Summary, Analysis, and Review of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
Please note: This is an analysis and key takeaways of the book and is not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined includes: Summary of the book A review Analysis and key takeaways A detailed "About the Author" section Preview: Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature argues that violence has been decreasing over most of human history. People have innate tendencies towards violence, but they also have innate tendencies towards peace. Historical developments, especially the consolidation of state power and the Enlightenment, have allowed humans to move away from violence, murder, and war, and move towards more peaceful ways of living. The Better Angels of Our Nature is a daring, provocative, and important book. As Pinker himself notes, journalists and pundits generally argue that the world is getting worse and that we live in uniquely dangerous or violent times. The September 11 attacks, the threat of terrorism, and the ongoing wars in the Middle East are presented as evidence of increasing violence, chaos, and instability. Pessimism is seen as realism, and policymakers declare that unprecedented effort is required to avert crises. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Gilboe.

Apple Declined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
Earth is dying. Its resources are contaminated. Plagues have decimated the population to a mere two million - a population number not seen on Earth for 50,000 years. With time running out, Earth sends probes to find suitable planets to move its population to before their impending extinction. Project Arcturus is born. An advance party is sent to the distant world of Arcturus to eliminate the current population. The force does not expect the post-Iron-Age civilization to be any threat at all. On Arcturus peace reigns. The upcoming harvest festival and sacrifice is their foremost issue. As the Arcturians become aware of the impending invasion, they turn to the One that provides all their guidance. Thanks to a decision thousands of years ago, God still walks among them. Earth's plans for an easy conquering of the planet are wrong. Very wrong. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Dzwonkowski.

Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
Since the 1970s, and notwithstanding three recessions, the U.S. economy has soared. Consumers have been treated to a vast array of new products, while the prices of standard goods and services have declined. Companies have also become far more efficient, and the stock market has surged. In short, American capitalism has been a triumph, and it has spread throughout the world. At the same time, argues the former U.S. secretary of labor, Robert B. Reich, the effectiveness of democracy in America has declined. It has grown less responsive to the citizenry, and people are feeling more and more helpless as a result. In Supercapitalism, Reich discusses how capitalism has spilled over into politics, how it threatens democracy, and how citizens both benefit from and lose out because of supercapitalism. ungekürzt.
