This book examines how authority in the United States is organized, how it shifted over time, and why the system now feels unstable and adversarial regardless of which party holds power. It is not about elections or candidates. It is an examination of how the system itself works and how it drifted away from the balance it was designed to maintain. At its core, the book focuses on federalism.

In 1949, George Orwell warned us about doublethink—the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs and accept both as true. He thought he was writing fiction. Every morning, millions of Americans wake up and seamlessly accept impossible contradictions: politicians who simultaneously champion law and order while breaking laws, media outlets that claim objectivity while pushing agendas, and social movements that fight intolerance with intolerance. We've become masters of doublethink without even realizing it.

Fredric Jameson’s most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of ”postmodernism”. Jameson’s inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from “high” art to “low” from market ideology to architecture, from painting to “punk” film, from video art to literature.

In this volume, the professor talks about: the defective copyright-patent mechanism and the introduction of the prototype concept; the succession of lawyers to contract engineers in freedom; the contradiction in terms of so-called contract enforcement; and more.

Who put them in charge? And why did everyone else listen? Government 101: A History of Rule is a gripping walkthrough of how human beings have governed each other — from tribal chiefs and god-kings to empires, revolutions, bureaucracies, and beyond. This isn’t a textbook. It’s not about “how a bill becomes a law.” It’s about power — how it’s taken, how it’s enforced, how it breaks, and how it evolves. JJ breaks down the real story behind human rule.

Weaving together insights from history, economics, sociology, and philosophy, The Permanent Problem offers a synoptic overview of our fateful present moment and a provocative glimpse at what may lie ahead.

Famous for his political treatise The Prince, which advises would-be kings on the best strategies for governing, Machiavelli turns his attention to the inner workings of a successful republic and the people necessary to maintain it in his Discourses on Livy. Comparing contemporary societies to ancient Rome, with examples from Livy’s The History of Rome, Machiavelli tries to identify the foundations of a well-working republic, examining social and political aspects, such as voting, citizenship, warfare and religion.

"Civilized Civil War" is a chilling exploration of the vulnerabilities lurking within modern Western democracies. Drawing on his extensive background in military intelligence and national security, Aaron Hirschi presents a meticulously crafted scenario of how a foreign power – implicitly China – could orchestrate internal conflict in a developed nation without firing a single shot. This groundbreaking analysis delves deep into the strategies and tactics of both the foreign-backed elites (FBE) seeking to subvert democracy and the national resistance forces (NRF) fighting to preserve it.

A distinctive collection of essays capturing Lawrence Freedman's insightful analysis across war, strategy, and foreign policy and providing a unique view of the key thinkers that shaped history.

Much alarm has been raised among Establishment media and politicians about President Trump’s efforts to cut the federal bureaucracy and to force its top officials to be more loyal to him and to those who voted for him. How did we come to find ourselves in a situation where our top national administrators–who exercise immense governing power in our country–think of themselves as independent of the elected president? Why does it create alarm among our elites when the president expects those running the administrative state to carry out his political program?

Este es un relato al más puro estilo de Game of Thrones, pero mexica y verídico, en el que, mientras los dioses hacían su voluntad, los tlatoanis aprendieron que era mejor someter que ser sometidos, explotar que ser explotados y que, para llegar a ser el imperio más poderoso de su época, necesitaban la guerra y hartos sacrificios humanos...

The Prince of Evolution is the evolutionary reframing of one of the most important and controversial political texts in history. It reframes Machiavelli's The Prince as a text expressing a revolutionary political theory that expresses an evolutionary 'best practice' framework for political competition.

Ancient civilizations laid the groundwork for many aspects of modern society. There is no doubt, that we are more technologically advanced, but some of the ways, in which the government functioned, in previous generations are seen in many governments around the world, and this book will highlight some of those topics.

In 1949, George Orwell painted a chilling portrait of a totalitarian future where Big Brother watched every move, the Ministry of Truth rewrote history, and thoughtcrime was punishable by death. Seventy-five years later, his dystopian nightmare has become our digital reality—and we handed over the keys willingly.

Not a memoir, not a manual, not history, and not fiction: this is a scroll. A lived document that uncoils across frostbitten steppe and borderland camps, where drills turn, deals twist, and dignity is held together with duct tape and vodka-stained humor. From Ukraine to Sakhalin, from mud-choked rigs to government saunas, these field-earned ledgers reveal how people survive, adapt, and build in places where permits arrive after the pipelines are already pumping. Some of it reads like farce, some like heartbreak, much like both at once.

Empathy has become a cliché of contemporary politics, often espoused but rarely understood. Yet the capacity to understand other worldviews is neither easy nor comfortable. Seeing through others’ eyes requires strength, courage, integrity, and an ability to reason across the harshest political divides—and, in a time of heightened marginalization, disconnection, and polarization, empathy in our leaders and across society is vitally important.

George Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual. Yet here we are in 2025, living in a world where: AI algorithms predict and manipulate our thoughts before we think them.

Donald Trump is not a big thinker, but his 2016 presidential victory presented a grand opportunity for people who are, and it set off a radicalization and reconfiguration of the American conservative intellectual world. In Furious Minds, Laura Field, who spent close to a decade in conservative academic circles, chronicles the rise of the New Right—the network of academics, public intellectuals, and influencers who provide ideological fuel to Trumpism.
