The Inequality Puzzle

European and US Leaders Discuss Rising Income Inequality

By: Roland Berger,David Grusky,Tobias Raffel,Geoffrey Samuels,Chris Wimer

Is there too much inequality? We are witnessing for the first time in many decades a vigorous public debate in the United States and many European countries as to whether income inequality is approaching unjustifiable levels. The financial crisis has drawn special attention to remuneration at financial firms, as well as other more broadly based increases in inequality, and the pendulum may well have swung back toward attitudes favoring strengthened regulations. It is against this background of shifting public and political views about income inequality that the Roland Berger Foundation decided to solicit the opinions of U. S. and European political, business, and labor leaders by partnering with the Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality. This initiative, led by a diverse team of five authors, sought to cast light on how prominent European and U. S. leaders are making sense of rising inequality. The objective was not to provide yet another scholarly tome on inequality, or another analysis of how the general public views inequality. We are already awash in such analyses. What we don’t know, and what we have sought to offer, is a window into how senior leaders view this historic moment. In the summer of 2009, we interviewed thirteen political, business, and labor leaders and presented these interviews in their original form.

Highland County

By: Chris Scott

Named for its high altitude and boasting one of the smallest populations east of the Mississippi River, Highland County is nicknamed Virginias Little Switzerland. Although settlers began arriving in the area as early as 1745, Highland County was not officially formed until 1847. Portions were carved from neighboring Bath and Pendleton Counties to create the new county of Highland. The isolation of the area required great perseverance and commitment from the early German and Scotch Irish settlers, but in many ways, it gave the area its identity and character. Highland County has a rich tradition of both strong individualism and community spirit. With photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries and into the new millennium, this volume tells the rich, fascinating story, both rural and modern, of the county and its people.

A Captive Mind

Christianity, Ideologies, and Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad

By: Chris Nye

How does the Christian faith relate to a world stuck in ideological captivity? What happens when vast numbers of people abandon biblical faith for pre-packaged sets of ideas they received from podcasts, videos, and online personalities? How can we stay faithful, humble, and wise when everyone seems quick, arrogant, and foolish? In A Captive Mind, pastor and author Chris Nye presents Christianity next to the ideologies of this world to reveal the shocking and important truth: Christianity is not an idea in the first place, and therefore confuses, disrupts, and corrects any cultural ideology. To commit to Jesus Christ in this new age, the body of Christ will need a new way to see the faith they hold. Those who place their faith in Jesus cannot fit inside the pre-packaged sets of ideas regurgitated to us through the amalgamation of cultural events, leading charismatic thinkers, and now, algorithms and social media influencers. Fortunately, the event of the gospel gives us just what we need: a new mind and a new life.

The Christ-Awakened Life

Meditation beyond Boundaries

By: Chris Kang

This book discusses meditation practice as a disciple of Christ through the lenses and inflexions of Asian spiritual traditions. Inspired by the author’s more than four decades of Buddhist spiritual formation and a transformative faith encounter with Jesus Christ during a sabbatical retreat, this book explores experiential, spiritual, and theological dimensions of contemplative practice for a Spirit-illumined, Spirit-transformed life towards spiritual maturity and Christlikeness. It is a book that cuts across religious boundaries while honoring the essence of tradition by foregrounding the praxis of contemplative spirituality. Part spiritual autobiography, part theological reflection, and part meditation instruction manual, this book invites Buddhist and Christian practitioners as well as meditators of diverse traditions to engage with the spirit and content of this book in a journey of gospel-shaped contemplative and interspiritual adventure.

A Ticket to Zion

A Pilgrim's Progress by Train

By: Chris Brown

A Ticket to Zion is a journey through life by train inspired by John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress and C. S. Lewis’s Narnia adventures. Each twist and turn in life is represented as an aspect of a journey by train; the excitement of hearing the first steam train, the joy of being given a free ticket, the horror of seeing so many catch the wrong train, and then finally crossing the valley of the shadow of death. As you read A Ticket to Zion you will be transported into a mysterious world of adventure with Ian, our pilgrim, and his colorful friends who try to help him along the way. You will also be challenged by their enemies who tempt them to give up their precious tickets and leave the train. You will understand how to collect your free ticket, see why life’s journey is so hard, and discover where your journey ends. Ian hopes that his journey’s end will be a celestial city (Zion), but will he endure to the end? How many of those he meets along the way will complete the journey? How many will end up in the depot or on the wrong train?

Beyond Slavery

Christian Theology and Rehabilitation from Human Trafficking

By: Chris Gooding

Is there life beyond slavery? In the past twenty years, there has been an explosion of research related to human trafficking. However, very little of it has examined the moral issues that survivors face after they are freed, or that aftercare workers face as they help survivors try to live a life outside of bondage. And there has been almost nothing written on how the tools of moral and political theology might offer insight for Christians who wish to help survivors live a normal life after enslavement. This book hopes to address this gap in the discussion. Drawing on over fifty interviews with survivors, aftercare workers, and human trafficking specialists from his field work in India, Chris Gooding confronts difficult questions that arise during rehabilitation. Why do so many survivors of trafficking end up walking back into bondage? What might life after slavery look like for survivors who helped enslave other people? How can we build antislavery coalitions that keep survivors' voices at the center? Gooding looks at all these questions through the eschatological hope that Christians have that the Messiah will one day break every chain and free all people from all forms of bondage.

Canticles of the Body

A Meditation on the Liturgical Cycle

By: Chris Ellery

Through years of repetition, the feasts and fasts of the liturgical cycle imprint an indelible pattern on the psyche of the Christian. This archetype of spiritual revolution, deeply experienced, revitalizes the body in the many senses of that word. Immersed in the Perennial Tradition, Canticles of the Body superimposes the Christian calendar with the Vedic anatomy of Kundalini Yoga to create an extended meditation on Imago Dei. As the Shakti ascends from the body’s root to the lotus of divine union, the faithful Christian, in company with all the devoted, travels from anticipation in Advent to identification with Christ the King. On one level, Canticles of the Body is a pilgrim’s adventure in the charisms of the body; on another, it is the universal journey of the soul through the seasons of a holy life. All who take the path of these canticles will surely see incarnation and communion with fresh vision while (re)discovering the familiar pattern of the yearly cycle.

Baseball in Fort Worth

By: Mark Presswood,J. Chris Holaday

In 2003, over 160,000 fans watched professional baseball in downtown Fort Worth's near north side. Baseball, which had been played in this north side area since 1911, had returned after a near 40-year absence. Fort Worth's rich tradition of professional baseball dates back to the start of the Texas League of Professional Baseball Clubs in 1888 and includes many players who continued to impact our national pastime at the major league level. Presenting over 170 photographs, programs, and maps this volume documents not only the play on the field, but the fun and excitement off the field as well. The book contains a chapter on Fort Worth's black baseball history, which dates back to the turn of the 20th century, and includes the new discovery of a forgotten ballpark dedicated to the black players and leagues of the early 1900s. Though the details are difficult to trace, this chapter showcases the pride the players demonstrated at the local level and the force they became in the national Negro leagues.
