Title: The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution
Author: H.G. Wells
Narrator: Peter Lerman
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 4 hours 45 minutes
Release date: December 3, 2024
Genres: Social Science
Publisher's Summary:
H. G. Wells, one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers—author of The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man—wrote The Open Conspiracy to express his ideas about how a peaceful and cooperative world community could bring happiness and prosperity to all the inhabitants of the earth. Wars would no longer be fought and hunger would not rear its ugly head. Writing shortly after World War One, he writes of the horrible waste of life and immense suffering that extreme nationalism brought to Europe. He is no fan of Socialism or Communism but neither is he a supporter of unbridled Capitalism. It is an engrossing and compelling argument for peace and prosperity through nations laying down arms and joining forces to move civilization forward. Although The Open Conspiracy did not result in the global movement Wells envisioned, it was part of his broader effort to promote progressive social and political ideas. The book has been interpreted as a precursor to discussions about globalism, world governance, and international cooperation, themes that have become even more relevant in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Title: American Bulk: Essays on Excess
Author: Emily Mester
Narrator: Chloe Cannon
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 7 hours 38 minutes
Release date: November 26, 2024
Genres: Social Science
Publisher's Summary:
What if we explored our relationship to consumption with the same depth and feeling we use to tell stories of great loves and losses? Americans are caught up in bulk. We guiltily watch Amazon boxes pile up on the porch, wade through endless reviews to find the perfect product, and crave the comforting indulgence of a chain restaurant. In American Bulk, Emily Mester intertwines cultural critique and personal history to explore how the things we buy, eat, amass, and discard become an intimate part of our lives. With humor and sharp intellect, she reflects on the joys and anxieties of family Costco trips, how a seasonal stint at Ulta Beauty taught her the insidious art of the sale, and what it means to get Mall Sad. In a nuanced examination of diet culture and fatness, Mester recounts her teenage summer at fat camp and the unexpected liberation she finds there. Finally, she ventures to Storm Lake, Iowa, to reckon with her grandmother's abandoned hoard, excavating the dysfunction that lies at the heart of her family's obsession with stuff. American Bulk introduces listeners to a striking new literary talent from the American heartland, one who dares to ask us to regard consumption not with guilt but with grace and empathy.

Title: We Wanted Workers: Unraveling the Immigration Narrative
Author: George J. Borjas
Narrator: Jim Seybert
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 7 hours 23 minutes
Release date: November 26, 2024
Genres: Social Science
Publisher's Summary:
We are a nation of immigrants, and we have always been concerned about immigration. As early as 1645, the Massachusetts Bay Colony began to prohibit the entry of 'paupers.' Today, however, the notion that immigration is universally beneficial has become pervasive. To many modern economists, immigrants are a trove of much-needed workers who can fill predetermined slots along the proverbial assembly line. But this view of immigration's impact is overly simplified, explains George J. Borjas, a Cuban American, Harvard labor economist. Immigrants are more than just workers—they're people who have lives outside of the factory gates and who may or may not fit the ideal of the country to which they've come to live and work. Like the rest of us, they're protected by social insurance programs, and the choices they make are affected by their social environments. In We Wanted Workers, Borjas shows that, in the grand scheme, immigration has not affected the average American all that much. But it has created winners and losers. The losers tend to be nonmigrant workers who compete for the same jobs as immigrants. And somebody's lower wage is somebody else's higher profit, so those who employ immigrants benefit handsomely. In the end, immigration is mainly just another government redistribution program.
