Bryant's comprehensive analysis spans three critical sections: making the case for capitalism that works for all Americans, providing practical strategies for implementation, and charting the path forward on domestic and global stages.

"Bloomsbury presents How Black Music Took Over the World by Melvin Briggs, read by Shamaan Casey
Why do Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, and Nina Simone move us the way they do? What drives the soulful notes of the Delta blues? What makes Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter inescapably great?
How Black Music Took Over the World takes readers inside the vibrant world that underlies Black musical creation, demonstrating the impact that the musical inheritance of Africa has had on music today. Beginning with two rhythmic building blocks he calls the cell and the frame, musician, composer and cultural theorist Melvin Gibbs reveals Black music as an organised system of knowledge. Blending cultural history and musical analysis, he explores how Black music has shaped nearly every music genre on the planet, from carnival music in Brazil to rap ciphers in New York and global pop. How Black Music Took Over the World explores rhythm, vibration and movement to challenge Western musical hierarchies and offer new tools for understanding our musical heritage.

"The powerful story of a falsely imprisoned man and a sweeping indictment of a city and the criminal justice system by a Pulitzer–prize winning journalist.
When the bodies of two Black men were found sitting with a crackpipe in a parked car in a rundown section of town in 1994, it seemed just another day in Kansas City, Kansas. The swift arrest and conviction of a seventeen–year–old Black kid from a broken home raised no eyebrows either.
And yet, thirty years later, Lamonte McIntyre would prove to be the David that took down the Goliath of corruption that had long controlled the city’s power structure and enveloped the city’s justice system.
But the effort to prove Lamonte’s innocence opened a Pandora’s box. Before it was over, the fight to win Lamonte’s exoneration exposed corrupt police and prosecutors, incompetent court–appointed defense lawyers, and a judge who violated ethical standards by his secret past relationship with the prosecutor, whom he favored in his rulings.
Injustice Town follows Lamonte’s case from its harrowing beginning to its triumphant end and beyond, including the legal tsunami that came in its wake, that engulfed prosecutors, attorneys, and judges. Most shockingly, the lead cop on the case was indicted by the Department of Justice for the widespread abuses he had committed years earlier on women in the Black community of Kansas City, Kansas. Abuses documented by Lamonte’s team. The criminal case ended, literally, with a bang, denying Lamonte and those whom the detective hurt the chance for them to seek their own justice."
"Owen Lake never had any interest in space.
After watching his astronaut mother die, he preferred the simple life of a boat captain on Lake Superior. But the simple life was never meant to last.
His charter business is failing, but an opportunity pops up in the form of Dr. Mariana Keller, who's interested in what lies beneath the waves: a mysterious, unnatural blue glow emanating from the depths.
Owen agrees to take her on a clandestine dive to an ancient shipwreck site. With his trusty canine companion Jack by his side, he sets out with Keller, but a simple dive turns into a fight for their lives when a beam pins Mari beneath the wreckage.
As Owen struggles to free her, he is ripped into an underwater hole and finds himself aboard a highly advanced, unmanned spacecraft.
The ship's powerful Artificial Intelligence, which Owen names Jefferson, asks Owen to become a temporary crew member in exchange for the rescue of Mari and Jack. He immediately agrees without a second thought.
After rescuing them, the AI places them in stasis and initiates a launch. With the ship jettisoning Owen, Mari, and Jack toward deep space and a cosmic conflict far beyond Earth's solar system, it's clear there's a lot more to becoming a crew member than Owen could have imagined.
Eleven months later, Owen awakens to discover that he's undergone involuntary biological enhancements that allow him to survive deep space. The enhancements grant him abilities far beyond human limits. But Jefferson's bargain remains absolute: Owen must cooperate and prove his worth on a millennia-old quest for revenge against the enemy Federation... or Mari and Jack will remain frozen forever.
Forced to lead, Captain Owen Lake must now fight a war that began 100,000 years before he was ever born."
"Bloomsbury presents Writing During the Apocalypse by Ed Simon, read by Shamaan Casey
All of American literature is a tragedy. What we’re living through now isn’t a tragedy, however – it’s a horror novel. Why bother writing when the world’s on fire?
Rising authoritarianism. Covid. Inflation. Wealth disparity. War. Climate change. While every time period is marked by apocalyptic fears, it certainly seems like our current anxieties aren’t ill placed. And yet, art and literature persist.
In captivating and culturally savvy prose, Ed Simon grapples with the notion that writers and their work ought to distract readers from the dire situation we face in these fetid days of the Anthropocene. He also addresses the wider question of what it's like to write during what could be the last decades of human civilization, arguing that to craft imaginative spaces through the magic of words isn’t superfluous. Instead it exists at the core of human experience – as it always has and always will.
Examining creativity as it has manifested in similarly dire circumstances in human history – in a broad range of authors and texts, such as the Bible, Boccaccio’s Decameron, Voltaire, Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, and Stephen King’s The Stand – Writing During the Apocalypse eschews the easy defeatism of nihilism. Instead, it offers a hopeful perspective on the various ways that literary expression can endow a meaningless world with meaning and generate a spark in the darkness.
With the infamous four horsemen as its guide, Writing During the Apocalypse honors the literary life even during the end of the world. P 2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC C 2026 Ed Simon"
"There is no such thing as free, unconstrained speech. Laws and constitutions may protect us from the state when we speak our minds. But the state is just one possible constraint. Glenn Loury, one of America's most outspoken and important intellectuals, provides a provocative and dazzling analysis of the powerful social forces that can prevent speakers from voicing unpopular views in public forums.
Every society, Loury notes, has norms to enforce. That can be a good thing: There ought to be social sanctions for, say, compulsive liars. When, however, a society shows a low degree of tolerance for speech about matters of political importance, self-censorship proliferates and public discourse and policy suffer. The answer, Loury argues, is for as many of us as possible to be braver and more human—to take a risk and unapologetically 'live within the truth'.
Loury first presented these ideas in the 1990s in a celebrated and prophetic essay about 'political correctness.' In Self-Censorship he expands and updates the account, deploying his analytical powers and psychological acuity to diagnose our current political climate. The result illuminates prevailing social dynamics with the same brilliant and startling effect that made the paper an instant classic thirty years ago."
