    Robert Moses, Lyndon Johnson and Robert Caro - THE OFFICE AND THE MAN Book 6 - Part 04

    New York and the Texas Hill Country, 1888 to 2012. Robert Moses held as many as twelve appointive offices at once and was elected to nothing. Lyndon Johnson arrived in Washington as a congressman's secretary and learned the building before he learned the politics. Half a century later a former Newsday reporter sat down to explain how either of them had actually done it, and found that the question could not be answered in a year, or in nine hundred pages, or without moving to the county where the story started. What follows is an account of political power as an operating problem — files, appointments, timetables, who holds the pen — and of the documentary method built to catch it, measured against the oldest lives in the canon. Covers Robert Moses, Lyndon Johnson, Robert Caro, Little Congress, Congress of the United States, and Newsday. Narrated with a synthetic voice.

    Blake Mycoskie, Jasmine Crowe-Houston and TOMS - THE MISSION AND THE PAYROLL Book 6 - Part 04

    Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, Atlanta and rural El Salvador, 2002 to 2024. A Texan with four failed-and-sold businesses behind him watches a shoe drive in Argentina and works out that a donation can be sold as a feature of a product. The company he builds gives away a hundred million pairs of shoes and is valued at six hundred and twenty-five million dollars, and then economists run a randomized trial on the giving and find almost nothing, and the lenders take the company. Twelve hundred miles east, a woman who has spent a decade building charities for other people looks at the same problem — free goods, hungry people, a broken supply line — and refuses the charitable form entirely. She bills for the pickup instead. Covers Blake Mycoskie, Jasmine Crowe-Houston, TOMS, and Goodr. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
