  Designed to Fail - How Modern...

  What if the systems we rely on don’t just fail to solve societal problems, but are designed to perpetuate them? If the very things that make life meaningful—well-being, human connection, and stability—are sacrificed to uphold fragile economic structures, is life within these systems truly worth living? When health declines, relationships fracture, and communities dissolve, what remains? 
  Uncovering the hidden mechanics of the crisis economy, this book reveals how manufactured crises fuel economic growth, turning fear, division, and instability into the most valuable commodities. It explores how industries sustain themselves not by solving problems, but by ensuring they never truly disappear. From the processed food industry to digital isolation, media-driven polarization, and pharmaceutical dependence, systemic instability isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of the modern economic model. 
  Beyond exposing the problem, this book asks whether an alternative is possible. Can ethical industry scale without being consumed by the system it seeks to challenge? How can modern technologies like AI and blockchain be harnessed to ensure integrity? Can individuals reclaim autonomy in a world designed to keep them in a perpetual state of anger and uncertainty? And if ethical industry is achievable, can it meaningfully reduce the suffering embedded in the systems that sustain it, or is profit through human hardship an unavoidable reality? 
  This book doesn’t just expose these systems—it challenges the individual to look within, reclaim their agency, and recognize their ability to chip away at the structures of suffering, generating small but powerful ripples of positive change that may one day shape a brighter future. 
  For those seeking to understand the quiet, systemic degeneration of modern societies, this book is your starting point.

  Anubis - Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

  Anubis is among the most recognizable gods of ancient Egypt. Is Anubis a relic of the past, or is he actively venerated now? Author Charlie Larson, a longtime priest and devotee of Anubis, answers these questions and more. Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Anubis's domain extends beyond death, however; he is also a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. He is as modern as he is ancient—appearing in comic books, video games, and in Neil Gaiman's book American Gods and its television adaptation. 
   
   
    
  Anubis was among the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. It's widely believed that his image is among the two canines found on the tarot Moon card. 
   
   
    
  Long overshadowed, at least in books, by Egyptian goddesses such as Isis and Sekhmet, Larson's book focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. His book features history and mythology but is also a practical guide to working with Anubis now. It features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers/invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the listener on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, exploring his various facets.

  Railroad Robber Barons The: The...

  The Gilded Age and the dawn of the 20th century are often remembered as an era full of monopolies, trusts, and economic giants in heavy industries like oil and steel. Men like Andrew Carnegie built empires like Carnegie Steel, and financiers like J.P. Morgan merged and consolidated them. The era also made names like Astor, Cooke, and Vanderbilt instantly recognizable across the globe. Over time, the unfathomable wealth generated by the businesses made the individuals on top incredibly rich, and that in turn led to immense criticism and an infamous epithet used to rail against them: robber barons.  
  	Dozens of men were called “robber barons”, and the industrial might wielded by some of these men in the late 19th century directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the “trust buster”, and there has since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the “robber barons” and even took issue with the name. Libertarian writer John Stossel argued, “They weren't robbers, because they didn't steal from anyone, and they weren't barons - they were born poor...” Ironically, one of America’s most famous robber barons, Andrew Carnegie, epitomized the American Dream, migrating with his poor family to America in the mid-19th century and rising to the top of the business world in his adopted country. And like Carnegie, railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt set a precedent of sorts with his philanthropy, most notably his gift to Vanderbilt University, which bears his name. Similarly, the West Coast's most famous railroad mogul became Leland Stanford, who also bequeathed a prestigious university after making it to the top of the industry.
