In The Toolbox: Strategies for Crafting Social Impact, celebrated nonprofit executive Jacob Harold delivers an expert guide to doing good in the twenty-first century.

Great powers have attempted for centuries to intervene in elections occurring in other states through various covert and overt methods, with the American intervention in the 2013 Kenyan elections and the Russian intervention in the 2016 US elections being just two recent examples. Indeed, the Americans and the Soviets/Russians intervened in one out of every nine national-level executive elections between 1946 and 2000.

Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was a German businessman, journalist philosopher, historian, political scientist, and revolutionary socialist. Engels developed Marxism together with Karl Marx. In 1848, Engels coauthored The Communist Manifesto (originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party) with Marx.

Was macht einen gerechten Staat aus? Was schafft Wohlstand, was Frieden, was müssen wir Menschen lernen? Unsere Box vereint diese Grundlagentexte der politischen Theorie: "Die Kunst des Krieges" (Sun Tzu), "Die Apologie des Sokrates" (Platon), "Der Fürst" (N. Machiavelli), "Der Weg zum Wohlstand" (B. Franklin), "Was ist Aufklärung?" (I. Kant), "Der hessische Landbote" (G. Büchner), "Das kommunistische Manifest" (K. Marx / F. Engels), "Die protestantische Ethik" (M. Weber).

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had a profound influence on the shape of 19th-century thought and political discourse. His view of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to the unrestricted state. Mill favoured decentralised forms of socialism because he thought that a centralised model would discourage competition, neglect talent, and disregard freedom.

Auf dem Campus wurde Franca Bauernfeind als „Nazi-Schlampe“ beschimpft und ihre Wahlplakate wurden beschmiert. Aber trotz oder gerade aufgrund ihrer liberal-konservativen Positionen gewann sie die Wahl zum Studierendenrat der Universität Erfurt. Anhand von ihren Erfahrungen gibt sie einen tiefen Einblick in die (gesellschafts-)politischen Mechanismen des Hochschulbetriebs: Wer sich an der Universität nicht im linken und oftmals linksextremen Meinungskorridor bewegt, wird diffamiert und ausgegrenzt.

John Locke (1632 - 1704), the English philosopher and physician, is widely regarded as one of the Enlightenment's most influential thinkers. "A Letter Concerning Toleration" (1689) addresses the problem of religion and government by proposing religious toleration as the answer. In the "Second Treatise", Locke claims that civil society was created for the protection of life, liberty, and estate.

One day in the spring of 2013, a box appeared outside a fourth-floor apartment door in Brooklyn. The recipient, who didn't know the sender, only knew she was supposed to bring this box to a friend, who would ferry it to another friend. Thus the biggest national security leak of the digital era was launched via the US Postal Service. This is just one of the odd, ironic details that emerges from the story of how Jessica Bruder and Dale Maharidge, two experienced journalists but security novices got drawn into the Edward Snowden story as behind-the-scenes players.
