Before and after World War II, a serendipitous confluence of events created a healthy balance between the market and the polity - between the engine of capitalism and the egalitarian ideals of democracy. A global financial system was devised explicitly to allow nations to manage capitalism. Yet this golden era turned out to be lightning in a bottle. From the 1970s on, a power shift occurred, in which financial regulations were rolled back, taxes were cut, inequality worsened, and disheartened voters turned to far-right faux populism. Can democracy find a way to survive?

This book needs to be read by all working class Americans. It lays out our economic woes precisely and exposes the lies of our corporate owned media and corporate owned politicians.
Unlike the book "Why Democracies Fail" it accurately calls out the cause of the USA's ills as runaway power of the Rich. Over time the wealthy have weakened regulations, workers unions, and democracy just as they had done similarly prior New Deal era.
I cannot recommend this book any more strongly!!!

From Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world. Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it, you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be half alive and half dead at the same time?

Would you like to know how the universe works? Scientists have been asking that question for a long time and have found that many of the answers can be found in the study of particle physics, the field that focuses on those impossibly tiny particles with unbelievably strange names - the hadrons and leptons, baryons and mesons, muons and gluons - so mystifying to the rest of us.

Fantastic but Dated
- De Greg en 01-07-15
Not elite, but pretty damn good for the layman who enjoys the topic
Revisado: 12-29-15
He does an above average job with a fascinating subject. They weren't the best lectures ever but if you like particle physics as a layman you will be completely fascinated. The details were not over the top and he didn't sound patronizing or condescending one bit, which was refreshing. I could sense he really intrinsically bought into the goal of educating the layman for the sake of knowledge. I will definitely be back for more great courses media.
