  Capitalism and Inequality -...

  Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
  Inequality in capitalist societies can be understood in several forms: wealth inequality, income inequality, and social inequality. Wealth inequality refers to the uneven distribution of assets like property, stocks, and savings, where a small percentage of the population controls a large share of the wealth. Income inequality, on the other hand, concerns the differences in wages and salaries among workers, managers, and capital owners. Social inequality arises from disparities in access to resources like education, healthcare, and housing, which are often shaped by economic factors. 
  At the heart of capitalist inequality is the idea that economic success is determined by individual effort, entrepreneurship, and market performance. While this promotes competition and innovation, it also leads to stark divides between the wealthy and the poor. Those who control capital—such as land, factories, or intellectual property—are in a position to accumulate wealth far faster than those who rely solely on their labor. This uneven accumulation of wealth deepens the divide between rich and poor, creating a cycle where the wealthy continue to grow their resources, while those at the bottom struggle to access basic needs.

  According to Jyoti Bawa's self-statement, the discourse recorded in this book is the result of debates between Amit and her, as well as some debates she had within herself. Amit was her companion—for the world, he was. Physically, he is no longer present, but for her, he remains with her until her last breath. Many times, she has been accused of writing against women. However, she asserts that she is not against anyone or any relationship. Through her writing, she has come to realize that no matter how much one tries, the marks imprinted on a woman's body always narrate a story of their own.

  Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
   
   
   
  So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
   
   
   
  In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
   
   
   
  Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

  The Ballycotton Job - An...

  A 'sensational affair.. carried out with great audacity' - New York Times. An astonishing act of piracy, the capture of the British war ship, the Upnor changed the course of Ireland's Civil War. Flawless in its planning and execution, while Winston Churchill remarked on Irish 'genius for conspiracy', a furious Michael Collins accused the British of deliberately arming his enemies. Indeed, it's highly likely that the bullet that killed him originated in the Upnor.
  The Ballycotton Job brings this riveting story to life, its cast of disparate characters and strands of adventure beautifully woven together. This book sees events leading up to the capture as well as the consequences of the Upnor seizure discussed in detail. Based on years of archival research, it tells a unique story of both sides, Irish and British. The book's fast-paced narrative is enlivened by dialogue and details obtained from interviews with participants.
  Ireland teetered on the verge of civil war, the IRA splitting into anti-Treaty and pro-Treaty stance, Michael Collins and the Provisional Government on the pro-Treaty side. Cork's Sean O'Hegarty, the local anti-Treaty IRA leader, prevented Collins' National Army from entering the city. As the British evacuated soldiers and equipment back to England, O'Hegarty came up with a brilliant plan to capture the munitions en route. Commandeering a tugboat from the Royal Navy base at Queenstown/Cobh, they sped out of the fortified harbour on a mission. Simultaneously, over eighty trucks and lorries were hijacked all across Cork, leaving citizens mystified as to what was going on.
  In a clever ruse, the IRA squad captured arms ship Upnor, bringing it into the small port of Ballycotton. The village, now under the control of IRA fighters, witnessed the unloading of weaponry onto waiting lorries then driven off to secret arms dumps throughout Cork. O'Hegarty's men seized eighty tons of arms, subsequently distributed to southern IRA divisions during the Civil War. This audacious act of piracy caused a sensation. A field day for the newspapers, The Irish Independent called it 'an amazing exploit'; The Times 'a clever and daring coup'.
