Book Description
Legacy of a Rich Man, Joseph of Arimathea's Mission in Britain was ignited by the biblical account of the man who gave Jesus his burial tomb after the crucifixion, as it appears in the four Gospels and prophecy in Isaiah 53. This story was fueled by the legend of Joseph in Britain. It was enhanced by Roman/British archaeological history. Although Joseph of Arimathea appears in all four Gospels, no details are furnished about his prior life, family, or his relationship to Jesus and the disciples. The lack of in-depth biblical information about Joseph made it possible to imagine him with a plausible life as a church founder during the first century AD Roman occupation in his adopted land of Britain. A cast of characters ranging in age from teens to senior adults infuse the story with love, loss, humor, and adventure. The Good News of Salvation is woven throughout the story. FYI...there are also dogs in the story.

Andrew Carnegie Speaks to the 1%
Author: Andrew Carnegie
Publisher: Gray Rabbit Publishing
ISBN: 9781515400387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Before the 99% occupied Wall Street... Before the concept of social justice had impinged on the social conscience... Before the social safety net had even been conceived... By the turn of the 20th Century, the era of the robber barons, Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) had already accumulated a staggeringly large fortune; he was one of the wealthiest people on the globe. He guaranteed his position as one of the wealthiest men ever when he sold his steel business to create the United States Steel Corporation. Following that sale, he spent his last 18 years, he gave away nearly 90% of his fortune to charities, foundations, and universities. His charitable efforts actually started far earlier. At the age of 33, he wrote a memo to himself, noting ..".The amassing of wealth is one of the worse species of idolatry. No idol more debasing than the worship of money." In 1881, he gave a library to his hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland. In 1889, he spelled out his belief that the rich should use their wealth to help enrich society, in an article called "The Gospel of Wealth" this book. Carnegie writes that the best way of dealing with wealth inequality is for the wealthy to redistribute their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner, arguing that surplus wealth produces the greatest net benefit to society when it is administered carefully by the wealthy. He also argues against extravagance, irresponsible spending, or self-indulgence, instead promoting the administration of capital during one's lifetime toward the cause of reducing the stratification between the rich and poor. Though written more than a century ago, Carnegie's words still ring true today, urging a better, more equitable world through greater social consciousness.

A Legacy of Exploitation
Author: Susan Dianne Brophy
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774866381
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
The Red River Colony was the Hudson’s Bay Company’s first planned settlement. As a settler-colonial project par excellence, it was designed to undercut Indigenous peoples’ “troublesome” autonomy and curtain the company’s dependency on their labour. In this critical re-evaluation of the history of the Red River Colony, Susan Dianne Brophy upends standard accounts by foregrounding Indigenous producers as a driving force of change. A Legacy of Exploitation challenges the enduring yet misleading fantasy of Canada as a glorious nation of adventurers, showing how autonomy can become distorted as complicity in processes of dispossession.
