  The story of modern management generally looks to the factories of England and New England for its genesis. But after scouring through old accounting books, Caitlin Rosenthal discovered that Southern planter-capitalists practiced an early form of scientific management. They took meticulous notes, carefully recording daily profits and productivity, and subjected their slaves to experiments and incentive strategies comprised of rewards and brutal punishment. Challenging the traditional depiction of slavery as a barrier to innovation, Accounting for Slavery shows how elite planters turned their power over enslaved people into a productivity advantage. The result is a groundbreaking investigation of business practices in Southern and West Indian plantations and an essential contribution to our understanding of slavery's relationship with capitalism.

  Informed by years of research and on-the-ground reporting, Schools That Succeed is Karin Chenoweth's most inspiring and compelling book yet—an essential listen for educators who seek to break the stubborn connection between academic achievement and socioeconomic status. 
   
   
    
  Chenoweth draws on her decade-long journey into neighborhood schools where low-income students and students of color are learning at unexpectedly high levels to reveal a key ingredient to their success: in one way or another, their leaders have confronted the traditional ways that schools are organized and have adopted new systems, all focused on improvement. In vivid profiles of once-embattled schools, Chenoweth shows how school leaders doggedly and patiently reorganized internal systems in order to prioritize teaching and learning, resulting in improved outcomes that in many cases exceeded statewide averages. 
   
   
   
  From how they use time to how they use money, schools that succeed combine a deep belief in the capacity of their students to achieve with deliberate systems focused on student needs. As a result, they create vibrant places "where teachers want to teach and students want to learn."

  The Soviet Famine of 1932-1933 -...

  The Soviet famine of 1932-1933, one of the most devastating events in Soviet history, can be traced back to the aggressive agricultural policies enforced under Joseph Stalin’s leadership. The roots of the famine lay in the drastic changes to agriculture during the late 1920s and early 1930s, particularly the forced collectivization campaign, which aimed to reshape the entire agricultural sector to fit the needs of the Soviet state. This chapter explores the key policies that set the stage for the disaster that would unfold in the early 1930s. 
  The first step towards the famine was the rise of collectivization, a policy introduced by Stalin to consolidate individual farms into large, state-controlled collective farms. The goal was to increase agricultural productivity and provide the state with a surplus of grain to fuel industrialization. However, this policy met with widespread resistance from peasants who feared losing their land and livelihood. In response, the Soviet government resorted to violent measures to force peasants to join collective farms, including the execution or deportation of so-called "kulaks"—wealthier peasants—whom the regime labeled as class enemies. 
  Alongside collectivization, Stalin’s government implemented harsh grain procurement quotas. These quotas demanded that peasants surrender large portions of their harvest to the state at low prices, which were often below the cost of production. The policy was particularly detrimental to regions with fertile land, where the government set even higher quotas to maximize exports, often at the expense of local populations. The pressure to meet these quotas, combined with the challenges of collectivized farming, led to a dramatic reduction in food available for local consumption.
