Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE business books in our special list show a real Dunkirk spirit: No 1 is a bookstraps story; No 2 is about a Brazilian experiement to do away with managers; Charles Handy, at No 3, discusses life without work. It's tough out there, they're saying: we've almost all bitten the dust, but we're fighting back. One notable exception (quaintly old-fashioned, it doesn't even hint at the possibility of dust-biting) is the alluringly entitled Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. This has been selling strongly ever since its publication in 1992 - which just goes to show, we think, that business people are romantics at heart. Because, once past the dedication 'To my colleagues, empowered and empowering', and the thanks to 'my proactive literary agent and my 'can-do' assistant', and the other eye-watering jargon, the reassuringly repeated gobbledegook, the charts and diagrams for 'personal change' seem just like a set of medieval spells. The alchemy of success, yours for only pounds 10.99.
