Democracy has been the American religion since before the Revolution - from New England town halls to the multicultural democracy of Atlantic pirate ships. But can our current political system, one that seems responsive only to the wealthiest among us and leaves most Americans feeling disengaged, voiceless, and disenfranchised, really be called democratic? And if the tools of our democracy are not working to solve the rising crises we face, how can we - average citizens - make change happen? David Graeber, one of the most influential scholars and activists of his generation, takes listeners on a journey through the idea of democracy.

Inspired by a colleague's involvement in the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964, Wall Street attorney Donald A.

In White Lawyer, Black Power, Jelinek recounts the battles he fought in defense of militant civil rights activists and rural African Americans, risking his career and his life to further the struggle for racial equality.

The classic defense of the inspiration of the Bible, the reliability of Jesus, and the truth of miracles! J.W. McGarvey shows from the Bible and reason that the book of Jonah is historical, rational, logical, and should not be treated as fiction (The folks at the Bible Project need to learn this lesson. . .).

Jennifer Dulski, the head of Groups at Facebook, and former president of Change.org, explains how you can turn your mission into a movement that creates change - whether you're at a startup or a political campaign, at a Fortune 500 company or a local community group, or an intern or a CEO. Anyone can spark change if they believe in the power of taking action, no matter where, or how small, they start. Dulski explains how to create a clear vision, inspire supporters, persuade decision makers, navigate criticism, and more.

In a time of celebrity worship and self-absorption, Judith's well-reasoned and heart-felt appeal is so countercultural as to be revolutionary.

It might just catch on. And wouldn't that be something! This listening experience will change your life and the life of everyone around you!

Traditionalism is the shadowy philosophy that has influenced so much of the twentieth century and beyond: from the far right to the environmental movement, from Alexander Dugin to Prince Charles. It is a new way of seeing the world: one that rejects modernity and instead turns to sacred truth, perennialism and tradition as its guide.
