  Something for Nothing - The...

  Brian Tracy

  America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.

  Hate and Reconciliation -...

  Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
   
   
   
  Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

  The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising

  Playful, formal, satirical and tender, the poems in The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising are wildly wide-ranging. Jack Houston whisks the reader through meditations on family life, the teachings of Lucretius, the sexual potential of Captain Barnacles, and dreams of a socialist utopia, managing to be both deeply weird and touching.
  In his debut pamphlet, Houston draws out and scrutinises the mundanities of life, showing how they can form part of something much bigger. His poems aim to awaken the capacity for revolution within us all, even if it only gets us as far as the roundabout in the local playpark.
  "In the year 2121, we're all now too aware that a sofa is simply a bench
  
  constructed from the hewn corpse
  
  of a tree, covered in a mesh made from the amniotic fibres
  
  of oppressedly mono-cropped cotton plants
  
  & filled with the plumage
  
  from many a murdered full-grown duck [...]"

  Bad Hombres - How Hispanics Will...

  As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
   
   
   
  Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

  Fiona Hill has a unique perspective of the world, having spent time in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia. She has seen the good and bad of all three countries, and realized that the three aren’t all that different. 
  In There Is Nothing for You Here, Hill explains the three countries' post-industrial struggles after World War II, framed within the contest of her own experiences. Many towns and areas have been completely forgotten, which has bred distrust and division. Specifically in the US, this culminated in Donald Trump being elected president, which only furthered the country’s polarization.  
  When people lose hope, they fall victim to populist movements that provide seemingly easy solutions, but in reality, only want to take advantage of their vote. To reverse this trend, we need to provide more opportunities for those who are less fortunate, regardless of race, gender, or place of origin.
