🔴 📖 **Books That Shook the Business World: The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt**

"_One way to enter Arendt’s thought is to read the final chapter of The Human Condition after the prologue. There she argues that modernity’s biggest conquest has been for technology to emancipate humanity from the “drudgery of life”. But this has turned into our biggest trap, since we have filled it with mindless consumption._"

🔴 🇨🇳 **The hidden costs of inflation: A critical analysis of industrial development and environmental consequences**

"_As the demand for energy continues to grow, particularly in developing countries, the use of fossil fuels is likely to increase, leading to further increases in CO2 emissions. China is the world’s largest emitter of CO2 emissions, accounting for over a quarter of global emissions. FP, IG, and GNE are identified as key drivers of the increase in CO2 emissions in China. CO2 emissions increase global temperatures, precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and ocean levels. There is a need to shift towards cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, such as renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower._"

@Smrki I cannot disagree with that to some degree.

🔴 **Narcissism and Affective Polarization**

"_Our findings reveal that narcissism, and particularly the ‘rivalry’ aspect of narcissism, is associated with both positive and negative partisanship. This potentially not only explains why some people are more susceptible to affective polarization, but also has implications for elite polarization given that narcissism is an important predictor of elite entry._"
