Summary

Syndicate Power Play explores how organized crime infiltrates and influences legitimate institutions, amassing power that rivals governments and businesses. It examines the key pillars of syndicate influence: financial manipulation, political corruption, and market control. One intriguing insight is how criminal organizations use complex financial instruments to launder money and invest in legitimate businesses, obscuring their activities and exerting influence.

 
The book analyzes how corruption levels correlate with organized crime activity, drawing from case studies, financial data, and interviews with law enforcement and syndicate members. It argues that syndicate power isn't just about violence, but also their strategic leveraging of economic and political systems. This interdisciplinary approach combines criminology, economics, political science, and sociology for a holistic understanding. Uniquely, Syndicate Power Play focuses on the systemic nature of syndicate influence, examining underlying economic and political structures.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview to detailed analyses of financial, political, and business sector influence, concluding with practical recommendations for policymakers and businesses. It provides a clear understanding of how syndicates operate, empowering readers to combat organized crime.

    Hitler's Banker

    1932. The economic crisis in Germany was unprecedented—a severe recession, 6 million unemployed, and a collapse in the popularity of Chancellor Brüning, who was criticized for his lack of foresight and who stubbornly focused on a single objective—reducing public deficits and restoring the state's finances under pressure from other European countries. All the while far-right parties, which would soon take power, were experiencing an irrepressible rise.
How can one not be struck by the similarity between the economic and political situation in Germany in 1932 and that of some Western countries in 2022?
In a fictionalized biography tracing the astonishing career of Hjalmar Schacht, a German financial genius of the last century, Jean-François Bouchard indirectly highlights the interest in drawing inspiration from the economic methods that worked at that time. With this perspective, the current economic situation does not seem to be without a solution.
It was the end of unemployment that became the factor of social stabilization for Adolf Hitler, and of consolidation of his power and of military hegemony. In this regard, sadly, the incredible story of Hjalmar Schacht is the most painful demonstration of this process.

    Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
 
 
 
Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
 
 
 
In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.
