Beschreibung

"Pirate Code What" offers a fascinating exploration of the sophisticated governance systems that emerged during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730), revealing how these seafaring outlaws developed complex organizational structures that were surprisingly democratic and egalitarian.The book challenges common perceptions of pirates as mere criminals, instead presenting them as pioneers of workers' rights and democratic organization at sea. Through meticulous analysis of court records, ship logs, and surviving documents, the book examines three crucial aspects of pirate society: formal written articles, unwritten customs, and the evolution of these regulations over time.One of the most intriguing revelations is how pirate codes emerged as a direct response to the harsh conditions and arbitrary rule aboard merchant and naval vessels, establishing fair resource distribution and democratic decision-making processes that were centuries ahead of their time. The narrative progresses from the historical origins of pirate codes in buccaneer articles to specific examples from famous pirates like Bartholomew Roberts, before concluding with an analysis of their lasting influence on maritime law and organizational behavior.Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, the book connects these historical practices to modern concepts of workplace democracy and social equality, making it valuable for both academic researchers and general readers interested in maritime history. The comprehensive examination of primary sources and archaeological findings provides a well-rounded understanding of how these codes shaped both pirate society and subsequent maritime traditions.

    The Rebel Yell was a battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. The yell was hollered when soldiers were charging into battle, as a way to intimidate the enemy and to boost their own morale. There is some debate about how the Rebel Yell began. Confederate soldiers may have learned the yell from Native Americans, or simply imitated them. It is known that some Texas Confederate units combined Comanche war whoops into their version of the yell. Another claim is that it came from the screams traditionally made by Irish and Scottish Highlanders when they made a Highland charge during battle. According to Encyclopedia Virginia: "Distinctive noises made by soldiers were identified from the very beginning of the war, but the yell’s first appearance in combat may have come at the Battle of Manassas, on July 21, 1861, and it is strongly associated with the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson." Colonel Keller Anderson of Kentucky's Orphan Brigade said: "Then arose that do-or-die expression, that maniacal maelstrom of sound; that penetrating, rasping, shrieking, blood-curdling noise that could be heard for miles and whose volume reached the heavens--such an expression as never yet came from the throats of sane men, but from men whom the seething blast of an imaginary hell would not check while the sound lasted."

    This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
     
    This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
     
    -	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
    -	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
    -	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
    -	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
    -	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
    -	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
    -	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
     
    Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
