Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here?

Ein Bullshit-Job ist eine Beschäftigungsform, die so völlig sinnlos, unnötig oder schädlich ist, dass selbst der Arbeitnehmer ihre Existenz nicht rechtfertigen kann. Es geht also gerade nicht um Jobs, die niemand machen will, sondern um solche, die eigentlich niemand braucht.

Unser Geldsystem ist zum Scheitern verurteilt! Noch haben Sie Zeit, Ihr Vermögen in Sicherheit zu bringen. Unser Wohlstand ist in Gefahr und Ihr Vermögen wird durch Inflation, Steuern und fragwürdige politische Entscheidungen angegriffen. Parallel scheint die Welt aus den Fugen geraten zu sein und wir sehen eine historische Akkumulation von immer mehr Krisen in einer immer komplexeren Welt in Gestalt von Rezession, Krieg, Deglobalisierung, geopolitischen Spannungen, künstlicher Intelligenz, tickenden demografischen Bomben, unfähiger Politik.

In Money and Promises, the distinguished financier, entrepreneur and historian Paolo Zannoni examines the fascinating, complex relationship between states and banks.

Many scholars assume that early American economists were committed to Adam Smith’s ideas of free trade and small government. Debunking this belief, Christopher W. Calvo provides a comprehensive history of the nation’s economic thought from 1790 to 1860, tracing the development of a uniquely American understanding of capitalism. The Emergence of Capitalism in Early America shows how American economists challenged, adjusted, and adopted the ideas of European thinkers such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Thomas Malthus to suit their particular interests.

Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?

Originally published online in early 2021, The Crypto Capitalist Manifesto provides an introductory framework that answers the question "Why crypto? Why Bitcoin? Why now?".

Jeftovic (CEO of Toronto-based easyDNS Technologies), Jeftovic makes the case that the tectonic shifts and discord we are experiencing today on a widespread basis stem primarily from a coming "monetary regime change".

One of the greatest challenges for the African American community is a severe lack of power. Like caged animals in the zoo, millions of black people in America and across the world often feel that our lives are controlled by other people or that opportunities only enter our lives when they are created by our oppressors. This debilitating mindset can lead to hopelessness, depression and decision-making that is driven by fear rather than desire. Instead of believing that we possess the ability to improve our lives, we simply wait and hope that White Americans will one day have a change of heart.

Our busy world is killing the art of communication—and in the B2B world, it’s even worse. We have faster, better, and cheaper ways to reach our target market, yet less than 60% of B2B salespeople hit their sales quota. Worse, the gnashing of teeth from CEOs and CFOs around the world can be heard after listening to marketing metrics that can’t be translated into business impact. The gap between buyer, seller, and marketer has become the business world’s Bermuda triangle of lost opportunities, lost profits, and lost growth.
