  Capitalist Punishment - How Wall...

  Vivek Ramaswamy

  A Wall Street cartel has quietly seized control of the American economy, and they are forcing governments and businesses to bow down to their political agenda—using your money to do it. 
  Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn’t even theirs. These asset managers have accumulated all their power through “passive funds,” as most investors no longer believe anyone can reliably pick stocks. Yet the Big Three have decided that they can reliably pick the right social policies instead. 
  As entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy reveals, the results are all bad—and working their way into every corner of the economy. They force US companies to adopt “racial equity audits” and “emissions caps” while supporting human rights atrocities in China. They coerce Western companies to produce less oil while shifting production to dirtier places like Russia. They allow companies like FTX to take victory laps on good management while collapsing like a house of cards. They charge high fees to mom-and-pop investors for so-called sustainable funds that are effectively identical to lower-fee index funds. 
  Worst of all, they’re celebrated as heroes—at least so far. Capitalist Punishment lifts the veil on the largest fiduciary breaches, antitrust abuses, and First Amendment violations of the twenty-first century, misdeeds that are hiding in plain sight.  
  This isn’t just a threat to capitalism. It’s a threat to democratic self-governance itself. Capitalist Punishment is an easy-to-follow educational tour de force for every participant in financial markets—which, to the surprise of most Americans, includes nearly every single one of them.

  The Rise of Anarchism - From...

  Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates for a society without rulers, where individuals are free to govern themselves without the interference of centralized authority. It is a broad and diverse ideology that challenges traditional systems of power, particularly the state, while emphasizing voluntary cooperation and mutual aid among individuals. Anarchism is rooted in the belief that human beings are capable of organizing themselves in non-hierarchical, egalitarian structures, and that the imposition of authority and coercive institutions is both unjust and unnecessary. 
  At its core, anarchism rejects the concept of a state or any institution that wields power over others. Anarchists argue that the state is inherently oppressive and coercive, often serving the interests of the powerful rather than the people it is supposed to protect. The state's monopoly on violence, enforcement of laws, and control over resources are seen as mechanisms of domination that restrict human freedom and dignity. Instead of these top-down systems, anarchism envisions decentralized, voluntary forms of organization where individuals and communities govern themselves through direct democracy and mutual aid. 
  The philosophy of anarchism is built on a commitment to freedom, autonomy, and the abolition of all forms of hierarchy, including not only state power but also social, economic, and cultural hierarchies. Anarchists seek to dismantle systems of oppression such as capitalism, patriarchy, and racism, which they view as intertwined with state power. The idea of freedom in anarchism is not just the absence of external constraints, but the presence of opportunities for people to fully develop their potential and live in harmony with others.

  Undoubtedly, Napoleon, the French revolutionist and emperor, has left his mark on European history. His vast empire stretched all over the continent, his unique image and posture have been emulated by many, and his infamous defeat in Russia was a precursor of the defeat Hitler experienced for similar reasons. 
  When we take a time machine to the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, how can we better understand the culture and ideas of those times? How did someone from the relatively tiny island of Corsica become such an iconic figure in history? 
  In this comprehensive guide, we will take a look at some of the greatest achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as his virtues and vices, personal background, politics, exile, and death. You will gain a greater comprehension of his motives, the problems he faced, and how he solved said problems in his own way.
