Mr Bloom explores a wide range of psychological and sociological characteristics, such as hypocrisy among leaders. For example, how the Ayatollah of Iran criticised the Shah for the latter's harsh treatment of drug criminals, only to have a higher count of executions when he came to rule Iran in 1979. He also talks about how hierarchies are enforced within the animal kingdom and in human societies, among other topics.
Mr McRee talks about the privacy that cash allows us to have, the misuse of police power in being able to seize cash just by accusing a link to drug money, the overreaching powers of tax agencies, and how banks and governemtns look to destroy cash as to enforce negative interst rates on public (charging people that save money, forcing them to consoom products and stimulate the GDP, albeit inflation already achieves this to some extent).
Ms Veliz talks about how your personal information is used against use, for example when applying for health insurance (one example she gives is if you conduct a DNA ancestry test, you are required by your insurance company to provide this test or otherwise your insurance will be void if they find out through a third party), as well as ongoing rdata breaches risks, and how privacy is a collective and not an individual matter.
Mr Orlov reflects on his experiences in the USSR during the 1980s and the similarities he sees in the US now. He warns that an American collapse would be far worse than the one Russia faced in the 90s. One example he gives is that in the USSR, everyone had their own allocated government housing, so upon the collapse, citizens simply inherited their shelter. In America, many citizens don't have their own place to live, and this could lead to a struggle between residents and landlords.

I start off using the regular GCSE/A-Level textbooks used in British schools, preferring the latest available version, although one textbook I have is from 2009.
