The 1937 Chicago Steel Strike - Blood on the Prairie

John F Hogan

Summary

This in-depth history of the Memorial Day Massacre brings new clarity to the conflicting reports that left too many questions unanswered.   A violent period of American labor history reached its bloody apex in 1937 when rattled Chicago police shot, clubbed, and gassed a group of men, women, and children attempting to picket Republic Steel’s South Chicago plant. Ten died and over one hundred were wounded in what became known as the Memorial Day Massacre.   A newsreel camera captured about eight minutes of the confrontation, yet local and congressional investigations amazingly reached opposite conclusions about what happened and why. Now Chicago historian John Hogan sifts through the conflicting reports of all those entangled in that fateful day, including union leaders, news reporters, and an undercover National Guard observer revealed after seventy-six years.

Momentum Stocks - Investing and...

Matthew G. Carter

Everything you need to know about profiting from momentum stocks without getting wiped out.

"The trend is your friend, until the end when it bends!"

There are two types of trend traders - those who follow the trend and make profits, and those who follow the trend, make profits, and then lose it in the end. Which of these traders do you want to be?

Trend trading is certainly a good thing - people like John. W. Henry earned millions of dollars from trend trading. From the proceeds of his investments, he bought the Boston Red Sox and the Liverpool Football Club and today, he is worth over $2.2 billion. 

The truth is that trend following is a very controversial topic; many financial advisors would advise you to stay off trend stocks, and that they don’t work for stocks but people like John W. Henry have proven them wrong.

People who tell you to stay off trend following simply have no idea about how to trade trend stocks; there are methods to these things, and in this book, you’re about to learn some of the secret strategies that successful trend traders use.

This is where your momentum stock success journey begins. Here is a preview of what you'll learn:

What trend following is 
Where to find the best trend stocks 
When to buy a stock 
When to take your profits
When to exit a losing trade 
And basically everything you need to know about profiting from momentum stocks without getting wiped out.

The Global Police State

William I. Robinson

As the world becomes ever more unequal, people become ever more 'disposable'. Today, governments systematically exclude sections of their populations from society through heavy-handed policing. But it doesn't always go to plan. William I. Robinson exposes the nature and dynamics of this out-of-control system, arguing for the urgency of creating a movement capable of overthrowing it. The global police state uses a variety of ingenious methods of control, including mass incarceration, police violence, US-led wars, the persecution of immigrants and refugees, and the repression of environmental activists. Movements have emerged to combat the increasing militarization, surveillance and social cleansing; however many of them appeal to a moral sense of social justice rather than addressing its root - global capitalism. Using shocking data which reveals how far capitalism has become a system of repression, Robinson argues that the emerging megacities of the world are becoming the battlegrounds where the excluded and the oppressed face off against the global police state.“For the last twenty years, William Robinson has been one of the most important analysts of global capitalism and the dynamics of globalization. In this new work, Robinson turns his attention to the emergence of a 21st century "global police state" that has developed as a corollary to growing inequality, climate collapse, and intensifying migration movements of the dispossessed. As Robinson warns, with great deprivation comes great repression, policing and potentially war. Robinson writes pointedly and with urgency for a broad audience with an interest in mobilizing for a just world”KEEANGA-YAMAHTTA TAYLOR, Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University “Karl Marx aspired to a world in which our animal needs would be satisfied and our human needs could be addressed. It is a realistic possibility now, as William Robinson outlines - or the alternative that is taking shape before our eyes: a "global police state" controlled by narrowly concentrated capital with "surplus humanity" left to survive somehow on its own. The choice is in our hands. There could hardly be a more compelling one” NOAM CHOMSKY, Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) “Robinson gives powerful theoretical coherence to everyone's fear that the fascism is being reborn, but adds the important twist that repression itself has grown into an essential engine of accumulation”MIKE DAVIS, author of 'Planet of Slums' and co-author of Set the Night on Fire: Los Angeles in the Sixties
