  How to Make Money - An Ancient...

  Ancient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich. How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. 
   
   
   
  The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round. In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can't buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed. How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from.

  In the Company of Radical Women Writers rediscovers the political commitments and passionate advocacy of seven writers who as young women turned to communism around the Great Depression and, over decades of national crisis, spoke to issues of labor, land, and love in ways that provide thought-provoking guidance for today. Rosemary Hennessy spotlights the courageous lives of women who confronted similar challenges to those we still face: exhausting and unfair labor practices, unrelenting racial injustice, and environmental devastation. 
   
   
   
  As Hennessy shows, the documentary journalism and creative and biographical writings of Marvel Cooke, Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Alice Childress, Josephine Herbst, Meridel Le Sueur, and Muriel Rukeyser recognized that life is sustained across a web of dependencies that we each have a duty to maintain. Their work brought into sharp focus the value and dignity of Black women's domestic work, confronted the destructive myths of land exploitation and white supremacy, and explored ways of knowing attuned to a life-giving erotic energy that spans bodies and relations. In doing so, they expanded the scope of American communism. 
   
   
   
  In the Company of Radical Women Writers reveals their groundbreaking reconceptions of the political and provides bracing inspiration in the ongoing fight for justice.

  When Reality Breaks -...

  When Reality Breaks explores what happens when psychological abuse quietly fractures your sense of self. 
  If you left a relationship knowing something was wrong, yet still doubt your memory, judgment, or reactions, this book is for you. Psychological abuse is often subtle and destabilizing, unfolding through contradiction rather than cruelty, slowly eroding trust in your own perception. 
  This inner conflict is called Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance, the result of prolonged manipulation, emotional invalidation, and distorted responsibility. It affects how you think, feel, and understand yourself, long after the relationship ends. 
  Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this book explains the relational dynamics that disrupt self trust and why healing can feel confusing. You will learn why clarity does not return immediately, how your mind adapted to survive, and how to restore trust in yourself, rebuild boundaries, and reconnect without fear. 
  You are not broken. 
   You were not imagining things. 
   Healing begins with understanding what disrupted you and reclaiming the clarity that was taken from you.
