——あるとき、筆者は町内の子供会会長を引き受けることになり、LINEのグループで連絡を取り合うことになった。地域の育児コミュニティでLINEを実際活用してみて気づいたことやメリット、デメリットなどを語っていく——。うちの町内の子供会会長を引き受けることになった。実はその選任の日にちょうど子供とネットの講演がかち合ったため、やむなく選任会を欠席することになったのだが、抽選で妙な役が当たるよりも、いっそのこと会長やったほうが誰の言うことも聞かなくていいので楽なんじゃないか、と思ったのだ。（本文より） 小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik reminds us of the importance of the nation-state, arguing forcefully that when the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik’s case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today’s global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.

What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

In his widely acclaimed volume Our Undemocratic Constitution, Sanford Levinson boldly argued that our Constitution should not be treated with "sanctimonious reverence," but as a badly flawed document deserving revision. Now Levinson takes us deeper, asking what were the original assumptions underlying our institutions, and whether we accept those assumptions 225 years later.

In this wide-ranging book, Martha C. Nussbaum, one of our leading public intellectuals, argues that anger is conceptually confused and normatively pernicious. It assumes that the suffering of the wrongdoer restores the thing that was damaged, and it betrays an all-too-lively interest in relative status and humiliation. Studying anger in intimate relationships, casual daily interactions, the workplace, the criminal justice system, and movements for social transformation, Nussbaum shows that anger's core ideas are both infantile and harmful.

Now listen to an audio version of one of the most talked about government documents in history. These are the redacted findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, which was tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, including exploring any links or coordination between President Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government.

原発が抱える問題の本質は変わっていない──。

２０１１年３月から６年以上の時間が経過した。福島第１原発事故をめぐる処理費用の負担スキームが決定するなど、時間経過とともに新たな事実もある。
しかし、原発が抱える問題の本質は変わっていない。リスクの正確な把握や公表、そして公開の場での自由な議論がないままで原発の再稼働は危うい。
ましてや「世界最高水準の安全性」という新たな「安全神話」すら作られ始めている。そうしたことへの危機意識から本テーマを計画した。
そのため、本書では福島第１原発の廃炉・賠償問題だけではなく、核燃料サイクル、プルトニウム管理、高速増殖炉「もんじゅ」、原子力発電所等核施設の安全・テロ対策など幅広く取り上げた。原子力と核をめぐる諸問題を考える一助になる1冊。

What was a Buddhist monk doing at the 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos lecturing the world's leaders on mindfulness? Why do many successful corporations have a chief happiness officer? What can the chemical composition of your brain tell a potential employer about you? In the past decade, governments and corporations have become increasingly interested in measuring the way people feel: the Happiness index, Gross National Happiness, well-being and positive psychology have come to dominate the way we live our lives.

This essential biography, by the author most deeply familiar with the vast archives of the Soviet era, offers an unprecedented, fine-grained portrait of Stalin, the man and dictator. Without mythologizing Stalin as either benevolent or an evil genius, Khlevniuk resolves numerous controversies about specific events in the dictator's life while assembling many hundreds of previously unknown letters, memos, reports, and diaries into a comprehensive, compelling narrative of a life that altered the course of world history.

Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.

Must the sins of America's past poison its hope for the future? Lately the American Left, withdrawing into the ivied halls of academe to rue the nation's shame, has answered "yes" in both word and deed. In Achieving Our Country, one of America's foremost philosophers challenges this lost generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the great tradition of democratic intellectual labor that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey.

In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America's growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice - the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.

世界はインターネットによってますます“村”化していきます。こうした世界において、いよいよ重要になるのが、自律という問題です。 私たちは他人の気分に惑わされることなく、現実を見なければいけない。“村”社会のバイアスを取り払う必要があります。 行動経済学の第一人者・ダニエル・カーネマンが書いた『ファスト&スロー』という本が話題となっています。この本では、人の思考を〈システム1〉と〈システム2〉にわけて解説しています。 〈システム1〉は直感的な思考、〈システム2〉は論理的で合理的な思考です。 〈システム1〉はすばやく反応することができますが、認知バイアスに影響されます。一方、〈システム2〉は、時間がかかり怠けたがる性質をもっています。ちゃんと気力があり、集中力をもっているときには、〈システム1〉のもつバイアスを〈システム2〉がチェックしてくれますが、疲れていたり、注意をそらされているとチェックが働きません。その結果、バイアスによって認知が歪められてしまうのです。（本文より） 小山龍介　「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city’s two halves: the democratic west and the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan’s famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
