    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    From the first content creator to interview President Biden, leading progressive voice Brian Tyler Cohen takes a step back from the day-to-day news cycle to explain how American politics has turned into such a dumpster fire—and what Democrats need to do to get us out of it. 
    In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior. 
    With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, drawing on interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Mehdi Hasan, Jen Psaki, and other luminaries of the Left, Cohen reveals: 
    How Republicans have leaned on their histor­ical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say;Why the mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant in this ongoing farce— particularly since the rise of toxic, sensational­ist MAGA mania; andWhat lessons Democrats can glean from a clear-eyed view of the landscape we’re operating in—and the steps we must take to rebalance our political landscape.During this all-hands-on-deck moment in our his­tory, Shameless is essential reading for those seeking to understand our dire situation, and a rallying cry for those fighting to preserve democracy.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Science has never been about compliance, but about query. Why is something the way that it is? Why does it behave a certain way? And if you understand the logic, how do you apply it to what you are actually trying to achieve? 
    Economics governs every business decision you make, from pricing strategy and market competition to supply chain costs, trade policy, and government regulation. And yet, it has gotten lost in terminology and theoretical constructs that obscure the simple rules beneath them. 
    Written for business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, managers, and consultants, this audiobook covers the economic foundations of smart decision making across ten focused chapters: demand and supply mechanics, market structure and competitive advantage, cost and profit maximization, business policy analysis, international trade and tariffs, and the impact of fiscal and regulatory policy on business growth. It presents an original Classification of Public Policy framework that helps business leaders identify exactly how any policy will affect their specific market, their costs, and their competitive position. 
    With 30 years in economics, 25 years in academia, and 15 years advising business leaders, Dr. Kruti Dholakia Lehenbauer presents the economic handbook every professional needs to make smarter decisions under uncertainty in the global and political economy. 
    "May the invisible hand guide you to visible profit, and beyond." — Dr. Kruti Lehenbauer

    Mikhail Khodorkovsky is one of the most astute observers of today's Russia. Imprisoned for a decade in Russia's prisons on politically motivated charges, he knows all too well the best and the worst of his country. He now lives in exile and, like many Russians who live abroad, he longs for the day when he can return to a free and democratic Russia. 
     
     
     
    This book is Khodorkovsky's account of what is happening in Russia today and what could happen in the future. Putin will not last forever: sooner or later, there will be a post-Putin era. But Russia's history has been deeply shaped by an autocratic trap: a revolution against an autocracy has produced another autocracy, followed by another revolution and another autocracy, and so on. If Russia is to find its place as a constructive partner in a global community of civilized nations, then it has to escape this vicious cycle. 
     
     
     
    How to Slay a Dragon is Khodorkovsky's account of his own journey and of how the vicious cycle of Russian history can be broken. He charts a pathway towards a parliamentary federal republic which would enable Russia to become a free and democratic society, living in peace and without dragons.
