For centuries we’ve been sold a lie: that you need to own the land to care for it. Just 1% of the population own half of England, and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside. They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?

In order to resolve the significant racial, ethnic, language, and financial inequities that exist in healthcare quality and access, health systems must undertake the development of systematic approaches to advance diversity, inclusion, and health equity.

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

A well respected urban writer who has focused on New York's transportation system for more than a decade, author Nicole Gelinas resumes the story where Robert Caro's landmark The Power Broker ended.

How will the United States and China evolve militarily in the years ahead? Many experts believe the answer to this question is largely unknowable. But Zack Cooper argues that the American and Chinese militaries are following a well-trodden path. For centuries, the world's most powerful militaries have adhered to a remarkably consistent pattern of behavior, determined largely by their leaders' perceptions of relative power shifts. By uncovering these trends, this book places the evolving military competition between the United States and China in historical context.

"Copaganda" is a special kind of propaganda employed by police, prosecutors, and news media. It stokes fear of police-recorded crime and distorts society’s responses to it. As the United States incarcerates five times more people per capita than it did in 1970—despite record low crime rates—a sprawling and profitable punishment bureaucracy spends a lot of time and money to manipulate what we think that bureaucracy does and why.

Israele stava già attraversando un periodo di crisi drammatica prima del criminale attacco del 7 ottobre 2023. Grandi manifestazioni chiedevano a gran voce le dimissioni di Netanyahu e del suo governo e il paese era praticamente bloccato.

Ein Funke—oder auch: ein Taurus-Marschflugkörper—genügt und in Deutschland herrscht Krieg. Grausamer und schlimmer als wir es uns vorstellen können. Ein Krieg, der unser aller Ende werden kann. Weshalb also haben deutsche Politiker noch immer keine Strategie entworfen, um den Krieg in der Ukraine politisch zu beenden? Diese Frage stellt Ex-General Erich Vad und entwirft ein furchterregendes Szenario, sollte der Ukraine-Krieg aus dem Ruder laufen und nach Deutschland übergreifen.

Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis.

America was once a country that did big things—we built the world’s greatest rail network, a vast electrical grid, interstate highways, abundant housing, the Social Security system, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and more. But today, even while facing a host of pressing challenges—a housing shortage, a climate crisis, a dilapidated infrastructure—we feel stuck, unable to move the needle. Why?

Dla kogo transformacja energetyczna jest tak ważna i o co w niej tak naprawdę chodzi? Dlaczego Komisja Europejska agresywnie wymusza na państwach członkowskich przestawienie się na odnawialne źródła energii? Dlaczego działania te przebiegają w tak inwazyjny sposób, że nie ma miejsca na weryfikację naukową i zdroworozsądkowy sprzeciw? Z jakiego powodu eurokraci próbują pozbawić nas suwerenności energetycznej? Czy narzucanie inwestycji w odnawialne źródła energii ma doprowadzić do uzależnienia Europy od rosyjskich surowców?

Bankruptcy is the busiest federal court in America. In theory, bankruptcy in America exists to cancel or restructure debts for people and companies that have way too many—a safety valve designed to provide a mechanism for restarting lives and businesses when things go wrong financially. Legal scholar Melissa B. Jacoby shows how bankruptcy has also become an escape hatch for powerful individuals, corporations, and governments, contributing in unseen and poorly understood ways to race, gender, and class inequality in America.

Since the collapse of the housing market in 2008, demand for housing has consistently outpaced supply in many US communities. The failure to construct sufficient housing—especially affordable housing—in desirable communities and neighborhoods comes with significant social, economic, and environmental costs.

Wie die Allianz der Diktatoren Putin und Xi Jinping die Freiheit bedroht. Die sicherheitspolitische Weltlage gleicht einem Pulverfass – während Russland seit 2014 in der Ukraine einen Krieg führt, rasselt China im Südpazifik mit den Säbeln. Gleichzeitig droht im Nahen Osten auch der Konflikt zwischen Iran und Israel vollends zu eskalieren. Der renommierte Experte für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Ulrich Speck zeigt in seinem politischen Sachbuch, dass die Eskalation der Weltlage kein Zufall ist, sondern gezielt von zwei revisionistischen Weltmächten vorangetrieben wurde.

Deutschlands energiepolitischer Sonderweg könnte zur Sackgasse werden. Kurz vor Abschluss des Atomausstiegs fiel mit Russlands Angriff auf die Ukraine ...

Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia, la gran parte dell’umanità vive in città, spesso in megalopoli con oltre 10 milioni di abitanti. Ma cosa rende...

Tra israeliani e palestinesi chi ha torto e chi ha ragione? Chi sono i "buoni" e chi i "cattivi"? Gli israeliani, che "da vittime si sono trasformati in carnefici"? O i palestinesi, che "non vogliono altro che distruggere Israele"? E quando comincia il conflitto? A fine Ottocento, con la nascita del sionismo, negli anni Venti del Novecento o nel 1948, quando Israele viene attaccato dai paesi arabi "con l’obiettivo di annientarlo", o quando si verifica la "pulizia etnica dei palestinesi"? E perché la pace non è mai stata raggiunta?
