The End of Progress?
Jan 21, 2025
Joseph E. Stiglitz
Though the United States has long led the world in advancing basic science and technology, it is hard to see how this can continue under President Donald Trump and the country’s ascendant oligarchy. America’s rejection of Enlightenment values will have dire consequences.

Yanis Varoufakis

Although AI has great potential to bring exciting changes to education, art, medicine, robotics, and other fields, it also poses major risks, most of which are not being addressed. Judging by the response so far from political and other institutions, we can safely expect many years of instability.

False Economies
Jan 17, 2025
William H. Janeway
Although economic inefficiency is no virtue, it should not automatically be interpreted as a sign of failure in the functioning of the economy or its individual components. In fact, the pursuit of efficiency often comes at the expense of other values that are no less important.

Trump the Revolutionary Isolationist
Jan 20, 2025
Shlomo Ben-Ami
America's president subscribes to a brand of isolationism that has waxed and waned throughout US history, but has its roots in the two-century-old Monroe Doctrine. This is bad news for nearly everyone, because it implies acceptance of a world order based on spheres of influence, as envisioned by China and Russia.
