    The full-time job is disappearing—is landing the right gig the new American Dream? 
    One in three American workers is now a freelancer. This "gig economy"—one that provides neither the guarantee of steady hours nor benefits—emerged out of the digital era and has revolutionized the way we do business. High-profile tech start-ups such as Uber and Airbnb are constantly making headlines for the disruption they cause to the industries they overturn. But what are the effects of this disruption, from Wall Street down to Main Street? What challenges do employees and job-seekers face at every level of professional experience? 
    In the tradition of the great business narratives of our time, Gigged offers deeply-sourced, up-close-and-personal accounts of our new economy. From the computer programmer who chooses exactly which hours he works each week, to the Uber driver who starts a union, to the charity worker who believes freelance gigs might just transform a declining rural town, journalist Sarah Kessler follows a wide range of individuals from across the country to provide a nuanced look at how the gig economy is playing out in real-time. 
    Kessler wades through the hype and hyperbole to tackle the big questions: What does the future of work look like? Will the millennial generation do as well their parents? How can we all find meaningful, well-paid work?

    What is it that made Starbucks an overnight sensation and separated it from other coffee house companies? Why do many products with great product innovation, perfect locations, terrific customer experiences, even breakthrough advertising fail to get the same visceral traction in the marketplace as brands like Apple and Nike? Patrick Hanlon, senior advertising executive and founder of Thinktopia, decided to find the answers. His search revealed seven definable assets that together construct the belief system that lies behind every successful brand, whether it's a product, service, city, personality, social cause, or movement.In Primal Branding, Hanlon explores those seven components, known as the primal code, and shows how to use and combine them to create a community of believers in which the consumer develops a powerful emotional attachment to the brand. These techniques, work for everyone involved in creating and selling an image-from marketing managers to social advocates to business leaders seeking to increase customer preference for new or existing products. Primal Branding presents a world of new possibility for marketers of every stripe-and the opportunity to move from being just another product on the shelf to becoming a desired and necessary part of the culture.

    Fred, the patriarch and visionary behind the Koch brothers' legacy, blazed a trail in the oil industry. In 1925, his foresight led him to acquire a one-third stake in a Wichita engineering firm, a pivotal move that laid the foundation for the eventual behemoth, Koch Industries. From these modest beginnings, Fred's entrepreneurial spirit set the stage for a family saga marked by astounding success, familial discord, and a profound impact on the American political landscape. 
    The year 1933 witnessed the union of Fred and Mary Koch, marking the commencement of their familial odyssey. The arrival of their firstborn, Frederick, in 1934, was followed by the birth of Charles in 1935. The family's expansion continued in 1940 with the arrival of fraternal twins, David and Bill, completing the Koch family circle. These formative years were crucial in shaping the dynamics that would later shape the Koch brothers' relationships and individual trajectories. 
    Despite the burgeoning success of Fred's investments, he was steadfast in his resolve not to raise entitled children. Financial lessons were woven into their upbringing, with the children receiving only a modest allowance for completing household chores. Luxuries deemed unnecessary, such as television, were intentionally excluded from their lives. This deliberate approach aimed to instill in them a strong work ethic, rooted in humility, that would serve as the cornerstone of their future endeavors. 
    Fred's commitment to molding resilient individuals was further underscored by his emphasis on manual labor and impromptu history lessons at the family dinner table. Through these unconventional but impactful methods, he sought to impart a broader understanding of the world to his children, transcending the traditional bounds of formal education.
