  Our perceptions of ourselves are often shaped by external influences—society’s standards, media portrayals, and cultural expectations—all of which intertwine to form our sense of identity. For many individuals, this connection leads to a cycle of dissatisfaction, self-criticism, and, in some cases, the development of eating disorders. This book seeks to explore the complex relationship between body image and eating disorders, shedding light on the underlying psychological, social, and emotional factors that contribute to these issues. 
  The mirror, both literal and figurative, serves as a powerful symbol in this context. It is where we first encounter our reflection, yet it can also distort our sense of self, making us question whether we truly see who we are or merely a distorted version of reality. Body image—the way we perceive and feel about our physical appearance—often influences our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When this perception becomes negative, it can trigger harmful behaviors, such as restrictive eating, excessive exercising, or binge eating, leading to eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. 
  What makes the relationship between body image and eating disorders so complicated is the array of factors that contribute to the development of these conditions. Genetics, environment, and life experiences all play significant roles in shaping one’s body image. However, societal pressures, reinforced through media images and social expectations, can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy, particularly among vulnerable individuals. For some, these pressures create a perfect storm, where the desire to conform to idealized body types results in harmful coping mechanisms, such as disordered eating patterns. 
  In this book, we will explore how body image issues can manifest in a variety of ways, from subtle dissatisfaction to full-blown eating disorders.

  Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? 
   
   
   
  Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.
