  Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power.
  
  When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that – and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory.
  
  *"Spoiler: That man was me." – Carrie

  In this work, Russell presents his views on the problems of modern society and offers his proposals for a better future. He critiques both capitalism and socialism as inadequate solutions, and instead advocates for a system based on guild socialism, where workers control the means of production and are organized into functional groups. Russell argues that the ultimate goal of society should be the development of the individual, and proposes a society that is organized around individual freedom and fulfillment rather than material wealth. He advocates for the abolition of the wage system and the establishment of a system of economic cooperation and communal ownership. He also discusses the role of education in a free society, arguing that it should be aimed at cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and individuality. Read in English, unabridged.

  Declaration of the Rights of Man...

  The French Revolution did not emerge suddenly but was the result of long-standing tensions within French society. At the heart of these tensions was the Ancien Régime, a rigid social and political system that had governed France for centuries. Under this system, society was divided into three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The First Estate, consisting of the clergy, and the Second Estate, made up of the nobility, enjoyed significant privileges, including exemptions from many taxes. Meanwhile, the Third Estate, which comprised the vast majority of the population, bore the heaviest tax burden despite having little political representation. This deep inequality fueled resentment and set the stage for revolutionary change. 
  Economic struggles further exacerbated the crisis. Throughout the 18th century, France faced mounting financial difficulties due to costly wars, including its involvement in the American Revolution. These expenses left the country with a massive debt, which the government attempted to resolve by increasing taxes on the already overburdened Third Estate. Additionally, poor harvests in the late 1780s led to food shortages and rising bread prices, making daily survival difficult for many commoners. Hunger and economic hardship created widespread unrest, as people began to question a system that seemed indifferent to their suffering. The monarchy, under King Louis XVI, proved incapable of addressing these issues effectively. His lavish spending and reluctance to implement financial reforms only deepened public frustration. 
  While economic and social tensions played a crucial role in the revolution’s origins, the ideas of the Enlightenment provided the ideological foundation for change. Thinkers such as John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Voltaire criticized absolute monarchy and promoted principles of liberty, equality, and individual rights.

  Rabindranath Tagore was born May 7,1861. He was a Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher, social reformer and painter.[2] He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, in 1913 he became the first non-European and lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal". 'Darshan' is considered one of his iconic, seminal works.

  Das Buch untersucht die sozialen Folgen von Arbeitsmarktmarginaliserung für nahe soziale Beziehungen und gesellschaftliche Partizipation in Deutschland. Dabei zeigen Mehrebenenmodelle und Längsschnittanalysen, die individuelle, haushaltsbezogene und regionale sozio-ökonomische Faktoren analysieren, dass finanzielle Schwierigkeiten nur marginal soziale Exklusion erklären können. Vielmehr sind soziale Rollen, Normen und Identität ausschlaggebend für eine Arbeitsmarktmarginalisierung.
