    In order to be inspired and to keep going, you can read endless books, watch motivational videos, listen to the coolest podcasts, attend amazing events, and surround yourself with super motivated people, but very often it's not the amount of time you spend doing all those things that keeps you motivated and fascinated; it's the unique moments or a single sentence you remember from a whole weekend seminar or a quote you have heard that somehow resonated with you and now has become a part of your life.

    Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? 
     
     
     
    Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.

    Relationships built on trust matter. 
     
     
     
    Deep and meaningful interpersonal connections at work are critical to your career—and to your well-being. Bonds built on trust allow women to help one another, exchange information, and be more productive. But high-quality professional relationships are only possible with emotional openness—and not all women feel they can be vulnerable enough in the office to develop these kinds of ties. 
     
     
     
    Making Real Connections explores the many ways that our working relationships with other women are usually amazing—and sometimes messy. This book will inspire you to: find more authentic ways to grow your network; seek out a sponsor—or become one; get the most out of professional conferences; enjoy the rewards of having real friends at work; navigate problems when work relationships become draining; and connect in ways that are more natural, less transactional.
