The cost of living crisis is not just about prices. It’s about distance. Distance between work and security. Distance between decisions and consequences. Distance between the people struggling to stay afloat and the systems shaping their lives. This book is not an attack on capitalism.

In 1987, somebody shoved a flyer into the hand of Peter Staley: Massive AIDS demonstration, it announced. After four years on Wall Street as a closeted gay man, Staley was familiar with the homophobia common on trading floors. He also knew that he was not beyond the reach of HIV, having recently been diagnosed with AIDS-related complex. A week after the protest, Staley found his way to a packed meeting of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power - ACT UP - in the West Village. It would prove to be the best decision he ever made. 

In 1960, Barry Goldwater set forth his brief manifesto in The Conscience of a Conservative. Written at the height of the Cold War and in the wake of America’s greatest experiment with big government, the New Deal, Goldwater’s message was not only remarkable, but radical.

Using the principles he espoused in this concise but powerful book, Goldwater fundamentally altered the political landscape of his day—and ours.
