The Cold War seemingly ended in a decisive victory for the West. But now, Noah Feldman argues, we are entering an era of renewed global struggle: the era of Cool War. Just as the Cold War matched the planet’s reigning superpowers in a contest for geopolitical supremacy, so this new age will pit the United States against a rising China in a contest for dominance, alliances, and resources. Already visible in Asia, the conflict will extend to the Middle East (U.S.-backed Israel versus Chinese-backed Iran), Africa, and beyond.

Pick an environmental issue. Maybe air pollution, toxic waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices, but none of these is actually an environmental problem—at least, not at its heart. Deep down, they are economic problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's current market system. This is emphatically true of our greatest environmental threat: global warming. With a focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that enable environmental degradation.

Charles Booker grew up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Kentucky, living in the largely segregated West End of Louisville. Faith and love were everything in his family, but material comforts were scarce. The electricity was sometimes shut off. His mother often went hungry so her son could eat. Even after he graduated from law school, Booker rationed the insulin he took for diabetes. Determined to build a world in which poverty and racism would not plague future generations, he charted his own course into Kentucky politics, a world dominated by the myth of an urban-rural divide.

Ever noticed how leadership theories can disintegrate in the face of real-world challenges? That’s frustrating, whether you’re a busy executive or a developing leader. On the other hand, purely reactive problem-solving is like bailing water from a ship without ever patching the leaks. With no reflection, no structure, no guiding vision, your temporary fixes won’t last, and soon you’re bailing water again.

First identified by journalist Jeff Howe in a June 2006 Wired article, “crowdsourcing” describes the process by which the power of the many can be leveraged to accomplish feats that were once the province of the specialized few.

Crowdsourcing activates the transformative power of today’s technology, liberating the latent potential within us all. It’s a perfect meritocracy, where age, gender, race, education, and job history no longer matter.

Estos tres libros de cuentos se pliegan, se abren y desencriptan eso que llamamos realidad: las calles de los pueblos y los caminos del campo; el aburrimiento; las conductas esperadas y las inimaginables. Sus personajes—domesticados por el trabajo, la escuela, las liturgias masculinas, la familia o las mujeres—resisten, se afanan ante el aburrimiento con el sexo o el ocio, todas formas del dejarse estar. O rebelarse. Lírico en las descripciones, increíblemente sutil, el autor se manifiesta como un creador omnipotente y benévolo, un comediante lúcido y un observador sagaz.

Voting is our most important right as Americans—“the right that protects all the others,” as Lyndon Johnson famously said when he signed the Voting Rights Act—but it’s also the one most violently contested throughout US history. Since the gutting of the act in the landmark Shelby County v. Holder case in 2013, many states have passed laws restricting the vote.
