![City Limits Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America's Highways [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0410/4d/ea85892911487019e2672efacf25cb4d.jpeg) Free Download City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America's Highways (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CDD3QZ4X | 2024 | 10 hours and 25 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 301 MB Author: Megan Kimble Narrator: Megan Kimble An eye-opening investigation into how our ever-expanding urban highways accelerated inequality and fractured communities-and a call for a more just, sustainable path forward. Every major American city has a highway tearing through its center. Seventy years ago, planners sold these highways as progress, essential to our future prosperity. The automobile promised freedom, and highways were going to take us there. Instead, they divided cities, displaced people from their homes, chained us to our cars, and locked us into a high-emissions future. And the more highways we built, the worse traffic got. Nowhere is this more visible than in Texas. In Houston, Dallas, and Austin, residents and activists are fighting against massive, multi-billion-dollar highway expansions that will claim thousands of homes and businesses, entrenching segregation and sprawl. In City Limits, journalist Megan Kimble weaves together the origins of urban highways with the stories of ordinary people impacted by our failed transportation system.  Free Download The Fantasy Economy: Neoliberalism, Inequality, and the Education Reform Movement by Neil Kraus English | October 6, 2023 | ISBN: 1439923701, 143992371X | True EPUB/PDF | 291 pages | 3.3/2 MB Wage stagnation, growing inequality, and even poverty itself have resulted from decades of neoliberal decision making, not the education system, writes Neil Kraus in his urgent call to action, The Fantasy Economy. Kraus claims the idea that both the education system and labor force are chronically deficient was aggressively and incorrectly promoted starting in the Reagan era, when corporate interests and education reformers emphasized education as the exclusive mechanism providing the citizenry with economic opportunity. However, as this critical book reveals, that is a misleading articulation of the economy and education system rooted in the economic self-interests of corporations and the wealthy.
 Free Download Parthasarathi Shome, "The Creation of Poverty and Inequality in India: Exclusion, Isolation, Domination and Extraction" English | ISBN: 1529230381 | 2023 | 344 pages | PDF | 27 MB Poverty in India is intimately connected with caste, untouchability, colonialism and indentured servitude, inseparable from the international experience of slavery and race. Focusing on historical and modern practices, this book goes beyond traditional economic approaches to poverty and demonstrates its genesis in exclusion, isolation, domination and extraction resulting in the removal of human and economic rights. Examining cash and asset transfers, as well as the enhancement of women's rights, primary health and education, it scrutinizes inadequacies in compensatory policies for redressing the balance. This is an original interdisciplinary contribution that offers bold domestic and international policies anchored in human radicalism to eradicate poverty.

Free Download Eve Tuck, "New Approaches to Inequality Research with Youth" English | ISBN: 1032301856 | 2023 | 216 pages | PDF | 1117 KB Those engaging in research to reduce youth inequality know that robust and resonant theories are needed alongside strong methods to study racialization, racism, and the consequences of racial categorization. This edited volume shares contributors' first-person narrations of some of the hard-fought learnings and challenges of breaking from the traditions of their disciplinary fields and finding new and reclaimed ways to think about race. Featuring contributors' narrations of how they came to engage with compelling theories of Blackness, Indigeneity, and/or racialization, and how such theories inform the social science research they do with young people, this timely and consequential text tells a multi-disciplinary story about the careful reading and co-theorizing that is required to refuse universal theories of Blackness, Indigeneity, and racialization.

 Free Download Michael Sonenscher, "Before the Deluge: Public Debt, Inequality, and the Intellectual Origins of the French Revolution" English | 2009 | pages: 432 | ISBN: 0691143269, 069112499X | EPUB | 2,4 mb Ever since the French Revolution, Madame de Pompadour's comment, "Après moi, le déluge" (after me, the deluge), has looked like a callous if accurate prophecy of the political cataclysms that began in 1789. But decades before the Bastille fell, French writers had used the phrase to describe a different kind of selfish recklessness-not toward the flood of revolution but, rather, toward the flood of public debt. In Before the Deluge, Michael Sonenscher examines these fears and the responses to them, and the result is nothing less than a new way of thinking about the intellectual origins of the French Revolution.
