The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Imagine if every month the government deposited $1,000 into your bank account, with nothing expected in return. It sounds crazy. But it has become one of the most influential and hotly debated policy ideas of our time. Futurists, radicals, libertarians, socialists, union representatives, feminists, conservatives, Bernie supporters, development economists, childcare workers, welfare recipients, and politicians from India to Finland to Canada to Mexico - all are talking about UBI.

America is in crisis, from the university to the workplace. Toxic ideas first spread by higher education have undermined humanistic values, fueled intolerance, and widened divisions in our larger culture.

Dr. Rosenlicht explains the disastrous outcomes of the for-profit mental health care model. Patients are “clients” and doctors are “providers,” stripping away the humanity and emboldening shifty ethical and legal practices. Perhaps most insidious, the business model paints the mentally ill as people who don’t want help, rather than someone who can’t afford care or even realize they need help because of their illness. Mental illness will touch all of us in some way, if not directly through those we know and love.

What if everything you thought you knew about healthcare was wrong?

From the rise of Big Pharma’s influence to the suppression of alternative medicine, this book reveals how corporate greed, flawed policies, and a pharmaceutical-driven agenda have transformed healthcare into a business that thrives on illness rather than healing. Why are prescription drugs the go-to solution, even when they cause harm? Why is the U.S.

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character.

Cancel culture addresses real harm...and sometimes causes more. It’s time to think this through. In We Will Not Cancel Us, movement mediator adrienne maree brown reframes the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible paths beyond this impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from from its targets. However, brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us?
