andrew is a professor of american history and a fellow of claire college at cambridge university. e has published ten books including thwarted the spirit shield of faith, religion in american war and diplomacy. andrew great. thanks, ron. okay. so i want to begin slightly differently in talking about emily's book. can i see your copy of the book? she sure. so afraid. those of you who haven't seen it, i highly recommend going to the book exhibit to actually see this book as artifact as an actual book because it's extraordinary. it's really really beautifully. the cover design is is incredible and it just sort of very artfully frames the themes that emily is going to be discussing. my first question to you, emily, and you may not have to answer this now. it's a complicated question. is this was this something that lizzie, your daughter, did? because the acknowledgments she talks about lizzie having of drafted some of the first initial covers. and i'm wondering if if somebody that young was able to accomplish something like this and we can't judge a book by its cover. but i think in ca

a 2017 cambridge university study found that collectively they constitute the largest shareholders in nearly 90% of the companies in the s&p hundred. again, that's 500 of the largest publicly u.s. companies and their ownerships even larger today as passive investing has overtaken active investing. this consolidation of corporate power and control is unlike anything the financial markets have seen since j.p. morgan and john de rockefeller controlled much of the financial sector in the early 1900s. it is the most powerful financial cartel in u.s. history that kind of share ownership carries with it tremendous power. the big three don't beneficially own those shares, the shares in their funds. the dividends. the profits. the losses from those shares go to their clients. but the big three vote, those shares at each company's annual shareholders meeting. that gives them power over who sits on boards of directors for virtually every major company in the united states and whether shareholders or shareholder resolutions for those companies pass or fail. so when this triad of power speaks to corporate ameri

cambridge university, they have already lost two years. and the more we will wait, the more we are sowing the seeds for more revenge, resentment and extremism. and, hence, if you get rid ofe ours today, who will step in and provide education at scale to such a number of youths? you went along with your camera to your own family's house — was it your aunt? yeah, my aunt's house, yeah. and you had to take — well, you didn't have to, but the decision was to take pictures. i didn't take pictures for them because they all were flesh — we didn't find any complete body for them. because their house is very small, and the bomb that israel threw on them was very big. so no—one survived and they all literally were flesh. and till now we didn't find any body for my aunt. we don't know where she disappeared. so, er... yeah. so i didn't have the time to grieve or to show any emotions. and i start, i continued what i'm doing, because when you lose that much of people in a short time, your heart becomes dead — dead heart. dead? yeah, it's really dead, because now i... there is different thoughts now in my mind that i should accept it in a way to another. israel doesn't want to engage w
