  An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion 
   
   
   
  Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

  Like the resilient Harendong plant that thrives on ancestral lands, drawing sustenance from Gusti nu Luhur yet flourishing under careful human tending, this theory underscores that ultimate well-being is found in a delicate, active balance between divine provision and responsible human action. The “Harendong Theory” appears in Andi Sulistiadi’s research, specifically in his 2023 study titled “Holistic Management of the Leadership of Pu’un Badui Tribe” (document ID: 7040 in the RGSA repository). The paper introduces the concept using the Harendong plant as a visual metaphor reflection 
  May the lessons of Harendong Theory inspire leaders, communities, and individuals across the globe to cultivate their own unique ecosystems of peace, joy, and sustainability. May we learn to honor our interconnectedness, foster unwavering commitment to our deepest values, and bravely navigate the mists of uncertainty with the same steadfast spirit found in the ancient woods of the Baduy. For in embracing the Harendong Way, we begin to chart a course towards a future not just of survival, but of profound, enduring flourishing, perpetually seeking to “bersemayam bersama Gusti nu Luhur.”

  At 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time on election night 1988, NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw informed the country that they would soon know more about the outcome of "one of the longest, bloodiest presidential campaigns that anyone can remember." It was a landslide victory for George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, and yet Bush would serve only one term. The 1988 presidential race quickly receded into history, but it was marked by the beginning of the modern political sex scandals, the first major African American presidential candidacy, the growing power of the religious right, and other key trends that came to define the elections that followed. Bush's campaign tactics clearly illustrated the strategies and issues that allowed Republicans to control the White House for most of the 1970s and 1980s, and the election set the stage for the national political advent of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. 
   
   
   
  Robert L. Fleegler's narrative history of the 1988 election draws from untapped archival sources and revealing oral history interviews to uncover just how consequential this moment was for American politics. Identifying the seeds of political issues to come, Fleegler delivers an engaging review of an election that set a template for the political dynamics that define our lives to this day.
