Must the sins of America's past poison its hope for the future? Lately the American Left, withdrawing into the ivied halls of academe to rue the nation's shame, has answered "yes" in both word and deed. In Achieving Our Country, one of America's foremost philosophers challenges this lost generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the great tradition of democratic intellectual labor that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.

We live in a world of influence operations run amok, a world of dark ads, psy-ops, hacks, bots, soft facts, ISIS, Putin, trolls, Trump. We've lost not only our sense of peace and democracy - but our sense of what those words even mean. As Peter Pomerantsev seeks to make sense of the disinformation age, he meets Twitter revolutionaries and pop-up populists, 'behavioural change' salesmen, Jihadi fan-boys, Identitarians, truth cops and much more.

In The Problem with Work, Kathi Weeks boldly challenges the presupposition that work, or waged labor, is inherently a social and political good. Taking up Marxist and feminist critiques, Weeks proposes a postwork society that would allow people to be productive and creative rather than relentlessly bound to the employment relation.

Fukuyama examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West.

The intelligence failures surrounding the invasion of Iraq dramatically illustrate the necessity of developing standards for evaluating expert opinion. This audiobook fills that need. Here, Philip E. Tetlock explores what constitutes good judgment in predicting future events, and looks at why experts are often wrong in their forecasts. Tetlock first discusses arguments about whether the world is too complex for people to find the tools to understand political phenomena, let alone predict the future.

The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule, and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination?

・「あのとき」の記憶 　ＩＯＣのジャック・ロゲ名誉会長が開催地の記されたカードを反転させて、そこにJAPANという文字が見えたとき、日本中が上を下への大騒ぎとなった。オリンピック東京招致が決まったのである。 　いや、日本中というのは大げさで、日本国民の三分の一ぐらいは複雑な気持ちでこのニュースを聞いたはずだ。ただ、興奮状態にある空気が複雑派、疑問派、反対派の声をかき消した。そのうちの多くは、つまりもろ手を挙げて大騒ぎできなかった人々の多くは、一九六四年の東京五輪を実際に見てきた団塊の世代あたりの人々ではなかったかと思う。私もその一人である。 　その理由を書きたいと思う。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

I modi in cui è avvenuta l'unificazione italiana hanno fatto sì che il nuovo Stato abbia dovuto affrontare in rapida successione sfide che altrove sono state diluite nell'arco di secoli. Ciò ha lasciato segni evidenti sul successivo sviluppo politico e sulle architetture istituzionali. L'audiolibro ne dà conto in modo aggiornato, dall'assetto bipolare competitivo degli anni novanta alla crisi finanziaria del 2008 e al suo impatto sulle istituzioni, fino alle recenti riforme del governo Renzi.

Based on an actual criminal investigation and trial, Seymour Wishman's Anatomy of a Jury carries us from the crime scene to the courthouse to the jury room, providing a fascinating, in depth look into the nation's criminal justice system. Riveting, detailed, and intensely dramatic, Wishman's remarkable book offers provocative insights into how we administer justice, how we judge others, and how others may judge us.

The chaotic events leading up to Mitt Romney's defeat in the 2012 election indicated how far the Republican Party had rocketed rightward away from the center of public opinion. Republicans in Congress threatened to shut down the government and force a U.S. debt default. Tea Party activists mounted primary challenges against Republican officeholders who appeared to exhibit too much pragmatism or independence. Moderation and compromise were dirty words in the Republican presidential debates. The GOP, it seemed, had suddenly become a party of ideological purity. Except this development is not new at all.

A wonderfully illuminating and witty guide to every -ism you could ever want explained. Entries include every -ism under the sun, from Absurdism to Militarism to Zoroastrianism.

Why is the Atlantic slowly filling with crude petroleum, threatening a millions-of-years-old ecological balance? Why did traders at prominent banks take high-risk gambles with the money entrusted to them by hundreds of thousands of clients around the world, expanding and leveraging their investments to the point that failure led to a global financial crisis that left millions of people jobless and hundreds of cities economically devastated?

Paul Collier reveals that 50 failed states - home to the poorest one billion people on earth - pose the central challenge of the developing world in the 21st century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards.

The secret to good government is a question no one in Washington is asking: “What’s the right thing to do?” What’s wrong in Washington is deeper than you think. Sure, there’s gridlock, polarization, and self-dealing. But hidden underneath is something bigger and more destructive. It’s a broken governing system. From that comes wasteful government, rising debt, failing schools, expensive health care, and economic hardship.

菅義偉首相は自民党総裁選挙前に「地銀は数が多すぎるのではないか」と発言。翌日に再編について「選択肢の１つ」と踏み込み地銀に再編を迫った。首相がここまで踏み込むのは、地銀を取り巻く環境が劇的に

■問題とともにある、ということ いろんな問題が顕在化するなかで、その先送りができなくなってくる。そんな時 期に差し掛かってきたように思います。2011年の原発事故に端を発するエネルギ ー問題、外交問題、社会保障関連の改革を含む財政問題……。 こうした問題を一気に解決する妙案というのは、ありません。社会のように複雑 な要素が絡み合った世界では、試行錯誤が必要になります。喩えて言うならば、 急にあらゆる病気が治ってしまうことはないのと同じです。 経済についても、「こうすれば解決」みたいな話がよく出ていますが、僕は眉唾 だと思っています。実体経済は、よくも悪くも変化するのに時間がかかります。 もし瞬時に解決される方法があるとすれば、それは実体とかけ離れたものだとい うことになるでしょう。問題をすり替えて、「○○が悪い」的な論調で単純化し て語る人たちには、要注意だと思っています。 （本文より） 小山龍介の「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

——あるとき、筆者は町内の子供会会長を引き受けることになり、LINEのグループで連絡を取り合うことになった。地域の育児コミュニティでLINEを実際活用してみて気づいたことやメリット、デメリットなどを語っていく——。うちの町内の子供会会長を引き受けることになった。実はその選任の日にちょうど子供とネットの講演がかち合ったため、やむなく選任会を欠席することになったのだが、抽選で妙な役が当たるよりも、いっそのこと会長やったほうが誰の言うことも聞かなくていいので楽なんじゃないか、と思ったのだ。（本文より） 小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html
