  Activating the Common Good -...

  A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. 
   
  This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. 
   
  The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the "business perspective narrative." It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. 
   
  Block offers an antidote:  the "common good narrative." It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. 
   
  This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.

  Dive into the heart of Rome's most defining era in "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" a compelling compilation that brings together two insightful books into one monumental volume. This masterfully crafted narrative by Clifford Alexander takes you on a journey through one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in Roman history, an era that witnessed the drastic shift from the Roman Republic to the might of the Roman Empire. 
  In the first part of this comprehensive work, explore the intricate dynamics of the First Triumvirate. Witness the political genius of Julius Caesar, the wealth and ambition of Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the military prowess of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus as they join forces, only to find their alliance plagued by greed and betrayal. This segment brilliantly captures the end of the Roman Republic, marked by internal strife, power struggles, and the eventual descent into civil war. 
  Transition into the second part, where the aftermath of Caesar's assassination sets the stage for the Second Triumvirate. Here, the narrative delves into the alliance of Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. This section vividly portrays their initial unity against Caesar's assassins, the subsequent division of the Roman world, and the eventual rise of Augustus as the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. 
  "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" not only offers a detailed account of political maneuvers, battles, and the personalities that shaped an empire but also provides a deep understanding of the socio-political structures of ancient Rome.
