What Happened to Goldman Sachs: An Insider’s Story of Organizational Drift and Its Unintended Consequences , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min

In What Happened to Goldman Sachs, Columbia Business School professor and former Sachs executive Steven Mandis charts the evolution of Goldman Sachs from an ethical standard to a legal one and uncovers the forces behind what he calls Goldman's "organizational drift". Drawing from his firsthand experience; sociological research; analysis of SEC, congressional, and other filings; and a wide array of interviews with former clients, detractors, and current and former partners, Mandis exposes the pressures that forced Goldman to slowly drift away from the very principles on which its reputation was built. Combining insightful analysis with engaging storytelling, Mandis has written an insider's history that offers invaluable perspectives to business leaders interested in understanding and managing organizational drift in their own firms. ungekürzt.

Anarchism: What It Really Stands For , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min

Anarchism was central to Goldman's view of the world, and she is today considered one of the most important figures in the history of anarchism. First drawn to it during the persecution of anarchists after the 1886 Haymarket affair, she wrote and spoke regularly on behalf of anarchism. Within this work, she writes: Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; and liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations. ungekürzt.

Love for Sale: A World History of Prostitution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1104min

From the Whore of Babylon to The Happy Hooker, eminent historian Nils Johan Ringdal has written a masterly, extremely readable world history of the world's oldest profession, spanning a wide historical swathe armed with a lively wit. Beginning with The Epic of Gilgamesh, the Old Testament, and ancient cultures from Greece to India and beyond, Love for Sale takes the listener on a tour through the entire recorded history of prostitution up to the modern red-light district. It shows how different societies have dealt with prostitutes: ancient Greece, Rome, and India incorporated them into several social echelons, including the priestess class; their close relations with artists in 19th-century Europe made them muses to the modern sensibility; the Victorians campaigned against them. It shows the similarities between medieval European heterosexuals and contemporary gay men when visiting public baths, gives lively commentary on the classic Fanny Hill and on Emma Goldman's and Eva Peron's sympathy for prostitutes, and closes with Sydney Biddle Barrows, the rise of the sex-workers' rights movement and contemporary "sex-positive" feminism, and a realistic look at the true risks and rewards of prostitution in the present day. ungekürzt.

Emma Goldman: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Feminist Icon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min

Includes Goldman's own quotes about her life and work "To the daring belongs the future...when we run out of dreams, we die." "The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the Black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul." (Emma Goldman) In the early 20th century, one of the most famous women in America was Emma Goldman, but plenty of people thought it was for all the wrong reasons. Born in Russia in the late 19th century, Goldman had come to the United States as a teen and quickly grew attracted to anarchy and socialism over what she viewed as unfair class structures in her new home, especially in the wake of the Haymarket riots. But while many simply grumbled about the Gilded Age in private or denounced it in print, Goldman was a woman of action, from being involved in the attempted assassination of tycoon Henry Clay Frick to publishing anarchist journals and passing around information about contraception. Although Goldman was jailed on several occasions during the first two decades of the 20th century, it was not until World War I that federal authorities reached their limit when she called upon others to resist the newly implemented draft in 1917. Deported back to Russia, Goldman had a front row seat for the Bolshevik Revolution, but she quickly grew disillusioned by Lenin's government as well, and the following decade saw her in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. By the time Goldman died in 1940 at the age of 70, she had touched upon so many political, social, and gender issues that future generations would come to view her as a forerunner of the feminist movement. Her work ran against the grain on everything from religion to freedom of speech, with what were then radical takes on subjects like marriage, free love, homosexuality, and women's rights.
