  The Democratic Marketplace - How...

  Elisa Herzog

  Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
   
   
   
  The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
   
   
   
  These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

  In their new book, “Because It’s Just And Right: The Untold Back-Story of the US Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem", Leonard Grunstein and Farley Weiss share the riveting political drama of how the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was first promulgated by Senator Jon Kyl, negotiated and then passed, on a bipartisan basis, by an overwhelming majority of Congress. It also describes the arduous process for over two decades that led to its finally being implemented. The Bible, Jewish History, International and US Law, as well as legal precedents are brought to life in a way that is both enlightening and entertaining. 
  This book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the significance of this historic event and it's impact on US-Israel relations. 
  David Friedman, US Ambassador to Israel from 2017-2021, also weighs in on the book, calling it “essential reading for a complete understanding of why Jerusalem is, and must always remain, the undivided, eternal capital of the Jewish State.” 
  Senator Joe Lieberman, one of the key players in enabling bipartisan support for the Act, noted: “In this book, Farley Weiss and Len Grunstein tell the dramatic story of how the United States Congress enacted legislation to move our Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in 1995, and how twenty-three years later in 2018, it was finally moved there because, as the book’s title says, it was “Just and Right.” 
  Other testimonials include those by Governor Mike Huckabee and Professor Alan Dershowitz. Senator John Kyl provided a Foreword for the book.

  Portuguese Empire - Historical...

  The Portuguese Empire comprised a vast network of colonies, factories, and overseas territories established by Portugal. Beginning with the capture of Ceuta in North Africa in 1415 and continuing until the handover of sovereignty over Macau to China in 1999, it stands as one of the longest-lasting empires in European history. The empire's roots can be traced back to the 15th century, and by the early 16th century, it had established a global presence with strategic bases in North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. 
  The rise of the Portuguese Empire coincided with the dawn of the Age of Discovery, a period characterized by exploration and expansion. Following the Reconquista, which concluded in 1492, Portuguese sailors embarked on expeditions along the African coast and the Atlantic archipelagos starting in 1418. Leveraging advancements in navigation, mapping, and maritime technology, particularly the caravel—a vessel adept at oceanic travel—they aimed to uncover a sea route to the lucrative spice trade of the East. Key milestones during this era included Bartolomeu Dias’s successful rounding of the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 and Vasco da Gama’s historic arrival in India in 1498. Around 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral arrived at the shores of Brazil, either by chance or as part of a broader imperial strategy.
