  A Tyranny for the Good of Its...

  Asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us. An asset manager's traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through "stakeholder capitalism," the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the company. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefiting an amorphous group of non-investors. 
   
   
   
  This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheep's clothing. "ESG" defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are rebranding—shifting their terminology to conceal their intent. A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims exposes how these elites have pursued—and will continue to pursue—their ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.

  Expressly Human - Decoding The...

  Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
   
   
    
  Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
   
   
    
  Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

  The Lost World of Byzantium

  The acclaimed author of Byzantium and the Crusades "offers a fresh take on this fabled but hidden civilization" across eleven centuries of history (Colin Wells). 
   
   
    
  For more than a millennium, the Byzantine Empire presided over the juncture between East and West, as well as the transition from the classical to the modern world. Rather than recounting the standard chronology of emperors and battles, leading Byzantium scholar Jonathan Harris focuses on a succession of archetypal figures, families, places, and events. 
   
   
    
  Harris's introduction presents a civilization rich in contrasts, combining orthodox Christianity with paganism, and classical Greek learning with Roman power. Though frequently assailed by numerous armies, Byzantium survived by dint of its unorthodox foreign policy. Over time, its sumptuous art and architecture flourished, helping to establish a deep sense of Byzantine identity in its people. 
   
   
    
  Synthesizing a wealth of sources to cover all major aspects of the empire's social, political, military, religious, cultural, and artistic history, Harris's study illuminates the heart of Byzantine civilization and explores its remarkable and lasting influence on the modern world.
