The task ahead of us is daunting, but the emergence of a new wave of movements focused on climate justice, equality, and solidarity also brings hope.

Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world.

Story
Here we find the roots of growing public resentment. Despite headlines heralding growth and prosperity, most Americans have fallen behind. They’re working harder year upon year not to get ahead but merely to stay apace. For them, the American dream appears to be slipping farther and farther away. Beneath the resentment is something else: The misleading statistics that shape our understanding of reality are steering powerful policymakers to make misguided decisions at the federal, state, and local levels alike. And, for most Americans, the results continue to be catastrophic.

Every breakthrough technology follows an adoption curve. Some climb steadily. Others — the rare, world-altering few — bend sharply upward, compressing decades of change into a single, irreversible surge. In The Bitcoin Breakout, Bastien Sinclair maps Bitcoin’s trajectory using the same economic patterns that explained the rise of electricity, aviation, and the internet — and reveals why Bitcoin’s path is moving faster.

Story
In this important work, Georges Bataille uses his novel economic theory as the basis for an incisive inquiry into the very nature of civilization. He introduces here his concept of the accursed share, the surplus energy that any system, natural or cultural, must expend; it is this expenditure, according to Bataille, that most clearly defines a society. His examples include sacrifice among the Aztecs, potlatch among the Northwest Coast Indians, military conquest in Islam, and Buddhist monasticism in Tibet.

Story
Mensen gebruiken wereldwijd meer dan 160 verschillende munteenheden, elk met hun eigen monopolie binnen de landsgrenzen. De meeste verliezen echter snel aan waarde en zijn buiten hun eigen gebied nauwelijks bruikbaar. Geboren worden in het 'verkeerde' land kan sparen daardoor onnodig moeilijk maken. In Geldnood kijken we naar de geschiedenis van geld door de bris van technologische vooruitgang. Politiek speelt lokaal en tijdelijk een rol, maar uiteindelijk is het technologie die structurele, wereldwijde veranderingen aanjaagt.
