  From the iconic stylist and fashion provocateur whose designs transformed culture—bringing the glitz of Studio 54 and the sophistication of Sex and the City to the mainstream—comes a playful yet intimate memoir of a life spent challenging conventions. 
   
  Carrie Bradshaw’s pairing of a tutu with a tank top is one of the most iconic outfits ever seen on television—and a look that turned avant-garde New York designer and stylist Patricia Field into a household name. But before she was crowned the fairy godmother of haute couture, Field was the owner of the longtime East Village emporium Pat Field, a haven for drag queens, club kids, starving artists, NYU freshmen, and creative visionaries alike. Presiding over downtown with her distinctive vermillion hair and a constantly lit cigarette, Patricia was a rock ’n’ roll den mother to everyone from Amanda Lepore to Lady Bunny to Patti Smith, with her store providing the city’s eccentrics with a place to discover a sense of family, home, and a rhinestone bedazzled bustier or two. 
  In Pat in the City, Patricia describes her journey from scrappy Queens kid peddling men’s pants to the fashion world’s most notorious renegade. As the daughter of immigrant parents, Field learned the principles of glamour from her entrepreneurial mother, and applied her NYU lessons on democracy to inform a fashion ethos that would reach millions. From her Studio 54 disco-glam styling to her award-winning work in The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City to today’s buzzy costuming in Emily in Paris, Field’s inimitable styling has pushed the envelope and created trends that have become the culture standard. Now in her seventies, Patricia Field is ready to tell her story—not to take a final bow, but to spread her credo of challenging convention and filling the world with joy and dancing.

  Value Price and Profit

  Karl Marx

  **Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a seminal work that distills the core principles of Marxist economic theory into a concise and accessible format. Originally delivered as a speech to the General Council of the First International in 1865, the text examines the dynamics of labor, wages, and profit within a capitalist system. Marx explains how the value of commodities is rooted in the labor required for their production, and he critiques the mechanisms by which capitalists extract surplus value from workers to generate profit. In doing so, he challenges the notion that raising wages alone can resolve systemic inequality, emphasizing the structural exploitation inherent in capitalism. This work serves as both an introduction to Marx's economic ideas and a call to action for addressing labor exploitation and economic injustice.
