Many see China's rise as a threat to US leadership in Asia and beyond. Thomas J. Christensen argues instead that the real challenge lies in dissuading China from regional aggression while eliciting its global cooperation.

Assessing China's political outlook and strategic goals, Christensen shows how nationalism and the threat of domestic instability influence the party's decisions about regional and global affairs.

In this book, Nobel Prize-winning economist Edmund Phelps draws on a lifetime of thinking to make a sweeping new argument about what makes nations prosper--and why the sources of that prosperity are under threat today. Why did prosperity explode in some nations between the 1820s and 1960s, creating not just unprecedented material wealth but "flourishing"--meaningful work, self-expression, and personal growth for more people than ever before?

In March of 2025 I systematically challenged every U.S. Governor to a non-lethal duel using private civilian phone lines and a private civilian voicemail system. I then took the voice files and emailed them to all of my private civilian emails at midnight over the course of 50 days. I attempted to release these voice files on my website theduel.us but was unsuccessful. This is my second attempt at releasing the files. My hope is that the governors will realize the value of my presentation and we will not have to duel. Thank you.

Propelled by the belief that government has slipped out of the hands of ordinary citizens, a surging wave of populism is destabilizing democracies around the world. As John Matsusaka reveals in Let the People Rule, this belief is based in fact. Over the past century, while democratic governments have become more efficient, they have also become more disconnected from the people they purport to represent. The solution Matsusaka advances is familiar but surprisingly underused: direct democracy, in the form of referendums.

Grayling considers the three most pressing challenges facing the world: climate change, technology, and justice.
