Hollowed Out - Why the Economy...

David Madland

For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As Hollowed Out explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out. This new thinking has the potential to supplant trickle-down economics—the theory that was so wrong about inequality and our economy—and shape economic policymaking for generations. 
  
"The director of economic policy at the Center for American Progress argues that it is time to mount a political challenge to the economic theories—namely, supply-side, or trickle-down economics—that have provided cover for the unparalleled growth in inequality over the past three decades. … A dramatic and clearly delineated outline of 'how the stage has been set for transformative political conflict.'"—Kirkus

Fascism: What It Is And How To...

Leon Trotsky

Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was a Bolshevik revolutionary and Marxist theorist. He was one of the leaders of the Russian October Revolution, second only to Vladimir Lenin. During the early days of the Soviet Union, he served first as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and later as the founder and commander of the Red Army and People's Commissar of War. He was also among the first members of the Politburo. 
Why fascism was able to conquer only in those countries where social democratic or Stalinist parties blocked the workers and their allies from utilizing a revolutionary situation to remove the capitalists from power. There is a scientific analysis of fascism. It was made by the exiled Bolshevik revolutionary Leon Trotsky not as a postmortem, but during the rise of fascism. This was — along with his analysis of the nature of Stalinism — Trotsky's greatest contribution to Marxist theory. He began the task after Mussolini's victory in Italy in 1922 and brought itto ahigh pointin the years preceding Hitler'striumphin Germany in 1933.

Settling the Score -- Part 2:...

Josh Hunter

Obedience training for a bully…

Facts the Historians Leave Out -...

John S. Tilley

"Facts the Historians Leave Out" is a book that delves into lesser-known aspects and perspectives of American history, particularly focusing on the Confederate side of the Civil War. This work seeks to shed light on events, figures, and narratives that the author argues have been overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream historical accounts. The book is often regarded as offering a revisionist view, aiming to broaden readers' understanding of the Civil War by including stories and facts that are not commonly featured in traditional historical texts. Its approach to history is controversial, as it challenges established narratives and interpretations of the Civil War, leading to debates about historical accuracy, bias, and the role of historical narrative in shaping collective memory.
