Summary

Hilaire Belloc's 'The Servile State' is a groundbreaking work that delves into the economic and political landscape of his time, challenging the prevailing ideologies of capitalism and socialism. Belloc argues that society is moving towards a system where workers are increasingly becoming dependent on the state and corporations, leading to a loss of individual freedom and economic equality. His sharp analysis and compelling arguments make this book a must-read for those interested in socio-economic issues of the early 20th century. Hilaire Belloc, a prolific writer and thinker, was known for his contrarian views on various social and political topics. His deep understanding of history and economics provided him with the insight to critique the emerging trends in society, leading him to write 'The Servile State' as a warning against the dangers of centralized power and economic servitude. I highly recommend 'The Servile State' to readers who are interested in exploring alternative perspectives on the economic systems of capitalism and socialism. Belloc's thought-provoking analysis challenges conventional thinking and provides a fresh outlook on the pressing issues of his time.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt examines the rising culture of "safetyism" on college campuses and its broader impact on society. The authors explore how well-intentioned cultural shifts, such as overprotective parenting, the decline of free play, and an emphasis on emotional safety, have contributed to a generation of students who are more anxious, less resilient, and more polarized. The book delves into the consequences of avoiding discomfort, the rise of ideological purity, and the decline of open discourse. It offers insights into how these trends are affecting mental health, critical thinking, and social cohesion.

    The result of hundreds of interviews, Vanished in Vermillion is a cold case story that flips the script on a typical investigation narrative, revealing the biggest law enforcement embarrassment in South Dakota history. 
 
 
 
In May 1971, Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller were two seventeen-year-olds driving to an end-of-the-school-year party in a rundown Studebaker Lark, when they seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Police back then didn't do enough to try and find them. Investigators thirty years later did too much. Two families endure decades of pain as they await answers of what happened to their girls. When a third family is pulled into the mystery, they quickly learn their nightmare is just beginning.
