Joe Biden has found his way back to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. After four decades of diminishing prospects for ordinary people, the public likes what Biden is offering. Yet American democracy is in dire peril as Republicans, increasingly the national minority, try to destroy democracy in order to cling to power. It is the best of times and the worst of times. In Going Big, bestselling author and political journalist Robert Kuttner assesses the promise and peril of this critical juncture. Biden, like FDR in his time, faces multiple challenges. Roosevelt had to make terrible compromises with racist legislators to win enactment of his program. Biden, to achieve the necessary governing coalition, needs to achieve durable multiracial coalitions. Roosevelt had to conquer fascism in Europe; Biden must defeat it at home. And after four decades of neoliberal policy disasters reflecting Wall Street's political influence, Biden needs to go beyond what even FDR achieved, to restore a democratic economy of broad possibility. From a writer with an unparalleled understanding of the history and politics that have made this moment possible, this book is the essential guide to what is at stake for Joe Biden, for America, and for our democracy.Voir livre

Mythological heroes have fascinated humanity for centuries, shaping cultures, inspiring generations, and defining what it means to be truly extraordinary. These figures, often depicted with godlike strength, unmatched courage, or cunning intelligence, represent the ideals and struggles of the societies that created them. From the mighty Hercules to the clever Odysseus, these legendary characters have left an indelible mark on history and continue to capture our imagination today. The power of mythical heroes lies not only in their incredible feats but in the deeper messages embedded in their stories. Many of these legends serve as moral guides, illustrating virtues like bravery, loyalty, and perseverance, while also warning against hubris and recklessness. Whether it’s King Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone or Sun Wukong defying the heavens, each tale contains timeless wisdom that resonates across cultures and eras. Beyond their moral lessons, these legendary heroes also hold immense cultural significance. They reflect the values, fears, and aspirations of the civilizations that created them. The warrior-kings of Europe, the trickster spirits of Africa, and the noble sages of Asia all serve as windows into the societies that revered them. Their stories, passed down through oral traditions, ancient texts, and epic poetry, provide insight into the beliefs and struggles of people long gone. As civilizations evolved, so did these myths, adapting to new cultural landscapes while maintaining their core themes.Voir livre

As settlers continued to encroach further west, the Shawnee, who were attempting to put together a confederacy of Native Americans to resist, stood firm and ready to fight them. Before America fought Britain in the War of 1812, they were engaged in Tecumseh’s War around the Great Lakes. The fighting made him famous and made a military hero (and eventually a president) out of William Henry Harrison, whose victory at Tippecanoe is considered the end of that war. Despite being one of their most tenacious opponents, Tecumseh almost immediately became a celebrated folk hero and respected leader in American history, all while continuing to be one of the most poignant symbols of resistance among Native Americans. He continues to be a household name across the United States today, nearly 200 years after his death. What makes Tecumseh’s legacy ironic is that the Shawnee were nominally led by a different man altogether, and that man just so happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Lalawethika’s early life mostly consisted of abject failures, and he became an alcoholic, but in one of his alcohol-soaked stupors, he began to have visions of the Master of Life that turned him into the Open Door, the prophet named Tenskwatawa. It was Tenskwatawa who brought a new vision to the Shawnee, transforming himself from an object of pity and contempt into a religious leader who had thousands of followers. When the Americans fought at Tippecanoe, the gathering of Native Americans who they were attempting to disperse had congregated at a place colloquially known as Prophetstown.Voir livre
