Global Puppet Masters -...

John Harpoon

In the modern world, understanding the foundations of global influence is essential to comprehend how power operates on the world stage. Power, in this context, refers to the ability of an actor—be it a nation-state, corporation, or non-governmental organization—to shape outcomes and direct events. Global influence manifests through various mechanisms, from economic leverage to cultural dominance, from military might to technological advancement. These power structures are not static; they evolve and adapt, shifting with changing political landscapes, societal developments, and technological innovations. To better understand these complexities, it is vital to define and explore the different types of power that govern global interactions.
The concept of power can be categorized into three primary types: hard power, soft power, and smart power. Hard power is the use of force or coercion, such as military action or economic sanctions, to achieve a desired outcome. It is often associated with traditional methods of exerting influence. Soft power, on the other hand, involves shaping preferences and values through non-coercive means, such as diplomacy, cultural exports, or the appeal of ideologies. Smart power combines both hard and soft power, strategically applying each to achieve desired objectives in a rapidly changing world.
The Decahedron Model is introduced as a comprehensive framework for analyzing global influence. This model identifies ten pillars of power that work together to create a complex web of interconnected global forces. These pillars include political, economic, military, technological, media, cultural, environmental, psychological, strategic, and financial influence. The Decahedron’s unique approach emphasizes that these pillars do not operate in isolation; rather, they interact and reinforce one another, creating a dynamic system where shifts in one pillar can lead to ripple effects throughout the entire global system.

Sex and Race - A History of...

J. A. Rogers

In the Sex and Race series, first published in the 1940s, historian Joel Augustus Rogers questioned the concept of race, the origins of racial differentiation, and the root of the "color problem." Rogers surmised that a large percentage of ethnic differences are the result of sociological factors and in these volumes he gathered what he called "the bran of history"—the uncollected, unexamined history of black people—in the hope that these neglected parts of history would become part of the mainstream body of Western history. Drawing on a vast amount of research, Rogers was attempting to point out the absurdity of racial divisions. Indeed his belief in one race—humanity—precluded the idea of several different ethnic races. The series marshals the data he had collected as evidence to prove his underlying humanistic thesis: that people were one large family without racial boundaries. Self-trained and self-published, Rogers and his work were immensely popular and influential during his day, even cited by Malcolm X. The books are presented here in their original editions.
