    A groundbreaking look at the hidden role of bankruptcy in perpetuating inequality in America 
     
     
     
    Bankruptcy is the busiest federal court in America. In theory, bankruptcy in America exists to cancel or restructure debts for people and companies that have way too many—a safety valve designed to provide a mechanism for restarting lives and businesses when things go wrong financially. 
     
     
     
    Legal scholar Melissa B. Jacoby shows how bankruptcy has also become an escape hatch for powerful individuals, corporations, and governments, contributing in unseen and poorly understood ways to race, gender, and class inequality in America. When cities go bankrupt, police unions enjoy added leverage while police brutality victims are denied a seat at the negotiating table; the system is more forgiving of civil rights abuses than of the parking tickets disproportionately distributed in African American neighborhoods. Unjust Debts reveals the hidden mechanisms by which bankruptcy impacts everything from sexual harassment to health care, police violence to employment discrimination, and the opioid crisis to gun violence.

    The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, Dao De Jing, or Daode jing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

    Man's search for meaning : An Introduction to Logotherapy 
    “One of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years.” —Dr. Carl Rogers, psychologist and founder of Rogerian therapy. 
    “Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is one of the great books of our time. Typically, if a book has one passage, one idea with the power to change a person’s life, that alone justifies reading it, rereading it, and finding room for it on one’s shelves. This book has several such passages.” —Harold S. Kushner, author and rabbi emeritus at Temple Israel. 
    Viktor Frankl's account of his battle for survival at Auschwitz and other concentration camps is included in Man's Search for Meaning, one of the great masterpieces to come out of the Holocaust. 
    Generations of readers have been captivated by this book because of its depictions of life in Nazi death camps and its spiritual survival teachings. 
    Frankl contends that although we cannot escape pain, we can decide how to manage it, find meaning in it, and go on with a new sense of purpose based on his personal experience and the testimonies of his patients. The belief that the pursuit of what we find significant, rather than pleasure, is the fundamental human motivation is at the core of his philosophy, which is known as logotherapy. 
    One of the most important books in the Universe today is Man's Search for Meaning, which never stops encouraging us to discover meaning in life itself.
