Taking his typically in-depth, historically informed view, Thom Hartmann asks: What if the Supreme Court didn't have the power to strike down laws? According to the Constitution, it doesn't. From the founding of the republic until 1803, the Supreme Court was the final court of appeals, as it was always meant to be. So where did the concept of judicial review start? As so much of modern American history, it began with the battle between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, and with Marbury v. Madison.

The Occupy Wall Street movement named the core issue of our time: the overwhelming power of Wall Street and large corporations—something the political establishment and most media have long ignored.

Why do some people get exactly what they want, while you do everything right and still end up overlooked, outmanoeuvred, and left behind? It was never luck. It was never talent. Beneath every room you walk into runs a hidden game of power, and most people never even see the board. They are influenced, manipulated, and held back by forces they cannot name, then blame themselves for losing a game nobody ever taught them to play. Power Decoded ends that.

There is an idea that has never died—only changed its costume. In the Victorian era it wore a frock coat and spoke of civilization. In the twentieth century it wore a uniform and spoke of race. Today it wears a hoodie and speaks of disruption. The idea is this: that life is fundamentally a competition, that the strong deserve to win, and that science—nature itself—has given us permission to stop feeling bad about it.

Dr. Christopher Garrow traces America’s moral story from its founding assumptions to its present secular crisis. He argues that the Christian ethic embedded in America’s founding documents helped create the moral framework that later fueled abolition, religious liberty, women’s suffrage, care for the poor, protection of the family, and the defense of human dignity. But as the nation abandoned Christianity for secularism, naturalism, and moral relativism, its laws and institutions began to reflect a different gospel.

In a free society, power must exist, but it must also be restrained. As institutions grow more complex, understanding how authority operates becomes increasingly important. In Our Next 250 Years: Power and Control, Charles Patton examines how modern systems translate power into control. Beyond elections and formal institutions, authority now operates through technology platforms, financial systems, administrative agencies, and regulatory structures that shape decisions and influence outcomes.

What if nobody has to win the argument about how society should be organized? In the nineteenth century, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon shocked the world by declaring that property is theft—and then, rather cheerfully, proposed that people could get along just fine without governments telling them what to do. He was mocked, attacked, imprisoned, and largely misunderstood. He also happened to be onto something.

In 1748, Montesquieu gave the world its most celebrated political idea: divide power into three branches, and tyranny becomes impossible. Legislatures write the laws, executives enforce them, courts keep everyone honest. It sounded magnificent. It was adopted everywhere. And it has failed everywhere — not occasionally, not in fragile states alone, but systematically, predictably, and for reasons that Montesquieu, brilliant as he was, could never have known.

Four Megatrends Pointing Toward an AOC Presidency in 2028 argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the story —history is. The book identifies four forces converging to create the conditions for a new political era. First, the fifty-year Reagan era of deregulation, tax cuts, and market-first economics is reaching its limits, much as the New Deal era eventually gave way to Reagan. Second, history shows that systems must reform or risk decline; America faces growing pressure to adapt to inequality, housing shortages, healthcare costs, and declining economic mobility.
