Title: Wealth Supremacy: How the Extractive Economy and the Biased Rules of Capitalism Drive Today’s Crises

Author: Marjorie Kelly

Narrator: Tiffany Williams

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 27 minutes

Release date: September 12, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: - The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. - The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. - The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. - The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. - The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. - The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. - The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.

Title: Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier

Author: Marisa Meltzer

Narrator: Cassandra Medcalf

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 9 minutes

Release date: September 12, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Financial Times Best Book of the Year The “compulsively readable narrative of beauty, business, privilege, and mogul-dom” (The New York Times) that reveals—for the first time—exactly wat happened at Glossier, one of America’s hottest and most consequential startups, and dives deep into the enigmatic, visionary woman responsible for it all. Called “one of the most disruptive brands in beauty” by Forbes, Glossier revolutionized the beauty industry with its sophisticated branding and unique approach to influencer marketing, almost instantly making the company a juggernaut with rabid fans. It also taught a generation of business leaders how to talk to Millennial and Gen Z customers and build a cult following online. At the center of the story lies Emily Weiss, the elusive former Teen Vogue “superintern” on the reality show The Hills turned Into the Gloss beauty blogger who had the vision, guts, and searing ambition needed to launch Glossier. She cannily turned every experience, every meeting into an opportunity to fuel her own personal success. Together with her expensive, signature style and singular vision for the future of consumerism, she could not be stopped. Just how did a girl from suburban Connecticut with no real job experience work her way into the bathrooms and boudoirs of the most influential names in the world and build that access into a 1.9-billion-dollar business? Is she solely responsible for its success? And why, eight years later, at the height of Glossier mania, did she step down? In Glossy, journalist and author Marisa Meltzer combines in-depth interviews with former Glossier employees, investors, and Weiss herself to bring you inside the walls of this fascinating and secretive company. From fundraising to product launches and unconventional hiring practices, Meltzer exposes the inner workings of Glossier’s culture, culminating in the story of Weiss herself. The Devil Wears Prada for the Bad Blood generation, Glossy is not just a gripping portrait of one of the most important business leaders of her generation, but also a chronicle of an era.

Title: The End of Reality: How four billionaires are selling out our future

Author: Jonathan Taplin

Narrator: Jason Culp

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 57 minutes

Release date: September 7, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. A withering takedown of four billionaires (from Andreessen to Zuckerberg) who are selling us fantasies while the world burns. At a time when multiple crises are compounding to create epic inequality, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme - from the metaverse to cryptocurrency, space travel and transhumanism - is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms. In The End of Reality¸ Jonathan Taplin shines a light on the enormous cultural power of Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen, questioning whether we want our society to be run by people who don't like to be hugged or receive blood transfusions to stay young. Will we really want our children anywhere near the metaverse? Do we trust Musk to rule over Mars? Tech monopolies have hollowed out the middle class and brought unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, enormous amounts of taxpayer money are funnelled into dystopian ventures, the benefits of which accrue to billionaires. The End of Reality is both a scathing critique of the warped worldview of a tiny minority and a vision of a truly regenerative economics to build a sustainable society with healthy growth and full employment. ©2023 Jonathan Taplin (P)2023 Penguin Audio

Title: Eli and the Octopus: The CEO Who Tried to Reform One of the World’s Most Notorious Corporations

Author: Matt Garcia

Narrator: Adam Barr

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 28 minutes

Release date: September 5, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

At 8 a.m. on February 3, 1975, Eli Black leapt to his death from the 44th floor of Manhattan's Pan Am building. The immigrant-turned-CEO of United Brands—formerly United Fruit, now Chiquita—Black seemed an embodiment of the American dream. United Brands was transformed under his leadership—from the 'octopus,' a nickname that captured the corrupt power the company had held over Latin American governments, to 'the most socially conscious company in the hemisphere.' How did it all go wrong? Eli and the Octopus traces the rise and fall of a business leader and his influence on the nascent project of corporate social responsibility. Born Menashe Elihu Blachowitz in Poland, Black arrived in New York at the age of three and became a rabbi before entering the business world. Driven by the moral tenets of his faith, he charted a new course in industries known for poor treatment of workers, partnering with labor leaders to improve conditions. But risky investments, economic recession, and a costly wave of natural disasters led Black away from the path of reform and toward corrupt backroom dealing. Matt Garcia presents an unvarnished portrait of Black's complicated legacy. Exploring the limits of corporate social responsibility on American life, Eli and the Octopus offers pointed lessons for those who hope to do good while doing business.

Title: The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism

Author: Clara E. Mattei

Narrator: Susan Ericksen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 26 minutes

Release date: August 29, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity—cuts to wages, fiscal spending, and public benefits—as a path to solvency. Today, an important question remains: What if solvency was never the goal? In The Capital Order, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital—and indeed capitalism—in times of social upheaval from below. Mattei traces modern austerity to its origins in interwar Britain and Italy, revealing how the threat of working-class power in the years after World War I animated a set of top-down economic policies. Where these policies 'succeeded,' relatively speaking, was in their enrichment of certain parties who accumulated power and capital at the expense of labor. Here, Mattei argues, is where the true value of austerity can be observed: its insulation of entrenched privilege and its elimination of all alternatives to capitalism. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material, The Capital Order offers a damning account of the rise of austerity—and of modern economics—at the levers of contemporary political power.
