Allred brings his syllabus to life by pairing music videos and songs with historical and academic texts, and combines analysis with classroom anecdotes.

To create broad-based and sustainable economic growth, governments in the developing world should foster market-creating innovation - that is, the generation of new products and services that reach an entirely new population of customers.

Imagine life without electricity. With no lights, electric stove, or water pump, you must travel miles to fetch water and firewood, running a particular risk of attack if you are a girl or a woman. At home, you cook over a smoky stove or an open fire, raising your odds of getting lung and heart disease. If you are pregnant, you may die in the dark, giving birth at a clinic that lacks air conditioning and modern medical equipment. Without vaccines, which require refrigeration, your children remain vulnerable to deadly diseases.

After two and a half decades, is the United States’ run as the world’s sole superpower coming to an end? Many say yes, seeing a rising China ready to catch up to or even surpass the United States in the near future. China’s economy is on track to become the world’s biggest, and even if its growth slows, it will still outpace that of the United States for many years. Beijing has used its new wealth to attract friends, deter enemies, modernize its military, and aggressively assert sovereignty claims.

The Western business community is optimistic that Xi could begin a push for long-awaited reforms. It shouldn't be.

Recent Chinese policies have fueled concerns that the country seeks to overturn the post–Cold War geopolitical order. But China is not the only revisionist power in Asia. Just as Chinese revisionism alarms Washington, the United States’ promotion of the liberal order stokes fear in Beijing and beyond.

Solar power has been declared a winner before, only to flounder. It’s easy to remain skeptical today, given that solar power accounts for less than one percent of the global energy supply. But it is also expanding faster than any other power source, with an average growth rate of 50 percent a year for the past six years. This time really is different: solar power is ready to compete on its own terms.

At the end of September, Russia began conducting air strikes in Syria, ostensibly to combat terrorist groups. The strikes constitute Russia’s biggest intervention in the Middle East in decades. Its unanticipated military foray into Syria has transformed the civil war there into a proxy US-Russian conflict and has raised the stakes in the ongoing standoff between Moscow and Washington.

As China’s global power grows, Beijing is learning that its image matters.

Two weeks after the failed Turkish coup attempt, there are still questions about the full extent of the plot and who, exactly, was involved. Still, it is possible to make some educated guesses.
