  • Bad Things - The Nature and Normative Role of Harm - cover

    Bad Things - The Nature and...

    Bad Things addresses various philosophical questions about the nature and moral relevance of harm. The most basic question is this: under what conditions does an event harm a given individual? Neil Feit focuses primarily on the metaphysics of harm, and he both defends and extends the counterfactual comparative account of harm. On this account, in its most basic form, an act or event harms an individual provided that she would have been better off if it had not occurred. The counterfactual comparative account is widely accepted but also widely criticized. Feit provides detailed and thorough responses to the most challenging objections. He argues that an adequate theory of harm should entail the counterfactual comparative account but also make room for a certain kind plural harm, where two or more events together harm an individual although neither one by itself is harmful. These harmful events are bad things, collectively, even if no single event is itself a bad thing. Feit sets out and defends a detailed account of plural harm, addressing issues about the magnitude and the time of the harm suffered by the victim. The primary focus of the book is on the metaphysics of harm, but issues concerning its normative or moral relevance are addressed.

    This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
     
    This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
     
    -	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
    -	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
    -	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
    -	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
    -	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
    -	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
    -	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
     
    Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.

    In the winter of 1910, the river that brought life to Paris quickly became a force of destruction.  Torrential rainfall saturated the soil, and faulty engineering created a perfect storm of conditions that soon drowned Parisian streets, homes, businesses, and museums. The city seemed to have lost its battle with the elements. Given the Parisians' history of deep-seated social, religious, and political strife, it was questionable whether they could collaborate to confront the crisis. Yet while the sewers, Métro, and electricity failed around them, Parisians of all backgrounds rallied to save the city and one another. Improvising techniques to keep Paris functioning and braving the dangers of collapsing infrastructure and looters, leaders and residents alike answered the call to action. This newfound ability to work together proved a crucial rehearsal for an even graver crisis four years later, when France was plunged into World War I. On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the flood, Jeffrey H. Jackson captures here for the first time the drama and ultimate victory of man over nature.

    The Pocketbook: Soul Survival (Volume One) 
    This isn’t just an audiobook. 
    It’s a survival kit. A love letter. A pocket-sized archive of truth, tenderness, and strategy—read by the one who lived it. 
    In just about an hour, you’ll walk with Chef Lara™ through rooftops, grief, joy, protest signs, and the power of a good affirmation in your back pocket. It’s the kind of listen you can share with your mama, your daughter, your son, your dad. The kind of book that makes you want to pause, talk, and remember your own stories too. 
    Because this is how we survive political warfare. 
    By telling the truth. 
    By carrying softness on purpose. 
    By listening to each other, even when the world gets loud. 
    So come as you are. Walk and listen. And maybe—just maybe—pass it on.
