Has ‘free trade’ and ''win-win' a future, in an era of zero-sums? How will the MAGAisation of U.S. politics reshape the world? In this 10th episode, we delve into the vision of Robert Zoellick, former President of the World Bank.

Full episode:
Stakeholders of a Fractured World: in Dialogue with Robert Zoellick
In a world of divisions and discontents, does the vision of nation-states like the U.S., China, and others as responsible stakeholders still hold promise? Who still hold stakes? Have the stakes changed? Who else should hold more stakes? How should stakes be distributed? In this episode of the World

My third/final review for 100 Notable Small Press Books! I found this book from @catapultbooks.bsky.social very original. It feels new/unique while talking about very prominent topics. The way social media was incorporated was so fun. Read the review and check out the other books!

Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

From a while ago but possibly one of my favorite pieces I ever had the privilege of accepting! I think about it a lot lol.
Everything's too much all the time, but I've got a new story out and I'm proud of it. Thanks to the crew at @redividermag.bsky.social for giving it a home: redivider.emerson.edu/revision/

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
