Almost 250 years ago, our Founders thought We the People were the solution. Today, it looks like we have become the problem. What happened, and what can We the People do about it?
Every day, the news delivers the same story: as a nation, we are so divided, we spend more time picking fights than solving our most urgent problems. It's exhausting and exasperating.
In Remaking the Space Between Us, Smith invites us to see what lies behind this story:...

After decades of steady progress in terms of gender and sexual rights, several parts of Europe are facing new waves of resistance to a so-called 'gender ideology' or 'gender theory'. Opposition to progressive gender equality is manifested in challenges to marriage equality, abortion, reproductive technologies, gender mainstreaming, sex education, sexual liberalism, transgender rights, antidiscrimination policies and even to the notion of gender itself.

Americans are increasingly dismayed with a broken political system and the big institutions they blame for a Darwinian economy (in which it's getting harder to get ahead). What they've lost sight of is the importance of self-reliance and personal initiative in every individual's quest for prosperity. Liberty For All pushes past the usual go-nowhere policy prescriptions to probe what ordinary people can do to build their own self-reliance and enhance...

A provocative, inspiring account of our neglected American ideals and the people who are living them today- and restoring our nation's dream.
Patriotism has become a loaded word: one that is wielded against people with whom we might disagree, or whose cultural origins don't match our own. But, our founding fathers-Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and others-saw patriotism as a dynamic force: an act of service, in an evolving nation that defined its...

Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects-say, modernizing infrastructure-get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic.
Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault...

JC Watts, politician, clergyman, businessman, and athlete Social justice matters because we-each of us-matter. Unless we learn to co-exist as equals, we will never live...
