  The Financial Crisis of 2008 -...

  The financial crisis of 2008 did not erupt overnight. It was the result of years of risky practices, unchecked speculation, and systemic flaws in the global financial system. The road to this crisis began with an unsustainable boom in the housing market that created a false sense of economic prosperity and security. For many Americans, owning a home became not just a dream but an expectation—one fueled by easy credit, low interest rates, and the rise of complex financial products that few truly understood. 
  In the years leading up to the crisis, financial institutions began issuing mortgages to borrowers with poor credit histories, known as subprime borrowers. These loans carried higher interest rates and were often approved without proper verification of income or assets. As more people were granted these loans, demand for housing skyrocketed, driving up home prices and encouraging even more lending. Lenders, seeking higher profits, bundled these risky mortgages into securities and sold them to investors around the world. 
  Wall Street played a major role in escalating the crisis. Investment banks repackaged these mortgages into financial instruments such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). These were sold with high credit ratings, despite being backed by increasingly shaky loans. The belief that housing prices would continue to rise allowed many to ignore the growing risks. Financial institutions, government regulators, and even investors failed to recognize—or chose to overlook—the signs of impending collapse.

  "SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE": 10-MINUTE...

  Daniel Goleman

  In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
   Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
   The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

  The dramatic story of an ingenious man who explained nature and created a country. 
   
   
   
  Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. 
   
   
   
  In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. 
   
   
   
  Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story—from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder—and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.
