Have you ever wondered how history, politics, power and economic strategies intersect to create the world around us? Those forces are ever in motion, whether it is the rise and challenges of the US dollar, the unseen forces behind political power, global diplomacy, and economic policies. Whether it is the fluctuating balance of world currencies, the policies of the influential leaders, or the covert diplomacy that defined the Cold War, knowledge of these processes is central to the future.

The complexity of power, politics and economics is more evident than ever when it comes to global currencies, financial systems, historical struggles and secret negotiations. All of these factors are very important in the way countries exert influence and secure their future. The US dollar that has long been regarded as the global reserve currency is facing threats posed by emerging powers like China and decentralized technologies like cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, power strategies, the reality behind government corruption and the unheard stories of diplomacy are all part of the puzzle of the global dynamics. These issues can open a new vision of the way the world works nowadays and what the future will be.

A People’s History of the United States – Rewriting American History from the Bottom Up

A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn is a radically different interpretation of American history, one that tells not about the success of great men in power but the struggles of ordinary people. Zinn questions the conventional storyline by illuminating the voices of women, workers, African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants. This book offers a new and critical understanding of how the greatest battles in America, such as civil rights movements, labour rights, etc. were fought in the streets and not the halls of government.

• Focuses on the stories of marginalised groups in American society
• A critical look at the political, economic, and social systems of the US
• Written in accessible, engaging prose for general readers

Government Gangsters – Unmasking the Deep State and the Battle for Democracy

In Government Gangsters, Kash Patel uses his extensive experience in the US intelligence community to reveal what he describes as the Deep State—a cadre of people in the government that are not answerable to the American people and who control national policy. Patel states that such bureaucrats and power brokers are a major threat to democracy as they can control the political system and act against elected leaders. His book provides an in-depth criticism of the permanent bureaucracy of the government that has destroyed public confidence and deprived people of power.
