  How do you value your private data? What about your job? The truth is someone is selling your data, and your job may be among the countless others being lost to AI at record rates. Because of this abuse of technology among many others, most people have lost all agency over their technology, devices, and information. But technologist William Welser IV has a plan to help us regain control.Enter The Story Economy, a guide that provides fresh purchasing power in a world where opportunity feels harder and harder to grasp. Within, Welser outlines the need for an alternative economy where stories can become solutions to overwhelming new problems. His entirely new marketplace allows us to use our stories as currency, putting the data we've voluntarily given to good use—allowing us to purchase goods and services and giving us the power to see exactly where our data is going and to whom.In this exciting and sometimes scary world of AI, Big Tech is using all of its tools against us to create a society in which we're lonely, broke, and lost. We must take back our power and make the technology work for us to close the healthcare, education, and wealth divide—and in the process, foster self-awareness to help us become astute decision-makers and stay ahead of technology. The Story Economy provides the innovative blueprint to get started.

  Oceans of Grain - How American...

  An "incredibly timely" global history journeys from the Ukrainian steppe to the American prairie to show how grain built and toppled the world's largest empires (Financial Times). To understand the rise and fall of empires, we must follow the paths traveled by grain—along rivers, between ports, and across seas. In Oceans of Grain, historian Scott Reynolds Nelson reveals how the struggle to dominate these routes transformed the balance of world power. Early in the nineteenth century, imperial Russia fed much of Europe through the booming port of Odessa, on the Black Sea in Ukraine. But following the US Civil War, tons of American wheat began to flood across the Atlantic, and food prices plummeted. This cheap foreign grain spurred the rise of Germany and Italy, the decline of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans, and the European scramble for empire. It was a crucial factor in the outbreak of the First World War and the Russian Revolution. A powerful new interpretation, Oceans of Grain shows that amid the great powers’ rivalries, there was no greater power than control of grain.“American cotton changed the world in the first half of the nineteenth century, American wheat in its second half. Scott Reynolds Nelson’s globe-spanning exploration of the powers of a humble grain to topple empires, enable industrialization, build cities, and redirect trade flows is the kind of commodity history one wishes for: attentive to politics, connected as well as comparative in perspective, and with a knack for telling details. After reading this fast-paced book, the wars, revolutions, and empires of the nineteenth century will never seem the same.”―Sven Beckert, author of Empire of Cotton

  Harlem Hellfighters The: The...

  The Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army, embody a significant intersection of America’s military history and racial history. Initially raised as the 15th New York (Colored) National Guard and later federalized for World War I, the regiment was "loaned" to the French Army, where it compiled an extraordinary combat record, with a remarkable 191 days on the line and suffering about 1,400 casualties while never yielding its sector. These numbers, often highlighted in museum and official summaries, became a central pillar of the unit’s symbolic influence back home, and the unit’s performance in battle, unique experience under French command, and their triumphant homecoming in 1919 collectively reshaped debates concerning black soldiers’ loyalty, capability, and rights. As Colonel William Hayward famously told journalists, his men “never retire,” a sentiment that both the contemporary press and later unit histories preserved, capturing their combat ethos and the representational burdens they carried as black citizen-soldiers. 
  	At the same time, of course, their service did not immediately undo Jim Crow back home, even as the formation of the regiment was tied to civil rights efforts. Authorized in 1913 and organized in 1916 as New York’s first black National Guard regiment, the 15th drew volunteers from Harlem and beyond and practiced drills in borrowed spaces due to a lack of a finished armory. The regiment’s creation was the product of sustained black civic mobilization in New York and an older tradition of black soldiers that dated to the Civil War. When the United States declared war in April 1917, black leaders and newspapers urged enlistment, often framing service as a path to recognition and citizenship. W.E.B. Du Bois’s 1919 call to “return fighting” distilled that logic into a programmatic slogan.
