America's political parties are hollow shells of what they could be, locked in a polarized struggle for power and unrooted as civic organizations. The Hollow Parties takes listeners from the rise of mass party politics in the Jacksonian era through the years of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Today's parties, overbearing and ineffectual, have emerged from the interplay of multiple party traditions that reach back to the Founding.

In The End Is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.

Ucrania lleva tres décadas siendo un tapón de seguridad para Europa, y si la OTAN la quisiera como parte de la alianza, ya la habría dejado entrar. El presidente Putin ha venido a jugar, y él y el resto de Rusia no tienen nada que perder . El principal ganador de todo esto será China, ya que reconstruirá toda la región, se beneficiará mucho de los préstamos y podrá usar la guerra para desviar la debacle de COVID19 que ellos mismos crearon. Al menos ahora, conocemos la verdadera intención detrás de la liberación de COVID19, y debemos esperar acciones militares similares en el ...

Mientras estaba sentado en Joe's Coffee luchando por escribir poesía, disipé un argumento y gasté $20; Puede que no haya cambiado mi vida, pero me dio cierta perspectiva. Es posible que no se haya enseñado sobre Myanmar, formalmente conocido como Birmania, en las muchas clases de historia de primaria a terciaria que he tomado, o que el maestro o profesor haya pasado por alto elocuentemente el tema. En realidad, probablemente fue lo último, ya que su historia, su gente y su futuro son un rompecabezas gigante, que muchos analistas dentro de la región e internacionalmente no creen que ...

Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly 80 to 100 years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about 25 years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization.

Este libro es un análisis de Gandhi, de lo que predicaba y del defecto fundamental que subyace en su esperanza para la India y en sus críticas a Gran Bretaña. Seamos claros, Gandhi predicaba la paz y la tolerancia, que están recogidas en los Vedas y son practicadas por el 80% de la población de la India, ya que forman parte del hecho de ser hindú. El defecto fatal de Gandhi fue que había olvidado la historia de la región y subestimado la importancia de la religión para su pueblo y otras tribus de la región. Fue asesinado por Nathuram Godse y un grupo de otros fundamentalistas ...

Se han gastado billones de dólares en la lucha contra la adicción a las drogas y la importación ilegal de narcóticos en los EE. UU. y en muchos otros países del mundo. Los adultos deben tener la libertad de elegir usar narcóticos o no, y los contribuyentes tienen derecho a no financiar programas gubernamentales inflados que perpetúan el uso de drogas a través de la especulación como resultado de la prohibición. Las prisiones del mundo deberían estar llenas de personas que cometen delitos violentos, no de consumidores y traficantes de drogas. La fabricación de estupefacientes es ...

Is the Constitution a living document that needs to evolve with the times? Or should we try to divine the original meaning that our Founding Fathers intended, and hew to that as strictly as possible, as present-day originalists suggest? In The Year of Living Constitutionally, A.J. Jacobs tries to get inside the minds of the Founding Fathers by living as closely as possible to the original meaning of the Constitution.

Robert Caro's monumental book makes public what few outsiders knew: that Robert Moses was the single most powerful man of his time in the City and in the State of New York. And in telling the Moses story, Caro both opens up to an unprecedented degree the way in which politics really happens—the way things really get done in America's City Halls and Statehouses—and brings to light a bonanza of vital information about such national figures as Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt (and the genesis of their blood feud), about Fiorello La Guardia, John V. Lindsay and Nelson Rockefeller.
