Top 5 articles: Collaborative pluralism
Plus, a little socialism debate
“The Future of American Politics” (New York Times)
Because David Brooks argues, the future is “collaborative pluralism.”
“Why Socialism Won’t Work” AND “Can Social Democrats Save the World (Again)?” (Foreign Policy Magazine)
Because we like the idea of framing these two articles as a debate in the latest issue of Foreign Policy Magazine on socialism: why it works, why it doesn’t work, and what might happen with socialism in the coming decade.
“The Supreme Court’s Collapsing Center on Religion” (New York Times)
Because we’ve included last week’s Supreme Court arguments on school vouchers in the newsletter, and now there are questions around what this case means for the separation of Church and State.
“The New Trophies of Domesticity” (The Atlantic)
Because Amanda Mull has the most interesting beat in journalism, and this time she explores how Millennials and Gen-Z are defining their ideas of wealth.
“The Last Time Democracy Almost Died” (New Yorker)
Because if you haven’t noticed, we like essays which reflect on history and what they might say about our current politics, and this time, we’re looking at the 1930s, when fascism and Nazism were rising.
