In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a devastating freefall, wiping out fortunes overnight and igniting a crisis that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin.

With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, following the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and blind faith in an endless boom led to devastation. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the battle over financial influence plays out once again.

This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, human psychology, and the seductive illusion that “this time is different.” It’s about ignored warning signs, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late.

Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—one whose lessons remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.

The “pink tax” has gained widespread recognition in recent years, but what happens when you look at the costs that define a woman’s entire life, especially across racial lines?

In The Double Tax, Harvard researcher Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman summarizes the disparities that women face as they navigate life’s biggest moments. Not only do the numbers reveal that women incur higher costs than men, but also that Black and white women lead vastly different lives, marked by dramatic gaps in job opportunities, salaries, housing costs, child care access and generational wealth. She coins this gap as the “double tax,” the compounded cost of racism and sexism.

Through rigorous research and interviews with women across the country, Opoku-Agyeman calculates the extra money, time and effort that women are expected and forced to pay at every stage of their lives.

While the evidence may be discouraging, The Double Tax offers actionable solutions for how everyday people, local communities and global leaders alike can help relieve women of these costs for good. Only by understanding where the gaps are and where the double tax arises can we begin to even the playing field for all.

“The central argument of Our Dollar, Your Problem—that the greenback’s pre-eminence was never guaranteed and might plausibly be overturned—could hardly be more timely.” —The Economist

Our Dollar, Your Problem argues that America’s currency might not have reached today’s lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck. Drawing in part on his own experiences, including with policymakers and world leaders, Kenneth Rogoff animates the remarkable postwar run of the dollar—how it beat out the Japanese yen, the Soviet ruble, and the euro—and the challenges it faces today from crypto and the Chinese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc.

Americans cannot take for granted that the Pax Dollar era will last indefinitely, not only because many countries are deeply frustrated with the system, but also because overconfidence and arrogance can lead to unforced errors. Rogoff shows how America’s outsized power and exorbitant privilege can spur financial instability—not just abroad but also at home.

For decades, politicians, policymakers, and investors have debated these questions, but the answers have eluded them. In this groundbreaking book, Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time who anticipated the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2010-12 European debt crisis, shares for the first time his detailed explanation of what he calls the “Big Debt Cycle.”

Understanding this cycle is critical for helping policymakers, investors, and the general public grasp where we are and where we are headed with the debt issue. Dalio’s model points toward surprisingly straightforward solutions for dealing with the debt problems that the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China face today.

How Countries Go Broke also shows how these debt problems are related to the other forces—political within countries, geopolitical between countries, natural (droughts, floods, and pandemics), and technological (most importantly, AI)—that together are causing what Dalio calls the “Overall Big Cycle” changes in the world order.

By reading this book, you will improve your understanding of what’s happening now and what to do about it.

Do you feel called to share your story, inspire others and make a greater impact in the world? If so, you are what we call a “mission-driven messenger.” The challenge however is that we live in a world that’s saturated with information and chock-full of “influencers,” making it nearly impossible to stand out from the crowd. Everyone from students to CEOs are scrambling for likes, views, followers, and the ever-elusive “viral breakthrough.”

The painful truth is that instead of changing the world, it’s easy to become a “best kept secret” who is overlooked and overshadowed by people who don’t have nearly as much credibility as you but who gain more attention simply because they are better at marketing. It’s time to change that.

In Wealthy and Well-Known, industry-leading personal brand strategists Rory Vaden and AJ Vaden open the expert playbook they’ve used to help thousands of America’s most trusted voices and top personalities expand their reach and grow their revenues by implementing a system that has laser focus. Their proven data-driven method will help you:

• Understand what a personal brand really is (and what it’s not)
• Examine why most personal brand efforts fail and why perhaps you haven’t yet “broken through”
• Discover your calling and turn it into a clear and unique brand positioning in the market
• Align your passion with a business model that can generate massive personal profits
• Develop a winning message that solves your audience’s biggest problems
• Create truly original and compelling thought leadership
• Turn your expertise into a digital machine that drives unlimited warm leads into your business 24/7
• Craft marketing materials that generate more opportunities for you by positioning you as the “go-to” source
