Soviet Industry

Summary

Soviet Industry explores the Soviet Union's rapid industrialization, focusing on the ambitious Five-Year Plans and their impact on the Soviet economy and labor force. This historical work examines how a predominantly agrarian society transformed into an industrial powerhouse, a process driven by Marxist-Leninist economic theory and state-led development. One intriguing aspect is the shift from agriculture to industry, which involved the forced migration of workers to new industrial centers. The book uses archival data and statistical analysis to examine the economic planning. The book argues that this unprecedented growth came at significant social and human costs, reshaping the nation's economic structure and labor dynamics. For example, the collectivization of agriculture, while aimed at supporting industrial growth, had profound consequences for rural populations.

 
Soviet Industry begins with the theoretical framework of Soviet economic planning and then examines the Five-Year Plans, their goals, and their outcomes across key sectors. The book provides a balanced perspective, acknowledging the achievements of Soviet industrialization while critically examining its human and environmental costs. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of a centrally planned economy and the long-term consequences of state-led development, which continue to influence Russia's economic and political landscape today.

Going Public - A Survivor’s...

Julie Macfarlane

It took Julie Macfarlane a lifetime to say the words out loud — the words that finally broke the calm and traveled farther than she could have imagined. In this clear-eyed account, she confronts her own silence and deeply rooted trauma to chart a remarkable course from sexual abuse victim to agent of change.
		 
Going Public merges the worlds of personal and professional, activism and scholarship. Drawing upon decades of legal training, Macfarlane decodes the well-worn methods used by church, school, and state to silence survivors, from first reporting to cross-examination to non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, she lays bare the isolation and exhaustion of going public in her own life, as she takes her abuser to court, challenges her colleagues, and weathers a defamation lawsuit.
		 
The result is far more than a memoir. It’s a courageous and essential blueprint on how to go toe-to-toe with the powers behind institutional abuse and protectionism. At long last, Macfarlane’s experiences bring her to the most important realization of her life: that only she can stand in her own shoes, and only she can stand up and speak about what happened to her.

The Brain Savers - How a Scrappy...

Colin T. McDonald, Bonnie...

A FULL CAST PERFORMANCE, FEATURING HOLLYWOOD ACTORS, SOUND EFFECTS, AND AN ORIGINAL SCORE!
From the authors of the New York Times bestseller, The Barefoot Spirit, and the Audie Award finalist, genre-bending audiobook of the same name, comes a story of vision and invention, failure and setbacks, mistakes and lessons. Business Audio Theatre presents a Sherwood Players Production, The Brain Savers, the true story of how a scrappy startup used technology to put the humanity of patients first and ended up changing medicine forever.
Amid the internet boom of the mid-2000s, a band of entrepreneurs stood at the intersection of medicine, technology, and business. They saw a solution to the crucial problems of emergency care, which was too often handicapped by underfunding, overscheduled specialists, archaic practices, and onerous equipment. Through pioneering telemedicine and new inventions like the portable CT scanner, the founders of Specialists on Call (S.O.C.) did more than just make emergency care better, faster, and more humane; they brought health care, which is often described as the slowest industry in America to change, into the 21st Century.
This is Dr. Colin McDonald’s story of how S.O.C. came to be. After leaving a cushy teaching position at Harvard, it took years of pursuing a single objective, then changing on a dime, to create S.O.C. In the end, what he created was a system that saved lives—and continues to save lives today.
Some of these hard-learned lessons are complex, while others are so timeless they almost sound cliché (“trust your vision and your moral compass, change when you must, just keep going”), but they are far from cliché for the founders of S.O.C. Theirs is a story of people with imagination and drive who wanted to make the world better, who trusted their ideas and each other, and who, despite everything, kept on going!
