    In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the majority? False. - In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. - In America, the unemployment rate is minimal? False.
    In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans?"
    False. - In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False—really false. 
    
    In an excellent investigation, with clear and relevant examples, Michel Desmurget shatters the myth of a beautiful and prosperous America where everyone can succeed as long as they are hardworking and courageous. Taking the opposite view of the current dominant discourse on the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon liberal model, the author writes a disconcerting antithesis, based on American researchers, sociologists and journalists who have studied the failures of the American model and who, for the most part, recommend surprisingly European solutions (universal social security, introduction of a minimum wage indexed to inflation, federalized education, etc.).

    Maxwell Maltz (1889-1975) was a plastic surgeon best known for his bestseller, "Psycho-Cybernetics." In the book, Maltz explains a system of ideas that he thought could improve a person’s self-image and would help that person to live a more successful and fulfilling life. His ideas focus on visualizing one's goals. Maltz believed if a person’s self-image was unhealthy or poor, all of his or her efforts would end in failure. This recording is part of a lecture Maltz gave on Psycho-Cybernetics' key principles.

    The origins of the Mongols trace back to the vast, windswept steppes of Central Asia, a region defined by its harsh climate, open plains, and nomadic peoples. Life on these steppes was shaped by mobility, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. Mongol tribes lived in felt tents called gers, moving with the seasons to find fresh pastures for their livestock. This nomadic lifestyle fostered independence and adaptability, qualities that would later become crucial to their military and political success. 
    Before unification, the Mongol people were fragmented into numerous clans and tribes, each led by its own chieftain. These tribes were frequently engaged in rivalries, blood feuds, and shifting alliances. Despite their divisions, they shared a common language, spiritual beliefs rooted in shamanism, and customs that emphasized loyalty to kin and tribe. Power dynamics among these tribes were in constant flux, with temporary coalitions formed for mutual defense or economic advantage. The steppes were a place of both danger and opportunity, where leadership was earned through skill, strength, and the ability to maintain support among warrior bands. 
    The early history of the Mongols was shaped by interactions with neighboring peoples such as the Tatars, Merkits, and Naimans. These interactions often involved skirmishes, trade, and intermarriage, helping to shape the evolving identity of the Mongol people. External threats and invasions, including incursions by the powerful Jin and Western Xia dynasties of China, exposed the Mongol tribes to more advanced warfare and political systems, which they would later adapt and use to their advantage.
