawing extensively from original source documents, many revealed here for the first time, Suárez interweaves secret intelligence reports, newly-declassified military and diplomatic correspondence, and the terrorists’ own records boasting of their successes. His shocking account details a litany of Zionist terrorism against anyone in their way—the indigenous Palestinians, the British who had helped establish Zionism, and Jews who opposed the Zionist agenda. Far from being isolated atrocities by rogue groups, the use of terror was deliberate and sustained, carried out or supported by the same leaders who then established and led the Israeli state. We are still living this history: The book proves that Israel's regime of Apartheid against the Palestinians and the continued expropriation of their country are not the result of complex historical circumstances, but the intended, singular goal of Zionism since its beginning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1726462998137-PJ7G5X2UEDO42LIC8461/Catastrophe+Ethics.jpg Book Recommendations - Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices How to live a morally decent life in the midst of today's constant, complex choices In a world of often confusing and terrifying global problems, how should we make choices in our everyday lives? Does anything on the individual level really make a difference? In Catastrophe Ethics, Travis Rieder tackles the moral philosophy puzzles that bedevil us. He explores vital ethical concepts from history and today and offers new ways to think about the “right” thing to do when the challenges we face are larger and more complex than ever before. Alongside a lively tour of traditional moral reasoning from thinkers like Plato, Mill, and Kant, Rieder posits new questions and exercises about the unique conundrums we now face, issues that can seem to transcend old-fashioned philosophical ideals. Should you drink water from a plastic bottle or not? Drive an electric car? When you learn about the horrors of factory farming, should you stop eating meat or other animal products? Do small commitments matter, or are we being manipulated into acting certain ways by corporations and media? These kinds of puzzles, Rieder explains, are everywhere now. And the tools most of us unthinkingly rely on to “do the right thing” are no longer enough. Principles like “do no harm” and “respect others” don’t provide guidance in cases where our individual actions don’t, by themselves, have any effect on others at all. We need new principles, with new justifications, in order to navigate this new world. In the face of consequential and complex crises, Rieder shares exactly how we can live a morally decent life. It’s time to build our own catastrophe ethics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1727860208979-1R6JOJ607Z6EGRUZ1LPC/Copout.jpg Book Recommendations - COPOUT: How governments have failed the people on climate: An insider’s view of Climate Change Conferences, from Paris to Dubai Why, after thirty years of international climate negotiations to reduce carbon emissions, has the UN process failed to deliver a survivable outcome? Nick Breeze goes behind the scenes at the UN COPs, from Paris to Dubai, to find out what on Earth is going on Most people tend to turn away, perhaps understandably, from the key existential issue of the day: climate change or, some would say more accurately, climate collapse. Nick Breeze tells the engaging, very human story of successive COP conferences over the past decade: it is a tale of imperfection, failure even, but not yet defeat. So far, the UN process has achieved almost the exact opposite of what it first set out to achieve at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Nick shows clearly that it is not Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil nor any other climate protesters who are the extremists; the true extremists are the policymakers who consistently undermine faltering efforts to reduce emissions. Repeatedly claiming to be saving us whilst allowing carbon emissions to continue rising, governments have failed their people on climate. Nick shows us how, why and what we can do about it. The public remains largely uninformed about climate change and, for the most part, those who seek to draw attention to the issue are seen as ‘crazy’. There remains a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. Packed with his own experiences and insights from expert interviewees, Nick’s page-turning account is less about the intricacies of the science and more about the mainstream perception of how we are understanding and responding to the problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1731659830001-VOJLYCA059AILSGFHKMO/When+Trucks+Stop+Running.jpg Book Recommendations - When Trucks Stop Running: Energy and the Future of Transportation In lively and engaging language, this book describes our dependence on freight transport and its vulnerability to diminishing supplies and high prices of oil. Ships, trucks, and trains are the backbone of civilization, hauling the goods that fulfill our every need and desire. Their powerful, highly-efficient diesel combustion engines are exquisitely fine-tuned to burn petroleum-based diesel fuel. These engines and the fuels that fire them have been among the most transformative yet disruptive technologies on the planet. Although this transportation revolution has allowed many of us to fill our homes with global goods even a past emperor would envy, our era of abundance, and the freight transport system in particular, is predicated on the affordability and high energy density of a single fuel, oil. This book explores alternatives to this finite resource including other liquid fuels, truck and locomotive batteries and utility-scale energy storage technology, and various forms of renewable electricity to support electrified transport. Transportation also must adapt to other challenges: Threats from climate change, financial busts, supply-chain failure, and transportation infrastructure decay. Robert Hirsch, who wrote the “Peaking of World Oil Production” report for the U.S. Department of Energy in 2005, said that planning for peak world production must start at least 10, if not 20 years ahead of time. What little planning exists focuses mainly on how to accommodate 30 percent more economic growth while averting climate change, ignoring the possibility that we are at, or near, the end of growth. Taken for granted, the modern transportation system will not endure forever. The time is now to take a realistic and critical look at the choices ahead, and how the future of transportation may unfold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1735926161800-O9MTMO0LMKDVJBYYUOTT/Prophets+of+Doom.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1743670305410-0GCLDMFTC1HPEUQ1R37G/Combating+Cult+Mind+Control.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1743670324552-35NLBNXGLNJNQ71HLFVK/Black+Snow.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1751752147860-H34SIA1BC80SP2WS4LXQ/OPUS.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1762233066232-HHA4TPH3ZCVXQSAGGEI7/Anti+Intellectualism.jpg Book Recommendations - Anti Intellectualism In American Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1762233484064-7NNZSTLFU7EF0V012OIY/Slow+Down.jpg Book Recommendations - Slow Down Capitalism by its very nature puts us at odds with the environment.

Superb.” (Chicago Tribune) From humble origins in the provinces, Mao Zedong rose to absolute power, unifying with an iron fist a vast country torn apart by years of weak leadership, colonialism, and war. This sharply drawn and insightful account brings to life this modern-day emperor and the tumultuous era that he did so much to shape. Jonathan Spence captures Mao in all his paradoxical grandeur and sheds light on the radical transformation he unleashed that still reverberates in China today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704446234327-2WQND5MCI99NG323NNRV/maoism.jpeg Book Recommendations - Maoism at the Grassroots: Everyday Life in China’s Era of High Socialism https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704446325832-SDLKK5PAQ7LJ0L8ZOFEE/Deng.jpg Book Recommendations - Deng Xiaoping: A Revolutionary Life Deng Xiaoping joined the Chinese Communist movement as a youth and rose in its ranks to become an important lieutenant of Mao's from the 1930s onward. Two years after Mao's death in 1976, Deng became the de facto leader of the Chinese Communist Party and the prime architect of China's post-Mao reforms. Abandoning the Maoist socio-economic policies he had long fervently supported, he set in motion changes that would dramatically transform China's economy, society, and position in the world. Three decades later, we are living with the results. China has become the second largest economy and the workshop of the world. And while it is essentially a market economy ("socialism with Chinese characteristics"), Deng and his successors ensured the continuation of CCP rule by severely repressing the democratic movement and maintaining an iron grip on power. When Deng died at the age of 92 in 1997, he had set China on the path it is following to this day. Alexander Pantsov and Steven Levine's new biography of Deng Xiaoping does what no other biography has done: based on newly discovered documents, it covers his entire life, from his childhood and student years to the post-Tiananmen era. Thanks to unprecedented access to Russian archives containing massive files on the Chinese Communist Party, the authors present a wealth of new material on Deng dating back to the 1920s. In a long and extraordinary life, Deng navigated one epic crisis after another. Born in 1904, Deng, like many Asian revolutionary leaders, spent part of the 1920s in Paris, where he joined the CCP in its early years. He then studied in the USSR just as Stalin was establishing firm control over the Soviet communist party. He played an increasingly important role in the troubled decades of the 1930s and 1940s that were marked by civil war and the Japanese invasion. He was commissar of a communist-dominated area in the early 1930s, loyal henchman to Mao during the Long March, regional military commander in the anti-Japanese war, and finally a key leader in the 1946-49 revolution. During Mao's quarter century rule, Deng oscillated between the heights and the depths of power. He was purged during the Cultural Revolution, only to reemerge after Mao's death to become China's paramount leader until his own death in 1997. This objective, balanced, and unprecedentedly rich biography changes our understanding of one of the most important figures in modern history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1728294438315-J7TSO532G84PU0MAZR3F/XiJinping.jpg Book Recommendations - The Political Thought of Xi Jinping An authoritative examination of "Xi Jinping Thought"--now the official dogma of the Chinese Communist Party--that marshals Xi's personal words and writings to reveal his plan to make "the China Dream of national rejuvenation" a reality in the coming decades. Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given how swiftly and fundamentally China's relations with the rest of the world are changing under Xi's rule, it is imperative that we know what Xi Jinping Thought is, how it evolved, and why it is so important. In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively leader for life, has worked to ensure that "Xi Jinping Thought" becomes cemented as the new state ideology. Clearly inspired by the doctrine of "Mao Zedong Thought," which shaped the parameters of acceptable thinking for a quarter century, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" and serve the pathway to its fulfilment by 2050. As Xi conceives it, the China Dream is about making China great again, or restoring China to the height of its power, influence, and international standing in the mythical era of grandeur in its long imperial history. Drawing from original research of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, Tsang and Cheung conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further examine and explain how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality. An authoritative analysis of the leader-driven ideological revolution that is currently transforming China, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in where China might be headed in coming years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1740089215222-RF6WHM4NXX6S9AKJQTNK/Provoked.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1715498691550-5N9LAB3NHXIWZ2QLMY87/Creating%2BRussophobia.jpg Book Recommendations - Creating Russophobia: From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria Why do the USA, UK and Europe so hate Russia? How it is that Western antipathy, once thought due to anti-Communism, could be so easily revived over a crisis in distant Ukraine, against a Russia no longer communist? Why does the West accuse Russia of empire-building, when 15 states once part of the defunct Warsaw Pact are now part of NATO, and NATO troops now flank the Russian border? These are only some of the questions Creating Russophobia iinvestigates. Mettan begins by showing the strength of the prejudice against Russia through the Western response to a series of events: the Uberlingen mid-air collision, the Beslan hostage- taking, the Ossetia War, the Sochi Olympics and the crisis in Ukraine. He then delves into the historical, religious, ideological and geopolitical roots of the detestation of Russia in various European nations over thirteen centuries since Charlemagne competed with Byzantium for the title of heir to the Roman Empire. Mettan examines the geopolitical machinations expressed in those times through the medium of religion, leading to the great Christian schism between Germanic Rome and Byzantium and the European Crusades against Russian Orthodoxy. This history of taboos, prejudices and propaganda directed against the Orthodox Church provides the mythic foundations that shaped Western disdain for contemporary Russia. From the religious and imperial rivalry created by Charlemagne and the papacy to the genesis of French, English, German and then American Russophobia, the West has been engaged in more or less violent hostilities against Russia for a thousand years. Contemporary Russophobia is manufactured through the construction of an anti-Russian discourse in the media and the diplomatic world, and the fabrication and demonization of The Bad Guy, now personified by Vladimir Putin. Both feature in the meta-narrative, the mythical framework of the ferocious Russian bear ruled with a rod of iron by a vicious president. A synthetic reading of all these elements is presented in the light of recent events and in particular of the Ukrainian crisis and the recent American elections, showing how all the resources of the West’s soft power have been mobilized to impose the tale of bad Russia dreaming of global conquest. “By hating Russia, one hurts oneself. Swiss journalist Guy Mettan pieces together the reasons of detestation of the Kremlin and of a rhetoric that goes back to Napoleonic times despite the long list of aggressions perpetrated in the meantime by the West. And he explains why pushing Moscow toward Asia is a very serious error.” —Panorama, Italy “Like Saddam Hussein’s mythical weapons of massive destruction in 2003, Peter the Great’s fake will has been used to justify the aggressions and invasions that the Europeans, and now the Americans, still carry out against Russia.” —Libération, France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447467528-TWPOCCS9YN8USKA1JHBP/Denosevic.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1706161491472-MMFGF19JP56X0Y2Q8ET1/Inside+Putin%27s+Brain.jpg Book Recommendations - Inside "Putin's Brain": The Political Philosophy of Alexander Dugin “Millerman has insight into Putin at a philosophical level.” -Christopher Rufo, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute "You may disagree with something Millerman writes about Dugin, but you cannot ignore him. He is the leading English-language interpreter of Dugin's thought..." -Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, author of War for Eternity: The Rise of the Populist Right and the Return of Traditionalism "Given the tectonic shifts in global geopolitics and the intense intellectual ferment on the right in recent times, it could not be more timely for those with a serious interest in political philosophy to become exposed to and absorbed in the work of the Russian thinker Alexander Dugin." -Colin D. Pearce, Clemson University “Putin’s Brain,” "Putin’s Rasputin,” “The Most Dangerous Philosopher in the World.” Those are some of intriguing phrases used to describe the Russian philosopher, ideologue, and activist, Alexander Dugin, whose words seems to predict, and shape, Russia’s destiny on the world stage. Now, you can now go beyond the headlines into the heart of Dugin’s understanding of politics and philosophy, to grapple with his challenge to the West.

The problem with the vast majority of our so-called military experts is their inability to understand the Russian approach to war. It is the result of an approach we have already seen in waves of terrorist attacks—the adversary is so stupidly demonized that we refrain from understanding his way of thinking. As a result, we are unable to develop strategies, articulate our forces, or even equip them for the realities of war. The corollary of this approach is that our frustrations are translated by unscrupulous media into a narrative that feeds hatred and increases our vulnerability. We are thus unable to find rational, effective solutions to the problem. The way Russians understand conflict is holistic. In other words, they see the processes that develop and lead to the situation at any given moment. This explains why Vladimir Putin’s speeches invariably include a return to history. In the West, we tend to focus on X moment and try to see how it might evolve. We want an immediate response to the situation we see today. The idea that “from the understanding of how the crisis arose comes the way to resolve it” is totally foreign to the West. In September 2023, an English-speaking journalist even pulled out the “duck test” for me: “if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.” In other words, all the West needs to assess a situation is an image that fits their prejudices. Reality is much more subtle than the duck model…. The reason the Russians are better than the West in Ukraine is that they see the conflict as a process; whereas we see it as a series of separate actions. The Russians see events as a film. We see them as photographs. They see the forest, while we focus on the trees. That is why we place the start of the conflict on February 24, 2022, or the start of the Palestinian conflict on October 7, 2023. We ignore the contexts that bother us and wage conflicts we do not understand. That is why we lose our wars… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1716273956329-DIAC1BIZUX861I4XJK31/Reinventing+Collapse.jpg Book Recommendations - Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects-Revised & Updated A guide to the decline of the American empire for individuals, families and communities The United States is in steep decline. Plagued by runaway debt, a shrinking economy, and environmental catastrophes to rival Chernobyl, the United States has been retracing the trajectory of the Soviet Union in the early 1980s toward national bankruptcy and political dissolution. By comparing a collapse that has run its course to one that is now unfolding, Dmitry Orlov holds a unique lens up to America's present and future. As Orlov's predictions continue to come true, his writing continues to gain mainstream acceptance. This revised and updated edition of Reinventing Collapse examines the circumstances of the demise of the Soviet superpower and offers clear insights into how we might prepare for the events that are unfolding here. Orlov gives no quarter to prophets of doom and gloom, finding plenty of room for optimism, if only we focus our efforts on personal and cultural transformation instead of trying to perpetuate an impossible status quo. This challenging yet inspiring and surprisingly upbeat work is a must-read for anyone concerned about peak oil, the environment, geopolitics, international relations, and life in a resource-constrained world. Dmitry Orlov is an American engineer who was an eyewitness to the Soviet collapse and has written extensively on the subject of the impending collapse of the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447480811-WHXVP60SCPYPFQJ88D6Q/Emergence+Russia.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447511053-IDFHTWSBJ5QSUXHMA2KT/Gulag.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447581962-YS2ELBAA2NUMYJFSCH70/Lenin%27s+Tomb.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447594505-BVVVG4PZ943ZYU39PMK5/Convo+Stalin.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1718691316270-3LSE96IAB9ESSFAZXPZR/Ukraine+War+World+Order.jpg Book Recommendations - The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order Five hundred years of Western hegemony has ended, while the global majority’s aspiration for a world order based on multipolarity and sovereign equality is rising. This incisive book addresses the demise of liberal hegemony, though pointing out that a multipolar Westphalian world order has not yet taken shape, leaving the world in a period of interregnum. A legal vacuum has emerged, in which the conflicting sides are competing to define the future order. NATO expansionism was an important component of liberal hegemony as it was intended to cement the collective hegemony of the West as the foundation for a liberal democratic peace. Instead, it dismantled the pan-European security architecture and set Europe on the path to war without the possibility of a course correction. Ukraine as a divided country in a divided Europe has been a crucial pawn in the great power competition between NATO and Russia for the past three decades. The war in Ukraine is a symptom of the collapsing world order. The war revealed the dysfunction of liberal hegemony in terms of both power and legitimacy, and it sparked a proxy war between the West and Russia instead of ensuring peace, the source of its legitimacy. The proxy war, unprecedented sanctions, and efforts to isolate Russia in the wider world contributed to the demise of liberal hegemony as opposed to its revival. Much of the world responded to the war by intensifying their transition to a Eurasian world order that rejects hegemony and liberal universalism. The economic architecture is being reorganised as the world diversifies away from excessive reliance on Western technologies, industries, transportation corridors, banks, payment systems, insurance systems, and currencies. Universalism based on Western values is replaced by civilisational distinctiveness, sovereign inequality is swapped with sovereign equality, socialising inferiors is replaced by negotiations, and the rules-based international order is discarded in favour of international law. A Westphalian world order is reasserting itself, although with Eurasian characteristics. The West’s defeat of Russia would restore the unipolar world order while a Russian victory would cement a multipolar one. The international system is now at its most dangerous as the prospect of compromise is absent, meaning the winner will take all. Both NATO under US direction and Russia are therefore prepared to take great risks and escalate, making nuclear wan increasingly likely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447618015-HM56V4AZSXIKJQA6H5G3/Putins+Russia.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447628413-PFYW7T6M2PVDJGAGEFRD/Red+Famine.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447643021-ZOV1I83B79N1BTSVL4LV/Russian+Revolution.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447656903-IY7NU8RWWUYO62GNE3EH/Soldier+Chechnya.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447666414-VM4FM8PMBHM6SUKMXTBT/Ukraine+History.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704447677266-P3A683O5F6DTI0UKGCDB/White+Guard.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1704448175277-EAHWKQORCI71154PWTES/Stalin+Red+ZaR.jpg Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1743670269056-JWNR4ZPXK1067NXPEQSX/Stalingrad.jpg Book Recommendations https://www.cospolon.eu/cospolon-opinion daily 0.75 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696580198650-ERZ3MVRPRSN7UA4L3EZW/image-asset.jpeg COSPOLON Opinion - Vaccines for Doubts (Copy) Vaccines for Doubts Being certain is very important for our species and in a very unique way because we are a very unique species.

While this show frequently covers the importance of energy itself, this discussion focuses on how the ability to store and access energy has critically shaped societies. From agriculture, to wood, to coal, to oil, each transition has marked a new way for humans to interact with the world around them. What would it mean for economic growth if we no longer have access to these storable energies? What does the necessity of storability mean for electricity - an inherently flow-based energy form? Would human societies moving back to a flow-based energy system also mean once again becoming in-sync with the Earth and her ecosystems?

These contexts are often compartmentalized creating perilous divisions between parents, children, schools, counselors and society at large - leading to solutions that come up short. Yet human commonalities contain opportunities for care, vitality and curiosity. Which conditions allow mutual learning to flourish? Nora Bateson is an author and filmmaker.

She discovers dark forces bent on warping our politics in their image as she goes through the looking glass. What starts as a story of mistaken identity with her namesake, Naomi Wolf soon becomes a parable of how social media and identity transformed a liberal feminist into a gun-toting momfluencer sidekick to Steve Bannon. Ash sat down with Naomi to talk about the perils of personal branding, Barbie’s environmental footprint, and the war mentality of the far right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696514451213-XHXZWROAI7NS9DOJF4G5/Vandana-Shiva.jpeg People I Follow Closely - Dr. Vandana Shiva (Copy) Dr. Vandana Shiva Vandana Shiva (born 5 November 1952) is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and anti-globalisation author.[2] Based in Delhi, Shiva has written more than 20 books.[3] She is often referred to as "Gandhi of grain" for her activism associated with the anti-GMO movement.[4] Shiva is one of the leaders and board members of the International Forum on Globalization (with Jerry Mander, Ralph Nader, and Helena Norberg-Hodge), and a figure of the anti-globalisation movement.[5] She has argued in favour of many traditional practices, as in her interview in the book Vedic Ecology (by Ranchor Prime).

But she is opposed by powerful multinational corporations invested in continuing their degenerative but lucrative agricultural practices. She is also the founder of Navdanya, an Earth Centric, Women centric and Farmer led movement for the protection of Biological and cultural Diversity. Since 1987 Dr. Vandana Shiva has been saving seeds in the commons to resist seed patterns and seed monopoly. She has created 100 of community seed banks and fought many cases of biopiracy including Neem, Basmati and Wheat. Her work and Navdanya, the movement she started shows that conserving and regenerating biodiversity is the answer to hunger, suspicious extinction and climate change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696541135124-TH3WXYZWN3UG800Q8T6M/John+Vervaeke.jpeg People I Follow Closely - John Vervaeke (Copy) John Vervaeke John Vervaeke, Ph.D. is an award-winning professor of psychology, cognitive science, and Buddhist psychology at the University of Toronto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a59533e4b0159222b430a2/1696541326389-O79BBJ52AN82TWHUPQ5G/image-asset.jpeg People I Follow Closely - Unlocking the Power of Cognitive Science in Government with Dr. John Vervaeke & Carla Groom (Copy) Unlocking the Power of Cognitive Science in Government with Dr. John Vervaeke & Carla Groom Dr. John Vervaeke engages in a multi-faceted conversation with Carla Groom, who is ingeniously incorporating cognitive science into her work. Vervaeke provides a scholarly background on mental models, drawing from philosophy and cognitive science to elucidate how humans make sense of their world. Groom shares her front-line experiences, revealing how these theories translate into actionable insights in government. The discussion evolves into a kaleidoscope of ideas, from the dynamics of mental models in decision-making to the nuanced philosophy of 'we agency' and collective intelligence. The conversation not only dissects the complexities of problem-solving in the public sector but also expands to the cosmos as they explore how NASA scientists navigate rovers on Mars. Focusing on the intricate balance between human cognition and the demands of large organizational structures, this episode is an intellectual treasure trove for anyone fascinated by the crossroads of cognitive science, governance, and human behavior. Carla Groom is a pioneering force in the realm of behavioral science, currently steering the field of Human-Centred Design Science at the UK's Department of Work and Pensions. With a doctorate in social psychology from Northwestern University, she identified fundamental flaws in traditional empirical research methods, leading her to become a luminary in policy and organizational decision-making. Carla's unique practice focuses on debunking false assumptions in policy design by digging deep into contextual human behavior. Not only is she a sought-after conference speaker and academic peer reviewer, but she also thrives on educating others in her transformative methods. Her multidisciplinary team of experts continually enriches her own understanding, making her a perpetual student in a field in which she has substantially evolved.
