  "On Liberty" is a political philosophy book written by British philosopher John Stuart Mill, first published in 1859. The book is one of the most influential works in the history of liberalism, and argues for the importance of individual liberty and freedom of thought and expression. 
  Mill argues that individuals should be free to think, speak, and act as they wish, as long as their actions do not harm others. He believes that free speech and the exchange of ideas are essential for the progress of society, and that government interference in these matters is harmful and unnecessary. 
  In "On Liberty", Mill also discusses the limits of individual freedom, arguing that individuals should be prevented from harming others or infringing upon their rights. He also recognizes the importance of social cohesion and collective action in certain situations, but maintains that these should be voluntary and not imposed by the government. 
  Overall, "On Liberty" is a powerful defense of individual liberty and a critique of the tendency of governments to interfere in the lives of their citizens. The book continues to be widely read and studied, and remains an important work in the field of political philosophy.

  “[D]isturbing and unforgettable memoir…This wrenching story brings to vivid life the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.” – Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW 
  “[The] haunting and eloquent…narrative of a Guatemalan woman's desperate search for a better life."" -Kirkus, STARRED Review 
   
  Compelling and urgently important, The Book of Rosy is the unforgettable story of one brave mother and her fight to save her family.  
  When Rosayra “Rosy” Pablo Cruz made the agonizing decision to seek asylum in the United States with two of her children, she knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and quite possibly deadly. But she had no choice: violence—from gangs, from crime, from spiraling chaos—was making daily life hell. Rosy knew her family’s one chance at survival was to flee Guatemala and go north. 
  After a brutal journey that left them dehydrated, exhausted, and nearly starved, Rosy and her two little boys arrived at the Arizona border. Almost immediately they were seized and forcibly separated by government officials under the Department of Homeland Security’s new “zero tolerance” policy. To her horror Rosy discovered that her flight to safety had only just begun. 
  In The Book of Rosy, with an unprecedented level of sharp detail and soulful intimacy, Rosy tells her story, aided by Julie Schwietert Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, the grassroots organization that reunites mothers and children. She reveals the cruelty of the detention facilities, the excruciating pain of feeling her children ripped from her arms, the abiding faith that staved off despair—and the enduring friendship with Julie, which helped her navigate the darkness and the bottomless Orwellian bureaucracy. 
  A gripping account of the human cost of inhumane policies, The Book of Rosy is also a paean to the unbreakable will of people united by true love, a sense of justice, and hope for a better future. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Formation of the Federal Reserve...

  Debates over paper money and banking are older than the United States of America itself. 18th and 19th century Americans were deeply ambivalent about paper money and central banks, and political fights over these issues were among the bitterest in American history. In fact, controversies over the country’s central bank birthed both the first (1792-1824) and second (1828-1852) party systems; frequently, policymakers crafted responses to the crisis at hand, and as a result they implemented policies that were inadequate to the challenges the country faced in the future.  
  Indeed, the early administrations' ambivalence toward central banking and paper money, combined with the ad hoc nature of policymakers’ responses, caused severe problems. These issues came to a head during the Panic of 1907, which provoked a major reassessment of America’s banking system. Progressive Era reformers like President Woodrow Wilson walked a tightrope, balancing fears of centralized wealth with the undeniable need for a rational mechanism to help govern the country’s economy. The system they created represented half a loaf, its many compromises and weaknesses corrected by the response to two other crises: the Great Depression and the Cold War. The Federal Reserve System that has existed since the Accord of 1951 has cooled the passionate conflict over central banking and rendered obsolete many of the monetary questions that so animated Americans in previous centuries.
