    Virtual Country: Strategy for 21st Century Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 244min
    Virtual Country examines the current nexus of technology and western democracy, pointing to a historical opportunity for We the People to evolve our democracy to include a new public institution that enables a coherent, collective voice on the issues that affect us all. The book's centerpiece is a proposal for a new online institution for citizen reengagement - the National Town Square. The Square would be a transparent, citizen-led, noncorporate, nongovernmental, nonpartisan online venue for individual advisory voting, moderated discussion, and fact-verified education on issues selected by citizens themselves. Virtual Country also examines the surrounding issues and risks associated with allowing the influence of big money in politics to be extended to online democracy. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in both the risks and opportunities presented at this historic moment in democracy's evolution. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Susie begins the show with a look into the strange credibility of polyamory. One of Susie's new favorite political blog sites called Freaksexual lists all the reasons why multiple partners are "in". Susie gets into the many aspects of polyamory from it's anti-fidelity and non-monogamous appeal, to it's swinging queer-friendly side. Next, Susie reveals the outcome of Bush's Abstinence education programs: They don't work! A new report by a nonpartisan research group finds that abstinence programs appear to have little impact on teenagers delaying sex. Oh Susie has a heyday with this one.

    Saving America: Seven Proven Steps to Making Government Deliver Great Results , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    National polling indicates that for the first time in American history, people believe their children will not be as well off as they are. The primary reason for this? The lack of performance by government. The public sector receives trillions of American taxpayer dollars every year, and yet because of its seeming inability to run effectively, government is not delivering the level of service the people are paying for. In Saving America, Mark Aesch tells us where government - at the local, state, and federal levels - is falling short and offers a coherent, nonpartisan, seven-step plan for rebuilding our nation's public agencies. The audiobook is not a political broadside or a theoretical academic tract; it's an accessible guidebook that helps local citizens, elected officials, and administrators make American government great again. The seven-step process will lead to measurable gains for organizations large and small, including school systems, municipal governments, entire states, and even the federal government itself. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Hickox.

    Fresh Air, Charles Lewis and Lt. Col. Gene Pollack, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min
    Investigative researcher Charles Lewis and Army Corps of Engineers spokesperson Lt. Col. Gene Pollack on this edition of Fresh Air. Charles Lewis is the founder and executive director of the Center for Public Integrity. It's a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization in Washington, D.C., similar to an investigative journalism outfit but without time and space constraints. Its mission is to expose corruption and power abuse by governments, corporations and individuals. Lewis will talk about the ties between members of the Bush Administration and the defense industry, and questions of conflict of interest regarding lucrative contracts to rebuild Iraq. For eleven years, Lewis was an investigative reporter at ABC news, and also worked at CBS on 60 Minutes. Lt. Col. Gene Pollack responds to concerns about conflict of interest in awarding army contracts to private companies. Pollack explains how the Army Corps of Engineers gave contracts to put out oil fires in Iraq to Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton. Vice President Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton after he left his job as Secretary of Defense and before he became VP. (Broadcast Date: June 17, 2003) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.

    The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2203min
    A coruscating, brilliantly insightful exegesis of where capitalism went wrong, how it was corrupted, and how it might be restored, by outspoken former Reagan budget director and best-selling author David Stockman. David Stockman was the architect of the Reagan Revolution that was meant to restore sound money principles to the United States government. It failed, derailed by politics, special interests, welfare, and warfare. In The Great Deformation, Stockman describes how the working of free markets and democracy has long been under threat in America and provides a surprising, nonpartisan catalog of the corrupters and defenders. His analysis overturns the assumptions of Keynesians and monetarists alike, showing how both liberal and neoconservative interference in markets has proved damaging and often dangerous. Over time, crony capitalism has made fools of us all, transforming Republican treasury secretaries into big-government interventionists and populist Democrat presidents into industry-wrecking internationalists. Today’s national debt stands at nearly $16 trillion. Divided equally among taxpayers, each of us is $52,000 in debt. This book explains how we got here—and why this warped crony capitalism has betrayed so many of our hopes and dreams. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Hughes.

    63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 778min
    There's the Freedom of Information Act, and then there's Ventura's way. The official spin on numerous government programs is flat-out bull, according to Jesse Ventura. In this incredible collection of actual government documents, Ventura, the ultimate nonpartisan truth-seeker, proves it beyond any doubt. He and Dick Russell walk listeners through 63 of the most incriminating programs to reveal what really happens behind the closed doors. In addition to providing original government data, Ventura discusses what it really means and how regular Americans can stop criminal behavior at the top levels of government and in the media. Among the cases discussed: The CIA's top-secret program to control human behavior Operation Northwoods: the military plan to hijack airplanes and blame it on Cuban terrorists The discovery of a secret Afghan archive, information that never left the boardroom Potentially deadly healthcare cover-ups, including a dengue fever outbreak What the Department of Defense knows about our food supply but is keeping mum Although these documents are now in the public domain, the powers that be would just as soon they stay under wraps. Ventura's research and commentary sheds new light on what they're not telling you---and why it matters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George K. Wilson.
