A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.

Propaganda Primer by 20-plus year PSYOPer In the twenty-first century, Russia and China have positioned themselves as competitors to the current US-led Western geopolitical order. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine, they have closely aligned themselves against that order. These nations represent the United States' top national priorities and have necessitated a shift from the counter-terror operations of the last twenty years to near-peer competition in a multi-polar world. As such, propaganda from these nations will be an increasingly important factor in this competition. This book for people interested in Russian and Chinese propaganda as a phenomenon, as well as practitioners new to the field of influence."In his new book, Professor Mervyn Roberts has revealed that the foundation for recent geopolitical strife between the West and the East is best seen through the lens of psychological operations. Thus, to properly understand how the East galvanizes its peoples behind the banner of anti-Western rhetoric, one must begin with how those states effectively use propaganda on their own populations. By deciphering the basis for controlling the psychology of populations, Roberts brilliantly hints at ways in which Western ideals can be protected." - Dr. Scott Craig, author of Bonds of Empire: The Politics of Penal Colonies in the Founding of America and Australia Mervyn Roberts teaches history at Central Texas College in Killeen, Texas. He also taught Russian and Chinese propaganda evolution at the Joint Special Operations University in Tampa, Fl. Merv Roberts possesses a BA in Asian History from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and MA and PhD degrees from the University of North Texas in Denton. He has written and given academic presentations on PSYOP and published numerous books and journal articles on the topic, including his well-reviewed history of propaganda in the Vietnam War, The Psychological War for Vietnam: 1960-1968. Merv has also spoken and written on Iran and the Persian world including publishing "Analysis of Radio Propaganda in the 1953 Iran Coup" and "Operation Countenance: The 1941 Invasion of Iran and the Clash of Propaganda Narratives" in Iranian Studies. He served in Operations Desert Storm and Continue Hope-Somalia, and two tours with the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan.

Paints an exciting portrait of America as revealed through the minds and experiences of men and women in all walks of life who, from the time of the founding fathers right up to the present, have implemented the growth and created the character of the United States. Sixty-four colorful Americans here tell their own stories in their own words, each story knit into an organic whole, with all the astonishing contrasts as well as the corollaries of America's varied life. From each of these great human revelations has been chosen the essence and flavour of the full work, that one superb passage in which the book caught on fire, flashed sharply into focus, in which the inherent struggle reaches its climax and consequently the writing and thinking reach their greatest height, and the compulsions that motivated the life are most lucidly and movingly stated.

What happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment? As our world begins to look more and more like Orwell's 1984, Neil's Postman's essential guide to the modern media is more relevant than ever. "It's unlikely that Trump has ever read Amusing Ourselves to Death, but his ascent would not have surprised Postman.” -CNN Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman’s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media—from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs—it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals. “A brilliant, powerful, and important book. This is an indictment that Postman has laid down and, so far as I can see, an irrefutable one.” –Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of On Tyranny comes a stunning new chronicle of the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America. “A brilliant analysis of our time.”—Karl Ove Knausgaard, The New Yorker With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy seemed final. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Vladimir Putin found fascist ideas that could be used to justify rule by the wealthy. In the 2010s, it has spread from east to west, aided by Russian warfare in Ukraine and cyberwar in Europe and the United States. Russia found allies among nationalists, oligarchs, and radicals everywhere, and its drive to dissolve Western institutions, states, and values found resonance within the West itself. The rise of populism, the British vote against the EU, and the election of Donald Trump were all Russian goals, but their achievement reveals the vulnerability of Western societies. In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, based on vast research as well as personal reporting, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. To understand the challenge is to see, and perhaps renew, the fundamental political virtues offered by tradition and demanded by the future. By revealing the stark choices before us--between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood--Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty.

Who is this Vladimir Putin? Who is this man who suddenly--overnight and without warning--was handed the reigns of power to one of the most complex, formidable, and volatile countries in the world? How can we trust him if we don't know him? First Person is an intimate, candid portrait of the man who holds the future of Russia in his grip. An extraordinary compilation of over 24 hours of in-depth interviews and remarkable photographs, it delves deep into Putin's KGB past and explores his meteoric rise to power. No Russian leader has ever subjected himself to this kind of public examination of his life and views. Both as a spy and as a virtual political unknown until selected by Boris Yeltsin to be Prime Minister, Putin has been regarded as man of mystery. Now, the curtain lifts to reveal a remarkable life of struggles and successes. Putin's life story is of major importance to the world.

Fiona Hill and other U.S. public servants have been recognized as Guardians of the Year in TIME's 2019 Person of the Year issue. From the KGB to the Kremlin: a multidimensional portrait of the man at war with the West. Where do Vladimir Putin's ideas come from? How does he look at the outside world? What does he want, and how far is he willing to go? The great lesson of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 was the danger of misreading the statements, actions, and intentions of the adversary. Today, Vladimir Putin has become the greatest challenge to European security and the global world order in decades. Russia's 8,000 nuclear weapons underscore the huge risks of not understanding who Putin is. Featuring five new chapters, this new edition dispels potentially dangerous misconceptions about Putin and offers a clear-eyed look at his objectives. It presents Putin as a reflection of deeply ingrained Russian ways of thinking as well as his unique personal background and experience. Praise for the first edition: “If you want to begin to understand Russia today, read this book.”—Sir John Scarlett, former chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) “For anyone wishing to understand Russia's evolution since the breakup of the Soviet Union and its trajectory since then, the book you hold in your hand is an essential guide.”—John McLaughlin, former deputy director of U.S. Central Intelligence “Of the many biographies of Vladimir Putin that have appeared in recent years, this one is the most useful.”—Foreign Affairs “This is not just another Putin biography. It is a psychological portrait.”—The Financial Times Q: Do you have time to read books? If so, which ones would you recommend? “My goodness, let's see. There's Mr. Putin, by Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy. Insightful.”—Vice President Joseph Biden in Joe Biden: The Rolling Stone Interview.
