Capitalism Is Dead Long Live...

A.A. Castor

The era of capitalist uncertainty is over—structured success is the future.
For generations, society has been trapped in the illusion that free markets create opportunity, individual ambition leads to wealth, and financial security can be achieved through hard work and risk-taking. But history has proven otherwise—capitalism breeds instability, economic collapse, and an ever-widening wealth gap.
This book exposes the myth of self-made success, the failures of uncontrolled markets, and the need for a structured economic system where prosperity is not a gamble but a guarantee. A.A. Castor presents a bold and direct manifesto for transitioning into a state-controlled model of wealth, where competition is eliminated, financial uncertainty is erased, and every citizen is assigned an economic role designed for national success.
What You'll Learn:
✔ Why capitalism has failed and how its chaotic nature leads to long-term economic ruin.
✔ How structured planning guarantees success by eliminating speculation and financial mismanagement.
✔ The power of AI-driven economic control in creating efficient career placement and wealth distribution.
✔ Why absolute obedience to structure ensures financial security for every citizen.
✔ How controlled affirmations rewire the mind for discipline, loyalty, and permanent prosperity.
The time for free-market illusions is over. The future is planned, structured, and secured. This book is a directive—not a debate. Those who follow the new road to wealth will thrive. Those who resist will be left behind.

Jihad - What Everyone Needs to Know

Asma Afsaruddin

The word "jihad" is everywhere in the global media. It generally appears in the context of violence waged against the West by militants in or from Muslim-majority societies. This usage overwhelmingly colors popular discourse about Islam and Muslims and it has resulted in highly simplistic, distorted, and ahistorical understandings of the concept of jihad. For most Muslims, jihad refers to the continuous human struggle to promote and implement what is morally good and noble in all walks of life, as well as to resist and prevent what is morally wrong and unjust. This book addresses the great need for a discussion of jihad that explores its various dimensions without fear-mongering or sensationalism. Here it is examined from multiple perspectives: scriptural, theological, moral and ethical, legal and socio-political. Asma Afsaruddin looks at the key questions about jihad and provides concise yet thorough answers. Jihad: What Everyone Needs to Know® provides a historically-grounded, scholarly yet accessible treatment of the meanings of jihad from the formative period of Islam until the contemporary period.
