  "Progress and Poverty" is a seminal work written by Henry George, first published in 1879. The book addresses economic and social issues, particularly focusing on the unequal distribution of wealth and the causes of poverty in the midst of progress and economic growth. In "Progress and Poverty," Henry George explores the relationship between economic progress and the persistence of poverty. He critiques the existing economic system and advocates for a single tax on land as a solution to address wealth inequality and eradicate poverty. George argues that land, as a resource, should be treated as a common good, and the benefits of land value increases should be shared by the community. The book gained widespread attention and sparked discussions on economic reform and social justice.

  Throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks. 
  Several years ago, I was approached by Carolyn Wyman, author of “The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book” to write a book about Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies.  I am co-founder of Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies with my husband, but no one starts a company alone.  I told her that Otis Spunkmeyer was about many things besides cookies, and I wrote stories to prove it.  Carolyn agreed, indicating my most fascinating stories had nothing to do with cookies.  She suggested I compile my “you can’t make this up” stories of improbable possibilities.  
  My entrepreneurial stories are of Robert C. Brown and Company, investment advisors, and Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and Burritos.  Triple 888 Manufacturing, the sheet metal company that created the oven to bake Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.  Sentimental Journeys, the DC3 airline that promoted Otis Spunkmeyer.  New Shoes, Old Souls Dance Company, Yoga Garden Dancers, Heterodoxy Magazine, and George Magazine.  Yes, I did meet with John F. Kennedy Jr., to incubate George.  I also took Joe DiMaggio to Las Vegas and Van Morrison sang “Moondance” to me.  Albert Einstein is one of my heroes.  I have daughters.  These narratives are a memorialization of my improbable possibilities.  My spaghetti-walling spirit propagated waves. 
  The most powerful quantum computers can’t negotiate infinite waves of possibilities.  Artificial intelligence generates probable possibilities.  Human intelligence imagines improbable possibilities.  Artificial intelligence exists on codes and algorithms.  Human intelligence is nurtured by thinking with thoughtfulness.  It actualizes imagination, and spaghetti-walls improbable possibilities. 
  This is not a treatise on mindfulness.  It is not an AI bashing, or a self-help book.  Primarily, I am spaghetti-walling this book to entertain you.  I’ve been determined to make waves.

  Leading While Black - The...

  The American workplace exhibits a growing imbalance when it comes to human identity. Leaders are frequently defined in the absence of their critical social identifiers, but the exclusion of these identifiers is a mistake and ignores essential physical, cultural, and spiritual realities. Their exclusion is especially problematic for leaders of the Black identity and the Christian faith. Color-blind ideology harms people of color, while religion-blind systems damage people of faith, and both are especially problematic for individuals who reckon with both realities. 
   
   
   
  Rather than abandoning an individual's social identities, the ones we choose and the ones we do not, Leading While Black draws on the lived experiences of executive-level leaders of the Christian faith and Black identity, and offers a testament to the power of a living God in the social fabric of public life. Instead of ignoring the narrative arc of social identities and the weight they carry when considering an individual's conception of leadership, Torrance Jones leans into the value of those identities and asserts their integral importance for Black leaders and for those who work with and for Black voices.
