    Few children dream of growing up to rob banks and hold up trains, and Butch Cassidy was no exception. His transformation from an idealistic ranch hand to one of the most legendary outlaws of the American West was a slow, steady slide into a life of crime, shaped by choices that seemed small at the time but would alter the course of his entire existence. 
    Born Robert LeRoy Parker to devout Mormon parents in rural Utah, young Butch started out much like any other frontier boy, herding cattle, breaking horses, and working the unforgiving ranches of the rugged West. But it was there, among the dusty corrals and wide-open ranges, that he fell in with rough-and-tumble cattlemen who rustled livestock on the side. To an impressionable youth, these men weren't criminals; they were bold figures who refused to bow to corrupt cattle barons, who carved out their own justice in an unjust world. The line between right and wrong began to blur. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, Parker learned to make his own rules. He learned that the system wasn't fair, that honest work didn't always pay, and that sometimes a man had to take what he needed. 
    Before long, Robert LeRoy Parker had vanished, replaced by Butch Cassidy—the charismatic leader of the Wild Bunch. He became a man who robbed from the wealthy and powerful, yet remarkably never killed a soul. He lived entirely on his own terms, answering to no authority but his own conscience, however selective that conscience might have been.

    The 1960s was a tumultuous period in this country's history by any measure, with the Civil Rights Movement taking center stage. The social and political unrest that defined this era provided a turbulent backdrop for a burgeoning friendship between two families: one black - the Sims, and one white - the Davids. Their compelling story unfolds via heartfelt correspondence and acts of genuine kindness untainted by prejudice. The ensuing publicity would cast a much-needed spotlight on discrimination, but also call into question their motives and deeds. Despite this, the Sims and Davids forged a fellowship, through benevolence and strength of faith, that served as a beacon of hope for all who would strive for racial harmony.

    A vigorous call to restore imagination, judgment, and intellectual courage to American culture. 
     
    In this essay from Civilization in the United States, J. E. Spingarn challenges universities and critics to recover the purpose behind their learning. He questions scholarship reduced to collecting information and criticism governed by moral verdicts, fashionable theories, or personal taste alone. 
     
    For Spingarn, knowledge finds its greatest value in serving thought and imagination. Meaningful criticism requires cultivated taste, intellectual discipline, and the ability to enter sympathetically into another person’s creative vision. His argument reaches beyond literature to ask how a nation develops a rich inner life. 
     
    Narrated by Ryan Durham, this classic work of cultural criticism offers an invitation to reconsider how we teach, read, and judge. An engaging listen for educators, students of literature, and anyone drawn to aesthetics, American intellectual history, and the life of ideas.

  • The Origins of Elected Strongmen - How Personalist Parties Destroy Democracy from Within - cover

    The Origins of Elected Strongmen...

    Since the end of World War II, democracies typically fell apart by coup d'état or through force. Today, however, they are increasingly eroding at the hands of democratically elected incumbents, who seize control by slowly chipping away at democratic institutions. To better understand these developments, this book examines the role of personalist political parties, or parties that exist primarily to further their leader's career as opposed to promote a specific policy platform. Using original data capturing levels of personalism in the parties of democratically elected leaders from 1991 to 2020, The Origins of Elected Strongmen shows that the rise of personalist parties around the globe is facilitating the decline of democracy. 
     
     
     
    Personalist parties lack both the incentive and capacity to push back against a leader's efforts to expand executive power. As such, leaders backed by personalist parties are more likely to succeed in their efforts to dismantle institutional constraints on their rule. Such attacks on state institutions, in turn, reverberate throughout society, deepening political polarization and weakening supporters' commitment to democratic norms of behavior. In these ways, ruling party personalism erodes horizontal and vertical constraints on a leader, ultimately degrading democracy and raising the risk of democratic failure.
