This book was initially a workingman's response to the book "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates but also stands on its own as a personal and analytic contemplation of racism and classism. This third edition adds many more essays contemplating the nature and relationship of race and class, racism and classism. "An exceptionally well reasoned critique that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking, Between the World and Us: A Workingman's Response to 'Between the World and Me' is a rewarding and a challenging read that is very highly recommended." --- Midwest Book Review. This book ...

It's on the television, in the papers, and in our minds. Every day we're bludgeoned by news of how bad everything is - financial collapse, unemployment, growing poverty, environmental disasters, disease, hunger, war. But the rarely acknowledged reality is that our progress over the past few decades has been unprecedented. By almost any index you care to identify, things are markedly better now than they have ever been for almost everyone alive.

Do you feel like we’re in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state of the world right now. Mohamed, Michael and Gordon certainly did. These three friends – who between them have almost a century of expertise in international economics, business and global government – began talking over zoom at the start of the pandemic. They wanted to discuss the challenges the world was facing: unanticipated shocks, poor policy responses, struggling coordination. But the more they talked, the more they realised there was nothing pre-ordained about the gloomy path we’re on now.

The Arctic century is upon us. A great jockeying for power and influence has erupted among nations in the high north. At stake are trillions of dollars in profit or loss, US security, geopolitical influence and the fate of a fragile environment as well as the region's traditional people. As the ice melts and oil companies venture north, the polar regions may become the next Panama Canal, the next Arabian Peninsula-places on earth that remain relatively unknown in one century and become pivotal in the next.

Over the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in freefall. This is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence.

Large corporations, big governments, and other centralized organizations have long determined and dominated the way we work, access healthcare, get an education, feed ourselves, and generally go about our lives.

The common discourses about predicting the future chiefly revolve around the day, such as in predicting the weather (or, for more lucrative career opportunities, day-trading) or the week, as in the Sunday edition of many dailies (mostly in the editorials, sometimes in the astrology column!). Rarely we consider it for months or years, which are cases we consider while buying large value properties or consumer goods, or for relationships of great import. Predicting anything longer is rarer. However, many individual thinkers of the past and schools of thoughts tried to predict future in longer...
