Superclass : the global power elite and the world they are making / by Rothkopf, David J.(David Jochanan),1955-(CARDINAL)268296;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-355) and index.Introduction: The power élite on the promenade -- Each one is one in a million : meet the superclass -- Ceteris non paribus : inequality, backlash, and the New Order -- Lessons of history : the rise and fall of élites -- The multinational moment : when finance and business became the center of it all -- Globalists vs. nationalists : political fault line for a new century -- The Age of Asymmetry : decline of the titans and the rise of shadow warriors -- The information superclass : the power of ideas -- How to become a member of the superclass : myth, reality, and the psychopathology of success -- The future of the superclass--and what it may mean for the rest of us.They number six thousand on a planet of six billion. They run our governments, our largest corporations, the powerhouses of international finance, the media, world religions, and, from the shadows, the world's most dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations. They are the global superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time. Today's superclass has achieved unprecedented levels of wealth and power. They have globalized more rapidly than any other group. But do they have more in common with one another than with their own countrymen, as nationalist critics have argued? Has their influence fed the growing economic and social inequity that divides the world? Who sets the rules for a group that operates beyond national laws? Drawn from exclusive interviews and extensive original reporting, this book draws back the curtain on a privileged society that most of us know little about, even though it profoundly affects our lives.--From publisher description.

Do the work : a guide to understanding power and creating change. / by Pillow, Megan,Author(local)tlcaut1722350117372409064; Gay, Roxane,Author(DLC)no2014051741; Durand, Aurélia,Illustrator(DLC)no2020001158;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-125).Challenge your biases and broaden your understanding of power and how we wield it with this essential guide.   Power is complex. But Do The Work is a guide to navigating those complexities. From ancient theories of power to contemporary examples, from cultural patterns to personal insights, this guide provides a foundation for examining hierarchies and inequalities and establishes a framework for understanding power and how it shapes our lives and communities.   Between these pages, theory, commentary, and analysis create an engaging, creative, and mindful reading experience. This guide features approachable overviews of complex topics, thought-provoking questions, evocative illustrations, pages for your reflections, and steps we can all take to reframe our relationship to power and reinvigorate our desire to empower the people around us.   Thanks to the work of writer and scholar Megan Pillow, educator and New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay, and New York Times bestselling illustrator Aurélia Durand, Do The Work is a must-read for a more just future--and a more equitable now. Do The Work asks: What can we learn about power from history and from our current moment? Who are the powerful, and who are the people denied power? Where are our own sources of power? How do we recognize our mistakes and become more self-aware? What does it mean to reclaim our power and to build community? Do The Work explains: *How theorists from Aristotle to Hannah Arendt have shaped our understanding of power *Why Kimberlé Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality is at the heart of power discussions *What Laura Mulvey and Audre Lorde can teach us about power and gender *How poverty, redlining, and The Voting Rights Act all illustrate power imbalances *What the Stonewall Riots showed us about resistance and community *How to train ourselves in collective thinking, and what it means to "choose the margins"
