Sinopsis

"Gilded Age" explores the tumultuous period in American history following the Civil War, a time of rapid industrialization and unprecedented wealth inequality. The book examines how the United States transformed into an economic powerhouse, grappling with immense social and political challenges. It highlights the explosion of industrial capitalism, which, while driving economic growth, also created a vast chasm between the wealthy industrialists and the working class.

 
One intriguing aspect is the era's pervasive political corruption, fueled by corporate influence, that undermined democratic principles. The book argues that the unchecked pursuit of wealth during this period created a system ripe for exploitation and corruption.

 
Beginning with an examination of key industries like railroads and oil, it then analyzes the social consequences, from the rise of labor movements to the plight of immigrants. The final section investigates the political corruption that characterized the era, offering contemporary lessons and reflecting on the lasting impact of the Gilded Age on American society. This approach provides a critical perspective on a formative period in American history, shedding light on the origins of many enduring challenges.

Strip Tees - A Memoir of...

Kate Flannery

This program is read by the author.“Compelling and brave, Kate’s story is a must read for all young women learning how to navigate adulthood and identity.” —Lili Reinhart, New York Times bestselling authorStrip Tees is a fever dream of a memoir—Hunter S. Thompson meets Gloria Steinem—about a recent college graduate and what happens when her feminist ideals meet the real world.At the turn of the new millennium, LA is the place to be. “Hipster” is a new word on the scene. Lauren Conrad is living her Cinderella story in the “Hills” on millions of television sets across the country. Paris Hilton tells us “That’s hot” from behind the biggest sunglasses imaginable, while beautiful teenagers fight and fall in love on The O.C.Into this most glittering of supposed utopias, Kate Flannery arrives with a Seven Sisters diploma in hand and a new job at an upstart clothing company called American Apparel. Kate throws herself into the work, determined to climb the corporate fashion ladder. Having a job at American Apparel also means being a part of the advertising campaigns themselves, stripping down in the name of feminism. She slowly begins to lose herself in a landscape of rowdy sex-positivity, racy photo shoots, and a cultlike devotion to the unorthodox CEO and founder of the brand. The line between sexual liberation and exploitation quickly grows hazy, leading Kate to question the company’s ethics and wrestle with her own. Strip Tees captures a moment in our recent past that’s already sepia-toned in nostalgia, and also paints a timeless portrait of a young woman who must choose between what business demands and self-respect requires.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Turning the Giant - Disrupting...

John Berra

John Berra is no stranger to turning giants. As someone who spent over three decades in the automation community, Berra knows what it’s like to confront major obstacles and leverage then to his advantage. For example, in the mid-1990s, Berra was faced with a unique challenge. The automation industry was at a crossroads, and as President of Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Berra could have played it safe and maintained business as usual. But doing so would have ensured companies like Honeywell would have gained the upper hand. Instead, Berra focused on developing a revolutionary operating system named DeltaV. And in doing so, he led Fisher-Rosemount Systems to disrupt an entire industry. Moves like this set Berra apart from his competitors. On one hand, Berra is one of the most intelligent innovators of his era and there is a reason Intech Magazine named him one of the fifty most influential industry innovators ever. That said, Berra was also incredibly practical and willing to take his share of calculated risks. Because Berra believed is disruptive innovation, he was able to turn giants others were not willing to touch.

Tithing is for Today -...

Peter Collins Obeng

Discover the Truth on Tithing the way the New Testament teaches it. 
The vital truth is that a countless number of Christians tithe, but are not convinced about the practice. They just follow the tradition of the church without a sound biblical understanding of the subject of tithing. 
Christendom, at large, is divided on tithing. 
There is a section of Christians who sincerely believe tithing is too legalistic and must be limited to the dispensation of the Law, while others believe that the practice is still relevant, and through tithing, they can be part of what God is doing in the world today. 
The main reason for these sentiments is that, in most of our teachings on tithing, we hardly touch on the Melchizedek order which serves as a guide to the practice — and whereby faith, we consecrate our tithes to Christ — the Great and true Melchizedek, as an act of worship. We rather explain the practice and persuade Christians to tithe, using Scriptures that are relative only to the system of tithing under the Law. This creates confusion, misunderstanding and apathy on the part of some Christians who believe that they are not under the Law but grace. 
In Tithing Is for Today, Peter Collins Obeng shares insights from the Word of God that bring understanding and clarity for God's people to discover the truth on tithing — the way the New Testament teaches it.
