Beschreibung

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

Stover offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy.   Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicines (medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis), why they were chosen, and the process used for transformation during the sessions. Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the reader’s healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all readers, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist.  Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the reader to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.

    Neoliberalism is a term that has been widely used in academic, political, and economic discussions, yet its exact definition often varies depending on the context. Broadly, neoliberalism refers to a set of economic and political policies that emphasize the role of free markets in achieving economic prosperity, social well-being, and individual freedom. At its core, neoliberalism promotes the idea that markets should operate with minimal interference from the state, and that individuals should be free to pursue their economic interests without governmental restrictions. 
    The roots of neoliberalism can be traced back to the early 20th century, particularly to the ideas of economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. These thinkers were critical of state intervention in the economy and argued that government control of markets often led to inefficiency and loss of individual freedoms. Hayek’s influential work, The Road to Serfdom (1944), warned against the dangers of central planning and collectivism, which he believed could lead to authoritarianism. Similarly, Friedman, through his advocacy for monetarism and the reduction of government spending, pushed for policies that emphasized the importance of individual choice and market forces over state control. Their ideas laid the intellectual foundation for what would later become neoliberalism. 
    Neoliberalism as a political and economic force began to take shape during the 1970s as many Western economies faced economic stagnation and rising inflation, often referred to as stagflation. Traditional Keynesian approaches, which advocated for government intervention to manage demand and stabilize economies, appeared to fail in addressing these new challenges. In response, neoliberal ideas gained traction, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom.

    This book bundle contains the following 3 titles: 
    - Mercantilism Explained: Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
    - Communism vs. Capitalism: An economic system refers to the structure and methods a society uses to produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. It defines how resources are allocated, how wealth is distributed, and how economic decisions are made. Different societies have developed various economic systems over time, influenced by their unique historical, cultural, and political contexts. Among these systems, capitalism and communism are two of the most prominent and contrasting economic ideologies that have shaped the global landscape. 
    - Economic Impacts of Imperialism: Cultural and ideological factors also played a role in shaping imperialism. The belief in the superiority of certain civilizations over others justified the conquest and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Religion was another motivator, with missionary efforts often accompanying territorial expansion. Christianity, in particular, became a tool for legitimizing imperial control, as colonizing powers framed their endeavors as missions to civilize and convert native populations.
