    "Democracy: The Political Tale" pulls readers into an exciting exploration of government complexities, directed by the author's own intimate experiences with democracy and tyranny. Leaning upon real-life events, the account digs deep into the profound effects of being forced out from a dictatorship nation and thereafter growing up in a democracy. The striking distinction between these structures influences the author's thorough study of representative democracy. 
    This book points out the issues in the way democratic systems currently work. It talks about how these systems struggle to handle the ever-changing, intricate demands of our present-day world. Elected officials becoming disconnected and a small group of people rule, despite a lack of public support, are clearly detailed—this reveals weakness in the system. The book uses smart examples to show times when agreement on vital matters couldn't be reached. It also delves into the trials presented by today's growth and society. All these details help champion the need for enhancements to our current system. 
    When the writer doubts the power of our representative democracy, a strong urge comes for decisions to include more folks and be more clear. The final parts of the book reveal personal stories, underlining the vital part democracy plays, but also being honest about its flaws. Calling for big fixes that can truly help society, "Democracy: The Political Saga" is a strong affirmation of the continuous search for a way to rule that fits well with today's complex world.

    In this work, Russell presents his views on the problems of modern society and offers his proposals for a better future. He critiques both capitalism and socialism as inadequate solutions, and instead advocates for a system based on guild socialism, where workers control the means of production and are organized into functional groups. Russell argues that the ultimate goal of society should be the development of the individual, and proposes a society that is organized around individual freedom and fulfillment rather than material wealth. He advocates for the abolition of the wage system and the establishment of a system of economic cooperation and communal ownership. He also discusses the role of education in a free society, arguing that it should be aimed at cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and individuality. Read in English, unabridged.

    The remarkable true story of the rise and fall of one of North America's most influential media moguls. 
    When George McCullagh bought The Globe and The Mail and Empire and merged them into the Globe and Mail, the charismatic 31-year-old high school dropout had already made millions on the stock market. It was just the beginning of the meteoric rise of a man widely expected to one day be prime minister of Canada. But the charismatic McCullagh had a dark side. Dogged by the bipolar disorder that destroyed his political ambitions and eventually killed him, he was all but written out of history. It was a loss so significant that journalist Robert Fulford has called McCullagh’s biography "one of the great unwritten books in Canadian history"—until now.  
    In Big Men Fear Me, award-winning historian Mark Bourrie tells the remarkable story of McCullagh’s inspirational rise and devastating fall, and with it sheds new light on the resurgence of populist politics, challenges to collective action, and attacks on the free press that characterize our own tumultuous era.
