Story0
In 1890s America Thorstein Veblen attacked a careless acceptance of prevailing social structures, identifying ancient roots for ‘pecuniary culture’ and ‘conspicuous consumption’–realities that promoted materialism and squashed fulfilment. In The Theory of the Leisure Class the worthy Engineer, creating essential products for all, is pitted against the predatory Businessman, exempt from grubby industrial toil and focussed on useless profits.

Story0
Elite networks are informal social networks between politicians in power and top executives of politically connected firms where personal ties and long-term interactions build trust and loyalty between involved actors. Both groups draw benefits from these interactions; politicians stay in power, and corporate executives extract rents for their firms. Firms reward connected executives with higher salaries thus widening the dispersion of earnings in society. In Elite Networks, Vuk Vukovic offers a different perspective on the long-run origins of inequality.

In The Psychology of Victimhood, Kevin L. Whitworth delivers a bold cultural diagnosis of how grievance, resentment, and envy have been transformed into moral currency in the modern age. Drawing from psychology, economics, media dynamics, and real-world examples, this audiobook reveals how victimhood has evolved from a condition to overcome into an identity to protect—and even monetize.

Across America’s backroads, fields once plowed by calloused hands stand overgrown. Fence posts lean where generations once braced against the wind. Homesteads that echoed with cattle, hymns, and supper-time laughter now sit quiet beneath blinking red towers of green-energy deals, foreign investors, and promises that never came true.

Story0
To end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and facts. For over a century, the primary Christian ministry model for the unhoused in North America has been gospel rescue missions that offer shelter and food but prioritize evangelism over proven solutions. This approach often perpetuates homelessness rather than ending it.

Mãe, preta, reincidente põe em cena a violência contra a população periférica brasileira a partir de um invejável manejo cênico. É dessa maneira que a obra se constrói através de camadas múltiplas: a violência dos fatos é construída a partir da violência presente nas palavras, nas marcações teatrais e nas rubricas.
