Summary

"Andrés López Obrador's Mexico" offers a comprehensive analysis of one of Latin America's most consequential presidencies, examining how AMLO's leadership has fundamentally reshaped Mexico's political and economic landscape. The book meticulously traces his implementation of the "Fourth Transformation" agenda, which marks a decisive shift from market-oriented policies toward state-centered development and nationalism.

 
Through detailed analysis of governmental documents, policy changes, and interviews with key figures, the work illuminates how this political outsider has transformed Mexico's institutional framework while generating significant societal polarization. The narrative skillfully weaves together AMLO's major policy initiatives, from the controversial cancellation of the New Mexico City Airport to sweeping energy sector reforms and the expansion of social welfare programs.

 
Particularly noteworthy is the book's examination of how these changes have affected Mexico's relationship with foreign investors and its position within North American trade networks. The analysis pays special attention to AMLO's unique approach to combating corruption and his increased reliance on military involvement in civilian affairs, providing context for understanding these shifts within Mexico's complex political history.

 
Drawing from an impressive array of sources, including previously unreleased government documents and extensive field interviews, the book presents a balanced assessment of AMLO's presidency and its implications for Mexico's future. The work proves especially valuable for policymakers, business leaders, and scholars by offering practical frameworks for understanding Mexico's evolving business environment and political risk factors, while maintaining an objective stance on controversial aspects of AMLO's governance, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sustainability of his economic policies.

    Part of the acclaimed Eminent Lives series, Machiavelli is a superb portrait of the brilliant and revolutionary political philosopher—history’s most famous theorist of “warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed”—and the age he embodied. Ross King, the New York Times bestselling author of Brunelleschi’s Dome, argues that the author of The Prince was a far more complex and sympathetic character than is often portrayed.

    Gordon Menzies was in the room as bankers, economists and Cabinet members deregulated Australia’s economy. And he was personally shaped by a greater, cultural, deregulation — the sexual revolution. Menzies argues that both changes are part of the same hard-line movement: Western Fundamentalism. As our economies and families are in flux, it’s time to question the assumptions that got us here.

    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.

    The first of two debates between President Ronald Reagan and former Vice President Walter F. Mondale was held in Louisville, Kentucky on October 7, 1984. Barbara Walters was the debate moderator. James Weigart, Diane Sawyer, and Fred Barnes were the three panelists who asked questions. 
This first debate was on the economy and domestic issues. Questions focused on the following topics: the nation’s economy, leadership qualities, religion, political issues, abortion, federal taxation, social welfare programs, the presidential campaign, and closing statements. Reagan won a landslide victory in 1984 winning every state except Minnesota and the District of Columbia. 
Note: 43 seconds of the audio (part of Barbara Walter’s introduction) was garbled. The section from 57 seconds to 1 minute 40 seconds was omitted. This omitted section can be seen and heard in the text and video versions at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Search online for “Ronald Reagan major speeches” to see both a text version and a video version of this debate.

    The End of America? - A Guide to...

    America was the shining city on a hill. It was the country at the forefront of the world democratic order, the global policeman, the might of its military matched only by the depth of its financial reserves. America was the one the world listened to, whether it wanted to or not. So, what happened?
Well, a lot of things. In this searing account, Alan Friedman shows how, from the disastrous Vietnam War to Barack Obama's bungled response to the Arab Spring, American intervention has ceased to be the decisive action it once was. And now, with the rise of China and Russia, coupled with America's prostration of itself following the election of Donald Trump, the decline of its authority is only hastening.
We move now, Friedman argues, into the New World Disorder. In this dangerous and unstable world, the Washington-enforced liberal order is receding, and a new set of alliances and anxieties are in ascendence. What is America's place in this? Which powers are going to emerge as the leaders? Will the European Union count at all? One thing is for sure: the effects of the New World Disorder will challenge our Western values to breaking point.
