SUMMARY:Yotam Marom at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Yotam Marom—leading activist\, organizer\, and co-founder of IfNotNow and the Wildfire Project—for a discussion of his debut book\, For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness. He will be joined in conversation by Marshall Ganz—Rita E. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership\, Organizing and Civil Society at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government\, and the author of People\, Power\, Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal. \nAbout For Louder Days\nThe essential guide to establishing an effective opposition movement in the age of Trump\, from the leading activist and organizer. \nThere is no way to stop the descent into authoritarianism\, nor win a world in which all people can thrive\, without massive numbers of people organizing for social\, political\, and economic change. \nYet experienced movement leader Yotam Marom delivers a hard truth: progressive and left movements too often get in their own way. They can be ambivalent about power\, choosing insularity and purity over winning. This amounts to what Marom calls the “politics of powerlessness\,” which has kept movements small\, weak\, and defeated.

SUMMARY:Justin Baer at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Justin Baer—award-winning journalist and editor for The Wall Street Journal—for a discussion of his new book\, House of Fidelity: The Rise of the Johnson Dynasty and the Company That Changed American Investing. He will be joined in conversation by Bill Haynes—founder of BackBay Communications and recently retired financial services communications professional\, having spent nearly 40 years in the field. \nAbout House of Fidelity\nThe gripping\, definitive account of the private family behind one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world.  \nWhen Edward C. Johnson 2d founded Fidelity in 1946\, investing was a pursuit reserved for the elite. Today\, more than $15 trillion flows through Fidelity’s customer accounts and investment funds—touching the lives of one in five American adults. Fidelity helped invent modern retail investing: democratizing access to mutual funds\, introducing the 401(k)\, and upending the need for traditional brokers. But behind the scenes of this financial juggernaut is a family saga unlike any other. \nIn House of Fidelity\, veteran journalist Justin Baer tells the definitive story of the Johnsons—a New England dynasty that fiercely guarded control of their company while reshaping Wall Street. From the founder’s bold leap into Boston’s insular investing circles\, to the meteoric rise of Peter Lynch\, to behind-closed-doors battles over succession and legacy\, Baer reveals a company and a family locked in a delicate balance of innovation\, influence\, and internal power struggles. \nHouse of Fidelity is a sweeping history of American investing—and the dynasty that came to define it. \nPraise for House of Fidelity\nHouse of Fidelity pulls the curtain back on one of the country’s most powerful and mysterious financial institutions…It’s a must read.” —William D. Cohan\, New York Times bestselling author of Power Failure \n“House of Fidelity is an important book\, an engrossing\, lively look at the transformation of both the nation’s most important investment firm — and modern-day financial markets.”—Gregory Zuckerman\, author of The Man Who Solved the Market
