 David Schoenbrod, "DC Confidential: Inside the Five Tricks of Washington" English | ISBN: 1594039119 | 2017 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB You think you know why our government in Washington is broken, but you really don't. You think it's broken because politicians curry favor with special interests and activists of the Left or Right. There's something to that and it helps explain why these politicians can't find common ground, but it misses the root cause. A half century ago, elected officials in Congress and the White House figured out a new system for enacting laws and spending programs-one that lets them take credit for promising good news while avoiding blame for government producing bad results. With five key tricks, politicians of both parties now avoid accounting to us for what government actually does to us.

Cross and Creation: A Theological Introduction to Origen of Alexandria (Patristic Theology) by Mark E. Therrien English | July 8, 2022 | ISBN: 0813235308 | True PDF | 320 pages | 2.8 MB Even though the theology of Origen of Alexandria has shaped the Christian Tradition in almost every way, the controversies over his legacy have been seemingly endless. One major interpretative trend, for example, has suggested Origen's theology is really akin to the heterodox Gnostics against whom he wrote than the actual teaching of the Gospel, since he (supposedly) had a disdainful attitude towards Creation and ultimately saw little redemptive meaning in the Passion.

It is divided into six main sections:  Elaine Kelly, "Confronting the National in the Musical Past" English | ISBN: 0367591308 | 2020 | 214 pages | PDF | 5 MB This significant volume moves music-historical research in the direction of deconstructing the national grand narratives in music history, of challenging the national paradigm in methodology, and thinking anew about cultural traffic, cultural transfer and cosmopolitanism in the musical past. The chapters of this book confront, or subject to some kind of critique, assumptions about the importance of the national in the musical past. The emphasis, therefore, is not so much on how national culture has been constructed, or how national cultural institutions have influenced musical production, but, rather, on the way the national has been challenged by musical practices or audience reception.  Confronting Mainstream Economics for Overcoming Capitalism English | 2022 | ISBN: 303105850X | 497 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB This book provides analytical arguments that demonstrate the necessity to go beyond not only mainstream economics but also, and especially, the capitalist economy itself. It provides a radical critique of mainstream economics, comparing it to an unscientific form of single thought, and applies this criticism to the specific fields of growth, development, the institutions, defense, or the environment. It targets both neoclassical economics and reformist "soft heterodox" currents, from neoinstitutionalists to neo-Keynesians―including Thomas Piketty or Amartya Sen, among others. In doing so, it rejects Keynes' theories of money, the crisis, and the state. It then offers a Marxist interpretation of the current crisis of capitalism, considering it as a systemic crisis without solutions internal to its own logic and dynamics, and emphasizes the links between this capitalist crisis and imperialist wars, and the destruction of the environment and natural resources by capital. The book concludes by arguing that we must find the necessary theoretical and practical alternatives in a Marxist perspective, advocating for socialist transitions away from the capitalist economy to protect humanity and the environment.  Confidential informant : law enforcement's most valuable tool By John Madinger 2000 | 331 Pages | ISBN: 0849307090 | PDF | 3 MB While television super sleuths like Columbo and Quincy are famous for solving crimes through brilliant deductions and scientific evidence, in reality it is the use of informants that leads to the arrests and convictions of more criminals than any other investigative technique in law enforcement. This book explores the covert and clandestine world of informants -- revealing the secrets of how to find them and make the most out of them, while at the same time, avoiding the pitfalls of dealing with them. It examines all aspects of informant development and management, from the motivation of the informant to the legal problems that accompany the use of informants in criminal cases.
