  The Care Divide by Dr. Christopher Voss reveals how healthcare systems shape lives, opportunity, and dignity. 
  Through two vivid stories—Ava, growing up in America’s fragmented system, and Zoe, raised with universal coverage—Dr. Voss shows the stark contrast between fear and freedom. Ava’s life is defined by delayed treatments, surprise bills, and chronic conditions that derail her future. Zoe’s is marked by seamless care, early support, and the freedom to pursue her dreams without fear of losing coverage. 
  Blending human stories with meticulous research, The Care Divide exposes the costs of America’s system: physicians burned out by bureaucracy, families bankrupted by illness, and entrepreneurs trapped in jobs for insurance. In contrast, universal systems worldwide deliver healthier outcomes, stronger communities, and security across generations. 
  More than a policy critique, this book is a call to action. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Voss urges us to envision a future where no one must choose between health and financial security. 
  The Care Divide is essential reading for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and citizens who believe care is a human right. It will open your eyes, stir your heart, and inspire you to join the movement for a system that leaves no one behind.

  Royel M. Johnson and Shaun R. Harper's book, The Big Lie About Race in America's Schools, delivers a collective response to the challenge of racially charged misinformation, disinformation, and censorship that increasingly permeates and weakens not only US education but also our democracy. Royel Johnson and Shaun Harper bring together leading education scholars and educators to confront the weaponized distortions that are undermining both public education and racial justice. The experts gathered in this work offer strategies to counter these dangerous trends.The contributors examine efforts both broad and specific, from restrictive education legislation, to book bans, to twisting terminology like Critical Race Theory (CRT) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), that are obscuring truth in public education. They demonstrate how this narrowing of ideas does a disservice to all students and especially to those who are underrepresented in curricula.Ultimately, the book offers clear, actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and advocates who seek solutions that will counter recent trends and transform educational contexts within K–12 and higher education. This volume advocates strengthening educational alliances through shared leadership, organized collaboration, and parental involvement. It also presents innovative countermeasures to help defend public education.

  The Power to Destroy - How the...

  Michael J. Graetz

  The postwar United States enjoyed large, widely distributed economic rewards—and most Americans accepted that taxes were a reasonable price to pay for living in a society of shared prosperity. Then in 1978 California enacted Proposition 13, a property tax cap that Ronald Reagan hailed as a "second American Revolution," setting off an antitax, antigovernment wave that has transformed American politics and economic policy. In The Power to Destroy, Michael Graetz tells the story of the antitax movement and how it holds America hostage—undermining the nation's ability to meet basic needs and fix critical problems. 
   
   
   
  In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that the power to tax entails "the power to destroy." But The Power to Destroy argues that tax opponents now wield this destructive power. Attacking the IRS, protecting tax loopholes, and pushing tax cuts from Reagan to Donald Trump, the antitax movement is threatening the nation's social safety net, increasing inequality, ballooning the national debt, and sapping America's financial strength. The book chronicles how the movement originated as a fringe enterprise promoted by zealous outsiders using false economic claims and thinly veiled racist rhetoric, and how—abetted by conservative media and Grover Norquist's "taxpayer protection pledge"—it evolved into a mainstream political force.
