The End of Affirmative Action - Making America Colorblind Again

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In this groundbreaking book, we make a compelling case against affirmative action, arguing that it is a failed policy that has actually harmed the very people it was intended to help.

Affirmative action is based on the assumption that certain groups of people are inherently disadvantaged and therefore deserve preferential treatment. This assumption is not only false, but it is also harmful. It sends the message that members of these groups are not capable of succeeding on their own and that they need special help in order to get ahead. This is a demeaning and demoralizing message that has no place in a free and just society.

Affirmative action also harms the very people it is intended to help. By giving preferential treatment to members of certain groups, affirmative action creates a system in which these groups are constantly being compared to others. This leads to a sense of resentment and division, and it undermines the goal of creating a truly unified society.

In addition to being unfair and harmful, affirmative action is also unnecessary. There is no evidence that affirmative action has actually helped to level the playing field for historically disadvantaged groups. In fact, there is evidence that it has actually made things worse. For example, a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that affirmative action programs in higher education have led to a decline in the quality of education for all students.

We believe that colorblind justice is the only way to achieve a truly just and equal society. Colorblind justice means judging individuals solely on their merits, without regard to their race, gender, or other group affiliation. This is the only way to ensure that everyone has a fair shot at success.

This book is a call to action for all Americans who believe in colorblind justice. We must work together to end affirmative action and create a society in which everyone is judged solely on their merits.

Reform or Revolution

Rosa Luxemburg

"Reform or Revolution" by Rosa Luxemburg is a seminal work in political theory that explores the fundamental question of whether social change is best achieved through gradual reforms or revolutionary upheavals. Luxemburg critically examines the limitations of reformist approaches within the capitalist system, arguing that true liberation requires a radical transformation of the existing socio-economic order. Through a nuanced analysis of class struggle, imperialism, and the dynamics of capitalism, Luxemburg presents a compelling argument that challenges prevailing notions of incremental change. This work remains a key text for those interested in understanding the complex interplay between reformist and revolutionary strategies in the pursuit of social justice.

Quick Fixes - Drugs in America...

Benjamin Y. Fong

Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? 
 
 
 
Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. 
 
 
 
Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. 
 
 
 
By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?
