  Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? 
   
   
   
  Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.

  Falling Short - The Coming...

  The United States faces a serious retirement challenge. Many of today's workers will lack the resources to retire at traditional ages and maintain their standard of living in retirement. Solving the problem is a major challenge in today's environment in which risk and responsibility have shifted from government and employers to individuals. For this reason, Charles D. Ellis, Alicia H. Munnell, and Andrew D. Eschtruth have written this concise guide for anyone concerned about their own—and the nation's—retirement security. 
   
   
   
  Falling Short offers the necessary context for understanding the nature and size of the retirement income shortfall, which is caused by both increasing income needs—due to longer lifespans and rising health costs—and decreasing support from Social Security and employer-sponsored pension plans. 
   
   
   
  The solutions are to work longer and save more by building on the existing retirement system. To work longer, individuals should plan to stay in the labor force until age seventy if possible. To save more, policymakers should shore up Social Security's long-term finances; make all 401(k) plans fully automatic, with workers allowed to opt out; and ensure that everyone has access to a retirement savings plan. Individuals should also recognize that their house is a source of saving, which they can tap in retirement.

  POWER: How We Take It, Hold It, Lose It and Learn From It The Human Condition Quartet — Book Four 
  Back to Me gave you the voice. TRIBAL gave you the tribe. Beyond Belief gave you the faith. Now comes the force that governs all three. 
  Power is the fourth and final book in Quentin Drummond Anderson's acclaimed Human Condition Quartet — a landmark work of popular philosophy exploring the deepest patterns of what it means to be human. Having examined how we communicate, how we belong, and how we believe, Anderson turns at last to the hidden force that runs beneath all three. 
  Not the crude power of titles and org charts. Not the theatre of politics or the machinery of office. The real thing — the capacity to shape outcomes, the grammar of human relations that no one teaches and everyone uses, the current that runs through every marriage, every meeting, every revolution, and every act of kindness. 
  Anderson dismantles the comfortable fictions we hold about power: that it belongs to certain kinds of people, that we either have it or we don't, that wanting it is somehow suspect. He examines how power is taken, how it is given, how it corrupts, how it declines, and how it can be exercised with wisdom and purpose. 
  Drawing on Weber, Frankl, and French and Raven alongside military leadership, the economics of patronage, and the disruptions of the digital age, Power is both rigorous intellectual inquiry and profoundly practical guide. 
  "Power, examined honestly, is morally neutral in its nature and morally consequential in its exercise. It can serve or corrupt, build or destroy, liberate or imprison — depending entirely on the quality, the clarity, and the character of the person holding it."
