Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world of myths, fairy tales and cultural expectations. It has always been so. Because Teresa was raised in a religious cult, she realized this at a very young age. When she decided to leave home, she was excommunicated from the family. With no money in her pocket, no driver's license, no car, no job, no friends and no family, she ventured out from a closed society into the civilian world to make a life for herself. Teresa soon discovered that the world at large insisted upon conformity. She had managed to get over the first major hurdle, the religious indoctrination of her childhood, but that was just the beginning of what has turned out to be an entire lifetime of myth-busting. As a result, she has questioned most of what many people take for granted. Marriage, romance, childbirth, jobs, debt, holidays and the American Dream are all carefully examined. Do you feel frustrated by the lack of options in your life? Does it seem like you've been handed a role to play that doesn't match your true self? Are you questioning the culturally approved ways of doing things? Teresa is here to show you that there are thousands of ways to live your life, many of them taking place simultaneously all over the world. She invites you to follow her irreverent journey and maybe even consider becoming a myth buster yourself. It's a big job and there's plenty of work for everybody.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, religion has been used as a tool of female subjugation. Women have been deemed less worthy than men, have been prevented from owning property, and worse—all in the name of a higher power. In recent decades, women have made progress in terms of equal rights with men, at least in Western democracies, but still, why has the United States never had a female president? Why aren't more women heads of Fortune 500 companies? Why do politicians in the West continue to attack women's reproductive rights? As this volume explores, it would be hard to find a bigger culprit than religion when identifying the last cultural barriers to full gender equality. With topics ranging from the subjugation of women in the Bible to the shame and guilt felt by women due to religious teaching, this volume makes clear that only by rejecting the very system that limits their autonomy will women be fully liberated from its malignant influences, not just in codified law but also in cultural practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progressive economics writer redefines the national conversation about American freedom “Mike Konczal [is] one of our most powerful advocates of financial reform‚ [a] heroic critic of austerity‚ and a huge resource for progressives.”—Paul Krugman Health insurance, student loan debt, retirement security, child care, work-life balance, access to home ownership—these are the issues driving America’s current political debates. And they are all linked, as this brilliant and timely book reveals, by a single question: should we allow the free market to determine our lives? In the tradition of Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine, noted economic commentator Mike Konczal answers this question with a resounding no. Freedom from the Market blends passionate political argument and a bold new take on American history to reveal that, from the earliest days of the republic, Americans have defined freedom as what we keep free from the control of the market. With chapters on the history of the Homestead Act and land ownership, the eight-hour work day and free time, social insurance and Social Security, World War II day cares, Medicare and desegregation, free public colleges, intellectual property, and the public corporation, Konczal shows how citizens have fought to ensure that everyone has access to the conditions that make us free. At a time when millions of Americans—and more and more politicians—are questioning the unregulated free market, Freedom from the Market offers a new narrative, and new intellectual ammunition, for the fight that lies ahead.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE AECHITECT. A Man possessed a piece of woodland near a rock. He cut down trees. Faugh cried a Rook. You fell the trees in which you could have rested. Had you come to me I could have let you know the use of trees. I have a house to build, said the man. Well, said the Rook, sticks and straws can be had -without cutting the trees down, I believe. The man hewed at the rock. Capricorn looked down from above, and grinned oVer his beard as he called his brother goats about him. Ah, ha he said, observe that creature's low comprehension of this glorious rock, with its mosses and its grassy clefts. He cuts it into little squares Look at his piles of little squares, and not even a blade of grass on one of them All the goats bleated at the man in mockery, and Capricorn cried to him, Come up, fellow, and we who are at home among the rocks will teach you something. Pardon me, hoary father, said the man; I have a house to build. The man heaped lime together, and fetched water from a pool in which some geese were swimming. S-s-see, said the Gander, how you splash me, and befoul the water too. What do you want 1 Excuse me, Gaffer Gander, said the man; I have a house to build. A house to build the Gander said. You don't build houses of water, I suppose All the geese hissed at the man for his folly, but he drew the water that he wanted. A pretty mess you're making of it said a Spider to the man when he was stirring up his mortar. House, do you say ? Look at my architecture and compare it with that heap of slime. You would have saved yourself much shame if you had only come to me for an idea. The man dug at the foundations of his house and struck wrath into the hearts of all the moles. Why, one of them ...
