Summary

In 'Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II', Henry George delves into the pressing issues of economic inequality, advocating for a single tax on land as a solution. His writing style is scholarly and persuasive, drawing on economic theory and social commentary to present a comprehensive argument. Published in 1879, this book was groundbreaking in its time, sparking debates on wealth distribution and political economy. George's work challenges conventional economic thinking and offers a fresh perspective on how to address poverty in society. His passionate prose and well-reasoned analysis make 'Progress and Poverty' a timeless classic in the field of economics. Henry George's background as a political economist and social reformer influenced his writing, driving him to explore alternative economic systems to achieve greater social justice. His dedication to understanding the root causes of poverty shines through in this seminal work, making it essential reading for anyone interested in economic and social reform. I highly recommend 'Progress and Poverty' to readers seeking a thought-provoking analysis of wealth inequality and its implications for society.

    Popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why attempts to implement affordable universal healthcare in the United States have been thwarted and what we can do to finally make it a reality.
    
    "For-profit health insurance is the largest con job ever perpetrated on the American people-one that has cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives since the 1940s," says Thom Hartmann. Taiwan's single-payer system enabled the country to implement a nationwide coronavirus test-and-contact-trace program without shutting down its economy, resulting in just seven deaths, while in the United States more than 350,000 have died.
    
    Hartmann offers a deep dive into the shameful history of American healthcare, showing how greed, racism, and oligarchic corruption led to the current "sickness for profit" system. Modern attempts to create some kind of government healthcare have been hobbled at every turn-including Obamacare, which Hartmann regards as basically a sellout to the health insurance industry.
    
    There is a simple solution: Medicare for all. Hartmann describes the extraordinary benefits it would provide the American people and economy and the steps we need to take to make it a reality. It is time for America to join every industrialized country in the world and make health a right, not a privilege.

    The Lord's Favor in the Flavor! 
    Ever felt guilty about how much you eat? Or what you eat? Or when you eat? Let this book dispel your guilt! 
    A former journalist and religion correspondent, the author describes his own recovery from an eating disorder and, using principles from the Bible and great thinkers, shows why diets and "low-fat" foods are a path to condemnation and doomed to fail. Instead, he lights the way to joy and freedom, a peaceful path to your healthy weight. 
    Meanwhile, he celebrates the infinite variety of "Grace", meaning the "unmerited favor of God", and shows how this simple idea transforms us, both at the individual level as well as globally. 
    This book requires nothing of you. There are no affirmations to recite, no boring exercises, no burdens of any kind. Rather, let it take you gently by the hand and set you free! 
    "A majestic flow of words." 
    Amy's Bookshelf Reviews 
    "Abdiel LeRoy shares that bliss of freedom of conscience in everything we do. He is one of our treasured spiritual guides—a man who cares deeply about setting us free from the unnecessary restrictions imposed on us, as well as those that are self-imposed! Read this book and breathe freedom. Highly Recommended."

    The US Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that law enforcement agencies have access to more than 100 million names stored in criminal history databases. In some cities, 80 percent of the black male population is registered in these databases. Digitize and Punish explores the long history of digital computing and criminal justice, revealing how big tech, computer scientists, university researchers, and state actors have digitized carceral governance over the past forty years—with devastating impact on poor communities of color.Providing a comprehensive study of the use of digital technology in American criminal justice, Brian Jefferson shows how the technology has expanded the wars on crime and drugs, enabling our current state of mass incarceration and further entrenching the nation's racialized policing and punishment. After examining how the criminal justice system conceptualized the benefits of computers to surveil criminalized populations, Jefferson focuses on New York City and Chicago to provide a grounded account of the deployment of digital computing in urban police departments.By highlighting the intersection of policing and punishment with big data and web technology, Digitize and Punish makes clear the extent to which digital technologies have transformed and intensified the nature of carceral power.
