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.

The Second Coming of Napoleon -...

Marcus Draysun

The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, is widely regarded as one of history’s most decisive conflicts. It marked the end of Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign and the beginning of a new European order. However, had the battle played out differently—had Napoleon emerged victorious—France and the world would have been set on an entirely new course. 
A French victory at Waterloo was not an impossibility. Napoleon, despite being outnumbered, was still a military genius who had orchestrated countless triumphs before. His strategy depended on dividing and defeating the Anglo-Allied and Prussian forces separately before they could fully unite. For much of the battle, the French had the upper hand, with their artillery hammering British lines and their cavalry sowing chaos among enemy ranks. 
One key turning point was the delayed arrival of Marshal Grouchy and his troops. Had Grouchy pursued and effectively neutralized the Prussian forces under Blücher, Napoleon would have been able to concentrate his full strength on Wellington’s forces, likely forcing them into retreat. With the British lines collapsing and no reinforcements arriving, the battlefield could have been transformed from a site of French defeat into one of Napoleon’s most remarkable victories.
