A timely, provocative expose of our political and business leadership's deep ties to China: a network of people who believe they are doing the right thing--at a great often hidden cost to our society. The past few years have seen a shift in the relations between China and the United States, from enthusiastic economic partners to wary frenemies to open rivals. And China's successful handling of its pandemic will undoubtedly exacerbate this dynamic in the years to come. In America Second, Isaac Stone Fish traces the evolution of this all-important relationship. He makes clear how America's leaders initially welcomed China's entry into the global economy, believing that trade and engagement would lead to a more democratic China. And he explains how, though this belief has proved misguided, our businesspeople and politicians have become too dependent on China to challenge them. America Second exposes a deep web of Chinese influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent

However, when she was six, everything changed: her father was jailed, and the family fell into debt.

A celebration of simple living skills. Not too long ago, handwork skills such as sewing a quilt, crocheting a washcloth, or embroidering a pillowcase were handed down from one generation to the next. Candle- and soap-making, blacksmithing, basket weaving, natural yarn dying, and repurposing were all time-honored traditions that were essential to the farm's microeconomy and long-term success. While many of these traditional skills have been lost to the convenience of today's modern economy, they are still alive and thriving among America's farmers. The FarmMade Essential Skills Book showcases fifty authentic projects from farms all over the country. Hailing from New England, the Deep South, the Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest, each farm-made project represents its region's unique array of raw materials and end products. Revive valuable lost traditions and pave the way for a more independent, sustainable future with The FarmMade Essential Skills Book.
Why a care economy and care-centered politics can influence and reorient such issues as health, the environment, climate, race, inequality, gender, and immigration.This agenda-setting book presents a framework for creating a more just and equitablecare-centered world. Climate change, pandemic events, systemic racism, and deep inequalities have all underscored the centrality of care in our lives. Yet care work is, for the most part, undervalued and exploited. In this book, Robert Gottlieb examines how a care economy and care politics can influence and remake health, climate, and environmental policy, as well as the institutions and practices of daily life. He shows how, through this care-centered politics, we can build an ethics of care and a society of cooperation, sharing, and solidarity. Arguing that care is a form of labor, Gottlieb expands the ways we think about home care, child care, elder care, and other care relationships. He links them to the Green New Deal, Medicare for
The untold story of ever-growing wedge between the financial markets and the real economy, and the unprecedented crises it has caused. The 21st century has produced two major financial crises and many smaller ones in between. The fallout created chaos and disruption for people at all levels of the global economy. Nomi Prins examines the consequences of the unstable economy that caused what she calls the state of Permanent Distortion; a wedge between a funhouse financial realm that thrives even in times of social and political disorder, and a struggling economic one that does not adequately meet the needs of the general population. Through deep reporting and insightful analysis, Prins navigates the critical points in between the two polarities, including how the concept of "free markets" is dead, how a political power shift is bringing in a new world order, why trade wars have only just begun, and why we're in for more civil and social unrest, as a result.

In the bestselling tradition of Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Jim Collins's Good to Great, and Ray Dalio's Principles, the world's most influential consulting firm McKinsey & Company presents a deep dive into how the best CEOs do their jobs based on extensive interviews with today's most successful corporate leaders from iconic companies such as Netflix, JPMorgan Chase, General Motors, and Sony.Being a CEO at any of the world's largest companies is one of the most challenging, mysterious, misunderstood, and important roles in the world today.

Yet even when they reach the position of CEO, very few excel in the role. Thirty percent of Fortune 500 CEOs last fewer than three years, and two out of five new CEOs are perceived to be failing within eighteen months of tak
