Summary

In 'Federalist Versus Anti-Federalist in America,' readers are invited to explore the riveting ideological clash that shaped the fledgling United States during its most formative years. The anthology masterfully juxtaposes an array of literary styles, from the polished rhetoric of the Federalist essays to the impassioned rejoinders of the Anti-Federalists. This curated collection captures the essence of a nation grappling with its identity and destiny, offering both depth and breadth of philosophical arguments central to American political thought. Notable essays prompt readers to ponder the enduring tensions between centralized governance and states' rights. The anthology is enriched by the contributions of renowned thinkers such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay, Patrick Henry, and Samuel Bryan, whose writings collectively echo the cacophony of the late 18th-century political discourse. This cross-section of ideological perspectives offered by political architects and skeptics alike draws connections to the broader Enlightenment era and American Revolution ideals. Their collective work underscores a feverish dedication to shaping a government that echoes the diverse aspirations of a newly independent populace, thereby highlighting the undercurrents of ideological struggle that led to the birth of the U.S. Constitution. This compilation is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundational debates that continue to echo in today's political climate. 'Federalist Versus Anti-Federalist in America' provides a singular opportunity to encounter a spectrum of arguments, reflecting the complexity of the nation's birth. Readers are encouraged to engage with these seminal texts not only for their historical significance but also for the dynamic dialogue they inspire, resonating through past and present American political narratives.

    A wide-ranging and incisive collection of interviews with Noam Chomsky, addressing the urgent questions of this tumultuous moment. 
 
 
 
In these informative interviews, conducted for Truthout by C. J. Polychroniou, Noam Chomsky addresses the rapid deterioration of democracy in the United States and rising tensions globally. He examines the crumbling social fabric and fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal; the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade; and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale. 
 
 
 
Throughout, Chomsky "remains . . . a beacon of hope in the darkest of times" (Sarah Jaffe).

    America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.

    Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
 
 
  
In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
 
 
  
In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?
