    Five speeches from the legendary orators Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Pericles.431 BCE: Pericles’ Funeral Oration is a valedictory and eulogy for the great age of Athenian democracy. Reported by Thucydides, it was given at the first annual public funeral for casualties of the Peloponnesian War. That war ended twenty-seven years later with the democratic government of Athens overthrown by an oligarchy known as The Four Hundred. 324BCE: Two speeches by Alexander the Great, reported by the historian Arrian in his Anabasis. Both speeches are a direct address to his army on embarking on a new campaign. The first was given in Opis, Mesopotamia, when rallying his armies to start a new campaign into Persia. The army took heart, and successfully conquered the Persian Empire, adding it to Alexander’s many existing conquests. The second speech is given after the first campaign is over. This time Alexander is ready to move into the Indian subcontinent. After travelling across the known world, the entire army took the offer to quit fighting and go home. This leaves Alexander understandably upset, and produces history’s most finely worded example of saying “After all I’ve done for you! Well, you can all get stuffed then, you bunch of ingrates. I hope you choke.”In 63BCE, the Cataline Conspiracy shook Rome. It was a deep shock to the Roman system, and risked civil war. Included here are speeches by the Consul Cicero and the only extant speech of Julius Caesar.Cicero’s First Speech is a rabble-rousing, impassioned, and slightly unhinged attack upon Cataline and his associates. It speaks to the outrage of the body politic and the masses.Caesar’s speech is a jurisprudential appeal to create no new laws to punish these crimes. Caesar argues that the republic would be ultimately harmed if they were not punished only under existing laws, as people remember the punishment but not the crime.

    In the fertile valleys along the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, where mist clings to rugged mountains and flows through ancient bamboo forests, the foundations of one of humanity's most enduring civilizations were laid thousands of years ago. "Early Chinese Dynasties: The Dawn of Chinese Civilization" invites readers on a captivating journey through three formative dynasties that shaped the cultural, political, and philosophical landscape of China for millennia to come. 
The semi-legendary Xia Dynasty emerges from the shadows of prehistory as China's first hereditary state, traditionally dated to the third millennium BCE. While archaeological evidence remains elusive, the stories of Yu the Great taming floods and establishing systems of governance provided the foundational mythology for Chinese civilization. Here, we explore both the historical debates surrounding the Xia and the archaeological discoveries at sites like Erlitou that may represent this elusive first dynasty. 
With the Shang Dynasty, we step onto firmer historical ground. From their capital cities at Zhengzhou and later Anyang, Shang kings presided over a sophisticated bronze-working civilization that developed China's earliest known writing system. The oracle bones—animal scapulae and turtle shells inscribed with divination records—offer unprecedented insights into the religious practices, military campaigns, and royal genealogies of this brilliant Bronze Age society. The magnificent ritual bronze vessels they created, with their intricate designs and ceremonial significance, remain among humanity's greatest artistic achievements. 
The Zhou Dynasty—China's longest-lasting royal house—would build upon these foundations while introducing revolutionary concepts that would define Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

    This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. 
 
Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.  
 
Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution-and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. 
 
Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.
