America Transformed The Rise and Legacy of American Progressivism

Providence and Power Ten Portraits in Jewish Statesmanship

Ever since Plato’s Republic, the study of statecraft has been a staple of Western discourse, and so has the study of particular leaders.

During most of that time, “business” remained the last redoubt for those who believed in free people, free markets, and private property. In the last two decades, however, that has changed, and the Left has taken its long march to the last remaining non-Leftist institution.
