    UNCOVERS HOW TRULY RANDOM THE WORLD IS BY CHALLENGING NOTIONS OF PREDICTABILITY AND RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM 
 
It’s comforting to think that we can be successful because we work hard, climb ladders, and get what we deserve, but each of us has been profoundly touched by randomness. Chance is shown to play a crucial role in shaping outcomes across history, throughout the natural world, and in our everyday lives. In The Random Factor, Mark Robert Rank draws from a wealth of evidence, including interviews and research, to explain how luck and chance play out and reveals how we can use these lessons to guide our personal lives and public policies.  
 
This book traverses luck from macro to micro, from events like the Cuban Missile Crisis to our personal encounters and relationships. Rank also delves into the class and race dynamics of chance, emphasizing the stark disparities it brings to light.  
 
This transformative book prompts a new understanding of the twists and turns in our daily lives and encourages readers to fully appreciate the surprising world of randomness in which we live. 
 
“A fantastic read. Mark Robert Rank deftly brings together insights from a wide range of studies and everyday experiences to show the underappreciated role that randomness plays in all aspects of social life. Accessible and entertaining, the book provides a valuable new perspective on contemporary inequality.”—Michael Sauder, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology and Criminology, University of Iowa

    Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions. 
Foucault’s work is marked by a critique of the traditional ways of understanding the relationship between individuals and society. He challenged the dominant historical narratives and sought to uncover the deeper structures of power that influenced the development of knowledge. One of his central ideas was that knowledge and power are intimately connected—knowledge is not neutral but shaped by power relations that determine what is considered true or false. In this sense, his work was not just theoretical but deeply political, as it explored how systems of power create the conditions for knowledge and vice versa. 
Foucault’s philosophy is often associated with his concept of "genealogy," a method he developed to investigate historical processes and the ways in which ideas, norms, and practices evolve over time. However, it is in his "archaeology of knowledge" that he makes his most significant philosophical contributions. The archaeological method is a way of analyzing the historical layers of knowledge and uncovering the deep structures that underlie our understanding of the world. Unlike traditional historiography, which tends to focus on narratives and individuals, Foucault's archaeology examines the discourses and institutions that create and maintain knowledge, highlighting the ways they shape and limit what can be known.

    *Wage-Labour and Capital* by Karl Marx is a foundational text in Marxist economic theory that explores the exploitative dynamics of capitalist societies. Originally delivered as a series of lectures, the work delves into the relationship between wage laborers and capitalists, emphasizing how workers sell their labor power for wages that merely sustain their existence, while the capitalists appropriate the surplus value created by the workers. Marx unpacks the mechanisms of capital accumulation, the commodification of labor, and the inherent inequalities that sustain the capitalist system. Serving as a precursor to his seminal work *Das Kapital*, this concise and accessible text provides a critical framework for understanding the economic forces underpinning modern industrial society and the cyclical crises that arise from its contradictions.
