Beschreibung

Hunter Role Lost examines the decline of hunting in Western societies and its impact on male identity in the post-industrial era. The book argues that the shift away from traditional, agrarian lifestyles towards service-based economies has disrupted men's roles, leading to feelings of purposelessness. Intriguingly, the historical trajectory reveals hunting evolved from a survival skill to a recreational activity, eventually diminishing in contemporary society. This transformation has contributed to a crisis of masculinity, affecting men's mental health and social structures.

The book presents its analysis across three sections. The first part defines the historical role of hunting, its psychological significance, and the economic forces contributing to its decline. The second section explores the impact of urbanization and the rise of office work. Finally, the third section analyzes the social and psychological effects on men, looking at potential solutions and reinterpretations of the hunter archetype. This approach offers a unique perspective by framing the decline of hunting as a fundamental disruption of male identity, challenging conventional narratives of progress and highlighting the unintended consequences of industrialization. The book synthesizes historical records, sociological studies, psychological research, and personal narratives to explore social change and its effects.

Hunter Role Lost connects with gender studies by examining traditional masculinity and its transformation. Ultimately, the book aims to contribute to a more informed dialogue on the nature of masculinity, the impact of societal change on gender roles, and ways to promote men's mental health.

Wealth Supremacy - How the...

Marjorie Kelly, Edgar Villanueva

This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
 
This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
 
-	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
-	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
-	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
-	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
-	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
-	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
-	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
 
Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
