Giroux, Mike Lofgren and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor tackle these questions head-on, while an updated edition of the revelatory Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins shows the role of the US in perpetuating coercive and violent economic systems around the globe.

The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government By Mike Lofgren Something is seriously wrong with democracy in the United States. In this incriminating book, long-time congressional staffer Mike Lofgren sheds light on the true decision-makers behind the American political system. The secret “Deep State” - comprised of elected and unelected members of the legislative and executive branches, the military-industrial complex, Wall Street and Silicon Valley - is not so secret any more. From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation By Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor Why does racial inequality persist in the supposedly “post-racial” United States? What led to the current movement insisting that Black lives do matter and demanding that Black people be treated accordingly? What could the future of the movement hold? Find out in a book that Michelle Alexander describes as "a searching examination of the social, political and economic dimensions of the prevailing racial order." America’s Addiction to Terrorism  By Henry A. Giroux Giroux turns the conventional wisdom on terrorism upside down, demonstrating the violence perpetuated by the United States itself, both overseas and woven into the very fabric of society at home. America’s Addiction to Terrorism examines the effects of officially sanctioned torture, militarized police, austerity politics and the ongoing degradation of the education system - and how these impact young people in the US most of all. The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man  By John Perkins This expanded edition of the New York Times bestseller, featuring 15 new chapters, brings the chilling story of economic hit men up to date and onto American soil. With explosive new details, John Perkins exposes the systemic corruption that has allowed him and others to cheat other countries out of trillions of dollars, and shows how this culture of economic destruction has become the dominant system of business and government.
