The project became infamous as Universe 25—a chilling lesson about the dangers of comfort without purpose.

Unsere Umwelt wurde von Männern für Männer gestaltet. In Das Patriarchat der Dinge öffnet Rebekka Endler uns die Augen für das am Mann ausgerichtete Design, das uns überall umgibt. Und sie zeigt, welche mitunter lebensgefährlichen Folgen es für Frauen hat. Unsere westliche Medizin ist beispielsweise – mit Ausnahme der Gynäkologie – auf den Mann geeicht: von Diagnoseverfahren und medizinischen Geräten bis hin zur Dosierung von Medikamenten. Aber auch die Dummys für Crashtests haben den männlichen Körper zum Vorbild – und damit das ganze Auto samt Airbags und Sicherheitsgurten.

In The Racial Wealth Gap, Baradaran outlines two tectonic forces that have driven apart the economic fortunes of white and Black families: wealth creation for white Americans, who have been systematically receiving financial subsidies in the century and a half since emancipation, and wealth destruction for Black Americans—either by vigilante violence or by official means, such as allowing Black banks to collapse or building highways through segregated Black communities.

This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track sneakers sold out of the back of an AMC Gremlin. Then it was a quiet storefront in Wausau, Wisconsin. Then it became a catalog, a bible to GenX kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, a powerful tastemaker so authentic that pro athletes swore by it. Sneakerhead culture started here.

At the abolition of the slave trade two centuries ago, the British government paid huge amounts of compensation to slave-owners. Only in 2015 did British taxpayers stop paying off this debt. How is it that slave-owners were paid compensation from our taxes, yet the enslaved and their families were not? Why should the descendants of former slaveowners still benefit from inherited wealth while the successors of the victims of slavery receive nothing, and may have even paid towards the debt of compensation through their taxes?

The story of Jackie Robinson valiantly breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947 is one that most Americans know. But less recognized is the fact that some seventy years earlier, following the Civil War, baseball was tenuously biracial and had the potential for a truly open game. How, then, did the game become so firmly segregated that it required a trailblazer like Robinson? The answer, Ryan A.
