 Recoding America Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better【電子書籍】[ Jennifer Pahlka ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2023＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Named one of Ezra Klein's "Books That Explain Where We Are in 2023," ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Learn more about＜/strong＞ **Jennifer Pahlka's work at recodingamerica.us.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“The book I wish every policymaker would read.”**＜br /＞ **ー**＜strong＞Ezra Klein, ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞A bold call to reexamine how our government operatesーand sometimes fails to＜/strong＞**ー**＜strong＞from President Obama’s former deputy chief technology officer and the founder of Code for America＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Just when we most need our government to workーto decarbonize our infrastructure and economy, to help the vulnerable through a pandemic, to defend ourselves against global threatsーit is faltering. Government at all levels has limped into the digital age, offering online services that can feel even more cumbersome than the paperwork that preceded them and widening the gap between the policy outcomes we intend and what we get.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But it’s not more money or more tech we need. Government is hamstrung by a rigid, industrial-era culture, in which elites dictate policy from on high, disconnected from and too often disdainful of the details of implementation. Lofty goals morph unrecognizably as they cascade through a complex hierarchy. But there is an approach taking hold that keeps pace with today’s world and reclaims government for the people it is supposed to serve. Jennifer Pahlka shows why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,805円 |

 Broken Money Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better【電子書籍】[ Lyn Alden ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of Money＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the reader a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book also takes a distinctively ＜em＞human＜/em＞ look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the modern era, energy abundance and technological enhancements have broadly improved human well-being, but the global monetary system has been slow to keep up. There are over 160 active currencies in the world, each with a local monopoly over its own country, and with little or no acceptance elsewhere. Many of them are rapidly diluted, which continually devalues the savings and the wages of the billions of people who live and work within those jurisdictions. Being born in the "wrong" country makes saving money far harder than it needs to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people and has averaged 13% annualized inflation over the past decade. Egypt cut its currency in half relative to the dollar twice over the past decade, which instantly devalued the savings and wages of its 100 million citizens. Dozens of countries have experienced at least triple-digit year-over-year inflation within the past four decades, including Brazil that outright hyperinflated in the 1990s while it was the fifth most populous country in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Europe and Japan had $18 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds in 2019, right before a wave of inflation wiped their purchasing power away. In 2021, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve dismissed the idea that the sharp rise in the money supply from the pandemic stimulus would lead to price inflation. By 2022, as major inflation emerged, the chairman rapidly changed his outlook and tightened monetary policy so quickly that it led to the failure of some of the largest banks in the country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How did we get to this point? Why isn't our money ＜em＞better＜/em＞ than this in the 21st century? ＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ answers these questions by examining the current mix of technology that has led to these limitations, and then explores emerging technologies that may be able to provide us with a monetary system that is fit for the modern era.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,368円 |
 Is Democracy Failing? A primer for the 21st century【電子書籍】[ Niheer Dasandi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Only four countries around the world do not currently define themselves as democracies. But many more do not fulfil the four basic requirements of democracy: free and fair elections, active participation of citizens in politics, protection of human rights, and the rule of law. Since 2015, far-right and populist politicians have been on the rise throughout the West. Is populism the new face of democracy? Is democracy simply the will of the people? Can any existing government claim to be truly democratic? This captivating, articulate volume explores and interrogates each form of democracy and questions whether they remain fit for purpose today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 453円 |

 Rescue Your Failing Brain Before It's Too Late! Optimize All Hormones. Increase Oxygen and Stimulation. Steady Blood Sugar. Decrease Inflammation. Improve Immunity. Heal Leaky Gut. Detoxifify.【電子書籍】[ J.M. Swartz M.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In this book, “RESCUE YOUR FAILING BRAIN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!” you will learn simple action steps to prevent and reverse brain degeneration. It is easy to ignore subtle signs of mental deterioration. But if you don’t take action now, sooner or later you may end up with serious cognitive issues like my mother, who was found by the neighbors wandering around naked in the middle of the night. Act now, before it is too late! We have been taught to believe that nothing can be done once you get Alzheimer’s disease. If told that you have it, you are counseled to get your affairs in order now while you can still make decisions, because you will not be able to make decisions as the disease progresses. Unfortunately, this advice is still being given out. But, it does not have to be true. There is something that we can do. Alzheimer’s disease is not only preventable, but is also reversible, especially in the early stages. Individualized programs can be developed to specifically address each person’s problem areas. We can identify and address the causes. Many of these causes revolve around diet and lifestyle. Common causes include antibiotic use, prediabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. If no action is taken now, your symptoms will probably progress over time. If you notice that you are losing your memory abilities, think about how long you have noticed this and think how much it has progressed over the last year or over the last two years. This is a clue to how fast the brain degeneration is happening. You may notice that the degeneration is speeding up as time goes on. Next year will be even faster. Waiting until your memory declines even further is the worst thing that you can do. This is the mistake made by standard-of-care health care. If you notice symptoms, you must take matters into your own hands and not depend on your primary-care physician to act. If you are determined to get your brain working better, it won’t be hard. With diligent application of the strategies that you will learn in this book, your brain will reverse gears, bursting out of the sickening downhill slide of memory, mood, cognition, energy, and digestion, and into the recovery of lost abilities. Follow the advice given in this book to stop your brain from degenerating further and to begin to rehabilitate your lost brain health. Learn how to prevent and reverse the progression of dementia and other cognitive problems in yourself and in your loved ones.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,230円 |

And yet all is not well, Richard Florida argues in ＜em＞The New Urban Crisis＜/em＞. Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement in his groundbreaking ＜em＞The Rise of the Creative Class＜/em＞, demonstrates how the same forces that power the growth of the world's superstar cities also generate their vexing challenges: gentrification, unaffordability, segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, many more cities still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing. Our winner-take-all cities are just one manifestation of a profound crisis in today's urbanized knowledge economy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A bracingly original work of research and analysis, ＜em＞The New Urban Crisis＜/em＞ offers a compelling diagnosis of our economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive cities capable of ensuring growth and prosperity for all.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,676円 |

 Joe Biden Tweets During the First Year of His Failing Presidency, Volume One Reversing Trump, while Dividing and Destroying America, January through June 2021【電子書籍】[ Gary F. Zeolla ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated as President of the United States (POTUS) on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, Biden gave glowing remarks about his goal being to unite America and to “Build Back Better.” But in fact, his main goal seems to have been to reverse everything his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, accomplished during his four years as President. Never mind if a policy was benefiting America, if Trump did it, it had to be reversed. This reversal of Trump’s policies did little to unite and benefit America. Instead, Biden’s policies began alienating the half of Americans who supported Trump for those very policies. By reversing Trump’s beneficial policies, Biden began destroying America, as his presidency began to be failing. Biden’s early actions also set the stage for more failures later in his presidency, so it is important to remember them. On the day Biden was inaugurated, he took over the @POTUS account on Twitter and began tweeting profusely. His tweets promoted his “Build Back Better” policies. But with them being a reversal of Trump’s policies, they were often subtle attacks on Trump and his supporters. This two-volume set reproduces Biden’s tweets for the first year of his presidency. It also includes my comments I posted on Twitter in response to his tweets. Some of my comments were added later and reflect later developments. I have also added an occasional “Extended Comment” to provide further context and commentary to some tweets. This Volume One of this two-volume set records all of Biden’s tweets from January 20, 2021 to the end of July 2021. Volume Two will cover his tweets from the beginning of August 2021 to January 20, 2022.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 604円 |

 Combatting Modern Slavery Why Labour Governance is Failing and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Genevieve LeBaron ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Over the last decade, the world’s largest corporations ? from The Coca Cola Company to Amazon, Apple to Unilever ? have taken up the cause of combatting modern slavery. Yet, by most measures, across many sectors and regions, severe labour exploitation continues to soar. Corporate social responsibility is not working. Why?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this landmark book, Genevieve LeBaron lifts the lid on a labour governance regime that is severely flawed and limited. She takes a close-up look at the millions of corporate dollars spent on anti-slavery networks, NGO partnerships, lobbying for new transparency legislation, and investment in social auditing and ethical certification schemes, to show how such efforts serve to bolster corporate growth and legitimacy as well as government reputations, whilst failing to protect the world’s most vulnerable workers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking in global supply chains a new approach is needed; one that confronts corporate power and profits, dismantles exploitative business models, and regulates the booming private industry of accounting firms, social auditors, and consultants that has emerged to ‘monitor’ and ‘enforce’ labour standards. Only worker-driven initiatives that uphold fundamental rights can protect workers in the contemporary global economy and make forced labour a thing of the past.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,648円 |
 Just Giving Why Philanthropy Is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better【電子書籍】[ Rob Reich ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The troubling ethics and politics of philanthropy＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Is philanthropy, by its very nature, a threat to today’s democracy? Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society’s benefit, ＜em＞Just Giving＜/em＞ shows how such generosity not only isn’t the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values and set back aspirations of justice. Big philanthropy is often an exercise of power, the conversion of private assets into public influence. And it is a form of power that is largely unaccountable, often perpetual, and lavishly tax-advantaged. The affluentーand their foundationsーreap vast benefits even as they influence policy without accountability. And small philanthropy, or ordinary charitable giving, can be problematic as well. Charity, it turns out, does surprisingly little to provide for those in need and sometimes worsens inequality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These outcomes are shaped by the policies that define and structure philanthropy. When, how much, and to whom people give is influenced by laws governing everything from the creation of foundations and nonprofits to generous tax exemptions for donations of money and property. Rob Reich asks: What attitude and what policies should democracies have concerning individuals who give money away for public purposes? Philanthropy currently fails democracy in many ways, but Reich argues that it can be redeemed. Differentiating between individual philanthropy and private foundations, the aims of mass giving should be the decentralization of power in the production of public goods, such as the arts, education, and science. For foundations, the goal should be what Reich terms “discovery,” or long-time-horizon innovations that enhance democratic experimentalism. Philanthropy, when properly structured, can play a crucial role in supporting a strong liberal democracy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Just Giving＜/em＞ investigates the ethical and political dimensions of philanthropy and considers how giving might better support democratic values and promote justice.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,418円 |

Born in Singapore to an uneducated mother and an alcoholic, abusive father, Hong grew up in severe poverty. She attended school against her parents' wishes. Despite her intellectual curiosity, she consistently failed her subjects because she couldn't keep up with the fast-paced, competitive, shame-inducing educational style.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hong's eloquent present-tense narration animates scenes of family strife and academic struggle and evokes an astounding range of emotions--commiseration, frustration, and eventually elation. Something is always developing, whether it's the narrator herself or the plot.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Though the memoir charts the author's intellectual growth, it also considers complex family relationships, poverty, Southeast Asian culture and education, disability, and determination. Hong demonstrates, through her own experiences, the pleasures and rewards of scholarship and effective teaching, and her account underscores how ordinary people can have life-changing effects on others.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞To read the full review, visit: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/barbara-hong/failing-up/＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,610円 |

 SLAVE SCHOOLS: Why Are Black Students Held in Bondage of Failing Schools? A Guidebook for Parents and Policymakers【電子書籍】[ Armand A. Fusco Ed.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞SLAVE SCHOOLS WHY ARE BLACK STUDENTS HELD IN BONDAGE OF FAILING (SLAVE) SCHOOLS? Abstract This book is unique because it’s two books in one: Pt I includes all minorities to 2012; Pt II concentrates on black issues between 2012 to 2024 encompassing the racial agenda known as Critical Race Theory based on past slavery. However, it omits white slavery that started sooner, lasted longer and it was cheaper to buy white slaves than black slaves. More striking is that absolutely no mention is made of present-day bondageーslavery--where blacks are required by law to attend failing City Schools. Although there have been national and state reforms to close the achievement gap between blacks and whites none had succeeded. Among the efforts to do so is to eliminate meritocracyーmeasurementsーand without testing there is no gap to measure. Another effort is simply to lower standards which 37 states have done. Furthermore, to hide the problem is introducing a major disruptor that does nothing to improve academic achievement such as the racial agenda that is causing money woes, chaos and conflict among parents and school officials. In its extreme form the concept is infused in every school subject K-12 requiring indoctrination rather than education. That’s the real issue causing the conflict. The problem is vividly illustrated with on the 2022 NAEP results with 75% of students below proficiency in math and 67% below in reading with blacks at 16%. Then followed by test two states, the Connecticut Enigma; and the simple solution with the Mississippi Miracle. Very important is a step-by-step approach to show what blacks can do to bring pressure on school officials and school boards to close or turnaround failing schools by kneeling and striking. When all else fails, then do the school board nightmare.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 547円 |

 Detroit's School Failure By Design! Why Urban Schools Are Failing And How To Fix Them!【電子書籍】[ Roosevelt Williams ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book explains how Detroit earned its reputation as the worst public school system in the country. It is the story of one man’s attempt to teach his students traditional history in a Detroit classroom, and the District’s determination to stop him. Along the way, he was selected by the principal for “special assistance” because of the number of failing grades in his classes. Detroit officials disapproved of his students reading the textbook, preparing outlines as a study tool, his lecturing to students, and his insistence that his students work to pass his classes. That teacher, Roosevelt Williams, the author wrote the book so that the public can understand that urban schools are failing because of the decisions and policies of the school’s administrators.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using the administrative hearing transcripts, the teacher/author exposes the official’s thinking and the tragic consequences on the Detroit students. The Michigan Teacher Tenure Commission, charged with protecting tenured teachers, endorsed the dismissal decision, stating the Detroit Board: “sought to advance the learning process beyond the level of memorization and rote learning prevalent in appellant’s classroom to capture the attention of the students, to engage them in the learning process and to develop higher level thinking skills by the students.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, the author points out a number of shortcomings to help the schools live up to their public responsibilities to the students and community.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 111円 |

 Misguided Advice: How Parenting Trends Are Failing the Next Generation and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Ernestina E. Rogers ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The landscape of modern parenting is littered with well-meaning advice, trends, and fads. But beneath the surface, a troubling reality is emerging: many of these widely accepted practices are doing more harm than good. ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ uncovers the hidden dangers of today's parenting trends and exposes how they are inadvertently hindering the development of our children. It's time to confront these trends head-on and shift our focus to what truly nurtures the next generation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book begins by questioning the foundational beliefs that have shaped popular parenting advice. It explores how social media, well-intentioned parenting experts, and influencers have shaped what it means to be a "good" parent in today's world. Through this lens, it critically examines the consequences of these trends, such as over-scheduling, hyper-competition, and the pressure to constantly entertain or stimulate children. It highlights the subtle ways these practices can erode self-confidence, foster anxiety, and create unrealistic expectations for both parents and children.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rather than offering yet another list of "dos and don'ts," ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ takes a deep, introspective look at the cultural forces that have driven parenting decisions over the past few decades. It shows how societal pressures have led to a shift away from fostering emotional resilience, independence, and critical thinking in children. The book examines how these trends often prioritize short-term comfort over long-term growth, creating a generation ill-equipped to face challenges with confidence and grace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ encourages parents to reevaluate what really matters in raising children. It shifts the conversation from surface-level techniques to the deeper, more meaningful principles that promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The book advocates for a return to foundational parenting practicesーthose that emphasize trust, boundaries, and respect for a child's innate abilities. It teaches that the true goal of parenting is not to shelter children from every difficulty but to guide them in developing the skills they need to thrive in a complex, sometimes harsh world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book identifies several common trends that have gained traction in recent years, only to prove to be counterproductive. It explores the consequences of the overuse of technology and its impact on social skills, attention spans, and emotional regulation. It critiques the push toward constant achievement and the culture of "perfection" that puts undue pressure on children to be exceptional in every area of their lives. ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ challenges the current obsession with academic success at the expense of other critical areas of personal development, such as creativity, resilience, and empathy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ also addresses the impact of these parenting trends on family dynamics. It explores how the pressure to conform to societal standards has strained relationships between parents and children, and between parents themselves. The book provides practical advice for creating a family environment that promotes connection, mutual respect, and shared values, rather than one that is driven by external expectations and cultural norms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ultimately, ＜strong＞"Misguided Advice"＜/strong＞ is not just a critique of current parenting trends; it's a call to action. It urges parents to reclaim their authority, trust their instincts, and make choices based on what truly benefits their children in the long term. The book provides a roadmap for shifting the focus from perfectionism and achievement to the cultivation of character, resilience, and emotional well-being. By rejecting the fleeting trends and returning to time-tested principles, parents can raise a generation that is grounded, capable, and ready to take on the challenges of the future.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,750円 |

 Divided Nations: Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it【電子書籍】[ Ian Goldin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞With rapid globalization, the world is more deeply interconnected than ever before. While this has its advantages, it also brings with it systemic risks that are only just being identified and understood. Rapid urbanization, together with technological leaps, such as the Internet, mean that we are now physically and virtually closer than ever in humanity's history. We face a number of international challenges - climate change, finance, pandemics, cyber security, and migration - which spill over national boundaries. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the UN, the IMF, the World Bank - bodies created in a very different world, more than 60 years ago - are inadequate for the task of managing such risk in the 21st century. Ian Goldin explores whether the answer is to reform the existing structures, or to consider a new and radical approach. By setting out the nature of the problems and the various approaches to global governance, Goldin highlights the challenges that we are to overcome and considers a road map for the future.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 754円 |
