  Capitalist Punishment - How Wall...

  Vivek Ramaswamy

  A Wall Street cartel has quietly seized control of the American economy, and they are forcing governments and businesses to bow down to their political agenda—using your money to do it. 
  Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn’t even theirs. These asset managers have accumulated all their power through “passive funds,” as most investors no longer believe anyone can reliably pick stocks. Yet the Big Three have decided that they can reliably pick the right social policies instead. 
  As entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy reveals, the results are all bad—and working their way into every corner of the economy. They force US companies to adopt “racial equity audits” and “emissions caps” while supporting human rights atrocities in China. They coerce Western companies to produce less oil while shifting production to dirtier places like Russia. They allow companies like FTX to take victory laps on good management while collapsing like a house of cards. They charge high fees to mom-and-pop investors for so-called sustainable funds that are effectively identical to lower-fee index funds. 
  Worst of all, they’re celebrated as heroes—at least so far. Capitalist Punishment lifts the veil on the largest fiduciary breaches, antitrust abuses, and First Amendment violations of the twenty-first century, misdeeds that are hiding in plain sight.  
  This isn’t just a threat to capitalism. It’s a threat to democratic self-governance itself. Capitalist Punishment is an easy-to-follow educational tour de force for every participant in financial markets—which, to the surprise of most Americans, includes nearly every single one of them.

  Destiny of Liberty

  In this book, author Mwanandeke Kindembo presented the reader with his manifesto, or a shared reality that exemplifies his ultimate mission. Which is based on finding within himself the motivation, or the correct vision to improve the world around him. He showed us the geography of his passions and how he is ready to step in to lead people to the promised land of liberty. The author delved into his own hidden agendas to find a more realistic worldview based on direct experience, rather than imaginary subjects. He placed more emphasis on land reform, the history of the D.R.Congo, the social and cultural influence, economic and political struggles of Africa. The book is filled with drastic, yet beautiful transformations that will change the course of the lives of many. Change for the better, thereby enabling citizens to live according to their fullest desires and potentials. The author has demonstrated an ideal view that will progress over time to developing his own unique understanding of his process, rather than relying on socially accepted belief systems. 
  Dedication (in the author's own words): I want to take this precious time to dedicate this book to my continent mama Africa, and especially to my compatriots in the Democratic Republic of Congo and any believer in the destiny of liberty. I am truly one of you. I come to you in the name of peace and love. Oh Africa! My love for you will never cease or end until I see that day that you get your full freedom; with your children. I ask this in the name of democracy and all the attributes that are associated with the redemption and freedom of nations.

  Two Tactics of Social-Democracy

  Two Tactics of Social Democracy in the Democratic Revolution is one of the most important of Lenin's early writings. It was written in June and July 1905, while the Russian Revolution of 1905 was taking place. Lenin's preface poses these questions: "in educating and organizing the working class;...where should we place the main political emphasis in this work of education and organization? On the trade unions and legally existing associations, or on an insurrection, on the work of creating a revolutionary army and a revolutionary government?"The history of social democracy stretches back to the 19th-century socialist movement. It came to advocate an evolutionary and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism, using established political processes, in contrast to the revolutionary socialist approach to transition associated with orthodox Marxism. In the early post-war era in Western Europe, social democratic parties rejected the Stalinist political and economic model then-current in the Soviet Union, committing themselves either to an alternative path to socialism or to a compromise between capitalism and socialism. In this period, social democrats embraced a mixed economy based on the predominance of private property, with only a minority of essential utilities and public services under public ownership. Social democrats promoted Keynesian economics, state interventionism, and the welfare state while placing less emphasis on the goal of replacing the capitalist system (factor markets, private property, and wage labor) with a qualitatively different socialist economic system.Produced by Macc KayProduction executive Avalon GiulianoICON Intern Eden Garret Giuliano©2021 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Eden Garret GiulianoGeoffrey Giuliano is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird:

  In We Will Be Heard, noted political scientist Jo Freeman chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power. Most of their stories are little-known, but Freeman's compelling portrait of women working for change reminds us that women have never been silent in the political affairs of the nation. From J. Ellen Foster's address to the 1892 Republican Convention to Nancy Pelosi's 2007 election as the first female Speaker of the House, women have worked to influence politics at every level. Well before most could vote, women campaigned for candidates and lobbied to shape public policy. Men welcomed their work, but not their ideas. Even with equal suffrage women faced many barriers to full political participation. The fifteen case studies of women's struggles for political influence in this book provide the historical context for today's political events. Starting with an overview of when and why political women have been studied, the three sections of the book look at different ways in whi

  JD Vance and the Future of the...

  Before 2016, JD Vance was completely unknown to the American public. He 
  had a compelling life story: A poor kid from a dysfunctional family in 
  Middletown, Ohio, encouraged by the loving support of his grandmother and a 
  handful of others within his family and community. He rose from a broken 
  home and a broken community, joined the Marines, went to Yale Law School, 
  and ended up an elite lawyer working in Silicon Valley with some of the 
  richest and smartest people in the world. 
  Now, Vance is one of the most powerful and influential Republicans in the 
  country. But unlike many politicians, Vance is a public intellectual. Years 
  before he ran for public office, Vance was a prolific thinker, writer, and 
  speaker, grappling with some of the most important issues that face the 
  Republican Party and the nation today. 
  Vance has a solid grip on where the Republican Party has come from and 
  where it is heading. He sees the various factions and coalitions that make up 
  the Party and understands them deeply. As the Republican Party works to 
  adapt to the political changes initiated by Trump to truly become the profamily and pro-worker Party of the American middle class, Vance stands alone 
  as the most knowledgeable and capable politician to bring the Republican 
  Party—and the nation—into the post-Donald Trump world.
