Multilateral organizations' unbridled and top-heavy mission creep has enabled bureaucrats to run amok against the tides of change. Their Brahmin bureaucracies have in essence been surviving on a Ponzi scheme, devouring the trust placed in them while marketing greater expectations. They have been blown off course from their core missions and have lost their fitness. Poor management of errant staffs has stunted these entities from anticipating in and effectively advising on our rapidly evolving political geography.

In an age where truth is both overexposed and inaccessible, the figure of the conspiracist returns—not as a madman, but as a symptom. Suspicion, long treated as a cognitive flaw or ideological threat, emerges here as a form of knowledge-in-waiting: a structure of interpretation forged at the intersection of betrayal, memory, and power. This book offers a rigorous examination of conspiracy thinking, not to defend its conclusions, but to understand its function.

The dark arts have long been part of global politics, but digital systems expand their scope and scale.

It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective reading of Italian Fascism or National Socialism.

Drawing on extensive interviews with abolitionist crews all over North America, Herzing and Piché provide a collective reconstruction of what the grassroots movement to abolish prisons actually is, what initiatives it has launched, how it organizes itself, and how its protagonists build the day-to-day practice of politics.

Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it. In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone.

Taught in forty-nine short lessons, Sheehan takes listeners on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture.
