  Value Price and Profit

  Karl Marx

  **Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a seminal work that distills the core principles of Marxist economic theory into a concise and accessible format. Originally delivered as a speech to the General Council of the First International in 1865, the text examines the dynamics of labor, wages, and profit within a capitalist system. Marx explains how the value of commodities is rooted in the labor required for their production, and he critiques the mechanisms by which capitalists extract surplus value from workers to generate profit. In doing so, he challenges the notion that raising wages alone can resolve systemic inequality, emphasizing the structural exploitation inherent in capitalism. This work serves as both an introduction to Marx's economic ideas and a call to action for addressing labor exploitation and economic injustice.

  The Death of Omnipotence and...

  Omnipotence is dead. 
  At least it should be. It has no biblical support. And it dies a death of a thousand qualifications in philosophy. 
  Those harmed and hurting wonder why an omnipotent and loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The problem of evil buries omnipotence six feet under. 
  But the death of omnipotence is not the death of God. 
  In this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of love. 
  If we think love shapes and guides God's power, we make better sense of life. We make better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn't prevent genuine evil and it overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good. 
  No book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. Those who care about God, love, scripture, and logic will find what they've long been looking for.

  Endorsements: 
  "Omnipotence has long been considered a basic, non-negotiable, characteristic of God. But is it biblical? And does it push us toward theological landmines that blow up faith? In this book, Oord, with his typical gentle candor, lays out the complex issues in clear and readable chunks. In the end, Oord points to the beauty and comfort of a God who is uncontrolling love."

  The Sociology of Health and...

  The sociology of health and illness examines how social factors influence health, disease, and healthcare systems. It goes beyond biological explanations to explore the ways in which cultural norms, economic conditions, and social structures shape individual and public health. Health is not merely a biological state but a socially constructed phenomenon influenced by historical, political, and economic contexts. Sociologists study patterns of illness and healthcare disparities to understand how social inequalities impact well-being. 
  One of the key concepts in the sociology of health is the social construction of illness. Different societies define and interpret illness in unique ways, often influenced by cultural beliefs and values. What is considered a disease in one culture may not be viewed the same way in another. For example, mental health conditions have been perceived and treated differently across societies and time periods, often reflecting broader social attitudes rather than purely medical realities. Additionally, the classification of illnesses can change, as seen in the evolving definitions of conditions like ADHD, autism, and even obesity. 
  Another important theme is the relationship between health and social structures. Factors such as socioeconomic status, education, occupation, and race play a significant role in determining health outcomes. People from lower-income backgrounds often have limited access to healthcare, nutritious food, and safe living environments, leading to poorer health compared to wealthier populations. Similarly, marginalized groups may experience discrimination in healthcare settings, affecting the quality of care they receive. Understanding these patterns helps sociologists identify systemic issues that contribute to health disparities.

  Against All Enemies - Gulf War...

  While the Gulf War lasted barely six months— from August 1990 until February 1991— many of the veterans who engaged in the conflict suffered long-lasting physical and psychological effects. And yet, those in power who had the ability to address such issues, neglected to do so— at least not in any effective or sustainable ways. But why did the system fail the Gulf War veterans? Did political leaders have an obligation to speak out on behalf of the veterans and demand that America's military hospitals stop turning them away? In Against All Enemies, Seymour M. Hersh— who first gained worldwide recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War— poses the difficult questions and offers opinions on why and how our nation let down so many of the men and women who engaged in the Gulf War.
