From the former New York Times technology reporter, "an enlightening breakdown of how Silicon Valley billionaires have shifted the popular discourse in their favor" (Kirkus)--with a new introduction and fully updated chapters Hailed as "a valuable addition" and a "Top Tech Book" by Wired.com, The Know-It-Alls offers a prescient chronicle of the rise of Silicon Valley as a political and intellectual force. Showcasing this new class of super geeks, former New York Times technology reporter Noam Cohen sketches "finely researched portraits" (Nature) of the smart guys, including Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg, who fell in love with a radically individualistic, anti-government ideal--and then mainstreamed it. Now, in this completely revised and updated edition, published one year after DOGE came to town, Cohen shows how the know-it-alls came to Washington, providing a richly documented account of how their influence has metastasized, their wealth has exploded, and their technologies have frayed America's social and political fabric. The know-it-alls claim that they support Trump because the Democrats abandoned them; Cohen reveals that Trump gave them the political opening they'd been waiting for, all along. From the decisive influence of the pandemic, to the emergence of Elon Musk as a national political force, and the appearance of new characters and technologies, Cohen's "unabashed critique" (Library Journal) is the essential guide to the real power players on today's political scene.

The Rise of Silicon Valley as a Political Powerhouse and Social Wrecking Ball

The Know-It-Alls

When Spella's aunt Cauldroneyes mysteriously disappears into a growling hat the night before she is set to attend Dragon's Knob, a prestigious school for wand magic, Spella and her new friend Tolden set out to rescue her aunt and uncover hidden secrets within the school amidst threats to its academic freedom.

A Sky Full of Dragons

Former CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc. Andrew F. Puzder exposes how the secretive consolidation of financial power under the guise of "ESG" represents a new collectivist threat to the free market. Over the last thirty-five years, asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in virtually every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us.An asset manager's traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through "stakeholder capitalism," the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the company--which translates to everyone in the community. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefitting an amorphous group of non-investors--a group that has no say over whether ESG goals actually "benefit" them.This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheep's clothing. "ESG" defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are suddenly rebranding--shifting their terminology to conceal their intent.A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims exposes how, although they may abandon the acronym "ESG," these elites have pursued--and will continue to pursue--their ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.

The Ugly Truth about Stakeholder Capitalism

A Tyranny for the Good of Its Victims

Has capitalism always partnered with race? This book examines how capitalism operates through racialised structures across different moments in global history. Moving beyond conventional class-based analyses, the book deepens our understanding of capitalism's effects by exploring how race has been used to value, control and exploit populations. From slavery and colonial dispossession to global divisions of labour, sex tourism and consumerism, Prasad offers a vital critique of how capitalism not only damages those it devalues but also shapes the way we all live--and the condition of the planet itself.

The Law of Railroad Fences and Private Crossings: Including Injuries to Animals On Right of Way Caused by Negligence

What element is found in all known forms of life? Carbon! Scientists call carbon the chemical backbone of life on Earth. That's because without carbon, there'd be no humans, animals, plants, microbes, or any other kind of life. In The Carbon Cycle: Track the Path of Life's Essential Element, young scientists explore how the first life forms that evolved on our planet consumed carbon and now, 4 billion years later, carbon is still the building block of all known forms of life. Carbon regulates the planet's temperature, serves as the foundation of our food web, and provides the energy that fuels the global economy. Carbon is stored in rocks, sediment, the ocean, the atmosphere--and in every living thing, including people. Carbon rotates through these reservoirs in what we call the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle relies on balance, but as we continue to burn fossil fuels, more of the carbon stored in rock gets released into the atmosphere, upsetting the careful balance that keeps our climate healthy and habitable. Learn all about the carbon cycle and the human influence on that cycle through a compelling narrative, links to online resources, essential questions, text-to-world observations, hands-on STEM activities, and graphic-novel style illustrations and photographs. Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile and align with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. All titles are available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.

Fifteen circular Bitcoin economies in South Africa. Zero in Sweden.This book is an attempt to understand why.In the townships outside Mossel Bay, children pay for snacks with Lightning. A man in a shack has his first savings ever - twenty-five dollars in Bitcoin. In wealthy coastal towns, entrepreneurs onboard shops one by one, throwing Bitcoin barbecues to spread the word. And in Orania, a small Afrikaner community has been running its own parallel currency for over thirty years - without Bitcoin.Parallel Order is a field report from the front lines of monetary freedom. Swedish author and documentary filmmaker Jonas Nilsson spent months in South Africa documenting what happens when people opt out of failing systems and build their own.What you'll find inside: The surf instructor who orange-pills his neighbors. The township where thirty-one shops accept Bitcoin. The coastal village with the highest Bitcoin adoption per capita in the world. The community that built its own bank when the national one stopped showing up. And the question that connects them all: what kind of freedom is possible when you no longer need permission to participate in the economy?This is a book about getting free.Parallel Order is the companion book to the documentary Bitcoin Rising - South Africa's Path to Freedom.

Bitcoin and the Rise of Voluntary Systems

Parallel Order

Working Premise This book explores a simple but powerful question: What happens when a person, business, town, or nation owns real value - land, tools, skills, inventory, knowledge, relationships, labor, machines, food, ideas - but has little or no spendable cash? That condition is called illiquidity. It does not always mean poverty. It means the value is locked up. A farmer with land but no diesel money is not worthless. A mechanic with tools but no customers is not useless. A company with patents but no payroll cash is not dead. A nation with food, factories, energy, and workers is not poor merely because its currency is confused. Adam Smith's useful insight was that real wealth comes from the annual labor, goods, and services a nation produces, not merely from piles of gold or paper money. He wrote that labor supplies the "necessaries and conveniences of life" a nation consumes. Or in plain English: Money is the scoreboard. Production is the game. &gt;

Common sense says that capitalism is not a human invention. Rather, its a natural law woven into the fabric of life?In a world increasingly divided over economics, politics, and freedom itself, Nature's Capitalism offers a bold new perspective. Drawing from biology, history, philosophy, and personal experience, Eugene L. Bryan observes that every living thing survives through a Nature-based imperative: profit or perish.From the smallest plant to the most complex society, life depends on gaining more than it expends in energy, effort, and resources, Bryan explores how love of life, freedom, and freewill exchanges have fueled humanity's great advances in peace and prosperity. For humans, Nature's capitalism is rooted in its incentives, win-win rewards, and our pursuits of happiness.Blending philosophical insight with practical observations of civilization, economics, and human nature, Nature's Capitalism challenges readers to rethink common assumptions about wealth, inequality, free markets, and social destinies.

Nature's Capitalism

Are you tired of the empty promises surrounding online income? In a digital landscape saturated with claims of "free money" and effortless wealth, many aspiring online earners find themselves trapped in a cycle of disappointment and minimal returns. The truth is, the vast majority of online income ventures fail, not due to a lack of opportunity, but because they are approached with a hobbyist's mindset rather than a strategic business framework. "Decoding Online Earnings: Beyond The Free Money Myth" cuts through the hype to reveal the fundamental economic principles governing legitimate online income generation. This essential guide challenges the pervasive myth that online earnings are simply "extra cash" or a "side hustle" requiring no serious planning. Drawing a stark parallel to the 80% failure rate of traditional businesses, the book argues that treating online income as anything less than a micro-business is a recipe for predictable failure. It exposes how marketing campaigns often strip away operational realities, presenting only aspirational outcomes and preying on the desire for shortcuts and passive income without active contribution. The internet's perceived anonymity and low barriers to entry amplify these psychological traps, leading individuals to bypass critical due diligence and engage with opaque platforms, often at significant personal and financial risk. "Decoding Online Earnings" reframes your approach, transforming it from a hopeful endeavor into a structured, sustainable operation. It emphasizes that every online transaction involves an exchange of value-your time, your data, your attention, your skills-all commodities that possess inherent worth. Ignoring this fundamental axiom leaves you vulnerable to scams, low-paying opportunities, and wasted effort. The book provides a clear, actionable framework for success, moving beyond the allure of "quick cash" to help you build genuine financial growth. Inside, you will discover how to: - Deconstruct the myth of "free money" and understand the true value exchange in online operations. - Apply strategic business principles, including market research and risk assessment, to your online income pursuits. - Develop a lean business plan to define your product/service, set income targets, and track performance. - Navigate the complexities of platforms like survey panels, maximizing legitimate earnings while mitigating risks like data harvesting and scams. - Diversify your online activities to move beyond supplemental income towards significant financial growth. &gt;Stop chasing illusions and start building a credible, profitable online income stream. "Decoding Online Earnings" equips you with the mindset and tools to transform your online efforts into a legitimate, thriving micro-business, ensuring you operate with clarity, strategy, and confidence in the digital economy.
