  Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy: Exploring the Evolution of Economic Systems and the Future of Democracy by Joseph A. Schumpeter is a seminal work that examines the dynamics of economic systems and their societal impact. Published in 1942, this influential book introduces the concept of "creative destruction," illustrating how innovation disrupts established industries to drive progress. Schumpeter explores the strengths and vulnerabilities of capitalism, arguing that its success ironically paves the way for its decline through institutional shifts and bureaucratic expansion. He contrasts this with socialism, analyzing its viability as an alternative and its implications for democratic governance. Blending economic theory, political analysis, and historical perspective, this work offers a thought-provoking critique of modern economic and political systems, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the interplay between economics and democracy.

  A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve...

  What if the real power of AI isn't in its speed, data, or dominance but in its ability to serve humanity with conscience, dignity, and sustainability?
  
  In A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve Sustainability, Thami Msubo, a South African thought leader and workplace diplomat bridging shopfloor realities and boardroom decisions, delivers a bold and timely blueprint for aligning artificial intelligence with ethical leadership, measurable outcomes, and the UN SDGs. Inspired by Al pioneer Geoffrey Hinton and heeding Stephen Hawking's stark warning that Al could pose an existential threat to humanity, Msubo introduces four transformative dimensions.
  
  First, the Ethical AI Manifesto, a values-driven vision rooted in Ubuntu, 'I am because we are', which champions human dignity, privacy, shared prosperity, accountability, and others.
  
  Second, the Ubuntu Ethical AI Framework, a practical tool with measurable KPIs that track AI's impact on workplace wellbeing, social inclusion, and long-term sustainability.
  
  Third, the Circle of Evolutionary Learning, a forward-looking model that ensures ethical knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.
  
  Fourth, the Sovereign AI Wealth Fund (SAIWF), an economic justice which ensures that automation royalties are paid back to society and displaced workers are reskilled with dignity.
  
  Written in clear, accessible language, this book makes complex ideas easy to understand and apply. It is for everyone: students, educators, CEOs, policymakers, and concerned citizens. But it makes a powerful appeal to corporations, governments, and multilateral organisations to lead the AI revolution with ethics at its core.
  
  A powerful voice from the Global South, long excluded from Western-centric AI discourse, Msubo positions South Africa as a global torchbearer and beacon of ethical, human-centred innovation. This book is a moral compass for our digital age.

  When it comes to relationships, our society has plenty of expectations. We're supposed to know how to speak up for ourselves in bed, be caring partners, and, of course, love ourselves first. But no one tells us how to actually do all those things, and we are left feeling unsatisfied, confused, and ashamed when we don't measure up. Former Deputy District Attorney Rena Martine was in that position. After rejecting the ideal white-picket fence life, she embarked on a journey to redefine intimacy in a way that felt true. In the years that followed, Rena defied all of society's sexual norms, built a presence as a global women's intimacy coach, and created the intimate life she craved. 
   
   
   
  Now she brings those experiences to you! With no-holds-barred honesty, stories from real-life women, and sparkling humor, The Sex You Want will help you: build a secure relationship with your most important partner—yourself; get in touch with your expectations for relationships so you can date more intentionally; demystify lifestyle practices outside of the heterosexual-monogamous-vanilla box with frank discussions of female sexual fluidity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy; find apps, products, and communities to satisfy any curiosity; and bring deep intimacy and exciting variety into your bedroom and beyond. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Break Free from Limiting Beliefs, Emotional Pain, and Old Patterns Through Hypnotherapy, Timeline Therapy, and NLP 
  You have read the books. You have set the goals. You have tried harder. Yet you still end up right back where you started, wondering what is wrong with you. 
  Nothing is wrong with you. 
  The reason change has not stuck is not a lack of discipline or willpower. It is because you have been trying to fix something at the surface that has its roots much deeper. Research suggests the subconscious drives 95% of your daily behavior. You can't think your way out of a pattern that was never being held by thought. 
  After 22 years in a corporate career and a life-changing layoff, Leo M. Dulay Jr. discovered three tools that finally reached the level where lasting change actually happens. This book hands those tools to you. 
  Inside, you will learn how to: 
  - Stop fighting your own mind by understanding why your most frustrating patterns were once trying to protect you. 
  - Release the root of the pain using timeline therapy to clear the emotional charge behind anger and anxiety. 
  - Quiet your internal anxiety with self-hypnosis scripts you can record in your own voice and use tonight. 
  - Beat your procrastination by addressing the specific fear that is currently hiding underneath the habit. 
  - Finally get yourself unstuck so you can move forward with a clear sense of purpose and feel like yourself. 
  - Rewire your inner language so that new changes hold at the level of identity where they will actually last. 
  You will find a full self-hypnosis script and journaling prompts at the end of every chapter. These are practical tools you can use on your own, starting today. 
  This is not another pep talk about positive thinking. You have already been sold those ideas, and they are not why you are here. This is honest, grounded work that is clear about what these tools can do and respectful of your journey. 
  You are not your past. You are not your patterns.

  Has the US strategy in Ukraine reached an impasse? What is the Russian conduct of military operations? When will the Ukrainian counter-offensive take place? Does Western weaponry really make a difference in Ukraine? Who are the winners of this war? What changes in the world are we witnessing since February 24, 2022? What is the reality of the losses on the Ukrainian and Russian sides? Can Western industry compete with Russian industry in Ukraine? Why is a negotiated solution not being sought? How is our perception of the conflit serving Ukraine?
  
  To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud relies on information from Western intelligence services and American documents that were leaked in April 2023. After the best-sellers Putin, Game Master? and Operation Z, both works praised world-wide, Baud returns to the war in Ukraine by analyzing the facts and nothing but the facts. Whether one is for or against the position of Ukraine, one must nevertheless deal with the field of operations and to analyze what is happening there. This is the only way to find a path to peace—because peace will not come by relying on illusions.
