A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Eine etwas andere Geschichte der deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen Vor fast 350 Jahren gründeten deutsche Aussiedler 'Germantown' in Pennsylvania, der Beginn der ebenso wechselhaften wie ereignisreichen Geschichte der Deutschen und den USA.

From a renowned legal scholar, a tour d'horizon of the Supreme Court's gradual erosion of constitutional rights and limitations on federal power. Ambitious and erudite, The Power Revolution is the magnum opus of one of our most incisive constitutional scholars. For decades, Philip Hamburger has been a shrewd analyst of mounting federal power-in particular, the growth in executive power enabled by a virtually unfettered administrative state. Here, he widens his lens, detailing the larger historical processes by which the Supreme Court has watered down individual rights while aggrandizing itself and the other federal branches. Hamburger locates the key sites of constitutional erosion. Of profound importance has been the Court's removal of limits on Congress's power to tax and spend, achieved by eliminating the requirement that such legislation benefit all citizens, as opposed to special interests. Meanwhile, adopting progressive arguments, the Court has nurtured runaway expansion of the "necessary and proper" clause, judging more and more actions permissible. Then too, the Court has repeatedly increased its authority to act through discretion, to the point of placing its own precedents above the Constitution. And there is that administrative state, empowered through the unconstitutional delegation of substantive powers and, today, serving as the unilateral arbiter of access to critical government grants and licensures. Hamburger shows how new interpretive methodologies have become dependable vehicles for these constitutional subversions. The Power Revolution calls for a revival of "natural law positivism," the eighteenth-century baseline in natural law from which deviation can be justified, Hamburger argues, only by consent of the people. That is a tall order, but it will take bold efforts to restore the Constitution the justices have denied us, one decision at a time.

En una carta a su madre en 1954, un joven Ernesto Guevara escribió: "Las Américas serán el teatro de mis aventuras de una manera mucho más significativa de lo que yo hubiera creído". En America Latina se&nbsp;narra la historia de esas aventuras, trazando la evolución del Che desde el joven e impresionable estudiante de medicina al "guerrillero heroico", asesinado a sangre fría en Bolivia. A lo largo de diecisiete años, esta antología se nutre de los archivos personales de su familia y ofrece lo mejor de los escritos del Che: ejemplos de su periodismo, ensayos, discursos, cartas e incluso poemas. A medida que el Che documenta sus primeros viajes por América Latina, su participación en las revoluciones guatemalteca y cubana, y su ascenso a la prominencia internacional bajo el mando de Fidel Castro, vemos cómo su ferviente compromiso con la justicia social moldeó y fue moldeado por el continente al que llamó hogar. Casi la mitad de este libro se publica por primera vez y es anterior a la llegada del Che a Cuba con la expedición guerrillera de Fidel Castro en 1956. También se incluyen sus notas para su libro inacabado, The Social Role of Doctors in Latin America.

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.
