The Accordion Family: How Globalization Reshapes the Private World
“Failure to Launch,” “Delayed Departure,” even “Parasite Singles.” Media reports and varying degrees of alarm expressed to friends and relatives have cast a fairly negative light on what is becoming more and more common – college graduates and twenty (and even thirty) somethings moving back home to live with their parents. A trend that has long been familiar in Europe is proliferating in the US, especially today when jobs are harder and harder to come by and the price of housing hasn’t come down nearly enough to put it within reach for young adults.
Advantage: How American Innovation Can Overcome the Asian Challenge
It is widely acknowledged that the technological and economic rise of countries such as China and India represents a new challenge to U.S. economic leadership and interests. But for too long we’ve looked at the global economy through the wrong end of the telescope. When we focus on the details of science, technology, research and development, we miss the big picture, even as we give lip service to the idea that innovation is the engine of any country’s economic future.
A manifesto that argues for the importance of consumption in driving the economy, forming identity, creating meaning—and saving the world.
The Battle: How the Fight between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future
America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gays—rather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy.
A Being So Gentle: A Frontier Love Story of Rachel and Andrew Jackson
The story of the marriage of Rachel and Andrew Jackson has come down to us as one of the most romantic love stories in American history. But aside from treatment in a chapter of the many biographies of Andrew – Rachel’s story has been barely told. (at least not since Irving Stone’s The President’s Lady!)
Beyond Walden: The Hidden History of America's Kettle Lakes
A rich, exhaustive account of one of America’s threatened ecological jewels.
