What makes the dream of self-employment so alluring, so pervasive in today's world? Benjamin C. Waterhouse offers a provocative argument: the modern cult of the hustle is a direct consequence of economic failures-bad jobs, stagnant wages, and inequality-since the 1970s. With original research, Waterhouse traces a new narrative history of business in America, populated with vivid characters-from the activists, academics, and work-from-home gurus who hailed business ownership as our economic salvation to the upstarts who took the plunge. Some flourish; some squeak by. Some fail. As Waterhouse shows, the go-it-alone movement that began in the 1970s laid the political and cultural groundwork for today's gig economy and its ethos: everyone should be their own boss. While some people find success in that world, countless others are left bouncing from gig to gig-exploited, underpaid, or conned by get-rich-quick scams. And our politics doesn't know how to respond. Accessible, fast-paced, and eye-opening, One Day I'll Work for Myself offers a fresh, insightful cultural history of the US economy from the perspective of the people within it, asking urgent questions about why we're clinging to old strategies for progress-and at what cost.

"The untold story of how efforts to hold big business accountable changed American capitalism. In this vivid and surprising history, we meet twentieth-century activists, investors, executives, and workers who fought over a simple question: Is the role of the corporation to deliver profits to shareholders, or something more? On one side were ""business statesmen"" who believed corporate largess could solve social problems. On the other were libertarian intellectuals such as Milton Friedman and his oft-forgotten contemporary, Henry Manne, whose theories justified the ruthless tactics of a growing class of corporate raiders. But Kyle Edward Williams reveals that before the ""activist investor"" emerged as a capitalist archetype, Civil Rights groups used a similar playbook for different ends, buying shares to change a company from within. As a rising tide of activists pushed corporations to account for societal harms from napalm to environmental pollution to inequitable hiring, a new idea emerged: that managers could maximize value for society while still turning a maximal profit. This elusive ideal, ""stakeholder capitalism,"" still dominates our headlines today. Williams's necessary history equips us to reconsider democracy's tangled relationship with capitalism.".

"Bestselling author of Who Do We Want to Be gives visionary leaders the tools to create organizations that foster generosity, creativity, and kindness in a chaotic world. We are living in chaotic and contentious times. Tensions between people are reaching dangerously hateful proportions. Margaret Wheatley calls on leaders to resist, to forge communities that protect people from the destructive dynamics so prevalent today and rediscover and reawaken our common humanity. To become what she calls Warriors for the Human Spirit. Pushing back against the prevailing culture of chaos requires leaders to work on themselves and their organizations-to do inner and outer work. Wheatley offers practices to help leaders: Calm the mind and avoid impulsive reactions; Communicate honestly and fearlessly; Become aware of the stories they tell themselves that shape their view of the world; Develop their organization's capacity for self-organizing; Conduct after-action reviews that replace blaming with learning; Leverage diversity to provide more perspectives on the critical problems of today. Sane leadership is the unshakable confidence that people can be generous, creative, and kind. The leader's work, Wheatley insists, is to create the conditions for those capacities to manifest in meaningful work, to establish islands of sanity in these seas of delusion"--

"This book explores the history and impact of an important New Deal program that improved living conditions across Puerto Rico in the wake of destructive hurricanes and the Great Depression, while at the same time resulting in a strengthened colonial relationship between the island and the United States."

"Neoliberalism is widely explained as an affirmative political choice inaugurating a new stage of capitalism, typically made by conservative politicians at the behest of capital. From this perspective, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and the Mont Pèlerin Society provided the intellectual ammunition for the right-wing seizure of the state and the theoretical blueprint for dismantling the institutional and ideological legacy of the New Deal. But what if this story got its cause and effects backwards? What if it was not neoliberalism that ushered in financialization but rather financialization that allowed neoliberalism to take root? Democracy in Default argues that financialization was a tactical response to a political crisis within liberalism, and that financialization in turn supports neoliberal governmental policy that displaces democratic processes and accountability. Both claims move against conventional wisdom, which treats neoliberalism as a response to a crisis of capitalism, and financialization as the offspring of neoliberal deregulation. Judge begins by exploring the ways that liberal political doctrine disavows the problem of distributive conflict-the general condition in which people vie for increasing shares of the social product-and is consequently vulnerable when these conflicts erupt. It then revisits the nature of the crises that produce the turn to financialization to show how finance both responds to renewed conflicts and enacts a fundamental transformation in liberal democratic governance. The second half of the book presents three case studies in which one sees vividly how governing for the people, while never fully realized in capitalist democracies, was radically displaced by the shift to financial market constituencies: the bankruptcy of Stockton, California; the investment strategy of the California Public Employees' Retirement System; and the 2008 financial crisis."
