A searing, historically rich account of how US policing and punishment have been retrofitted over the last four decades to extract public and private revenues from America’s poorest and most vulnerable communities. Alongside the rise of mass incarceration, a second profound and equally disturbing development has transpired. Since the 1980s, US policing and punishment have been remade into tools for stripping resources from the nation’s most oppressed communities and turning them into public and private revenues. Legal Plunder analyzes this development’s origins, operations, consequences, and the political struggles that it has created. Drawing on historical and contemporary evidence, including original ethnographic research, Joshua Page and Joe Soss examine the predatory dimensions of criminal legal governance to show how practices that criminalize, police, and punish have been retrofitted to siphon resources from subordinated groups, subsidize governments, and generate corporate profits. As tax burdens have declined for the affluent, this financial extraction—now a core function of the country’s sprawling criminal legal apparatus—further compounds race, class, and gender inequalities and injustices. Legal Plunder shows that we can no longer afford to overlook legal plunder or the efforts to dismantle it.Ver livro

Healthcare is one of the most essential pillars of modern society, yet it remains one of the most controversial and deeply flawed systems worldwide. While medical advancements have saved countless lives, the way healthcare is structured and delivered often leaves patients struggling with high costs, limited access, and inconsistent quality of care. The system, which is supposed to heal and protect, frequently feels more like a business prioritizing profit over people. Across the globe, healthcare models vary significantly. Some countries provide universal healthcare, ensuring that all citizens have access to medical services without financial hardship. Others rely on privatized, insurance-based systems that leave many individuals burdened with medical debt or forced to forgo necessary treatments. Regardless of the model, most systems share a common problem—inefficiencies, corruption, and a lack of patient-centered care. One of the most alarming aspects of modern healthcare is its commercialization. In many nations, medical treatment has become a commodity rather than a fundamental human right. Pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and hospital networks have turned healthcare into a multi-trillion-dollar industry, often at the expense of those who need it most. Prescription drug prices skyrocket without justification, insurance policies are riddled with loopholes designed to deny coverage, and hospitals charge exorbitant fees for basic services. Instead of prioritizing patient well-being, financial incentives drive medical decisions, sometimes leading to unnecessary procedures, overprescription of medications, and inequitable access to care.Ver livro
