  Critical Race Theory is a revolutionary and generally neo-Marxist form of activism, based on the idea that systemic racism was developed and perpetuated by white people to maintain a social framework that gives them a myriad of unfair advantages over people of color, particularly black people. 
  James Lindsay asserts that CRT may sound innocent, but its goals are much darker than one would imagine – its adherents want to take over Western societies and reorganize them, pushing them closer towards Communism. In Race Marxism (2022), Lindsay aims to explore the roots of CRT in order to uncover its true intentions, the threats it poses, and how we can fight it before it’s too late.

  Can running make me a more moral person? Can striving to be a better person make me a better runner? 
   
   
   
  In The Examined Run, philosopher and ultramarathon runner Sabrina B. Little asks whether running can be a laboratory for developing our character. She looks at the key ideas in virtue ethics—virtue, vice, exemplarism, moral emotions, and competition—and brings them into conversation with her experience in training and racing. Little pushes against the frequent conversations about ethics and sport that focus on the negative—doping and other forms of cheating or on simplistic expressions like "no pain, no gain." She argues that these ideas don't address the rich picture of how athletics inform a good life, and sport's relationship to acts of justice or courage. A good athlete is not just one who avoids cheating—rather, they perform feats of perseverance and courage, and succeed by working to develop their natural capacities. Little employs her own experiences in training, coaching, and racing in world class ultramarathons to reveal how athletics and virtue are deeply interconnected.

  The Neoliberal Revolution - How...

  Neoliberalism is a term widely used to describe a set of economic policies and ideas that emphasize the importance of free markets, deregulation, privatization, and limited government intervention. Emerging in the mid-20th century, neoliberalism represented a distinct shift away from the welfare state and Keynesian economics, which had dominated Western economies in the post-World War II era. At its core, neoliberalism advocates for the belief that markets, if left to operate freely, will create wealth, drive economic growth, and improve human well-being. This chapter introduces the key tenets of neoliberal thought and traces its rise to prominence. 
  The intellectual origins of neoliberalism can be traced back to economists and thinkers such as Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and Ludwig von Mises, who were critical of state intervention in the economy. They argued that government efforts to regulate markets, redistribute wealth, and promote social welfare were inefficient and counterproductive. Instead, they believed that economic freedom, unencumbered by regulation or state control, would lead to more prosperous societies. These ideas gained traction in the 1970s when the world was facing economic stagnation, inflation, and high unemployment, a period often referred to as the “stagflation” crisis. 
  As a response to these challenges, neoliberalism became the intellectual and policy framework that justified sweeping changes in global economic practices. It was championed by leaders such as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who implemented reforms based on neoliberal principles. These included reducing taxes, privatizing state-owned industries, cutting social welfare programs, and embracing global free trade. The goal was to increase individual freedom and market efficiency by minimizing the role of the state in economic affairs.

  Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

  A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
   
   
   
  A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
   
   
   
  In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
