Sinopsis

In "Atlas Struggled," Sophia Blackwell delivers a hilarious and scathing takedown of Ayn Rand, the failed screenwriter who somehow convinced generations of insecure men that being selfish isn't just acceptable—it's the highest moral virtue.With her signature blend of merciless mockery and genuine insight, Blackwell dissects Rand's life and philosophy, revealing how a Russian immigrant with a persecution complex created a "philosophical" system that's really just elaborate justification for being terrible to other people. You'll discover:
 
How Rand abandoned her own children while writing a 1,000-page novel about the evils of "moochers"
 
Why "Atlas Shrugged" features a 60-page monologue that's essentially "me first!" dressed up in fancy language
 
How Rand created a cult of personality while claiming to champion individualism
 
Why her most devoted follower, Alan Greenspan, helped crash the global economy by applying her ideas
 
The bizarre psychology that makes Objectivism irresistible to mediocre men who want to feel special without doing anything special
 
Whether you're a recovering Objectivist, someone who's been forced to debate a Rand enthusiast, or just enjoy watching bad ideas get the roasting they deserve, this book provides the perfect antidote to Rand's toxic philosophy. Blackwell doesn't just explain why Rand's ideas are wrong—she shows how they've poisoned our politics, economics, and culture for decades.By the end, you'll understand why a philosophy that claims to champion human flourishing has created so much human suffering—and you'll be equipped with the intellectual ammunition to fight back against Rand's continuing influence.

    The history of African-Americans has been complicated and controversial. While some will fight against racism, others deny the severity of it throughout the ages. Whether or not the issue is as serious as it used to be, is a separate topic for debate. 
    In this guide, you will not read much about opinions but about facts. Society has come a long way since the inauguration of slavery and suppression of the minority in the United States. As leaders stood up and laws have been adjusted one by one, more freedoms have been secured to what nowadays constitutes about 10-20% of the population. Whether it’s enough, is another question that divides political enthusiasts. 
    You will learn more about the first slavery, the rise of the cotton market in the southern states, the abolitionism of slavery, the separation, and individuals like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X who have made a significant impact on the common perspective on these issues. Many things have changed over the past two centuries. Let’s find out what.

    Miriam Thaggert illuminates the stories of African American women as passengers and as workers on the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century railroad. As Jim Crow laws became more prevalent and forced Black Americans to "ride Jim Crow" on the rails, the train compartment became a contested space of leisure and work. Riding Jane Crow examines four instances of Black female railroad travel: the travel narratives of Black female intellectuals such as Anna Julia Cooper and Mary Church Terrell; Black middle-class women who sued to ride in first class "ladies' cars"; Black women railroad food vendors; and Black maids on Pullman trains. Thaggert argues that the railroad represented a technological advancement that was entwined with African American attempts to secure social progress. Black women's experiences on or near the railroad illustrate how American technological progress has often meant their ejection or displacement; thus, it is the Black woman who most fully measures the success of American freedom and privilege, or "progress," through her travel experiences.
