Money, Greed, and God: Why Capitalism Is the Solution and Not the Problem by Jay W. Richards is a provocative defense of free-market capitalism from a Christian worldview. Richards confronts what he calls the “myths” many Christians believe about economics, arguing that capitalism—when rightly understood—is consistent with biblical values such as stewardship, creativity, and human dignity.

Jay Richards challenges the notion that capitalism is inherently greedy or unjust. He argues that when grounded in virtue, free enterprise is the most effective system for lifting people out of poverty and promoting human flourishing. Each chapter addresses a common myth Christians believe about wealth—such as the belief that money is evil, that capitalism fosters greed, or that global trade exploits the poor.

Richards blends economics, theology, and history to show that capitalism, far from being the enemy of Christian ethics, is a powerful tool for good when governed by moral principles. He urges believers to think critically, biblically, and practically about economics—rejecting simplistic solutions and emotional rhetoric.

The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation is a three-volume nonfiction series written between 1958 and 1968 by Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Soviet dissident. It was first published in 1973 by the Parisian publisher YMCA-Press, and it was translated into English and French the following year.

It explores a vision of life in what is often known as the Gulag, the Soviet labour camp system. Solzhenitsyn constructed his highly detailed narrative from various sources including reports, interviews, statements, diaries, legal documents, and his own experience as a Gulag prisoner.

Following its publication, the book was initially circulated in the Soviet Union by samizdat underground publication. It was not widely published there until 1989. It appeared that year in the literary journal Novy Mir; a third of the work was published in three issues. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, The Gulag Archipelago has been officially published in Russia.

The United States of America has long been the lone beacon of freedom and sensibility in a chaotic world. Now, she is under threat from a lethal ideology that seeks to humiliate and erase anyone who does not bow at its altar. The threat in question? Wokeism.

In Right Wing Revolution: How to Beat the Woke and Save the West, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk drags wokeism out of the shadows and details the exact steps needed to stop its toxic spread.

Right Wing Revolution is not a cautionary tale. Wokeism has already seeped into every aspect of American society. Instead, Charlie Kirk looks to inform and prepare every reader for the coming confrontation against one of the most existential threats the United States has ever faced.
