  Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 - April 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from California and was the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His five years in the White House saw reduction of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and China, the first crewed Moon landings, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon's second term ended early, when he became the only US president to resign from office, as a result of the Watergate scandal.

  Women of Ancient China -...

  In ancient China, a woman’s place in society was shaped by a deep-rooted system of values that emphasized hierarchy, duty, and tradition. From birth, girls were taught the virtues of obedience, humility, and domestic responsibility—qualities believed to ensure familial harmony and uphold social order. These expectations were not merely cultural but were reinforced by state philosophy, especially Confucianism, which placed women within a strict patriarchal structure. 
  Confucian teachings emphasized a "Three Obediences" rule: a woman must obey her father before marriage, her husband during marriage, and her son in widowhood. This framework confined women largely to the private sphere and discouraged female independence. Even so, this ideology did not completely erase their influence. Women often wielded subtle but meaningful power within the home, guiding family affairs, managing finances, and raising the next generation in accordance with moral and cultural norms. 
  Women’s lives were further shaped by their class and family background. Elite women had access to education, poetry, and the arts, and they could sometimes play key roles in managing household affairs or even participating in court life. Their influence, though largely informal, could stretch far when navigating palace politics or securing power through marriage alliances. In contrast, women of lower classes worked alongside men in the fields, sold goods in markets, or labored in homes and workshops. These working women formed the backbone of the economy, though their contributions often went unrecorded in historical texts.

  The first and only comprehensive resource designed to empower everyday people with insider knowledge on moving money for a more equitable economy. 
   
   
   
  Financial activism is how everyday people radically reimagine money as a tool for widespread well-being, instead of a weapon of absurdly increasing inequality. It's how we—the underestimated—collectively resist systems that cause harm to people and the planet for the sake of profit, reclaim wealth that's been stolen, and redesign our relationships with capital and one another, in ways big and small. 
   
   
   
  The Financial Activist Playbook offers eight accessible, actionable, "choose-your-own-adventure" strategies for listeners to experiment with. Drawing on timely insider knowledge from the worlds of impact investing, social justice, and more, Rashid illuminates a treasure trove of stories: demonstrating how people power can flow big bucks out of extractive industries, and into the economy of care and abundance we deserve. 
   
   
   
  Laced with refreshing humor, empowering exercises, and a steadfast commitment to truth-telling, Rashid takes listeners on an energizing ride of financial possibility and practicality that will reverberate for generations to come.
