If you are looking for more historical stuff biographies are always good.

>So what do you know of the "contents"?

Certain media organizations often get political books early. They will often cherry pick out excerpts from the book that'll bring attention to it. This is advantageous to the author and publisher of the book.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-what-happened/index.html

So here's one way how I know some of the contents of the book.

Here's another

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/27/books/hillary-clinton-memoir-what-happened.html

Then there's the Amazon description as well

https://www.amazon.com/What-Happened-Hillary-Rodham-Clinton/dp/1501175564

So yeah, the thesis and main topic of the book is public knowledge and has been for a couple of months now.

>you are an expert on what it contains?

Quote where I said I'm an expert on what the book contains. I don't know what kind of education you received or if you have had any at all based on the quality of the comments you've sent me, but where I went to school being able to describe the thesis of a book doesn't at all imply that you are an expert on the book's contents.

>You know it's "thesis".

Yes I do, I just linked two sources above that talk about the thesis. One of which dates all the way back to July.

>Love that bern out logic.

Yes the "bern out logic" of being able to read.

First chapter available as an intro.
Also available as an Audible.com download.

Get an Econ education while enjoying the book, better than fiction.

I'm a Dem and a graduate student studying economics. While I disagree with many of Paul's "Austrian School" views, overall I like him.

I think many of us on the left have been mislead into thinking that government keeps big-business in check. In reality, they regulate themselves. I encourage you all to check out this book http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Conservatism-Gabriel-Kolko/dp/0029166500 as well as this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

This is an excellent and very readable book about the Koch brothers and their political activities.

Anyone that thinks Putin is a great guy should read this: The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep: Russia's Road to Terror and Dictatorship under Yeltsin and Putin

I want one now. Pink isn't the best color on her though. This is a cool product too

LOL -- there was never any evidence of any Iranian involvement in the AMIA bombing, and in fact the British had to release a former Iranian ambassador that they had arrested for extradition to Argentina because the Argentinians could not meet the minimal evidence required to back up their extradition request.

Israel on the other hand indeed has a history of bombing places and trying to blame it on "terrorists" -- like the Lavon Affair proved
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair

and these places also include Iraqi Jews in Baghdad, who were deliberately targetted by Israel to scare them to move to Israel

Yeah, I'm not buying the act. I already admitted that you "got me", just move on to your next victim.

Chris Mooney's The Republican Brain has quite a bit of insight into this.

Though his trying to balance the "both sides are capable of cognitive bias" is as sadly entertaining as when Politifact tries to not make repubs look as bad as they really are.

Did you look up Michael Cremo?
http://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Archeology-Hidden-History-Human/dp/0892132949/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313705917&sr=8-1

Just read it and see. It is a reasonable viewpoint based on a lot of raw research from many different archeologists.

And please don't ever be so certain of your own opinion that your mind is closed to others. Don't be afraid to listen. It is okay to be wrong sometimes. A closed mind is the enemy of science.

Ah, but they Want to do similarly heinous things...and talk about such things all the time...and some elements actually Do act out their ultra-violent "religious" fantasies...

Check out some of the most disturbing details here, if you can stand it:

BTW, there's also a book by Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, titled "The American Taliban", which offers further incisive analysis:

http://www.amazon.com/American-Taliban-Power-Jihadists-Radical/dp/1936227029

Another important facet to this...meme, is the very close supportive relationship between the CIA and Taliban/AlQuaida elements, historically, in sowing chaos on the flanks of Russia and the oil fields...due at least in part, I would suggest, to glaring similarities in world-view.

Both CIA and the Taliban resented Russian incursion into the region, which outlawed the Burkha, allowed girls to go to school, women to enjoy equal rights, etc. and generally sought to modernize the country, rather than to isolate it and perpetuate a throwback feudal warlord society.

>School prices are so high because government guaranteeing loans

Thats a myth perpetuated by the right-wing to try and destroy academia (particular to attack tenure so they can politicize college education) because education is bad for the right-wing.

>Much of what is written about colleges and universities ties rapidly rising tuition to dysfunctional behavior in the academy. Common targets of dysfunction include prestige games among universities, gold plated amenities, and bloated administration. This book offers a different view. To explain rising college cost, the authors place the higher education industry firmly within the larger economic history of the United States. The trajectory of college cost is similar to cost behavior in many other industries, and this is no coincidence. Higher education is a personal service that relies on highly educated labor. A technological trio of broad economic forces has come together in the last thirty years to cause higher education costs, and costs in many other industries, to rise much more rapidly than the inflation rate. The main culprit is economic growth itself.

Additionally the trend of states reducing their contributions to public schools have exasperated the manner. Again this is something driven by the right.
