Free Download Gerald Epstein, Kent Klineman (Narrator), "Busting the Bankers' Club: Finance for the Rest of Us"
English | ASIN: B0CYQY5CSM | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~13:14:00 | 364 MB
An eye-opening account of the failures of our financial system, the sources of its staying power, and the path to meaningful economic reform.
Bankers brought the global economic system to its knees in 2007 and nearly did the same in 2020. Both times, the US government bailed out the banks and left them in control. How can we end this cycle of trillion-dollar bailouts and make finance work for the rest of us? Busting the Bankers' Club confronts the powerful people and institutions that benefit from our broken financial system-and the struggle to create an alternative.
Drawing from decades of research on the history, economics, and politics of banking, economist Gerald Epstein shows that any meaningful reform will require breaking up this club of politicians, economists, lawyers, and CEOs who sustain the status quo. Thankfully, there are thousands of activists, experts, and public officials who are working to do just that. Clear-eyed and hopeful, Busting the Bankers' Club centers the individuals and groups fighting for a financial system that will better serve the needs of the marginalized and support important transitions to a greener, fairer economy.

Free Download Christian L. Hart, Drew A. Curtis, Justin Price (Narrator), "Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped (APA Life- Tools Series)"
English | ASIN: B0CYDTV3YJ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:36:00 | 264 MB
This book investigates the science behind "big liars"-those rare people who use lies as their principal way of navigating life.
Most people are mostly honest, most of the time. And there aren't that many big, pants-on-fire liars in the population overall. But just a few big liars can have an outsized impact on the people around them-ruining personal relationships, bankrupting businesses, and even, when they attain political power, undermining the fabric of society.
Big Liars explores this small but dangerous group through the lens of psychological science. Fascinating new research gives us insight into the nature of dishonesty and dishonest people, explaining who lies, what types of people lie a lot, how often people lie, how big liars are created, how they operate, how we can recognize them, and how we can avoid being victimized by them. This book has crucial implications for mental health treatment, as well as our efforts to grapple with the effects of big liars-and their big lies-on social movements and society as a whole.

A feminist-forward guide to setting boundaries, assessing safety, and defusing violence by a six-time karate world champion-tools and skills to build confidence, fight back, and live life on your own terms.

As educator, martial artist, movement analyst, somatic therapist, and rape crisis advocate Shihan Michelle explains, "Self-defense doesn't work to prevent assault; it's too late, you're in a fight."

Beyond Self-Defense empowers you to prevent and de-escalate violence without resorting to physical contact. Including personal stories, interactive practices, and reflective prompts, this practical, accessible, and timely handbook teaches you how to craft your own unique protection protocols.

A powerful, unforgettable memoir about a girl who escapes her childhood as a preschool drug dealer in rural Indiana-only to find that no one can really "make it out" until they make peace with where their story began: home. Home, it turns out, is where the war is. It's also where the healing begins. Dana Trent is only a preschooler the first time she uses a razor blade to cut up weed and fill dime bags for her schizophrenic father, King. While King struggles with his unmedicated psychosis, Dana's mother, the Lady, a cold and self-absorbed woman whose personality disorders rule the home, guards large bricks of drugs from the safety of their squalid trailer. But when the Lady impulsively plucks Dana from the Midwest and moves the two of them south, their fresh start results in homelessness and bankruptcy.
