  Orwell's Ghosts - Wisdom and...

  For the seventy-fifth anniversary of 1984, Laura Beers explores George Orwell's still-radical ideas and why they are critical today. 
   
   
   
  George Orwell devoted his career to exposing social injustice and political duplicity, urging his readers to face hard truths about Western society and politics. Now, the uncanny parallels between the interwar era and our own—rising inequality, censorship, and challenges to traditional social hierarchies—make his writing even more of the moment. In Orwell's Ghosts, historian Laura Beers considers Orwell's full body of work—his six novels, three nonfiction works, as well as his brilliant essays—to examine what "Orwellian" means and to take it out of the hands of political pundits. She explores how Orwell's writing on free speech addresses the proliferation of "fake news," highlights his vivid critiques of capitalism, and, in contrast, analyzes his failure to understand feminism. Timely, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking, Orwell's Ghosts investigates how the writings of a lionized champion of truth and freedom can help us face the crises of modernity.

  Donald Trump and the Republican party misunderstand and miscalculate the conditions of the poor. Since poverty destroys everything that psychologically and physically makes a person whole, it induces impoverished individuals to commit crimes. President Donald Trump and the Republican party, have reduced food benefits for poor Americans, and want to cut social security benefits and health care for poor people while ignoring safe restrictions for our water and environment. The poor condition of people the world over should arouse the conscience of governments to pay more attention to the poor and homeless people of this great nation. This book is not to criticize or point fingers; however, it mainly corroborates the lives of people who are sadly ignored as many of us waste money on vices that poor Americans can use. Now that the United States Supreme Court has decided that homeless people can no sleep on the streets or in parks, it strains their resolve to live from day to day.
