This is the mandate of the Sovereign Worker.

An Autopsy of Urban Collapse. In late September 2013, a road crew buried 150-year-old cobblestones under fresh asphalt on Baldwin Avenue in the Jersey City Heights. Something durable was concealed beneath something disposable, for the convenience of the least permanent users of the road. That institutional habit, the preference for covering failure rather than studying it, is the subject of this audiobook.

NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1970S WAS A CULTURE OF OPEN CORRUPTION. EVERYONE WHO WAS ANYONE WAS IN ON THE GRIFT. Ford to City: Drop Dead. It’s the most famous tabloid headline of all time (with apologies to “Headless Body in Topless Bar”). It also supplied the narrative that came to be accepted as truth regarding the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975—an uncaring, hapless, accidental President Ford abandoning America’s greatest city in its hour of maximum need.

What would it take to rekindle a real enthusiasm for the European project, as opposed to the semi-detached relationship Britain has had with the EU? How do we rebuild trust in our institutions and create a new, 21st century national narrative for Britain? William Waldegrave says ‘Whatever happens about Brexit, Britain is going to change forever.

In Hijacked, authors Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan make a powerful case that America stands at a critical crossroads—facing political dysfunction, educational decay, eroded values, and an alarming loss of civil discourse. Through six foundational pillars—Critical Thinking, Education, Religion and Values, History, Political Systems, and Economic System—they trace how our republic has been quietly undermined from within. This isn’t a partisan rant—it’s a call to reflection and action. What eternal truths have we abandoned?

In Demanding Compassion, Dr. William Scarlett pulls back the curtain on modern medicine—not the glossy version shown in marketing campaigns, but the reality lived by doctors, nurses, and patients every day. With candid honesty and deep conviction, Scarlett challenges both his colleagues and his patients to remember why medicine exists in the first place: to help people heal. This book is both a call to action and a blueprint for change. For burned-out physicians questioning why they ever chose this path, Scarlett offers a reminder of their purpose and the hope that change is possible.

Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, take us on a journey through Africa and Asia to meet an extraordinary array of exceptional women struggling against terrible circumstances.
