O conceito de Cidades Inteligentes (ou Smart Cities) está ganhando espaço e se tornando cada vez mais relevante para agentes públicos, empresas privadas e cidadãos por um motivo muito simples: cidades mais inteligentes são capazes de se adaptar aos movimentos da sociedade e resolver os grandes problemas urbanos.

Меньше чем через десять лет наша планета изменится до неузнаваемости. Пенсионеры, накопившие солидный капитал, и средний класс из Индии и Китая будут определять развитие мирового потребительского рынка, в Африке произойдет промышленная революция, в списках богатейших людей женщины обойдут мужчин, на заводах роботов будет больше, чем рабочих, а главными проблемами человечества станут изменение климата и доступ к чистой воде.

A must-listen book for every leader—and every American—who insists that their government deliver better results Broken. Ineffective. Dysfunctional. Those are the words Americans often use to describe the government they pay for and depend upon to meet some of their most basic needs. But what if governments routinely delivered better results? What if government leaders invested in more effective solutions that improved lives and saved taxpayer dollars? Do What Works shares stories of progress and impact from communities across the country where that's happening right now.

“[Gouged] might be the book of the year.” —Matt Novak, Gizmodo “A thrilling true crime story about how the largest corporate monopolies in America have hatched a scheme to pick our pockets. Gouged is the book corporate America does not want you to read.”—Robert B. Reich, former U.S...

Siguiendo los pasos de Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault y Paul K. Feyerabend, Espíritus del presente crea un amplio panorama de las ideas de la posguerra en Occidente. Wolfram Eilenberger ofrece un relato cautivador de los albores de una nueva ilustración que conduce directamente a las fallas de nuestro tiempo.

La población urbana se duplicará en cuarenta años, algo que obliga a la transformación holística y sostenible del modelo de ciudad. Para Martha Thorne, decana de IE School of Architecture and Design y directora ejecutiva del Pritzker Architecture Prize, el gran reto de la arquitectura está en su capacidad para hacer metrópolis, que serán más densas y poseerán una alta calidad urbana y una mayor calidad de vida para los residentes.

La lucha por las pensiones justas de un colectivo a menudo olvidado. Nadie esperaba mucho de ellos. Todos —políticos y sociólogos, analistas y politólogos— daban a los mayores españoles por amortizados y semienterrados. Habían sacado la cabeza entre las mareas de indignación que nos...

Ever since we produced our course Thinking About Capitalism, customers have expressed interest in a follow-up course that could help them understand socialism in the same way. After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.

Some roads carry traffic. Others carry a nation. Across America, a small number of highways and transportation corridors do far more than connect communities. They move energy, support military readiness, provide access to critical minerals, sustain remote economies, carry telecommunications infrastructure, and connect the nation to places of strategic importance. Yet the way America funds its highways does not always recognize that difference. Roads That Matter examines the growing gap between how the United States builds nationally important infrastructure and how it maintains it.

I wrote this short guide because staring at a massive list of military terms almost made me lose my mind completely. I wanted to share the weird little everyday tricks I used to actually remember the vocabulary without falling asleep at my kitchen table. You can absolutely pass your exam if you just change how you look at the words.

In 2024, a foreign-policy lobby spent $100 million shaping U.S. congressional elections. In 2026, that influence moved through shell PACs with neutral names, designed to obscure donors until after voters had already cast their ballots. FOREIGN BODY, Book Three of the OCCUPIED investigative series, examines the documented mechanisms behind that influence—from AIPAC's origins and foreign-agent questions to dark-money networks, congressional voting, FEC filings, and U.S. policy toward the International Criminal Court.

The Confederacy lost the war and won the memory. Its armies were destroyed, its claim to nationhood erased, and the idea those armies carried into the field outlived them all. In The Synthetic Cause, David Boles traces how a beaten cause captured the story of its own defeat. It wrote the textbooks, raised the monuments, sainted the losers, and walked back into American institutions through the front door. The old machinery worked in bronze and marble and said out loud what it wanted. The machinery running now has learned to hide.
