You didn’t create it. You didn’t agree to it. But it controls your life. This is the story of credit, not as a convenience, but as a control system. Behind every mortgage denial, sky-high car loan, or job rejection, there’s a silent judge pulling the strings: your credit score. And it doesn’t just follow you. It defines you. In this book, JJ breaks open the black box. You’ll see how private companies like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion turned your financial behavior into a commodity.

You can tell a great deal about the modern world by turning an everyday object over in your hands and reading the small print. A phone case, a kettle, a child’s toy, a set of headphones, a pack of socks, a kitchen timer, a car part, a rechargeable torch, a cable, a cheap drill, a Christmas decoration, a novelty mug, a watch strap, a hairdryer. The range is so ordinary that it becomes invisible. We barely register it anymore.

In Economic Reality delivers a clear, no-nonsense guide to how the world actually works—not how we wish it worked. Inspired by the tradition of Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics, this book strips away ideology, jargon, and comforting myths to reveal the core principles that govern scarcity, incentives, trade, and human behavior.

Klickzahlen, Fitnesstracker, Bestsellerlisten, Politikerrankings: Unsere Gesellschaft ist besessen von Scores. Der Philosoph C. Thi Nguyen deckt auf, wie Scores zu einem der prägendsten Werkzeuge unserer Zeit geworden sind – und warum wir dringend ihre Wirkungsweise verstehen müssen. Nguyen demonstriert an lebensnahen Beispielen, dass diese scheinbar harmlosen Zahlen uns tatsächlich dazu verleiten, fremde Werte unhinterfragt zu übernehmen. Wenn aber in unserer Beziehung zu unserer Gesundheit, unseren Jobs oder Lieblingsbeschäftigungen nur noch Scores zählen, verarmt unser Leben.

Across America’s backroads, fields once plowed by calloused hands stand overgrown. Fence posts lean where generations once braced against the wind. Homesteads that echoed with cattle, hymns, and supper-time laughter now sit quiet beneath blinking red towers of green-energy deals, foreign investors, and promises that never came true.

In Why Are Health Disparities Everyone's Problem? Dr. Lisa Cooper shows how we can work together to eliminate the injustices that plague our health care system and society. The book follows Cooper's journey from her childhood in Liberia, West Africa, to her thirty-year career working first as a clinician and then as a health equity researcher at Johns Hopkins University. Drawing on her experiences, it explores how differences in communication and the quality of relationships affect health outcomes.

Make pricing problems a thing of the past. You have a fantastic product that customers love, but you are struggling to monetize it properly.

In The 100-Page Subscription Pricing Book, Felix Mörée shows founders, executives, and professionals like you how to unlock your product’s full potential.

Em sua estreia na dramaturgia, Dani Balbi traz ao público um texto marcado pela urgência e pela força. Mãe, preta, reincidente põe em cena a violência contra a população periférica brasileira a partir de um invejável manejo cênico. É dessa maneira que a obra se constrói através de camadas múltiplas: a violência dos fatos é construída a partir da violência presente nas palavras, nas marcações teatrais e nas rubricas.

To end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and facts. For over a century, the primary Christian ministry model for the un­housed in North America has been gospel rescue missions that offer shelter and food but prioritize evangelism over proven solutions. This approach often perpetuates homelessness rather than ending it.

Diffidate di chi propone soluzioni facili. Per i problemi seri ne esistono poche e la disuguaglianza economica alle stelle è senz'altro un problema serissimo. Eppure, se non soluzioni, almeno strade giuste da percorrere se ne intravedono rispetto a quelle sbagliate imboccate sin qui. Tra le più ovvie ci sarebbe quella di ripensare il sistema fiscale in modo che torni, come prevede la nostra Costituzione, a chiedere di più a chi ha di più per alleggerire il carico di chi ha di meno. Questo libro prova a raccontarla meglio per far capire che sarebbe nell'interesse di tutti, ricchi compresi.

Two people named Jacob Reed never meant to write an economics book. One teaches AP® Economics. The other hosts an investigative comedy podcast and once mistook Jed Bartlet for his primary source of economic knowledge. Then they discovered that a third “Jacob Reed” had published a trilogy of AI-generated cryptocurrency books under their shared name. This book is their response. In This... Economy?!

In the early 1970s, with the raging Vietnam War, oppression of civil and human rights, and the environment under relentless destruction, young people of America wanted major change—and they got to work. This is the true story of a group of independent, free-spirited youth who rebelled against the system and built a new way to live, creating community and celebrating life while supporting themselves in unique and unconventional ways.

Across thousands of years of human history, most cultures have placed explicit social and moral restrictions on economic growth, with charging interest scorned as benefiting from another's hardship and profit-making as divisive. So how did interest rates, monetary gains, and return on investment come to rule our modern world?

American democracy depends on united support by the largest economic class in the nation—the middle class. But this class faces a crisis of internal division, threatening America’s future. If conflict continues to worsen, it could lead to violence, threatening democracy itself. Since the 1980s, the upper middle class—the affluent group just below the top one percent—has reaped far more benefit from economic growth than the rest of the class. This division has provoked anger among those without the opportunity to move up.

A bold retelling of the story of capitalism that blends fiction and fact to upend 250 years of economic orthodoxy. For a quarter of a millennium, Adam Smith’s invisible hand, ghostly and bloodied, has written the script of our lives. Everyman makes the ethereal ink in which it is etched...
