  "School and Society" is a book written by John Dewey, a philosopher and educator, in 1899. In this book, Dewey advocates for a more progressive and democratic approach to education that emphasizes the importance of practical learning and social experience. 
  Dewey argues that traditional education, which focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, fails to prepare students for real-life situations and inhibits their ability to think critically and creatively. Instead, he suggests that education should be based on the interests and experiences of the students, and should involve hands-on activities and problem-solving exercises. 
  Furthermore, Dewey believes that education should not be isolated from society, but should be integrated into the community and reflect the values and needs of the society. He asserts that education should help students develop social consciousness and promote democracy by encouraging cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility. 
  Overall, "School and Society" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it paved the way for the development of progressive education, which continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day

  Plutocracy - The Rule of Wealth:...

  Plutocracy, often described as the rule of wealth, refers to a political system in which economic elites hold significant influence over government decisions, shaping policies to favor their interests. This concentration of power is not limited to authoritarian regimes or monarchies but can also be observed in modern democracies, where wealth and power are deeply intertwined. In such systems, political decisions are often made in ways that protect and increase the wealth of the rich, while the needs and concerns of the broader population are sidelined. 
  The concept of plutocracy is not a recent phenomenon. Throughout history, societies have been dominated by a small group of wealthy individuals or families who controlled vast resources and used their wealth to influence political outcomes. Whether through the control of land, natural resources, or capital, the wealthy elite have been able to dictate the direction of national policies, often at the expense of the lower classes. From the Roman Empire to the monarchies of Europe, political power and economic power have often been inextricably linked. 
  In modern democracies, the influence of wealth on politics is more subtle but no less pervasive. Campaign financing, lobbying, and the revolving door between government and corporate sectors are just a few examples of how wealth can shape political agendas. Political campaigns are expensive, and politicians often rely on wealthy donors and interest groups to fund their campaigns. In return, these donors and groups expect favorable legislation or regulatory policies. As a result, the political system becomes more responsive to the needs of the wealthy, while the voices of ordinary citizens are drowned out.

  The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time. The content therefore, while based on real events and people, is not a factual historical record but just the creation of the author. The year is 1926 and chat show host Tom Mulcahy is interviewing Countess (or Madame) Markievicz about her extraordinary life.

  The Faith - What Christians...

  Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God's kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. 
  This is the heart of the gospel: God's search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry--have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christians--have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God's coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? 
  The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.
