O capitalismo está morto. Bem-vindo ao tecnofeudalismoAs dinâmicas tradicionais do capitalismo não governam mais a economia. O que destituiu esse sistema foi o próprio capital e as mudanças tecnológicas aceleradas das últimas duas décadas, que, como um vírus, destruíram seu hospedeiro. Os dois pilares que sustentavam o capitalismo foram substituídos: os mercados deram lugar às plataformas digitais, que são verdadeiros feudos das grandes tecnologias, e o lucro foi substituído pela pura extração de rendas.

Billions lack safe water. AI drives energy demand. Resources and time are scarce. Climate anxiety rises; old solutions can't keep up What if the answer is a technology set aside decades ago—not for failure, but because gas was cheap and this fuel wasn't weaponized? Thorium.

The machines are already here. They diagnose diseases, trade stocks, drive trucks, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization running. Most of us barely notice. But the quiet accumulation of autonomous capability is approaching a threshold beyond which everything changes: the nature of work, the distribution of wealth, the quality of our collective decisions, and even what it means to be a person.

As government offices, corporations, and campuses dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs amid intensifying political backlash, a new book from Yale University Press argues that public debate has lost sight of DEI’s origins. In The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea, Berkeley Law Professor David B. Oppenheimer reconstructs the two-century history of diversity as an intellectual and institutional principle, one rooted in the origins of the modern research university, the development of free speech doctrine, and the science of decision making.

Un análisis provocador, lúcido y brutalmente honesto sobre el colapso de Occidente Hubo un tiempo en que los hombres cruzaban océanos en barcos de vapor, creían en Dios, en el Estado y en la ducha fría. No porque fueran espartanos, sino porque no tenían más remedio. Hoy, en cambio, somos...

Surgeons and health care professionals are trained to fix the human body, but they are poorly prepared for the nonclinical realities that accompany their careers—complications, harsh criticism, difficult personalities, leadership failures, and the silent weight of moral injury. Most try to push through by imitating senior colleagues who were never taught the nontechnical skills either, and the result can lead to guilt, anxiety, shame, and the belief that they’re the only ones struggling.

Offener Fremdenhass, rechtes Gedankengut, das salonfähig geworden ist, eine heillos zerstrittene bürgerliche Mitte – Bestsellerautor und Fernsehmoderator Michel Abdollahi durchleuchtet die Abgründe der deutschen Gegenwart und zeichnet das Lagebild einer Gesellschaft, in der Menschen mit Migrationsgeschichte mehr und mehr als Fremdkörper wahrgenommen werden. Abdollahi geht dahin, wo es wehtut und benennt Missstände deutlich und pointiert. Zugleich zeigt er auf, wie eine Wende gelingen kann hin zu einem friedvollen und vielfältigen Miteinander ohne Rassismus und Populismus.

Ab 2030 droht eine komplette Überlastung unseres Gesundheitssystems und ein gravierender Sozialkollaps.

As OPEC has loosened its grip over the past ten years, the oil market has been rocked by wild price swings, the likes of which haven't been seen for eight decades. Crafting an engrossing journey from the gushing Pennsylvania oil fields of the 1860s to today's fraught and fractious Middle East, Crude Volatility explains how past periods of stability and volatility in oil prices help us understand the new boom-bust era.

American democracy depends on united support by the largest economic class in the nation—the middle class. But this class faces a crisis of internal division, threatening America’s future. If conflict continues to worsen, it could lead to violence, threatening democracy itself. Since the 1980s, the upper middle class—the affluent group just below the top one percent—has reaped far more benefit from economic growth than the rest of the class. This division has provoked anger among those without the opportunity to move up.
