Douglas Murray, #1 international bestselling author and renowned cultural commentator, confronts arguably the most pressing question of our time: Why are Western supporters of Palestine unwittingly aligning with an evil empire? The campus left frames the violent hostilities as white colonialists committing genocide. Yet only a third of Israelis are Ashkenazi Jews of European ancestry. Murray argues that the conflict is not a simple tale of oppressor versus oppressed, but a clash between a thriving multi-racial democracy and a death cult bent on its destruction.

Returned to the Earth of 2037 by the Firstborn, mysterious beings of almost limitless technological prowess, Bisesa Dutt is haunted by the memories of her five years spent on the strange alternate Earth called Mir, a jigsaw-puzzle world made up of lands and people cut out of different eras of Earth's history.

I am only continuing the series because, for the moment it's included with my audible subscription. Some fascist/left propaganda, but tolerable. Some interesting premises... not thrilled about the story.

While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don’t fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or return to FDR’s Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

It's disquieting.
Revisado: 08-03-23
I seldom review the books I have finished, but I was so concerned that no one had said anything... that I thought I had better give a proper description.
This book is overflowing with libelous claims against several deceased intellectuals, includes edited, out of context quotations, inappropriate and misleading adjectives, curiosly misattributed ideological affiliations, misrepresented events, inverted timelines, and neglected historical consequences.
In short, it's a blatant, four hour hit piece. I hope others will check into the people and events he is talking about... the author even mentions the proliferation of websites and articles contradicting his narrative, as though those are some sinister and subtle proof of his case. It should occur to most readers that those sites exist in such numbers simply because they are dealing with ideas more consistent with reality than those given by the author.
I am still trying to reconcile to myself the amount of respect I fear I have lost for the man who recommended it to me. It is most unfortunate.

In the 1960s and early '70s, the most prominent, vocal cultural movement was the New Left: a movement that condemned America and everything it stood for: individualism, material wealth, science, technology, capitalism.

The recording occasionally repeats as the reader gave a second shot to certain lines with which she was dissatisfied. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyable.

The original, never-before-published lectures on Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, by Nathaniel Branden, with a foreword by Barbara Branden and an epilogue by Dr. Branden. These lectures systematized Rand's philosophy for the first time and created a philosophical movement.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

It remains unclear why this is considered so distinguished a work, but still worth hearing. Vonnegut always ensures as much.

Scott Adams was one of the earliest public figures to predict Donald Trump’s election. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a lucky clown, but Adams - best known as “the guy who created Dilbert” - recognized a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation. We’re hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason, and Trump knew exactly which emotional buttons to push. The point isn’t whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Adams goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any setting - the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs.

Hayek gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the "errors of socialism." Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the "fatal conceit" the idea that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes."

Great book, audio varied.
Revisado: 06-30-17
Audio recording jumps in a few places. Other than that, the work is quite detailed in way of theory and history. Hayek presents many arguments I would not have seen the importance of without his thorough explanation. It is, however, even when considering the substantial gap between publication and present a bit lacking in contemporary examinations.
