  • Roadblocked - Joe Biden's Rocky Transition to the Presidency - cover

    Roadblocked - Joe Biden's Rocky...

    Joe Biden and Kamala Harris began their transition to the White House in the most unusual of circumstances: a global pandemic, a sitting president violently refusing to accept the results of the election, and a historic racial reckoning all posed profound questions about how they would staff large parts of the government and articulate policy remedies to pressing problems in just eleven weeks. 
     
     
     
    Heath Brown's Roadblocked is a revelatory look at the seventy days between the election and the inauguration with a focus on the ways the Biden-Harris transition team sought help and advice to overcome these obstacles. More than that, Roadblocked is also a gripping history of US presidential transitions over the past half-century that compares the transition teams of the last four administrations. 
     
     
     
    Biden-Harris transition leaders had a massive team with a stated aim to promote coordination, encourage teamwork, and avoid siloing staff. In the end, however, these aims were foiled by the conditions of the pandemic and steep hierarchies, which both reduced collaboration and information sharing. In the end, despite substantial changes in the Democratic coalition, newly influential groups armed with novel tactics, and great shifts in their political agenda, the Biden-Harris transition did not lead to transformation. Roadblocked explains why.

    Canada Defies Annexation is a bold exploration of one of North America’s most enduring questions: why has Canada resisted every attempt by the United States to absorb it? 
    From the War of 1812 to modern trade wars, author Majdi Altaamneh traces over two centuries of political pressure, economic coercion, and cultural resilience. This audiobook blends history, politics, and personal perspective to show how Canada has preserved its independence and identity in the shadow of its powerful neighbor. 
    Whether through battles fought with muskets, negotiations at the trade table, or the quiet strength of cultural pride, Canada has continually defied annexation. Today, as new debates resurface, this story is more relevant than ever. 
    For Canadians, Americans, and anyone curious about how a nation can stand firm against a giant, this is a journey into history, resistance, and the promise of sovereignty.

    Gerontocracy in America - How...

    A leading social critic identifies our least-discussed major crisis, and sets out to solve it.As Americans debate President Biden’s infirmities and President Trump’s erratic behavior, we’ve neglected the bigger problem before us: a massive transfer of power and wealth to the oldest among us, and the curtailment of the prospects of the young. In Gerontocracy in America, the historian and social critic Samuel Moyn offers a piercing diagnosis of our age divide and its consequences. Even apart from the presidency, in legislatures, businesses, and the courts, the average leader’s age has risen dramatically. The elderly predominantly fund campaigns and dominate their agendas, often with the intent to block any challenge to their status. The tax code is rigged on their behalf, as is an economy geared to sheltering financial and housing assets. The United States was founded on the promise of generational renovation but has become an increasingly febrile country of old men.But it doesn’t need to be this way. With understanding and wit, Moyn shows how elder power can be dismantled. With strong safety nets in place, mandatory retirement ages can be established. The early transfer of assets between generations could be encouraged and young voters can be granted more voice. In such a world, the elderly themselves would be freed from power games to confront the existential opportunities of aging, while the young would find their path to starting out in life unblocked at last.
