    This book deals with the following topics: 
    1 - Emiliano Zapata: Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
    2 - Mexican Revolution: The Mexican Revolution was a great revolution that included a series of army local battles instead of a single united struggle. It destroyed the Federal Force and changed it with an innovative army, changing Mexican civilization and governance at the same time It also culminated in the adoption of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' ideal visions. In spite of the fact that President Porfirio Daz's (from about 1880 to 1911) rule had grown progressively out of favor over the prior 31 years, there was no indicator that a transformation would break out in the year 1910.

From national debt and the borrowing practices of governments to the rising levels of consumer and corporate debt, each section will explore the different aspects of debt that contribute to this growing problem.

    Black Power and the American...

    In 1970, C. T. Vivian, a close colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a member of his executive staff, sat down to take stock of the civil rights movement and the progress it had made. His assessment was that it failed, and that the blame lay in the existence of myths about America. 
     
     
     
    As prophetic today as it was fifty years ago, Vivian's voice rings out as a critique and a call to action for a society in deep need of justice and peace. 
     
     
     
    The civil rights struggle that began when Rosa Parks, a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, decided to sit in the front of a bus has deeply altered American society and the American conscience. Yet from several perspectives, that movement has resulted in failure. The Black struggle for independence is more of an uphill climb than ever. Why? C. T. Vivian asserts that the civil rights movement failed because it was built on certain myths about America: 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that Americans will do what is right as soon as they know what is right. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that legislation leads to justice. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that America is an open society where any minority group can advance. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that an ethic of love forms the core of the American conscience.

    The astonishing story of America’s airwaves, the two friends—one a media mogul, the other a famous inventor—who made them available to us, and the government which figured out how to put a price on air. 
    This is the origin story of the airwaves—the foundational technology of the communications age—as told through the forty-year friendship of an entrepreneurial industrialist and a brilliant inventor. 
    David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and equal parts Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, and William Randolph Hearst, was the greatest supporter of his friend Edwin Armstrong, developer of the first amplifier, the modern radio transmitter, and FM radio. Sarnoff was convinced that Armstrong’s inventions had the power to change the way societies communicated with each other forever. He would become a visionary captain of the media industry, even predicting the advent of the Internet. 
    In the mid-1930s, however, when Armstrong suspected Sarnoff of orchestrating a cadre of government officials to seize control of the FM airwaves, he committed suicide. Sarnoff had a very different view of who his friend’s enemies were. 
    Many corrupt politicians and corporations saw in Armstrong’s inventions the opportunity to commodify our most ubiquitous natural resource—the air. This early alliance between high tech and business set the precedent for countless legal and industrial battles over broadband and licensing bandwidth, many of which continue to influence policy and debate today.

    The Persian Famine of 1869-1871 stands as one of the most devastating human catastrophes in the history of 19th-century Persia. It was a tragedy of massive proportions, affecting a significant portion of the population, leading to widespread death, displacement, and suffering. The famine took place during a period of political and economic instability in Persia, under the rule of the Qajar dynasty, and its consequences would resonate throughout the region for years to come. 
    The immediate causes of the famine were a combination of natural disasters, economic mismanagement, and poor governance. A severe drought struck the region in the early years of the famine, leading to crop failures across vast areas of Persia. Wheat and barley, which formed the staple diet of the population, were decimated, leaving millions without their primary source of food. This was further compounded by the devastation of locust swarms that wiped out whatever little remained of the crops. The government’s inability to respond effectively to these crises exacerbated the situation, as there was no coordinated effort to distribute food or provide relief to the suffering population. 
    The geography of Persia also played a significant role in the scale of the famine. With its vast arid regions and limited irrigation infrastructure, Persia was highly vulnerable to fluctuations in climate and weather. The droughts, combined with an inefficient agricultural system, led to widespread food shortages, particularly in the rural areas where most of the population lived. In the cities, food prices soared, making it even more difficult for the poor to survive. As the crisis deepened, people were forced to resort to extreme measures for survival, including selling their children into slavery or fleeing to other regions in search of food.
