The national bestseller by the author of Defending the Spirit.

In this powerful and controversial book, distinguished African-American political leader and thinker Randall Robinson argues for the restoration of the rich history that slavery and segregation severed. Drawing from research and personal experience, he shows that only by reclaiming their lost past and proud heritage can blacks lay the foundation for their future. And white Americans can make reparations for slavery and the century of racial discrimination that followed with monetary restitution, educational programs, and the kinds of equal opportunities that will ensure the social and economic success of all its citizens.

In a book that is both an unflinching indictment of past wrongs and an impassioned call to our nation to educate all Americans about the history of Africa and its people, Robinson makes a persuasive case for the debt white America owes blacks, and the debt blacks owe themselves.

Randall Robinson, the founder and president of TransAfrica (a lobbying organization dedicated to influencing U.S. policy toward Africa and the Caribbean), recounted his heroic struggle to fight and overcome racism in the magnificent Defending the Spirit. In his triumphant follow-up, The Debt, he goes further than any previous black public figure in calling for reparations to African-Americans for the present-day racism that stems from 246 years of slavery. Citing compensation that Jews and Japanese Americans have received, he writes, “No race, ethnic or religious group has suffered as much over so long a span as blacks have and do still, at the hands of those who benefited … from slavery and the century of legalized American racial hostility that followed it.” In making his case, Robinson utilizes facts and figures that highlight the disparity between African-Americans and whites. While fully recognizing the monumental odds of this movement’s success, Robinson feels that the push for reparations will also greatly benefit African-Americans in nonmaterial ways: “Even the making of a well-reasoned case for restitution will do wonders for the spirit of African-Americans,” he argues. “It will cause them to at long last understand the genesis of their history–before, during, and after slavery–into one story of themselves.” –Eugene Holley Jr.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the earth belongs to the living. His letter to James Madison is often quoted for the proposition that we should not be bound to the ‘dead hand of the past’, suggesting that the Constitution should instead be interpreted as a living, breathing document. Less well-known is Madison’s response, in which he said the improvements made by the dead – including the US Constitution – form a debt against the living, who benefit from them. In this illuminating book, Ilan Wurman introduces Madison’s concept of originalism to a new generation and shows how it has shaped the US Supreme Court in ways that are expected to continue following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the theory’s leading proponents. It should be read by anyone seeking a better understanding of originalism and its ongoing influence on the constitutional jurisprudence of the Supreme Court.

In considering the tough challenges that families face today, one issue keeps coming to the surface all too often—finances. Statistics show that financial issues are consistently one of the top reasons listed for divorce in this nation. Determined at the outset of their marriage to turn those grim statistics around, one young couple heard biblical teaching on finances, took it to heart, and patterned their lives after what God has to say about handling money. Meet Michelle and Trevor Thomas as they tell their story of how God led them out from under a mountain of debt into financial freedom. In Debt-Free Living in a Debt-Filled World, they will tell you candidly how they paid off their debt, built their home without a mortgage, and have lived the last 14 years debt free, raising four children on a teacher’s salary. Be encouraged in your own journey by what you read in theses pages. Whatever your situation may be, know that God has a plan for freedom for you, too. Financial freedom is within reach, so trust The Provider each step of the way. As families begin to dig out of debt and save for future needs, marriages are strengthened, children feel more secure, and communities become better places to live. God’s ways really are best. So, sit back and enjoy. You will laugh, you might cry, but you will surely be encouraged.

For the past forty years western economies have splurged on debt. Now, as the reality dawns that many debts cannot be repaid, we find ourselves again in crisis. But the oncoming defaults have a time-worn place in our economic history. As with the crises in the 1930s and 1970s, governments will fall, currencies will lose their value, and new systems will emerge. Just as Britain set the terms of the international system in the nineteenth century, and America in the twentieth century, a new system will be set by today’s creditors in China and the Middle East. In the process, rich will be pitted against poor, young against old, public sector workers against taxpayers and one country against another.

In Paper Promises, Economist columnist Philip Coggan helps us to understand the origins of this mess and how it will affect the new global economy by explaining how our attitudes towards debt have changed throughout history, and how they may be about to change again.

I watch. I study. I prowl. I hunt. I always go in with a plan. A set of rules for myself. I don’t take unnecessary risks. That’s how I’ve been able to evade capture all these years. But there’s something about this girl that is different than the others. When I finally meet her, the rules become a blur. And I break the most important one of all–I take her with me. —– It’s just my imagination–that feeling of being watched. That those icy eyes– a vivid turquoise with a distinct golden fleck–aren’t watching me. It’s just stress. I am the person everyone relies on. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been feeling so content with my life lately. Why I dream those eyes belong to someone who can tear me away from all of my responsibilities. But these are just shameful fantasies, never meant to breach reality. Then one night, the dream comes true, only it’s a horrific nightmare. Now, I only have one task: survival. 124k words. Trigger warning: If you need one, this is really not the book for you.
