  The widening wealth gap is all too familiar to many Millennials and GenZers, especially when home ownership and the lack of debt seem like faraway fantasies. And it's no surprise when they only hold about 4.6% of the country's wealth while Boomers held 22% at around the same age. So what happened to the promise of the American Dream? 
   
   
   
  In this new, final entry of his celebrated Hidden History series, Thom Hartmann uncovers the rise of the American middle class through the progressive policies of FDR, through to its downfall with the increasing privatization and economic deregulations of the Reagan era. 
   
   
   
  He also explores potential solutions including wealth and inheritance taxes to lessen economic inequality, supporting unions through increasing labor rights, and renationalizing public spaces and transportation. 
   
   
   
  The American Dream often remains just a dream for many, but this book highlights what needs to be done to take it back and help make it a reality for us all.

  Tears Over Russia - A Search for...

  Between 1917 and 1921, twenty years before the Holocaust began, an estimated 100,000 to 250,000 Jews were murdered in anti-Jewish pogroms across the Ukraine. Lisa grew up transfixed by her grandmother Channa’s stories about her family being forced to flee their hometown of Stavishche, as armies and bandit groups raided village after village, killing Jewish residents. Channa described a perilous three-year journey through Russia and Romania, led at first by an American who had snuck into the Ukraine to save his immediate family and ended up leading an exodus of nearly eighty people to safety. With almost no published sources to validate her grandmother’s tales, Lisa embarked on an incredible journey to tell Channa’s story, forging connections with archivists around the world to find elusive documents to fill in the gaps of what happened in Stavishche. She also tapped into connections closer to home, gathering testimonies from her grandmother’s relatives, childhood friends, and neighbors. The result is a moving historical family narrative that speaks to universal human themes—the resilience and hope of ordinary people surviving the ravages of history and human cruelty. With the growing passage of time, it is unlikely that we will see another family saga emerge so richly detailing this forgotten time period. Tears Over Russia eloquently proves that true life is sometimes more compelling than fiction.

  Gregory Weeks's Embracing Autonomy departs from other general treatments of Latin American-US relations not by putting US policy aside but by bringing in the Latin American and global contexts more closely and thus avoiding the incomplete picture provided by a narrow focus solely on the policies of the United States. 
   
   
   
  The core of autonomy for Latin America from the United States is seen in new, deeper, and more numerous relationships that do not include the United States. The book is not a study of rebellion against the United States, or even a critique of US policy. Instead, it is an examination of the major shifts that have taken place in the region in recent decades and how they have shaped Latin American-US relations. 
   
   
   
  Weeks's book provides a clearer understanding of where Latin America stands vis-à-vis the United States in the early twenty-first century. In doing so, we gain a better sense of the trajectory of Latin American-US relations and how they develop in turbulent times.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  The idea that some people are born with an innate ability to succeed academically has been ingrained in society for generations. It is easy to believe that certain individuals are naturally gifted, able to grasp complex concepts effortlessly while others struggle. However, this belief is more myth than truth. The narrative of "natural talent" often dismisses the crucial factors that actually contribute to academic success: effort, persistence, and the right strategies. 
  The myth of talent suggests that success is solely a product of being born with superior intelligence or abilities, leading many to underestimate the power of hard work and determination. In reality, research has shown that academic success is much more closely tied to the amount of effort and time an individual is willing to invest in their learning. Cognitive abilities may vary from person to person, but it is the consistent application of effort and the development of effective learning strategies that truly determine outcomes. 
  Take, for example, the famous cases of people like Albert Einstein, who is often regarded as a symbol of genius. While his intellectual abilities were certainly extraordinary, Einstein's success was not solely a result of natural talent. He was known for his tireless work ethic, spending long hours thinking deeply about complex problems and seeking new perspectives. His academic achievements were the product of dedication and a relentless pursuit of knowledge, not some magical gift bestowed upon him at birth.
