"From a pioneer of the regenerative agriculture movement, a memoir-meets-manifesto on betting the farm on a better future for our food, animals, land, local communities, and our climate. Featured in Food and Country, premiering at Sundance 2023. Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered - chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally-run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food. Armed with tenacity, conviction and an outsized tolerance for risk, Harris called his approach "radical traditional" and it made him the pioneer of regenerative agriculture long before the phrase existed. At once an intimate, multi-generational memoir and a microcosm of American agriculture at large, A BOLD RETURN TO GIVING A DAMN offers a pathway back to producing food the right way. At a time when food supply chains are straining, climate-induced catastrophes are playing havoc with harvests, and concern around who owns America's farmland are more prescient than ever, Will Harris urges us to consider where the food we eat really comes from, and to re-connect to the places and people who raise what we eat each day. With keen storytelling, a good dose of irreverence, and an unflinching willingness to speak truth to power, Harris shows us why it's never been more important to know your farmer than now"--

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like—with a new afterword“A clarion call against the American oligarchs . . . powerful.”—The GuardianIt’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy politicians and swing elections? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.

It all adds up to a new way of looking at football, beyond cliches about "e;The Magic of the FA Cup"e;, "e;England's Shock Defeat"e; and "e;Newcastle's New South American Star"e;.No training in economics is needed to read Soccernomics but the reader will come out of it with a better understanding not just of football, but of how economists think and what they know.

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety.

Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere canaddress this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

For et par hundrede år siden sker der noget afgørende i menneskets historie. Lige pludselig bliver vores levealder fordoblet og velstanden stiger eksplosivt. Op til da levede de fleste mennesker gennem tusindvis af år et liv, der kunne sammenlignes med deres forfædre. En landmand i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede havde stort set samme levevilkår som en egyptisk landmand for 5.000 år siden eller en hyrde i Jeriko for 11.000 siden.Hvad forklarer den næsten utænkelig forvandling af livskvaliteten både hvad angår sundhed, rigdom og uddannelse? En ændring, der totalt overgår alt andet siden fremkomsten af homo sapiens.I DA MENNESKEHEDEN BLEV TIL tager den anerkendte økonomiprofessor Oded Galor os med ud på en rejse fra menneskehedens tidlige eksistens og frem til i dag. Han undersøger hvorfor mennesket er den eneste art, som nyder en levestandard, der langt overstiger andre arter. Samtidig går han i dybden med, hvorfor vi alligevel ser så megen ulighed verden over.

Livet er underlagt fysiske og materielle begrænsninger, sådan er livet, sådan er verden. Begrænset og i skarp modsætning til den dominerende myte om ubegrænset vækst. Vi synes imidlertid låst fat i denne myte, i forbrugermentalitetens jernbur. Tidsalderens ideologi. Men vi har selv bygget buret. Skriver Tim Jackson – og bruger store dele af bogen på et videnskabeligt og lidenskabeligt opgør med denne myte.Jackson var i en årrække formand for den britiske Sustainable Development Commission, og han har siden, for Kommissionen i Bryssel udarbejdet mulige scenarier for en umiddelbar fremtid. En af bogens omdrejningspunkter er Robert Kennedys profetiske tale til studenterne i Kansas i 1968. Gennem analyser af så forskellige skikkelser som Thomas Aquinas, Stuart Mill, Hannah Arendt, Wangari Mathai, der startede en gen-beplantning i Østafrika for at reparere på kolonialismen, og Lynn Marquilis, der punkterede myten om evolutionen som survival of the fittest, argumenteres logikken om vækstens nødvendighed i stykker.Tim Jacksons analyser er helt centrale, fordi opgøret med vækstsamfundet er forudsætningen for at løse miljø- og klimaproblemerne.Dette Opgør er i fuld gang: lave eller negative vækstrater er, når vi ser bort fra casino- og finanskapitlernes digitale transaktioner, for længst blevet ”den ny normalitet”. Det amerikansk-genererede lykkeindeks har siden 1970 peget nedad!Verden efter væksten – livet i post-kapitalismens tid er en invitation til at lære og tage ved lære af historien og et forsøg på at formulere en optimistisk form for i morgen i den øjeåbnende bog.

A renowned economic historian traces women's journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at homeA century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed-and the barriers they faced-in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are "e;greedy,"e; paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women's advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic's silver lining.Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.

Den lange mørke nat ved historiens afslutning er nødt til at blive forstået som en enorm mulighed. Den kapitalistiske realismes omsiggribende undertrykkelse betyder, at selv små glimt af politiske og økonomiske muligheder kan få en uproportionelt stor effekt. Den mindste begivenhed kan rive et hul i det grå forhæng, som har markeret handlingsmulighedernes horisont under den kapitalistiske realisme. Fra en situation, hvor intet nogensinde kunne ske, er alting pludselig muligt igen.

Money may be power, but payments are the real superpower.
