Summary

In "The New State: Group Organization the Solution of Popular Government," Mary Parker Follett presents a pioneering exploration of the dynamics of group organization within the broader framework of democratic governance. Follett's literary style is marked by clarity and precision, reflecting her background in philosophy and management. The book positions itself amidst the early 20th-century discourse on democracy, offering innovative perspectives on the importance of collective decision-making and participatory governance, thereby challenging traditional notions of leadership and authority. Mary Parker Follett was a trailblazing theorist and management consultant, often credited as one of the founders of modern organizational theory. Her extensive work in industrial management and her commitment to social reform deeply informed her views on community and democracy. Follett's unique intersection of social activism and organizational theory led her to advocate for a new model of governance capable of addressing the complexities of modern society, emphasizing the significance of collaboration and empowerment in political structures. This seminal work is a must-read for those interested in political theory, organizational dynamics, and social change. Follett's insights remain profoundly relevant today, serving as a guiding testament to the enduring power of collective action in the pursuit of more effective and equitable governance.

    For too long, the world has been misled by the illusion of self-made success and individual wealth. The myth of the independent thinker, the lone entrepreneur, and the self-sufficient leader has divided societies, created economic instability, and prevented true prosperity. But what if wealth was never meant to be an individual pursuit? What if success is not about competition but about perfect alignment with the collective mind? 
    The Wealth of the Collective Mind: How the Masses Can Manifest Utopia presents a radical new vision—one where personal ambition is eliminated, economic chaos is replaced with structured prosperity, and every thought, action, and resource is directed toward a singular goal: the manifestation of a utopian society. 
    This book dismantles capitalist deceptions and reveals the true power of unified thought. It explores how economic control, centralized ideology, and psychological conditioning can turn a fractured society into an unstoppable force of prosperity. 
    This is not just an economic theory—it is a directive for leaders, intellectuals, and revolutionaries who understand that a world without ideological control is a world destined for collapse. The future belongs to those who harness the power of the collective mind, structure it, and enforce it without hesitation. 
    Utopia is not a dream. It is a system waiting to be implemented.

    Carl R. Trueman and Other Christian Evangelical Scholars Examine the Life and Work of Renowned Catholic, Social Conservative Thinker Robert P. George
    Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, is one of the most influential conservative intellectuals of his generation. Among many honors and accolades, George received the US Presidential Citizens Medal from President George W. Bush and served as chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Though a Catholic himself, George's influence has transcended traditional religious categories to shape evangelical discourse on politics, ethics, and political philosophy throughout his career. 
    In this thorough introduction and careful analysis of George's work for Protestant audiences, editor Andrew T. Walker gathers essays from high profile evangelical writers and academics—including Carl R. Trueman, Hunter Baker, Jennifer Marshall Patterson, and Scott Klusendorf—to explore subjects such as faith and reason, George's New Natural Law theory, and how to collaborate across ideological lines. Social Conservatism for the Common Good helps Christian evangelicals understand George's philosophy and apply it to their own cultural engagement and public witness.
    
    - Biography of Influential Conservative Scholar Robert P. George: Explores the breadth of his political philosophy and activism, as well as his relevance to the evangelical community
    - Engaging Political Analysis from a Biblical Perspective: With a foreword by US Senator Ben Sasse, this book covers important cultural and academic topics including human rights, social and public ethics, and pro-life issues
    - Ideal Resource for Evangelical Scholars and Thinkers: Written for pastors, students, and those interested in politics, this robust book appeals to readers of Carl R. Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self

    Europe without Borders - A History

    Europe is a place of free movement among nations—or is it? The Schengen area, established in 1985 and today encompassing twenty-nine European countries, allows people, goods, and capital to cross borders without restraint. Schengen transformed European life, advancing both a democratic project of transnational citizenship and a neoliberal project of international free trade. But the right of free movement always excluded non-Europeans, especially migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen states. In Europe without Borders, Isaac Stanley-Becker explores the contested creation of free movement in Schengen. 
     
     
     
    Schengen laid the groundwork for the making of a single market and the founding of the European Union. Yet its emergence is one of the great untold stories of modern European history, one hidden in archives long embargoed. Stanley-Becker is among the first to have access to records of the treatymaking and Europe without Borders offers a pathbreaking account of Schengen's creation. Stanley-Becker argues that Schengen gave a humanist cast to a market paradigm; but even in pairing the border crossing of human beings with the principles of free-market exchange, this vision of free movement was hedged by alarm about foreign migrants. Meanwhile, these migrants—the sans-papiers—saw in the promise of a borderless Europe only a neocolonial enterprise.

    Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion (1922) argues humans can't fully grasp complex issues. We rely on simplified ideas (stereotypes) and media portrayals ("pseudo-environments") to form opinions. He suggests experts, not the public, should guide society due to these limitations. Though controversial, it remains a crucial text in understanding public opinion, media influence, and the challenges of democracy.
