As countries around the world turn away from a century-long War on Drugs, issues of addiction, impoverishment and dangerous drug deaths continue to sky-rocket. Instead of advancing the course of social justice, drug law reform is helping hedge funds, tech companies, oil companies and tobacco companies investing in drugs to get even richer. Koram enters the interconnected worlds of high finance and the cocaine trade, khat with narco-terrorism and the tobacco companies trying to use legal drugs to rebrand themselves as wellness companies.

In 1960, Barry Goldwater set forth his brief manifesto in The Conscience of a Conservative. Written at the height of the Cold War and in the wake of America’s greatest experiment with big government, the New Deal, Goldwater’s message was not only remarkable, but radical. He argued for the value and importance of conservative principles—freedom, foremost among them—in contemporary political life. Using the principles he espoused in this concise but powerful book, Goldwater fundamentally altered the political landscape of his day—and ours.

Republicanism is arguably the most powerful political idea in history, an extraordinary feat of human imagination that balances individual liberty with collective responsibility. The Environmental Republic reclaims this idea as the path to sustaining our life together on a changing planet, reframing our relationship to the environment not as a constraint on liberty but as its republican foundation.

Around 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose last year—nearly double the number who died in Vietnam. More than 1,000,000 have perished since 2000, thanks largely to an explosion of fentanyl and other addictive opioids. But fentanyl, abundant methamphetamine, and other lethal drugs are not the only things that are killing us: our policy is. So far, America has lacked the will to do better. That must change, and this book tells us how.

America's Founders placed great confidence in schools, which they believed would teach young people to understand our political system and to engage in reasoned political debate as adults. Yet today, when virtually all Americans graduate from high school, we remain stunningly ignorant of history and government. In The Cradle of Citizenship, James Traub chronicles his year of observing public schools across the country, talking to teachers, scholars, and curriculum designers.

Recently, it has become increasingly evident that extreme concentrations of wealth and power have profound impacts on our politics, but extreme inequality's influence on our daily lives—and our futures—has been vastly overlooked. In Burned by Billionaires, author and a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC, Chuck Collins chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us.

As Jacob Hornberger details in this primer, there is one solution to this border morass. That solution is “open borders” — genuine open borders — that is, the dissolution of the Border Patrol, ICE, and all restrictions on the free movements of goods, services, and people across our international borders. This book shows that not only are open borders the only solution to the ongoing, never-ending, perpetual crisis, chaos, suffering, death, and immigration police state along the border, they are also the only solution that is consistent with religious, free-market, and moral principles as well.

Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care.

For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.

The world may have committed at Paris to hold back dangerous climate change, but Australia's fossil-fuel giant Woodside is doubling down: it has bold new plans to keep producing gas out to 2070. Support from the major parties is locked in, so something has to give. This is a story of power and influence, pollution and protest. How does one company capture a country? How convincing is Woodside's argument that gas is a necessary transition fuel, as the world decarbonises? And what is the new "energy realism" narrative being pushed by Trump's White House?

Essa pergunta intriga pais e pedagogos do mundo inteiro, e a resposta mais comum tende a ser que o potencial de sucesso de uma criança varia de acordo com sua inteligência. Mas, nas últimas décadas, pesquisadores vêm constatando que notas altas e testes de QI não são indicadores de uma educação de qualidade — e muito menos uma garantia de sucesso na vida. O jornalista Paul Tough coloca em debate o atual paradigma da educação e questiona o valor dado à ideia de que uma criança bem-sucedida é aquela capaz de memorizar todo o conteúdo transmitido na sala de aula.
