How should we understand China's unique variety of party-state capitalism? In this episode of The World Unpacked, Isaac Kardon sits down with Dr. Meg Rithmire, a renowned scholar of political economy in China and the James E. Robison Professor at Harvard Business School, to discuss how capitalism functions in a party-state that tries to maintain “rule by market” without ceding too much control to private capital. Their discussion is based on Dr. Rithmire's chapter in a new volume released from Carnegie called The Life of the Party: Past and Present Constraints on the Future of the Chinese Communist Party. They explore how private capitalists have been important to China's economy since the 1950s, and how China attempts to exert control over companies to ensure that their activities serve party-state objectives, like Made in China 2025.Notes:1.

Over the past few days, President Trump has been reinforcing his support for the Israeli offensive and his position that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Most assessments suggest that the IAF does not have the capability to completely destroy Iran's nuclear program. If that's the case, what's the end-game? Should Iran's nuclear program be destroyed by the US, delayed by Israel, or disassembled by Iran through a deal?On today's episode, we dive into these critical questions with senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot and Call me Back regular, Nadav Eyal, and Iran foreign policy expert and senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Karim Sadjapour.Karim is a first-time guest. In addition to working at Carnegie, he is a contributing writer to the Atlantic. He was previously an analyst with the International Crisis Group, based in Tehran and Washington. He has lived in Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East (including both Iran and the Arab world) and speaks Persian. Karim is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, teaching a class on U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East.Nadav and Karim discuss what the mood is inside Iran, what military options are on the table, and possible outcomes of the war.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Episode: 1391 The Johnstown Flood. They didn't see it coming.  Today, a dam breaks.

What if the difference between success and stagnation lies in how quickly you decide? Do you struggle with making decisions—overthinking, hesitating, or letting fear take the lead? What if your ability to decide quickly could change your life?In this episode of The Courage To Be™, host Tania Vasallo—certified coach with the Napoleon Hill Institute—dives into the Think and Grow Rich principle of decision-making. She shares the compelling story of how Napoleon Hill made a life-altering choice in just 29 seconds when Andrew Carnegie offered him the opportunity of a lifetime—with no pay. Carnegie even timed him with a stopwatch, believing that fast decision-making was a hallmark of all successful people.Tania breaks down the fact that we make around 30,000 decisions a day (most without thinking), how to recognize when fear is driving your choices, and how to tune into your intuition.

In this conversation, Aadil Brar and Saheb Singh Chadha examine how China's strategic behavior across the India-China border, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea reflects a broader effort to create regional influence and redefine border security under Xi Jinping. Aadil explains how Beijing frames these actions as issues of national sovereignty, using military presence and political rhetoric to entrench its claims.They explore the “chain reaction” thesis, which suggests that China prepares for simultaneous tensions on multiple fronts in anticipation of external responses—especially in the event of a Taiwan contingency. This perspective, Aadil argues, helps explain China's sustained activity along the LAC.The discussion also delves into China's efforts to normalize military exercises around Taiwan, making it harder to distinguish military exercises from wartime operations. While these tactics project strength, they may also be prompting diplomatic recalibration as China confronts the strategic consequences of its assertiveness.Episode ContributorsAadil Brar is a TV reporter for TaiwanPlus News based in Taipei. Prior to this, he was the China News Reporter for Newsweek and wrote columns for The Print India. His experience includes working with the BBC World Service and National Geographic, covering topics such as international affairs, geopolitics, environmental conservation, and border conflicts.

The Gilded Age was a time of unparalleled wealth and prosperity in America — but it was also a time of staggering inequality, corruption, and unchecked power. Among its richest figures was Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate who built his fortune on the backs of low-paid workers, only to give it away — earning him the nickname the Godfather of American Philanthropy. He didn't just fund libraries and universities — he championed a philosophy: that it was the duty of the ultra-wealthy to serve the public good.But, as it turns out, even philanthropy is a form of power. So, what exactly have wealthy philanthropists done with their power? We explore that question at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, inside Carnegie's former mansion. There, a board game called Philanthropy invites players to reimagine the connection between money and power — not by amassing wealth, but by giving it away.Guests: Christina de León, Associate Curator of Latino Design at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum Tommy Mishima, artist and co-creator (with Liam Lee) of the installation “Game Room” in Cooper Hewitt's triennial Making Home David Nasaw, author of the biography Andrew Carnegie

New Zealand's gas supply is reducing faster and sooner than previously forecast, new reports from experts warn. As of January 1, 2025, natural gas reserves have reduced 27 percent compared to last year, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) said. Energy Resources Aotearoa CEO John Carnegie says there's reason to be concerned. "Put simply, with the rapidly reducing gas supply, our gas reserves are at historic low levels. New Zealand is facing higher energy prices, increased reliance on imported coal, uncertainty for industrial users." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saheb and Suyash begin by laying out where the PLA stands today in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, and the factors driving its evolution. While the PLA has made major strides in modernizing across land, air, sea, space, and cyber, it still struggles with issues like deep-rooted corruption, a lack of well-trained personnel, and delays in meeting its own ambitious goals.The discussion dives into how the PLA is preparing for a potential Taiwan contingency through new mobilization efforts, localized recruitment (especially in border regions like Tibet), and more frequent joint military exercises. Suyash argues that despite these efforts, the PLA still isn't ready for a full-scale operation anytime soon. They also examine China's changing nuclear posture, including its gradual shift toward a “launch on warning” approach. Even though both India and China adhere to no-first-use policies, new developments in missile systems and strategic signaling are quietly reshaping the region's security dynamics.Finally, the episode looks at what all this means for India. With growing military capabilities on both sides, we may be entering a period of “armed coexistence”—a tense, yet controlled standoff that defines the new normal along the India–China border.Episode ContributorsSuyash Desai is a nonresident fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) and a political scientist specializing in China's defense, foreign policies, and nuclear strategy.

In this conversation, Saheb and Amit examine the three major structural dilemmas facing China's economy: a persistently low domestic consumption rate of around 40 percent of GDP, making China an outlier among large economies; the Chinese state's reluctance to adopt fiscal stimulus due to its ideological opposition to welfarism; and a sharp slowdown in real estate investment that has had ripple effects across the broader economy. They also discuss how China's enduring trade surpluses, particularly with the U.S., EU, and India are generating international pushback. Despite high trade volumes, Amit highlights the limited nature of Chinese investment in India, noting that economic outreach from China is driven less by genuine market interest and more by geopolitical calculations. The episode further explores why China's engagement with regions like Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia cannot substitute for the demand found in Western markets. The episode also looks at how India's large and growing consumer market could make it a prime destination for companies relocating under the China Plus One strategy, even if Chinese firms themselves remain reluctant to invest directly. Finally, the discussion draws a clear line between China's diplomatic messaging and its actual economic practices, revealing a gap that continues to shape global perceptions.Episode ContributorsAmit Kumar is a Staff Research Analyst at the China desk of the Indo-Pacific Studies Programme.

For more than 50 years, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has been categorizing institutions in a functional but basic way–by the highest degree the institution awards and the amount of research generated by the institution. Even as American higher education changed significantly from the early 1970s, the classifications remained the same. Until recently! In this episode we talk about the classifications, how they were used and why, and what led to the revised classifications that were just released.  Key Takeaways:The Carnegie Foundation partnered with the American Council on Education (ACE) to conduct the first major overhaul of the Carnegie Classifications for Higher Education in almost 50 years.Over the three-year process, the team engaged thousands of stakeholders across the higher education sector and other relevant experts about how best to provide more information about an institution through the classifications.  For the first time, the Carnegie Classifications bring in information about the student (not just the degree) through the new Student Access and Earnings category. The American Council on Education prefers a three-syllable callout (“EY SEA EE”) rather than a one-syllable word (“ace”) when referring to the organization in shorthand. Host:Doug McKennaUniversity Registrar, George Mason Universitycmckenn@gmu.edu   Guests:Mushtaq GunjaExecutive Director of the Carnegie Classification Systems & Senior Vice President American Council on Education References and Additional Information:Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education® Classification MethodologyAmerican Council on Education

Alen is owner and meadmaker at FoolMoon Transilvania - Romania. Alen is Certified through the Level 2 Mead Judging Program at the European Mead Makers Association.

He's been making mead since 2020, and has a long family tradition of making wine and rakija. Somewhere in 2020, Alen switched from sourdough to mead because he wanted to feed his sourdough with honey. There was a small experimental batch and it grew into passion. Fool Moon opened in 2023, but didn't go public until 2024, after wending their way through a mess of paperwork in Romania. I got to meet him and sample his mead, and hang out at the Copa Hidromiel 2024 in Mexico City, where he nabbed a couple medals. Join us to talk mead with Alen!

Linda Murphy discusses the controversial statewide longitudinal data system bill in Oklahoma, highlighting its origins in the Obama administration's stimulus money and its connection to the Common Core State Standards. She explains how the system, initially designed for aggregate reporting, was transformed to collect student-level data, raising privacy concerns. Murphy also touches on the influence of the Hope Foundation and the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Analysis survey, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding funding and the potential misuse of data. Linda Murphy discusses the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment, a survey given to sixth graders that includes questions about gender identity and sexual orientation. She highlights the controversial nature of these questions and the potential for long-term data collection on students' attitudes, values, and beliefs. Murphy also mentions a federal labor report from the Clinton administration that included a student data profile with subjective evaluations, such as honesty ratings, and warns about the dangers of subjective judgments in data collection and potential misuse of this information. Linda Murphy discusses the approval of an AI platform from Carnegie and concerns about data collection in education. She highlights the need to dismantle the federal data system and emphasizes the importance of aligning data collection with state law and values. Murphy also mentions the role of Megan Offedil, hired to run the Office of Education Quality and Accountability, and her vision for transforming it into a P20 data hub. A Senate bill, amended before voting, prohibits the state's new data system from serving the same purpose as the state student identification system or directly reporting data to federal agencies. The bill also prohibits the collection of personal data, including religion, political affiliation, health insurance status, and medical information. The goal is to prevent top-down control of student programs and curriculum, emphasizing local school board and parent involvement. Linda Murphy discusses transparency and regulations regarding student privacy data, highlighting the 2013 student privacy data bill.

This stylized post-apocalyptic thriller is a unique example of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster with overtly Christian themes, even if it stops just short of a true Christian message. Directed by the Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and starring beloved leading man Denzel Washington, THE BOOK OF ELI depicts the Bible as a source of tremendous power in a fallen world. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a survivor of a nuclear holocaust, wandering westward on a mysterious mission with few possessions except for a large book that he treasures. When Eli crosses paths with local warlord Carnegie (Gary Oldman), Carnegie suspects that Eli's book may be the Bible, which Carnegie himself has been seeking because he believes reading it will give him the power to control large groups of people. Carnegie is perhaps a metaphor for hypocritical conmen religious leaders who use Christianity as a way to acquire power and money, whereas Eli could represent Christ or even just a true honest believer who has made it his mission to spread faith into the world. This metaphor becomes even more clear when Eli's quest is revealed to be delivery of the Bible to an enclave of secret archivists who will reprint and preserve it forever. The authenticity of Eli's faith becomes even more clear when Carnegie does steal the Bible, only to be upset to find it is written in Braille, revealing Eli to have been blind the whole time. Despite being mortally wounded by Carnegie, Eli makes it to the archivists in time to speak the entire Bible to them as an oral tradition, ensuring its preservation. In the final scene of the movie, we see the archivists putting the newly reprinted Bible on a shelf alongside the Torah and the Quran. This ending, which is obviously inspired by the novel FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury, shows that THE BOOK OF ELI is not a truly Christian genre film — few faith-based films would equate the Bible and the Quran. To view THE BOOK OF ELI through the lens of faith-based film criticism is to see it as a religious cop out; hinting that the Bible is the source of spiritual truth but ultimately dismissing it as “just another book on a shelf.” View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

Episode 574: Games that use movement points Episode release date is April 2, 2025   Show Notes   This week we are doing a one episode discussion of games that use movement points as a movement. What are movement points you ask? Well, movement points regulate how far a player can move their pieces during the game. For example, players are given a specific number of "points" that can be spent to move game pieces. Different spaces or terrains on the game board may cost varying amounts of movement points to enter. Players may receive a set number of movement points each turn that can be spread across multiple pieces. Those points could fluctuate depending on card draws or dice rolls.   Sometimes movement points can be part of a larger pool of actions, and movement can be part of or one of those actions.   In short, movement points provide a structured way to manage in game movement while adding a tactical element to gameplay.   So let's make it a point to move to the game table and discuss some games.   Sponsorship Game Toppers  SaltCON   Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at MeepleNation@gmail.com Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation   Meeple Nation Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Volunteer Group Flip 7 Douglas Outlive Andy Orléans   Games that use movement points Nathan Memoir ‘44 Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Maracaibo Specter Ops Tiny Epic Pirates The Hunger Near and Far Free Ride Secrets of the Lost Station Glory Island Concordia Concordia Venus Andy Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Maracaibo Near and Far Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Board Game Hyperborea Warrior Night Empire Builder Bardwood Grove Vanishing Planet Tiny Epic Pirates   Douglas Scythe War of the Ring: Second Edition Memoir ‘44 Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Dinosaur World Euthia: Torment of Resurrection - Fierce Powers / Crawling Shadows Endless Winter: River & Rafts    Telanislyon Carnegie has some interesting management choices in activating departments to move workers around for various economic functions.

It's still a good game, solid 7. Maracaibo would also have a choice of action to move your ship a certain distance also for triggering spaces. Not sure if that's totally true movement points, but fairly close The only other ones I can even think of would be troop movement for war games, like War of the Ring/for Arrakis or Axis & Allies.

Jeff and Michael are joined by Mushtaq Gunja, Executive Director of the Carnegie Classification Systems and Senior Vice President at ACE, to unpack the sweeping changes to the Carnegie Classifications. They explore how the new system aims to better group institutions, highlight student access and earnings, and shift incentives across funding, accountability, and rankings. The conversation dives into the implications for colleges chasing R1 status, the normative power of classifications, and whether these changes will meaningfully alter institutional behavior or simply create a new hierarchy.

Corruption. Class wars. Technological splendor. The dawn of a new age of business and government. Rockefeller and Carnegie. The Gilded Age in America—roughly the 1870s through the early 1900s—was one of the most fascinating and misunderstood eras in our history. It seems like every week, news organizations claim that the U.S. is in a new Gilded Age. But what does that mean? What was the Gilded Age? Today's guest is Richard White, award-winning historian and author of ‘The Republic for Which It Stands,' a mammoth history of America between the end of the Civil War and the end of the 19th century. We talk about how corruption and monopoly and power worked during that period. We talk about Rockefeller and Carnegie and Morgan, and how these giants typified the era with their business genius and their thin sense of morality. We talk about how the monopolies of this era used the government, and the government used these monopolies. And we talk about how the movements that emerged from the Gilded Age invented the modern world.

The distribution indicates that about 75% of households earned less than $125,000, and roughly 85% earned less than $150,000 (extrapolating from quintiles and income brackets). The top 10% of households start around $212,000 (per DQYDJ's 2024 calculator), so 85-90% of households earn $150,000 or less. Were the Rich Taxed First After 1913? Yes, when the federal income tax was implemented in 1913 under the Revenue Act of 1913, it was designed to primarily tax the wealthy. Here's why and how: The Setup in 1913 Income Thresholds: The tax applied only to taxable income above a personal exemption of $3,000 for single individuals or $4,000 for married couples. In 1913, $3,000 was a significant amount—roughly equivalent to $86,600 in 2025 dollars (as calculated earlier). The average annual income for a worker was around $700-$800, so most Americans earned far below the taxable threshold. Tax Rates: A base rate of 1% was levied on taxable income above the exemption. A progressive surtax kicked in for higher earners: 1% on income over $20,000 (about $577,000 in 2025 dollars) up to 6% on income over $500,000 (about $14.4 million in 2025 dollars). Impact: Only about 1-2% of the U.S. population paid income tax in 1913, as the exemptions excluded the vast majority. Those who did pay were disproportionately the rich—business owners, professionals, and the industrial elite. Why the Rich? Political Intent: The 16th Amendment and the 1913 tax were championed by Progressive Era reformers who aimed to shift the tax burden from regressive tariffs (which hit the poor harder) to a direct tax on high incomes. The idea was to make the wealthy shoulder more of the federal revenue load. Economic Context: The Gilded Age had created stark income inequality, with tycoons like Rockefeller and Carnegie amassing fortunes. The income tax was a response to calls for fairness and funding government without taxing consumption. Early Evidence In 1913, the top 1% of earners—those making above roughly $10,000-$20,000 annually (hundreds of thousands in today's dollars)—bore the brunt. For example,
