  PowerNomics is a transformative, mind-altering guide that, for the first time, offers actionable solutions to turn impoverished and powerless Black communities into a truly competitive group. It teaches a revolutionary way to see, think, and act in racial matters. 
  The decision is clear: Will you take the "all-is-well" placebo and remain complacent, or will you embrace the PowerNomics cure, confront the truth, and take action to solve the nation's race problem? The choice is yours.

  A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. 
   
   
   
  In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? 
   
   
   
  Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's "Titans,", it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides listeners opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.

  Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
   
   
   
  Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
   
   
   
  Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.

  Legal rights are the foundation of the modern world, influencing every aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a complex web of rights that protect our freedoms, safeguard our interests, and ensure our ability to live our lives in a fair and just society. But what exactly are legal rights, and how have they evolved over time? The shocking truth is that many people don’t fully understand the legal rights they are entitled to, nor do they realize how these rights impact them on a daily basis. In this book, we aim to uncover the truths behind legal rights, shedding light on their importance and how they shape the world we live in. 
    
  Legal rights are not a recent concept; they have been developed over centuries, evolving with society's changing needs and values. In early civilizations, rights were often limited and dictated by rulers, leaving little room for individual freedoms. It wasn’t until the rise of democratic societies that the idea of legal rights for all people began to take shape. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is one of the earliest examples of a legal document that set the foundation for individual freedoms and legal protections. However, it wasn’t until much later that such rights would become enshrined in the constitutions and laws of nations across the world. 
    
  The significance of legal rights today cannot be overstated. From voting rights to free speech, from the right to a fair trial to protection from discrimination, legal rights play a crucial role in ensuring equality and justice. Without these rights, individuals would have no means of holding authorities accountable or protecting themselves from abuse. In the digital age, the scope of legal rights continues to expand, with new laws aimed at safeguarding personal privacy, intellectual property, and access to technology.
