Freakonomics Twentieth...

Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner

**Narrated by Stephen J. Dubner**

The legendary bestseller that made millions look at the world in a radically different way returns in a beautiful 20th anniversary edition featuring a new foreword
Which is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common?
These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.
Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and—if the right questions are asked—is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.
This 20th anniversary edition of the book includes a gorgeous new cover design and a new foreword by Stephen Dubner, reflecting on the unexpected impact Freakonomics has had on the world over the last two decades, as well as the New York Times Magazine profile Dubner wrote about Levitt that started it all.

What Is Critical Theory? - A...

Bradley G. Green

An In-Depth Look at the History and Philosophy of Critical Theory from a Gospel Perspective
Critical theory was born over a century ago. Created to foster social transformation, this emerging theory would soon influence universities, politics, and pop culture across the globe and spark tense debates between groups across the sociopolitical spectrum. But what exactly lies at the heart of critical theory, and how should Christians engage with this controversial perspective? To answer these questions, we must examine the history, philosophy, and ideas of the thinkers who shaped its development. 
This book offers a balanced and thoughtful analysis of the core principles and implications of critical theory, as well as the published works of its key philosophers and their views concerning biblical themes, including creation and reality; sin and the human dilemma; and redemption, history, and eschatology. Through his concise Christian perspective, Bradley G. Green helps readers articulate what critical theory is—a view of human nature in opposition to the gospel narrative.

-  Analytical: Uses a dispassionate tone to examine the history and key components of critical theory 
-  Examines Critical Theory's Major Thinkers: Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno
-  Christian Perspective: Examines topics including creation and reality; sin and the human dilemma; and redemption, history, and eschatology
-  Thoughtful: Perfect for Christian college students, pastors, and readers interested in other works on critical theory

How To Get Out Of Work - "A...

Alexander Oakes

Nothing is really real, even if it is. 
Everything we do is self-serving, even nice/kind things. 
There is no objective right or wrong and anyone telling you otherwise is either a fool or lying.  
All communications at their core are manipulations, and therefore, every time we communicate with another person, verbal or non-verbal, we are manipulating them. 
Oh yeah, and life is fucked. 
If you want to know more read the Goddamn book.
