Michael Ignatieff | Reuters | 12 July 2012 "Nothing is gained by pretending that Russia and China are not the chief strategic threat to the moral and political commitments of liberal democracies." If not enemies, they are opponents. Let's not get too cosy with them Comments The Limits Of Feeling Ruth Franklin | New Republic | 12 July 2012 On the writings and posthumous fame of WG Sebald, who died in 2001 leaving four published works. "Part memoir, part travelogue, part biography, and part dream, they seemed to exist in an uncategorizable space beyond genre" Comments Catch Me If You Can Dean King | Outside | 12 July 2012 Robert Wood was not like other eight-year-olds; he was autistic and non-verbal. When he ran off into a deep forest in Virginia, the largest manhunt in state history began. But for Robert would this seem like a game of hide and seek? Comments The New Global Economy’s (Relative) Winners Dani Rodrik | Project Syndicate | 11 July 2012 Forget America and Europe. Probably China too. New winners will be countries with manageable levels of public debt, large domestic markets, prosperous middle classes, and ideally democracies. Think India, South Korea, Brazil Comments Wrong Way Down The Danube James Kirchick | Foreign Affairs | 10 July 2012 Hungary dismantles democracy. Will the European Union intervene, or will it let its own values slide? "The fate of the country over the next several years will test the foundational principles of the entire European project" Comments The Chickens And The Bulls William McGowan | Slate | 11 July 2012 On the rise and incredible fall of a vicious extortion ring that preyed on prominent gay men in the 1960s. Impersonated vice cops to extort sometimes huge sums from politicians, professors, generals and TV and film stars Comments  FiveBooks Interview Tim Parks on Italian Fiction The author, who’s lived in Italy for 30 years, takes us off the beaten track through humour, satire and social history to recommend five richly rewarding works of Italian fiction  Featured Special Report Moral Philosophy Can we have morality without God? Does surveillance make us better? Do babies have morals? Get to grips with some big questions of right and wrong  Reader Recommendations @polit2k The Weaponization of Economic Theory | Michael Hudson t.co/FiiIuKhd  #gfc2 #browsings  h/t @npthinking  Book of the Day The West Indies and the Spanish Main by Anthony Trollope Paul Theroux says: “It is a vivid portrait of a lot of different places – Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad, Nicaragua – and he had a great ability to describe people”  Video of the Day On The Brink Conserving the Maasai Mara  Quote of the Day Russell Banks, on coincidence "The only people who say lightning never strikes twice have never been struck once" | Homepage | Mobile Apps | RSS Feeds | Twitter | Facebook | Privacy Policy | Contact Us | Having trouble reading this email?
