  The profoundly moving story of a son's quest to uncover his father's Holocaust secret. 
   
  To the outside world, Henry Bernard was a hard-working and beloved family doctor on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Yet he was also a Holocaust survivor whose life was profoundly affected by the experiences of his past. He took extreme steps for his family's security, keeping a rifle near his bedroom and covering up his family's Jewish origin. He was obsessed with paying off debt - the German word for debt being the same as the word for 'guilt'. He kept his striped Auschwitz uniform with a picture of his mother in his wardrobe. These obsessions helped destroy his marriage and restricted any hope he had of conventional domestic happiness. 
   
  But Henry had a bigger secret and a deeper shame about what he had done during the war. He suffered privately until he began returning to Germany and Poland to confront his past and come to terms with the deaths of his parents and of Halina, the love of his life. 
   
  The Ghost Tattoo is the story of how Tony Bernard, Henry's eldest son, went on a forty-year journey with his father to solve the mystery of why Henry was the way he was, and how he finally came to understand the desperate choices Henry had made in the ghetto to try to keep himself and his family alive.

  This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
   
  This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
   
  -	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
  -	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
  -	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
  -	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
  -	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
  -	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
  -	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
   
  Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.

  Hospitality - Creating a Space...

  The concept of hospitality goes beyond simply entertaining guests. It is the art of making people feel valued, comfortable, and at ease in a given space. True hospitality is not about perfection or impressing others but about creating an environment where people feel welcomed and cared for. It is an intentional practice that involves thoughtfulness, warmth, and a genuine desire to serve. 
  Why hospitality matters can be seen in everyday interactions. Whether welcoming a friend into your home, greeting a stranger with kindness, or ensuring a guest feels at ease, hospitality has the power to transform relationships. It fosters connection, builds trust, and creates lasting memories. In a world where many feel disconnected, a hospitable spirit can make all the difference. It allows people to feel seen and valued, offering them a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar or even familiar space. 
  There is a difference between hosting and hospitality. Hosting often focuses on preparation, aesthetics, and the logistics of entertaining, such as planning meals or setting up a guest room. While these elements are valuable, true hospitality goes deeper. It is about the atmosphere and emotions a person experiences in a space. A well-decorated home means little if guests feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or like an inconvenience. On the other hand, a modest setting can feel like a sanctuary when hospitality is extended with sincerity and care.
