Just before the Roaring Twenties, Al Smith, a proud son of the Tammany Hall political machine, and Franklin Roosevelt, a country squire, formed an unlikely alliance that transformed the Democratic Party. Smith and FDR dominated politics in the most-powerful state in the union for a quarter-century, and in 1932, they ran against each other for the Democratic presidential nomination, setting off one of the great feuds in American history. The relationship between Smith and Roosevelt, portrayed here, is one of the most dramatic untold stories of early 20th-century American politics.

From Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to Glenn Beck and Matt Drudge, Americans think of right-wing media as integral to contemporary conservatism. But today's well-known personalities make up the second generation of broadcasting and publishing activists. Messengers of the Right tells the story of the little-known first generation.

The Decline and Rise of Democracy draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richer - democratic practices were present in many places at many other times. David Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourished - and when and why they declined - can provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future.

Moral rules are comforting—until they fail you. You were told to always tell the truth. Never steal. Treat everyone the same. But real life doesn’t play by those rules. You’ve seen it: the lie that saves a friendship. The theft that feeds a starving child. The promise that’s better broken. These aren't exceptions. They're reminders that morality is messier than we admit—and far more interesting. This isn’t a book about what to think. It’s a book about how to see. Moral Particularism: A Beginner’s Guide – Making Sense of Morality in a Messy World introduces a refreshingly ...

It is part of a tradition of counting people that goes back at least three millennia and now spans the globe.

The enemies of man include both left and right. In order to decide what our futures should be, we must understand what left and right have in common, and what is keeping us from advancing proper principles. We should understand what is wrong with both left and right.

One of the most unique aspects of anarchism as a political philosophy is that it seeks to abolish the state. But what exactly is “the state”? The State is like a vast operating system for ordering and controlling relations among human society, the economy, and the natural world, analogous to a digital operating system.
