New Orleans after the Civil War: Race, Politics, and a New Birth of Freedom

Thu, 05 Feb 2026
Examines the complex social and political landscape of New Orleans during the Reconstruction era, focusing on the experiences of individuals and how they navigated the tumultuous period following the Civil War.

The author emphasizes that personal stories, even of those without extensive personal papers, are crucial to understanding this pivotal time.

New Ideas on Development after the Financial Crisis

Tue, 03 Feb 2026
A collaborative effort between the Bernard Schwartz Forum on Constructive Capitalism and the Center for Global Development, examines the profound implications of the 2008–2009 financial crisis for global development strategies. It explores how the crisis challenged the dominant free-market capitalist model and the "Washington Consensus," prompting a reevaluation of state intervention and the emergence of alternative approaches like the European social model and authoritarian state capitalism. The authors discuss the shifting landscape of global economic governance, the need for organizational capability in policy implementation, and the role of labor mobility in fostering development, while also highlighting the particular experiences and policy adjustments made by regions such as China and Latin America in response to the economic upheaval. Ultimately, the volume reflects on whether the crisis will serve as a catalyst for a new era of global cooperation and a revised understanding of sustainable growth.

Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It―Unlock Your Persuasion Potential in Professional and Personal Life

Sun, 01 Feb 2026
This excerpt introduces Chris Voss, a former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator, and his approach to negotiation, which contrasts sharply with traditional, rational problem-solving methods. Voss emphasizes tactical empathy and understanding human irrationality, drawing on behavioral economics and psychological tactics like mirroring, labeling emotions, and using calibrated questions to gain information and influence outcomes. He advocates for embracing "No" as a starting point and employing strategies like the Ackerman model for price negotiation, all while maintaining a mindset of discovery and an awareness of Black Swans—unknown unknowns—to achieve successful resolutions in various personal and professional contexts.
