  What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
  In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
  This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
  •	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
  •	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
  •	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
  Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.

  The motivating idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is radically simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But does this simple idea have the potential to radically transform our society? 
   
   
   
  This book provides the average citizen with all the information they need to understand current debates about the UBI. It recounts the history of the idea, from its origins in the writings of eighteenth century radical intellectuals to contemporary discussions centered on unemployment caused by technological advances such as artificial intelligence. It discusses current pilot programs in the United States and around the world, including how much (or little) we can learn from such experiments about how a large-scale UBI would fare in the real world. It explores both the promises and pitfalls of a UBI, taking seriously the arguments of both supporters and detractors. 
   
   
   
  How much would a UBI cost? Who would be eligible to receive it? Would it discourage work? Would people squander it on drugs and alcohol? Would it contribute to inflation? And how is it different from existing social welfare programs? This book provides an objective, expert guide to these questions and more, and is essential for anyone seeking to understand what could be the twenty-first century's most important public policy debate.

  Who Owns This Sentence? - A...

  Copyright is everywhere. Your smartphone incorporates thousands of items of intellectual property. Someone owns the reproduction rights to photographs of your dining table. At this very moment, battles are raging over copyright in the output of artificial intelligence programs. Not only books but wallpaper, computer programs, pop songs, cartoon characters, snapshots, and cuddly toys are now deemed to be intellectual properties—making copyright a labyrinthine construction of laws with colorful and often baffling rationales covering almost all products of human creativity. 
   
   
   
  It wasn't always so. Copyright has its roots in eighteenth-century London, where it was first established to limit printers' control of books. But a handful of little-noticed changes in the late twentieth century brought about a new enclosure of the cultural commons, concentrating ownership of immaterial goods in very few hands. Copyright's metastasis can't be understood without knowing its backstory, a long tangle of high ideals, low greed, opportunism, and word-mangling that allowed poems and novels (and now, even ringtones and databases) to be treated as if they were no different from farms and houses. Principled arguments against copyright arose from the start and nearly abolished it in the nineteenth century. Nonetheless, countless revisions have made copyright ever stronger.
