The Federalist Papers

Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

“While American conservatives and classical liberals have long been preoccupied with defending the American political system against those who wanted to transform it, their defense rested on a deep misunderstanding. The tragedy occurred when “defenders of the Constitution” entered into alliances with groups that rejected the constitution's principles, leading to the anti-democratic takeover of the Republican Party. Gus diZerega’s book is an indispensable guide to the historical origins of political polarization in the United States.”

 , National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan
 &nbsp;This short, concise book offers a theoretically grounded reinterpretation of American political development, integrating political theory, political economy, and intellectual history. Drawing on James Madison and the Scottish Enlightenment, and informed by Austrian economic thought, it argues that the U.S. Constitution is best understood as a spontaneous order: an emergent framework coordinating diverse actors through procedural rules, overlapping majorities, and checks and balances rather than fixed policy outcomes.Set against this perspective, the book examines how European-derived frameworks – particularly classical liberal interpretations associated with Lord Acton – misread the American system and influenced modern conservatism. It distinguishes between constitutional conservatism rooted in rule of law and a Southern conservatism grounded in hierarchy, tracing their convergence through late twentieth-century political realignment. In extending Hayekian analysis to democratic institutions, the book contributes to debates in political economy, American political development, and complex adaptive systems.&nbsp;Gus diZerega
 is an independent scholar of political theory whose work focuses on democracy, spontaneous order, and complex adaptive systems. He received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and is the author of Persuasion, Power, and Polity, an early application of Hayekian theory to democratic systems. A founder and editorial board member of Cosmos + Taxis, his research spans political theory, environmental politics, institutional analysis, and metaphysics.

In this book, José Rente Nascimento explores the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dynamics of the Amazon. The book weaves five centuries of transformation, highlighting geographical conditions, Amerindian resource stewardship, the rubber boom, postcolonial policies, and today’s development pressures. Spanning infrastructure, mining, ranching, and agricultural expansion, the book analyzes Amazonian challenges within their historical context.
Drawing on lessons from both failed policies and successful initiatives, Nascimento addresses urgent contemporary issues, including deforestation, indigenous welfare, land tenure, forest-based development, and the complex balance between environmental protection and sustainable growth.
More than a historical account, this book presents a conceptual framework that links past trajectories to present challenges, providing an essential and inspiring resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and all those seeking to learn from Amazonia’s history to secure its sustainable future.

An Economic, Environmental, and Social History

The Amazonian Odyssey

Why a world-transforming invention remained an untold story—until now. How did builders shift from the erection of one structure at a time to the mass construction of hundreds of thousands? American Bridge explores a radical reimagining, a new way of building that introduced uniformity and modularity on a global scale while enabling the connectivity essential to the rise of the nation-state. With tales of bygone infrastructure and astonishing images, Gregory Dreicer spans a deep gap in history. He tracks the transnational creative flows that propelled the development of beam, truss, and skeleton frame as industrial essentials, shaped by classical, capitalist, techno-utopian beliefs that still animate engineering and architecture. Evolutionism and nationalism for two centuries have dictated how innovators, their chroniclers, and all of us view materials, structures, and each other. These perspectives determine what we celebrate and who we forget. Dreicer instead prioritizes bridges over borders and evidence over myth. As a result, American Bridge restores lumber’s role as seminal industrial product. It recognizes the contributions of enslaved Black people at a transformational technological moment. It portrays designers, workers, and managers devising methods of launching long bridges and assembling the tallest of towers. And it invites you to consider the ever-changing meanings of “America.”

Reinventing Building, Making History

American Bridge

A writing professor asks her students to share a childhood memory. They are stranded: all they can recall are family videos, photos resurfaced by an algorithm--moments already framed before they became memories at all.For the last one hundred years, technology has shaped not only how we communicate but how we experience time itself. But today the amassing of big data, the speed of problem solving, and the ubiquity of smartphones and AI threaten to upend our relationship to space and time. The past returns to us only in curated feeds and automatic reminders: an unceasing, untethered stream of content. Might we, in retaking control of our narrative threads, regain agency over our hours, our days, and the stories of our lives?Claire Messud's urgent manifesto argues that we must recapture our futures from the digital forces that consume us, and reclaim what makes us most human.

Reclaiming the Stories of Our Lives

Time, Now

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Two Paths to Prosperity

A beautifully illustrated and comprehensive graphic history of Ukraine’s centuries-long struggle against Russian domination, from the Middle Ages to today’s devastating war, by an award-winning journalist and Ukrainian cultural historian The conflict between Russia and Ukraine began long before the 2014 war that led to the Russia’s invasion in 2022. The Ukrainian people have been subjected to systematic persecution and mass atrocities by Russian and Soviet authorities across centuries—from the linguicide of the Ukrainian language and censorship of literature in the 1860s to the Holomodor famine of the 1930s, and more.&nbsp; &nbsp; In A Brief History of a Long War, distinguished Ukrainian scholar, activist, and journalist Mariam Naiem presents a panoramic overview of the major moments in this longstanding conflict. Alongside gripping accounts of the historical foundation of the modern Ukrainian state as we know it today, Naiem seamlessly incorporates current narratives about the harrowing realities of war and the lengths citizens must go to survive.&nbsp; Featuring gorgeous illustrations by Ukrainian artists Yulia Vus and Ivan Kypibida, A Brief History of a Long War is an ode to the moments of resistance and resilience from the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia’s oppressive, colonial history.

Ukraine's Fight Against Russian Domination

A Brief History of a Long War

'El día en que lo iban a matar, Santiago Nasar se levantó a las 5.30 de la mañana para esperar el buque en que llegaba el obispo.' Acaso sea Crónica de una muerte anunciada la obra más 'realista' de Gabriel García Márquez, pues se basa en un hecho histórico acontecido en la tierra natal del escritor. Cuando empieza la novela, ya se sabe que los hermanos Vicario van a matar a Santiago Nasar -de hecho, ya le han matado- para vengar el honor ultrajado de su hermana µngela, pero el relato termina precisamente en el momento en que Santiago Nasar muere. El tiempo cíclico, tan utilizado por García Márquez en sus obras, reaparece aquí minuciosamente descompuesto en cada uno de sus momentos, reconstruido prolija y exactamente por el narrador, que va dando cuenta de lo que sucedió mucho tiempo atrás, que avanza y retrocede en su relato y hasta llega mucho tiempo después para contar el destino de los supervivientes. La acción es, a un tiempo, colectiva y personal, clara y ambigua, y atrapa al lector desde un principio, aunque este conozca el desenlace de la trama. La dialéctica entre mito y realidad se ve potenciada aquí, una vez más, por una prosa tan cargada de fascinación que la eleva hasta las fronteras de la leyenda. Julio Cortázar dijo... 'Un genio.'

The Value of the World Around Us

On Natural Capital

What if the secret to conquering modern business challenges was already solved... over two thousand years ago? Whether you are scaling a startup, navigating office politics, or leading a company through rapid transformation, modern business can feel like an endless battle. But history's greatest leaders - from Alexander the Great and Scipio Africanus, to Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Augustus and more - were wrestling with these exact same strategic dilemmas. In Strategize Like Caesar, business executive and compliance expert Nick Henderson-Mayo seamlessly bridges classical antiquity with modern industry. Structured across four key groupings of organisation and strategy - The Disruptors, The Rivals, The Rulers, and The Survivors - this book pairs epic classical history with sharp corporate case studies and actionable frameworks. Step out of the boardroom, and onto the battlefield, discovering how to:<ul><li>Identify your Centers of Gravity: Apply Alexander the Great's tactics to pinpoint critical pressure points in your competition.</li><li>Avoid 'Hannibal's Paradox': Stop confusing short-term tactical wins with long-term strategic success.</li><li>Master office politics: Leverage transactional alliances and 'Strategic Distance' to build leverage and protect your team.</li><li>Pace transformational change: Use Augustus's principle of festina lente (make haste slowly) to execute seamless organizational pivots.</li></ul>Drawing from a decade spent advising Fortune 500 risk and legal teams, Henderson-Mayo delivers an indispensable, battle-tested playbook for modern decision-makers. Because the leaders who thrive in the future are those who learn from the past.

Timeless Lessons in Business & Strategy

Strategize Like Caesar

El periplo desnudo y descarnado de un marinero a la deriva. Y el relato que le costó el exilio a Gabriel García Márquez. 'Mi libro preferido, y el primero que escribí.' Gabriel García Márquez Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre, Luis Alejandro Velasco, que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro Nobel de Literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista y los transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El Espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable -se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco- y el exilio para su autor. 'El 22 de febrero nos anunció que regresaríamos a Colombia. Teníamos ocho meses de estar en Mobile, Alabama, Estados Unidos, donde el A.R.C. Caldas fue sometido a reparaciones electrónicas y de sus armamentos. En los días de franquicia hacíamos lo que hacen todos los marineros en tierra: íbamos al cine con la novia y nos reuníamos después en Joe Palooka, una taberna del puerto, donde tomábamos whisky y armábamos una bronca de vez en cuando.' La crítica dijo... 'Su narración más perfecta.' El País
