Ninety percent did not know anything about them and speculated about their lives and ideologies. They pondered and thought of conspiracy theories.

In 2016, writer and filmmaker Ben Howe found himself disillusioned with the religious movement he’d always called home. In the pursuit of electoral victory, many American evangelicals embraced moral relativism and toxic partisanship. Whatever happened to the Moral Majority, who headed to Washington in the ’80s to plant the flag of Christian values? Where were the Christian leaders that emerged from that movement and led the charge against Bill Clinton for his deception and unfaithfulness?

We all have the sense that the American economy - and its government - tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his powerful new book, People, Power, and Profits, a few corporations dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and the government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the interests of workers.

Operations is at the core of service delivery and meeting Customer demands and is usually the first function startup companies create. As a company grows, however, management attention must focus on nonoperational areas, such as sales growth and finance, for good reason.

It’s a perfect meritocracy, where age, gender, race, education, and job history no longer matter.

For millennia, land has been a symbol of wealth and privilege. But the true power of land ownership is even greater than we might think.
