The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Mobilizing an army of white collar-crime investigators and experts on international law, Baker explores how the West has cracked down on illicit Russian money by targeting oligarchs, one superyacht at a time, and their enablers around the world.

What would you do if your son suddenly disappeared in Syria, and you had no idea what had happened to him? Would you contact the FBI? The State Department? Pray?

Their 30-year-old son Sam, who was attempting to become one of the few people in history to travel to every single country on the planet, vanished in a supposed safe-zone run by the Kurds on the Turkish border.

Story
A compelling mix of reportage and personal experience, The Coming Storm gets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of white supremacists, men's rights activists, tech bros, and radically disenchanted leftists. As we approach the 2024 US presidential election, and perhaps the most perilous moment in the history of American democracy, Gatehouse's book tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides clues about our future.

Story
A large, widening gap has opened between Western democracies' international ambitions and their domestic political capacity to support them. On issues ranging from immigration and international trade to national security, new political parties on the left and the right are rejecting the core foreign policy principles that Western governments have championed for over half a century. In Geopolitics and Democracy, Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation for the rise of anti-globalism in the West.

Story
Democracy and capitalism can be painful, and you don't always like the outcomes. Some days, you win, but most days you lose. Under a dictatorship, life can be good for a time, but your ancestors will eventually starve and end up on a raft headed for a nearby capitalistic country. Marxism makes a lot of sense theoretically, but in practice, every time it has been tried it has failed. This can take a couple of decades, and the success of communism requires a parasitic relationship with a capitalistic system as it has to sell into this mixed market economy to meet the monetary needs of the ...

But how has their interaction changed over time? From the early days of the East India Company through the violence of the Opium Wars to present-day disputes over Hong Kong, Kerry Brown charts this turbulent and intriguing relationship in full.

Story
China, a challenge that looms large, is often depicted as a menacing force to be met with confrontation and containment. In some circles, there is even talk of an inevitable or imminent conflict. The Chinese Communist Party is often cast as a unique axis of evil, a threat to liberal democracies and emerging democracies in Asia and beyond. The Belt and Road Initiative, a sprawling infrastructure project that spans continents, is viewed with suspicion, seen either as a tool for economic subjugation or a pathway to conquest. What if this need not be the case? What if we were to calmly assess, ...

La guerra de Ucrania ha sido horrible para todos en el mundo, especialmente para los europeos y estadounidenses, que se han visto obligados a financiarla con dinero de los impuestos, a pesar de que Boris Johnson detuvo una resolución para poner fin a la guerra en 2022, quien interpuso las conversaciones de paz entre Ucrania y Rusia meses después de que la guerra recién comenzara. Hasta la fecha, millones de personas han perdido la vida y han sido desplazadas, y todos los que viven en Estados Unidos y la eurozona han sufrido más de dos años de inflación, altos costos de energía, ...

The Ukraine War has been horrible for everyone in the world, especially Europeans and Americans who have been made to fund it via tax dollars, despite a resolution to end the war back in 2022 being stopped by Boris Johnson who interjected peace talks between the Ukraine and Russia months after the war had just started. To date, millions of people have lost their lives and been displaced, and everyone living in the US and the eurozone have suffered from over two years of inflation, high energy costs, job loss, mental and physical health issues, and the threat of nuclear war, which didn't ...

Was passiert wirklich in China? – China-Korrespondentin Lea Sahay bietet in diesem Hörbuch exklusive Einblicke in Politik, Wirtschaft und den chinesischen Traum. Lange schien Pekings neo-kommunistische Politik aufzugehen. Die Verbindung von Wachstum, Nationalismus und sozialer Kontrolle sah aus wie eine erfolgreiche Alternative zu westlicher Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft. Doch heute zeigt die Fassade der zweitgrößten Wirtschaftsmacht der Welt Risse: Der Tech-Boom ist vorbei, die Immobilienblase geplatzt und das Gesundheitssystem kollabiert.
