The Holocaust Industry

Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering

Norman Finkelstein

In this book, Norman G. Finkelstein argues that the memory of the Holocaust has been exploited by the American Jewish establishment to enhance the status of Israel and deflect criticism of its policies. He contends that this 'Holocaust industry' has corrupted Jewish culture and the authentic memory of the Holocaust. Finkelstein documents economic exploitation, including the extraction of compensation from European countries, which he describes as an outright extortion racket. He also critiques the role of the U.S. in facilitating this exploitation and argues that the industry's primary concern is not the compensation of needy Holocaust survivors but rather the enrichment of law firms, consultants, politicians, and industry elites.

The Law

Frédéric Bastiat

In 'The Law', Frédéric Bastiat explores the nature and purpose of law in society, arguing that the fundamental role of law should be the protection of individual rights such as life, liberty, and property. He critiques the misuse of law for 'legal plunder' and emphasizes that justice has precise limits, while philanthropy and government intervention can lead to endless statism. Bastiat argues that laws should not be used to oppress or exploit individuals but rather to safeguard their rights, and he warns against the dangers of misapplied legal authority and the exploitation of power by legislators.

Hillbilly Elegy

A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

JD Vance

In 'Hillbilly Elegy,' J.D. Vance recounts his life growing up in a dysfunctional family in Middletown, Ohio, with roots in Kentucky's Appalachia. The book details his experiences with poverty, addiction, and family violence, as well as his journey to joining the marines and eventually graduating from Yale Law School. Vance provides a personal and insightful look into the decline of the white working class in America, exploring themes of family, culture, and the loss of the American dream. The memoir also touches on the political swing of the region, particularly in relation to the 2016 presidential election and the appeal of Donald Trump to this demographic.
