The Big Truth - Upholding...

Major Garrett, David Becker

When a seven-million-vote margin of victory and 306 electoral votes pointed to Joe Biden as the victor in the 2020 Presidential Election, Trump-fueled conspiracy theories exploded. 
 
  
 
In The Big Truth, CBS's Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and the nation's foremost elections expert David Becker completely upend The Big Lie that has infected the Far Right with firsthand stories of election officials like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, election director Thomas Freitag. And they reveal the concrete evidence proving that 2020 may have been the most secure US election ever. But Garrett and Becker go beyond the key players from all six swing states, the pre-election litigation that clarified the rules for both parties, and the fully auditable and verifiable ballots used. They lay bare the methods being undertaken right now to undercut faith, belief, and effectiveness of elections, identifying the places where the most dire actions have been taken since 2020—where election laws have been changed; or election officials been hounded out of office, retired out of frustration/fatigue, or been replaced by pro-Trump political figures.

The Great Illusion

Norman Angell

"The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics. 
Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a "great illusion". 
Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations. 
"The Great Illusion" is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time

The Capital Dilemma - Balancing...

Arlo Holders

The free market and capitalism have long been foundational principles of economic systems around the world. At their core, they represent the idea that economic decisions, such as production, investment, and distribution, should be guided by the forces of supply and demand with minimal government intervention. In a truly free market, goods and services are exchanged in a competitive environment where prices are determined by the collective actions of consumers and producers rather than by central planning or state control.
Capitalism, as an economic system, emerged during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its roots trace back even further to mercantilist policies that prioritized trade and accumulation of wealth through colonial ventures. Over time, capitalism has evolved from simple trade systems to complex global markets, driven by the desire for profit and the expansion of economic activities. The central tenet of capitalism is the pursuit of self-interest, where individuals or organizations are motivated to create wealth by competing in open markets.
This system offers several advantages, such as fostering innovation, encouraging efficiency, and enabling individuals to accumulate wealth. By allowing businesses and entrepreneurs to operate freely, capitalism encourages the creation of new products, services, and technologies, which in turn leads to economic growth and increased standards of living. Moreover, the competitive nature of free markets ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, as businesses strive to meet consumer demands at the lowest cost.
