Modern Monetary Theory - Bill and Warren's Excellent Adventure

William Mitchell, Warren Mosler

Sinopse

In this book, William Mitchell and Warren Mosler, original proponents of what's come to be known as Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), discuss their perspectives about how MMT has evolved over the last 30 years.
In delightful, entertaining, and informative way, Bill and Warren reminisce about how, from vastly different backgrounds, they came together to develop MMT. They consider the history and personalities of the MMT community, including anecdotal discussions of various academics who took up MMT and who have gone off in their own directions that depart from MMT's core logic.
A very much needed book that provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of the original logic behind 'The MMT Money Story' including the role of coercive taxation, the source of unemployment, the source of the price level, and the imperative of the Job Guarantee as the essence of a progressive society – the essence of Bill and Warren's excellent adventure.
The introduction is written by British academic Phil Armstrong.

The Great Reorganisation -...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Humanity stands at a pivotal moment. For centuries, conflict, inequality, and environmental collapse have defined the systems we rely on. Yet the knowledge, technology, and creativity to evolve beyond these crises already exist. The Great Reorganisation: Evolving Beyond Conflict to Building a Living Future presents a bold, integrative vision for the transformation of civilisation.
This book explores how education, culture, governance, technology, and economy can be realigned to serve life itself. It envisions a world where militaries and conflicts are replaced by global cooperative competitions, where open-source innovation accelerates progress, and where economies measure wealth not in profit but in well-being, equity, and environmental health. Through principles of regenerative design, the book demonstrates how cities, agriculture, energy systems, and finance can operate in harmony with natural ecosystems rather than against them.
At its core, The Great Reorganisation emphasises consciousness. Individual and collective awareness are presented as the foundation of planetary intelligence, enabling humanity to respond to crises with foresight, empathy, and creativity. From cultivating inner resilience to fostering global collaboration, the book provides practical frameworks for integrating mindfulness, ethics, and innovation into every aspect of society.
This work is both a call and a guide: a call to reimagine what is possible, and a guide to implementing the systems, practices, and cultural shifts needed to bring that possibility to life. It offers readers the tools to participate actively in shaping a sustainable, equitable, and vibrant civilisation.

You Should Smile More - How to...

Angelique Bellmer Krembs, Dawn...

From small indignities to unconscious slights, women experience situations at work every day that may seem small or unimportant but that effectively differentiate and exclude them. These are micro-offenses; the small, awkward, or uncomfortable moments that slow-build until the unwelcome environment takes hold and women disengage. 
 
 
 
Situations the authors address range from things like use of the term "girl" versus "woman," watching male colleagues leave work for a social event where women colleagues were left off the invite list, or hearing that a qualified woman shouldn't be offered an assignment because she has small children at home. You Should Smile More shows witnesses, allies, supervisors, and women at every level in their careers how to dismantle everyday gender bias, based upon the latest research, personal accounts, and interviews with professionals, both women and men. 
 
 
 
Widely known as a meme, the title itself is now a call-to-action against the very advice women so frequently hear from male colleagues or bosses. The authors spotlight these all-too-familiar moments, offering realistic strategies every witness can use to confront and productively address them. The information in this book finally advances women in the corporate workplace as equals and advances organizations on the path to creating cultures of true inclusion.

The Public Purpose of Art

Arlene Goldbard

We’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift, a radical change in worldview that will thrust art and culture onto center stage. What does that mean? How will the world be different? What is the rising spirit of the times and how is it being expressed in art? Arlene Goldbard says, “I have this overwhelming image of energy gathering force and taking shape.” She likens this force to a wave and says, “No one masterminds a wave, ordering all the drops of water into line. Many independent forces operate simultaneously – wind, gravity, disturbances of all kinds – and somehow, the wave mounts.” In this dialogue we explore this mounting force and what’s opposing this rolling tide.

Discarding The Mask - The Soul...

Kyle Benjamin Adams

“Kyle Adams’ book contains valuable lessons for leaders in all walks of life. There is so much more to be gained from basketball than money, glory, or even scholarships. Discarding the Mask is a blueprint on how to fully realize these benefits and uplift our communities.” 
Jesse Washington, co-author of I Came as a Shadow, the autobiography of John Thompson. 
Basketball is more than free throws, three-pointers, early practices, and away games. It’s about authenticity and learning how to meet each player where they are. It’s about cultivating a team individually and collectively to show them the value each teammate has — on and off the court. 
Discarding the Mask reveals the man behind every title he carries. The pages of this book uncover remarkable life lessons Kyle Adams learned throughout his tenure coaching women’s basketball. He is an open book as he pens his journey of being a coach and the mentorship he embodies to provide a safe space for student-athletes. He candidly shares his greatest influences, life’s challenges, and the transformational relationships that have shaped him throughout his coaching and leadership journey. Throughout every chapter, you will see the common thread of meaningful connections and the Soul Sacrifices of a Coach as he strives to leave a lasting impact on everyone he engages.
