  Whale Hunting - How to Land Big...

  For centuries, the Inuit people of Alaska and Canada have thrived  in some of the harshest lands on Earth. In the long Arctic winters  that last from October to May, food is scarce and survival is a  struggle. Nothing grows on the icy land and the Inuit are forced to  rely upon the animals of the land and sea to provide their  sustenance. They hunt the caribou that roam across the tundra; they  hunt the seals and walrus that swim along the shore; they fish in  freezing, rough seas; and, every year, the Inuit hunt the most  treacherous but prized prey of all, the whales that live in the  deep ocean.   Just like the Inuit, when businesses reach a certain stage of  growth, they face a choice between making many small, safe sales  and concentrating on a small number of big accounts that are hard  to find, hard to land and that involve greater risk. The dynamic is  the same as when the Inuit make the conscious decision to defer  easy hunts for seal and caribou and set out to sea in their umiaks  to find whales. Selling to large accounts is the key to generating  significant growth in sale and revenues. In business, as in the  Arctic, it pays to become a whale hunter.

  How Wealth Rules the World -...

  Ben Price reveals that our Constitution and legal system were intentionally designed to give more rights to the wealthy propertied class than the rest of us and exposes how this hamstrings our ability to effectively address a host of pressing social and environmental problems—and what we can do about it.  
   
  Many of today's most serious issues—homelessness, gun violence, fracking, prison privatization, predatory lending, and many more—resist resolution because the “rights of property” undermine the rights of people. Issues that undeniably affect whole communities are determined by the courts to relate primarily to property, contracts, and corporations and are removed from the public sphere and immunized from public governance.  
   
  There's a reason for this. Ben Price tells the story of how the Federalists—the more conservative faction of the Founding Fathers—secretly drafted the Constitution as a counterrevolutionary document. It restored to the colonial 1 percent privileges overturned by the revolution, avoiding a popular backlash by bestowing rights on wealth itself, rather than creating a British-style personal aristocracy. These rights of property deprive the majority of their ability to self-govern and weaponize government in ways that let the “minority of the opulent” (in James Madison's phrase) use the Constitution to block local policies that compete with their interests.  
   
  Price details often shocking examples of how the supposedly unalienable rights of individuals and communities are blithely disregarded. But he also describes how over 200 communities have drafted their own bills of rights that push back against the primacy of property and how we all can join this struggle to return America to what the revolutionary generation intended.

  The Fiat Standard - The Debt...

  n The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global bestseller The Bitcoin Standard.This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.With penetrating insight, Ammous analyzes global political currencies by analogy to bitcoin: how they're "mined" whenever government-guaranteed entities create loans, their lack of inherent restraints on inflation, and the rampant government intervention that has resulted in heavy, devastating, and persistent distortions to global markets for food, fuel, science, and education.Through these comparisons, Ammous demonstrates that bitcoin could be our next step forward—providing high salability across space, just like the fiat system, but without the unchecked fiat-denominated debt. Rather than a messy hyperinflationary collapse, the rise of bitcoin could look like a debt jubilee and an orderly upgrade to the world's monetary operating system, revolutionizing global capital and energy markets.
