Sinopse

"...offers an eclectic menu of treats that serve up a new and fresh look at a genre we rarely connect directly to the demands of the real world, much less plumb for key lessons about leadership." — ARMY Magazine

In the past decade, heroes and villains spawned from the pages of comic books have upended popular culture and revolutionized the entertainment industry. The narratives weave together a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing storylines, spun across decades, generations, and mediums, forming a complex tapestry that simultaneously captures the imagination and captivates the mind. These stories reveal our own vulnerabilities while casting an ideal to which we aspire. They pull at our deepest emotions and push us to the cusp of reality, and bring us back to Earth with a renewed hope of a better tomorrow. They are an endless source of powerful metaphors to help us learn and develop, then be the best versions of ourselves possible.

Through the lens of the superhero genre, each chapter explores contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, while emphasizing the role of humanity and human nature in our own world.

    Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
    The historical context of mercantilism is deeply intertwined with the Age of Exploration and the rise of powerful nation-states. During this period, European powers such as Spain, Portugal, England, France, and the Netherlands expanded their empires overseas, establishing colonies that served as both sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods. These colonies were central to mercantilist strategies, enabling mother countries to extract wealth and resources while controlling trade to their advantage. This symbiotic relationship between mercantilism and colonial expansion would shape the geopolitical dynamics of the time, fueling rivalries and conflicts between competing empires. 
    Central to mercantilism was the role of government intervention in the economy. Unlike modern free-market principles, mercantilist policies relied heavily on state control to regulate trade and protect domestic industries. Governments imposed tariffs on imported goods, subsidized local production, and established monopolies through chartered companies to ensure economic self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on foreign powers. This top-down approach sought to consolidate economic power within the state, reinforcing the notion that national prosperity and security were interconnected.

    We have experienced a shift in American character: we've become a nation of moochers. Increasingly dependent on the efforts of others over our own, Americans are free to freeload. From the corporate bailouts on Wall Street to the alarming increases in personal default and dependency, from questionable tax exemptions to enormous pension, healthcare, and other entitlement costs, the new moocher culture cuts across lines of class, race, and private and public sectors. And the millions that plan and behave sensibly, only to bail out the profligate? They're angry.Charles Sykes' argument is not against compassion or legitimate charity, but targets the new moocher culture, in which self-reliance and personal responsibility have given way to mass grasping after handouts. A Nation of Moochers is a persuasively argued and entertaining rallying cry for Americans who are tired of playing by the rules and paying for those who don't.
