Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Book excerpt: From 2011, when Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives, until the present, Congress enacted hardly any major legislation outside of the tax law President Trump signed in 2017. In the same period, the Supreme Court dismantled much of America's campaign finance law, severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, permitted states to opt-out of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, weakened laws protecting against age discimination and sexual and racial harassment, and held that every state must permit same-sex couples to marry. This powerful unelected body, now controlled by six very conservative Republicans, has and will become the locus of policymaking in the United States. Ian Millhiser, Vox's Supreme Court correspondent, tells the story of what those six justices are likely to do with their power. It is true that the right to abortion is in its final days, as is affirmative action. But Millhiser shows that it is in the most arcane decisions that the Court will fundamentally reshape America, transforming it into something far less democratic, by attacking voting rights, dismantling and vetoing the federal administrative state, ignoring the separation of church and state, and putting corporations above the law. The Agenda exposes a radically altered Supreme Court whose powers extend far beyond transforming any individual right--its agenda is to shape the very nature of America's government, redefining who gets to have legal rights, who is beyond the reach of the law, and who chooses the people who make our laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion and field guide to his previous book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today, technology is changing everything--how we relate to one another, the way we work, how our economies and goverments function, and even what it means to be human. One need not look hard to see how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnologies, and the internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the Fourth Industrial Revolution is just beginning, says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and such rapid change, he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine the trajectory our future will take. We all have a responsibility - as citizens, businesses, and institutions - to work with the current of progress, not against it, to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous. Drawing on contributions from 200 top experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology, to data ethics, Schwab equips readers with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the future to leave the world better, safer, and more resilient than we found it.

Book Synopsis Anatomy of the Global Agenda by : Michael W Howell
Download or read book Anatomy of the Global Agenda written by Michael W Howell and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatomy of the Global Agenda cuts to the heart of the political issues today using only facts and no conspiracy theories. Volume One breaks down the centralized power structure that the global elites have been constructing for centuries. In the first of a three-part series, we see how the stage was set up to overthrown sovereign nations and their people. Using secret societies such as the Skull and Bones Society and Bohemian Grove coupled with unregulated think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission the Global Agenda is in full force. Behind the wave of tyranny infiltrating the political processes today are a small group of international bankers and special interest corporations that are writing the laws and policies of the Republic. An oligarchy operating above all nation's laws, courts, and oversight leading the global population to a nefarious end game of their self greed and our destruction. From behind-closed-doors, strategies like Cloward-Piven's economic plan to collapse America from within begin to take shape. The bases for the Global Agenda is outlined in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto starting with the ten planks and ending with the abolishing of property rights. The proponents of the Global Agenda are the non elected officials that long ago bought our Congress, pharmaceutical industry, took control of the education system, and funding both sides of every major war. A nation that once manufactured weapons for war is now manufacturing wars for profit. Lead by a robust Military-Industrial Complex to force their policies globally and a police state here at home to corral the herd, the New World Order, one-world government's grasp tighten. Learn how through a centralized power they are able to deceive and manipulate trade policies, the world's resources, and keep us in never-ending undeclared wars. Longtime political writer Michael W. Howell takes you on a step-by-step course of mystery and intrigue as he shows you the inner workings and plans that the leaders have for the world. As a speaker, lecturer, writer, and policy analyst Michael's incredible ability to do systematic and thorough research, combined with his real-world experience, make him a popular guest on major radio and internet outlets.

Book Synopsis Who Makes the Rules? by : David C. Post
Download or read book Who Makes the Rules? written by David C. Post and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on descriptive quantitative data and a range of case studies including the Ottawa Treaty on Landmines, Kyoto Protocol and International Criminal Court, this dissertation tests a theoretical model aimed at explaining the post-Cold War emergence of global international institutions that do not reflect the United States' preferences. The results of the case studies suggest that a variety of factors including ineffective diplomacy, changes in the structure of the international system and the emergence of new methods of institutional formation have ultimately led to the creation of institutions that the United States opposes. These findings have important implications for international relations theory and practice.
Book Synopsis Social Work and Social Development by : James Midgley
Download or read book Social Work and Social Development written by James Midgley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-19 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social workers have been involved in social development for many years, but it is only recently that these ideas have been explicitly applied to social work practice. The result is that a new and distinctive approach to social work practice known as developmental social work has emerged. Developmental social work emphasizes the role of social investment in professional practice. These investments meet the material needs of social work's clients and facilitate their full integration into the social and economic life of the community. Developmental social workers believe that client strengths and capabilities need to be augmented with public resources and services if those served by the profession are to live productive and fulfilling lives. Although developmental social work is inspired by international innovations, particularly in the developing countries, it highly relevant to practice in the United States and other Western nations. In the first book to lay out a clear framework for developmental social work practice, chapters will focus on the traditional fields of social work practice, showing how social investment strategies can be adopted by social workers in their daily practice with populations including families and children, people with mental illness, homeless youth, people with disabilities, the elderly, and those in the correctional system. By facilitating clients' full social and economic participation through a variety of strategies, such as microenterprise or asset-building programs, practitioners can help bring about meaningful changes in clients' lives and throughout their communities. The editors and contributors offer a highly original exposition of developmental social work theory and practice, providing a definitive guide to an emerging and exciting new approach to practice.

Book Synopsis Shaping a Fairer world with SDGs and Human Rights by : Ayush Chopra
Download or read book Shaping a Fairer world with SDGs and Human Rights written by Ayush Chopra and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaping a Fairer World is the culmination of young Ayush Chopra's experiences, initiatives, and intense involvement in social transformation. The book underscores that the small role we play , every small change that we make, every small step that we take in making a difference can lead to a more equitable world that provides equal rights and opportunities for all citizens to live, work and prosper. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set forth by the United Nations, have provided the inspiration and impetus to the author for penning this book. Ayush’s journey was far from easy. He was average in his studies. Mocked several times by his peers for pursuing higher ideals, he wanted to give up but unwavering support from his parents, teachers and school principal sustained him all along the arduous path to do well in academics as well as contribute his bit to social causes. Ayush’s volunteering efforts received ultimate recognition when he was invited to represent India at the 14th Youth For Human Rights International Summit held at UN headquarters, New York in August 2017. The book graphically disseminates information about SDGs and Human Rights with engaging design and artwork. In witty, playful and colorfully tabulated content, the book narrates Ayush’s journey as well as the stories of those who have contributed towards new ideas and innovative narratives to effect real change.
