Mejia-Henriquez v. Attorney General USA

In a program devoted to the topic of AI, Ralph welcomes first, Tyson Slocum, director of the energy group at Public Citizen, who tells us about the local backlash against the construction of data centers. Then New York Times climate writer, David Wallace-Wells, explains how the Big Tech CEOs did not count on human beings possibly rising up against them and their machines.Tyson Slocum is director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, covering the regulation of petroleum, natural gas and power markets. He serves on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's “Energy & Environmental Markets Advisory Committee,” and frequently intervenes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) representing the interests of household consumers.The basic question is they (Big Tech companies) are developing essentially governmental powers— governmental powers— not market powers or corporate powers. They've reached a level now where they are our government, the corporate government. And we have to escalate our urgencies to that level. It's more than just the hour is late. The hour is over. So we have to go back and respond with a completely unprecedented level of public interest, standards, etc., including whether this technology (AI) should be allowed at all.Ralph NaderI definitely see that we are in a speculative bubble. That bubble will burst. And folks within the AI industry, like Sam Altman, have been very clear where they have publicly said, when the bubble breaks, we expect to get a financial bailout because our AI applications are so important to the national interest.Tyson SlocumAnd the backlash to data centers isn't just about, oh, I'm concerned about my power rates going up or I'm concerned about the noise or the water usage. It's also a civil rights and human rights issue where people are saying, I don't like this vision that Big Tech is laying out for us that is going to be produced in this building down the street from our community.Tyson SlocumDavid Wallace-Wells is a columnist and staff writer at the New York Times, where he writes a weekly newsletter on climate change, technology, and the future of the planet. He is the author of the book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His recent feature in the New York Times Magazine is “AI Populism is Here. And No One is Ready.”Just over the last six months, there's been a huge surge in anti-AI and in particular anti-data center organizing and activism in the U.S. And you can see that on the ground where you see huge crowds coming to town halls to protest new data centers that are being proposed. You see some towns that have approved those data centers literally having their entire city council voted out of office as a result. And you see it in these surveys where within the span of just a few months. Huge sentiment flips among the American public from being basically agnostic about AI with some misgivings and some optimism to pretty striking majority opposition to the technology and the infrastructure build out that it requires.David Wallace-WellsThis (AI) is a technological revolution that has been designed and is being built by an extremely small number of people with very particular idiosyncratic, in certain ways, I think, somewhat sociopathic worldviews.David Wallace-WellsNews 6/5/26* Our top story this week comes from Congress, where the House has, at long last, successfully pushed through a War Powers Resolution on Iran. As NPR notes “The resolution had originally been set for a vote two weeks ago, but Republican leaders sent House members home early for a May recess when it appeared the largely Democratic-backed measure had enough Republican votes for passage.” However, this did not substantially erode Republican support and the resolution passed by a margin of 215 to 208, with four Republicans, led by Thomas Massie, voting for a cessation of hostilities. The measure now heads to the Senate, where Democrats have been pressing the matter as well but face an uphill battle, and even if it passes through the upper chamber, President Trump is likely to veto the measure if it arrives on his desk. Moreover, House progressives are now pushing a new War Powers Resolution, this one focusing on Lebanon. POLITICO reports Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib forced a vote this Thursday on a resolution calling for the removal of U.S. troops from Lebanon in seven days, despite opposition from the leadership of her own party. The resolution failed by a wide margin, but still garnered a respectable 92 votes, including support from Congressman Massie. Symbolic though they may be, these votes show a growing backlash to Trump's military adventurism abroad, particularly in the Middle East. With oil prices continuing to rise, this discontent shows no sign of abating.* The main news this week however were the primaires. Tuesday saw a wave of major Democratic primaries across the country. Faiz Shakir, longtime advisor to Bernie Sanders and Executive Director of More Perfect Union, reports that election night was a “clean sweep for Bernie's endorsements” with five out of five of these candidates set to win the Democratic nomination in their respective races. One race Shakir highlighted was Sam Forstag's bid for Congress in Montana's 1st congressional district. Forstag, a firefighter – technically a “smokejumper,” who parachutes into remote areas to extinguish wildfires – earned the endorsements of AOC, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal and others, as well as many unions, in addition to that of Senator Sanders. Meanwhile in the Montana Senate race, Alani Bankhead has triumphed in the Democratic primary. According to Semafor, “Republicans suspect Bankhead will essentially cede the race to [independent candidate Seth] Bodnar (despite her denials), which would make the general election more competitive.” Bodnar is the former president of the University of Montana and his campaign is backed by former Democratic Senator Jon Tester. One recent poll of a head-to-head match up of Bodnar against Republican nominee Kurt Alme shows the candidates in a dead heat.* In New Jersey, two more Sanders-endorsed candidates have emerged victorious: Analilia Mejia and Dr. Adam Hamawy. Mejia won the special election to replace now-Governor Mikie Sherill in April, beating out former Congressman Tom Malinowksi, the heavy favorite in that race. Mejia is very likely to win this seat again in November, as she already defeated the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway, in the special election. This from MorristownGreen. Perhaps more surprisingly is the victory of Dr. Adam Hamawy. Now a plastic surgeon, he has distinguished himself for his heroism: saving the life of now-Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq, serving as a first responder to the 9/11 attacks, and most recently, for his work in Gaza. As the Intercept puts it, “In 2024, [Hamawy]...went to Gaza to provide medical aid to Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces and was temporarily trapped there after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing. When the crossing was reopened, Hamawy was among a small group who refused to leave on demands that more medical workers be let in.” Hamawy's progressive policy platform includes support for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing military aid to Israel. He is almost guaranteed to win this D+13 seat, succeeding Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.* The candidates Bernie endorsed in California also prevailed, with Randy Villegas poised to win his primary in the state's 22nd congressional district and Jane Kim winning her race for California Insurance Commissioner, but the results from the state overall are more mixed. As of now, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton leads in the count, with centrist Democrat and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra in a close second and progressive billionaire Tom Steyer in third. However, as the count continues, Steyer's margin continues to improve while Hilton's ebbs away – meaning the runoff could end up being Becerra vs. Steyer, though it is still too early to say. A similar dynamic is unfolding in Los Angeles, where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is ensured a slot in the general election while her opponents – Councilwoman Nithya Raman to her left and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt to her right – continue to duke it out for the second slot. With California's notoriously glacial counting pace and the LA Times reporting that millions of ballots remain to be counted, all we can do is watch and wait.* However, up in Minnesota, another Bernie-backed candidate is on the road to victory. On Tuesday, Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Amy Klobuchar, overwhelmingly won the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Her closest rival, Congresswoman Angie Craig, did not even bother to attend the party convention. While Craig decried the supposed anti-democratic nature of a party convention endorsement, Flanagan posted a video telling Craig “If you can't show up and face your own party, then you're not ready to face Republicans,” per the Nation. Flanagan can boast the endorsement of many high-profile progressives in addition to Sanders, such as Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and Minnesota's own Tina Smith, among many others. If elected, she would be the first ever Native American woman to serve as Governor of an American state.* More much-publicized endorsements came this week from AOC and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who both endorsed DSA-aligned legislative candidates, but as City and State NY notes, not the same ones. Mamdani gave his blessing to Darializa Avila Chevalier, a DSA-backed candidate running to unseat powerful Rep. Adriano Espaillat who is seeking his sixth term in Congress. Polling shows Avila Chevalier runs ahead of Espaillat when voters learn about her platform, but lags behind due to low name recognition – something the Zohran endorsement is sure to help remedy. Meanwhile AOC issued her endorsement of four DSA candidates for the state legislature. This all suggests that the two titans of the New York City Democratic Socialist movement are coordinating – with Zohran seeking to boost DSA's prospects without alienating the New York state establishment and vice versa for AOC – but that is nothing more than a hunch.* Looking southward, lame duck Republican Senator John Cornyn this week posted an article on his official Twitter page titled “Libertarian Ted Brown courts disaffected conservative voters in Texas' U.S. Senate race,” from Houston Public Media. Senator Cornyn's comment – “Ruh roh” – set off a firestorm of speculation that this was a subtle endorsement of the Libertarian's campaign and intended to undermine the campaign of his erstwhile opponent and victor of the Republican Senate primary, Ken Paxton. While Cornyn has furiously denied that this is in any way an endorsement of Brown, calling even the “characterization” that he is “promoting” this candidate “fake news,” there is little doubt that posting about Brown from his official account constitutes a promotion of the campaign, albeit not an endorsement. It will be interesting to see whether Cornyn takes other subtle, or not so subtle, digs at Paxton over the course of the campaign, given that he seems to hold a substantial degree of antipathy towards the Texas Attorney General.* Our next two stories come to us from Florida. First, in Florida's 24th congressional district, the National Journal reports longtime Congresswoman Frederica Wilson will not seek reelection. We recently discussed Congresswoman Wilson on this segment when it was revealed that she had been MIA from the House for weeks following an undisclosed eye surgery. Wilson is 82 years old. The National Journal couches this story in the context of aged members of Congress accepting, or more often refusing, to pass the torch. In its gerontocracy tracker, it highlights members like Doris Matsui, John Garamendi, Jim Clyburn and Maxine Waters, all of whom are 80 years old or older, who are actively seeking reelection this cycle.* Meanwhile, in Florida's 20th district, the Sunshine State's redistricting initiative has put the historically Black district in jeopardy. Under the newly drawn lines, the frontrunner in this seat is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and though she claims the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told her that “they know I know our community” the CBC has not endorsed her and Rep. Yvette Clarke, the CBC's chairwoman, said the caucus did not encourage Wasserman Schultz to run in the district. However, there are currently four Black candidates vying for the seat previously held by Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, including Cherfilus-McCormick herself as well as progressive challenger Elijah Manley, former Mayor of Broward County Dale Holness and Luther Campbell the former rapper more famously known as Uncle Luke. Now, according to the Miami Herald, all four of these candidates are meeting to “discuss coalescing behind one candidate.” Manley is quoted in this piece saying that while they have not reached an agreement, they “did agree that we needed to consolidate,” and he said the “conversations are going on. They have been very constructive and fruitful.” It is encouraging that in the wake of Callais decision we are beginning to see a more strategic approach to Black political representation, which has been too long monopolized by powerful longtime incumbents intent on nothing so much as preserving their own fiefdoms.* Finally, in a story shocking to exactly no one, Axios is out with a new report showing that the National Guard occupation of Washington D.C. has done little to reduce crime in the District. Per a new study by the centrist Niskansen Center, while the security theater of the deployment seems to have deterred “opportunistic” property crime, violent crime remained on the same downward trajectory it had been on since before the deployment. Moreover, the promised co-benefit – that the presence of the Guard would free up the Metropolitan Police Department to focus on high-crime areas – did not materialize at all. Despite these lackluster results, President Trump plans to double the National Guard presence in Washington – which already costs $1.5 million a day – ahead of the 250th anniversary events this summer. This is an outrageous waste of taxpayer money especially now that we know for sure how little impact this hostile occupation is actually having on driving down violent crime.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The single-elite-pitch era is closing out. Hitters caught up. Flatter swings, simpler load patterns, machine prep against any movement profile, and the discipline to ride out their front side mean a 70-grade four-seamer alone doesn't survive third time through the order anymore. The new edge is repertoire.Trevor and Dan break down why pitching development has shifted toward stacking multiple fastballs at the same velocity. Zach Wheeler throws three. Paul Skenes throws three. Cam Schlittler, Peyton Tolle, Davis Martin, Christopher Sanchez — all riding multi-fastball mixes that defeat the single-pitch sit. The conversation moves through tunneling, weak contact and stolen strikes as the new market inefficiencies, why Stuff+ models miss repertoire interaction, and Corbin Burns as the canonical case study where a "below-average" sinker existed to make a 120-grade cutter play.Chapters00:00 — Open / Mother's Day intro01:53 — The multi-fastball trend: Soriano, Schlittler, Joe Ryan, Peyton Tolle02:22 — The Zach Wheeler model: why hitters caught up, and the Trajekt machine03:58 — Mizorowski as the velocity outlier04:58 — Christopher Sanchez: when even an elite pitch starts getting hunted07:22 — Corbin Burns: cutter as the engine, sinker as the steal12:46 — The two missed market inefficiencies: weak contact and stolen strikes16:48 — Peyton Tolley: adding a C-grade sinker to make a 70-grade four-seamer play21:54 — Davis Martin: 60% fastball, three variations, nothing graded above average, sub-2 ERA23:19 — Joey Volcheck and Georgia: the trend reaching college baseball24:40 — IPitch / Trajekt: how hitter prep changed the math32:17 — Multi-fastball relievers: Vodnik, Mejia, Perkins41:22 — The Stuff+ blind spot: how do you grade repertoire interaction?51:00 — Closing thoughts

Believers are to pray for the salvation of lost corporately

Mateo 13:24-28 (RVR1960) “Les refirió otra parábola, diciendo: El reino de los cielos es semejante a un hombre que sembró buena semilla en su campo…"La Mente: El Terreno de ConquistaLa mente humana es el terreno fértil que Dios nos entregó. Somos más fértiles que la misma tierra: nuestro corazón es fértil, nuestro ser es fértil, pero nuestra mente es un territorio estratégico. De hecho, el primer escenario de guerra, el primer lugar donde el enemigo ataca, es la mente. Vivimos en la era de los ataques y enfermedades mentales. Entendemos que la mente es el escenario de las grandes batallas espirituales, tal como dice 2 Corintios 10:4-5 (RVR1960): “porque las armas de nuestra milicia no son carnales, sino poderosas en Dios para la destrucción de fortalezas, derribando argumentos y toda altivez que se levanta contra el conocimiento de Dios, y llevando cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo”.Mateo 13:24-28 (RVR1960) “Les refirió otra parábola, diciendo: El reino de los cielos es semejante a un hombre que sembró buena semilla en su campo; pero mientras dormían los hombres, vino su enemigo y sembró cizaña entre el trigo, y se fue. Y cuando salió la hierba y dio fruto, entonces apareció también la cizaña. Vinieron entonces los siervos del padre de familia y le dijeron: Señor, ¿no sembraste buena semilla en tu campo? ¿De dónde, pues, tiene cizaña? Él les dijo: Un enemigo ha hecho esto. Los siervos le dijeron: ¿Quieres, pues, que vayamos y la arranquemos?”La Biblia dice que este hombre tenía un campo; nuestro campo es la mente. Él sembró buena semilla, pero mientras los hombres dormían, el enemigo sembró cizaña. El primer punto crítico aquí es que el ataque ocurrió durante el sueño, en la vulnerabilidad de la noche.Raíces Invisibles y Frutos EvidentesEsa semilla sembrada en la oscuridad echó raíces, nada se hace evidente si primero no se arraiga; Para que una planta brote, ya ha conquistado el subsuelo, esto significa que todo lo que hoy ves manifestado en tu vida, ya tiene una raíz profunda. Debemos recordar lo que dice Proverbios 4:23 (RVR1960): “Sobre toda cosa guardada, guarda tu corazón; porque de él mana la vida”.Cuando el trigo produjo grano, apareció la cizaña, los siervos preguntaron: “Señor, ¿no sembraste buena semilla? ¿De dónde, pues, tiene cizaña?”. La respuesta fue clara: “Un enemigo ha hecho esto”.¿Qué tanto cuidamos nuestra mente? ¿Clasificamos las semillas que entran? Todo campo descuidado se llena de maleza, la maleza drena la vida del buen árbol. Si no revisamos el jardín mental, aparecen pensamientos parásitos que devoran los buenos. Nuestra tarea es: “regar, sembrar, cultivar, cortar y desarraigar todo lo que Dios no plantó”, está escrito en Mateo 15:13 (RVR1960): “Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada”.El Ataque a los FundamentosSalmo 11:3 (RVR1960) “Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos, ¿qué ha de hacer el justo?”Existe una agenda diseñada para destruir fundamentos. Toda sociedad y civilización se sostiene sobre bases; si estas caen, la estructura se desploma. Estamos viviendo el ataque más grande y silencioso contra los fundamentos de la iglesia: la fe, la moral, el amor, la identidad y la doctrina.Semilla 1: La verdad relativaLa idea de hoy es que no hay verdades absolutas, sino que cada uno tiene "su verdad". Al hacer esto, la verdad se reduce a una simple opinión. La Biblia es tajante en Juan 17:17 (RVR1960): “Santifícalos en tu verdad; tu palabra es verdad”.El relativismo dice: "lo que es verdad para ti, no lo es para mí". Pero la verdad no es un sentimiento, yo puedo decir que los gatos tienen tres patas porque vi uno así, pero la realidad es que tienen cuatro. Esta semilla se está sembrando especialmente en los jóvenes, llevándolos a creer que "respetar el criterio" es validar el error, no podemos respetar la autodestrucción bajo el nombre de “opinión", Jesús dijo en Juan 8:32 (RVR1960): “y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres”; sin verdad absoluta, no hay libertad real.La postura de la Iglesia: Este concepto ha entrado a las congregaciones. Aunque hay temas opcionales (formas, moldes), los fundamentos son innegociables:Jesucristo es el único mediador: “Porque hay un solo Dios, y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre” (1 Timoteo 2:5 RVR1960).La Palabra de Dios es infalible.Somos Trinitarios: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.Necesitamos nacer de nuevo y ser bautizados.Semilla 2: El Adormecimiento EspiritualMateo 13:22 (RVR1960) “El que fue sembrado entre espinos, este es el que oye la palabra, pero el afán de este siglo y el engaño de las riquezas ahogan la palabra, y se hace infructuosa.”Dios debe ser el primero. Cuando el primer lugar se comparte, Dios deja de ser el número uno. El adormecimiento ocurre cuando convertimos la iglesia en un club social. Debemos estar alertas como está escrito en 1 Pedro 5:8 (RVR1960): “Sed sobrios, y velad; porque vuestro adversario el diablo, como león rugiente, anda alrededor buscando a quien devorar”.La espiritualidad es personal, no global:El congregarse no sustituye el devocional: Orar en la iglesia no reemplaza tu oración en el secreto de tu casa. Mateo 6:6 (RVR1960) dice: “Mas tú, cuando ores, entra en tu aposento, y cerrada la puerta, ora a tu Padre que está en secreto...”.La prédica no sustituye tu lectura: Que el pastor lea la Biblia no quita tu responsabilidad de escudriñarla.El evento no sustituye la intimidad: La "carga de batería" del domingo no te servirá para toda la semana si no buscas a Dios a diario.Semilla 3: La Normalización del PecadoEs cuando lo que es pecado se celebra como "ser auténtico". Isaías 5:20 (RVR1960) nos advierte: “¡Ay de los que a lo malo dicen bueno, y a lo bueno malo; que hacen de las tinieblas luz, y de la luz tinieblas; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo!”.Se han redefinido los conceptos, ahora se dice que no se puede predicar sobre la culpa, solo sobre la gracia, pero ojo: la responsabilidad no es culpa. Buscar a Dios, leer la Biblia y orar no es una "hazaña heroica", es tu responsabilidad y disciplina espiritual. Como dice Romanos 12:2 (RVR1960): “No os conforméis a este siglo, sino transformaos por medio de la renovación de vuestro entendimiento...”.No podemos permitir que se nos "zafen los tornillos" y normalicemos el pecado en casa, lo que está mal, está mal, aunque todo el mundo lo haga. Dejemos de ser "focas de circo" que aplauden cualquier concepto moderno y empecemos a cuestionar lo que contradice la Verdad.

What happens when the vision of Fresh Expressions is translated not only into another language, but into another cultural context?In this episode, we talk with Eliseo Mejia, who translated and contextualized Expresiones Divinas, the Spanish edition of Travis Collins' book on Fresh Expressions. Eliseo shares how the ideas behind Fresh Expressions connect with the rhythms, relationships, and everyday spaces of Hispanic communities across the U.S.We also explore why making resources available in Spanish matters, because it is opening the door for more pastors and leaders to imagine new forms of church in their own contexts. Our hope is simple: to help place this resource into the hands of Spanish-speaking leaders and churches who are ready to cultivate new communities of faith where people already are.

Israel and Lebanon enter into a 10-day ceasefire. President Trump saying the brief pause of violence began after conversations with the Lebanese President and Israeli Prime Minister. It was the first time leaders from the neighboring countries met in-person in the U.S. Capitol for 34 years. The State Department says Lebanon, with international support, is expected to take steps to prevent Hezbollah and other armed groups from launching attacks on Israel.In an over night vote on Capitol Hill, House lawmakers extended FISA, a controversial spy powers act. The 10-day extension gives Republican leaders more time to negotiate a deal with hold outs. FISA is a surveillance law that allows the government to gather foreign intelligence, but several lawmakers have raised concerns that it doesn't have guardrails to protect Americans' privacy. The bill will now go to the Senate, with House Speaker Mike Johnson saying he's optimistic a deal will be reached by the new deadline.Democrat Analilia Mejia has won a special election in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.

08:00 — John Nichols, Executive Editor of the Nation. 33:00 — Naysan Rafati is Crisis Group's Iran Senior Analyst. His research is focused on the Iran nuclear deal and Iran's regional policies. The post Analilia Mejia's Path to Victory in New Jersey; Plus, Debriefing Recent US-Iran Talks appeared first on KPFA.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that a challenger to a progressive New Jersey Democrat has conceded.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, progressive Analilia Mejia secures a stunning win over former Rep. Tom Malinowski in the Democratic primary for the race to fill Gov. Mikie Sherrill's former Congressional seat. Mejia will square off against Republican Joe Hathaway, who joined the show to discuss the upcoming special election. Plus, federal funding for the Gateway tunnel project remains frozen despite a recent court order to let the money flow, as a judge gives the Trump administration a chance to appeal. Also, state lawmakers renew debate over how opioid settlement funds should be spent in New Jersey. And, below freezing temperatures turns deadly as state officials report 20 deaths tied to cold weather around the Garden State in recent weeks.

Many Christians struggle with money because they follow the American cycle of consume, lack, and fear rather than God's way. The typical approach leads to anxiety and a scarcity mindset, while God calls us to give first and trust His provision. Jesus warns against greed in the parable of the rich fool, who stored up wealth for himself instead of being rich toward God. God blesses us not primarily to increase our standard of living, but our standard of giving. True financial freedom comes from living below our means, creating a budget, and actively looking for ways to meet others' needs through generous giving.

Emerging designers are stepping into a profession that looks nothing like what many were trained for—hybrid work has changed studio culture, and AI is accelerating everything from ideation to expectations. In this episode of I Hear Design, host Robert Nieminen sits down with Elisabeth Mejia, IIDA NY Chapter President and Office Design Leader, Interiors at HKS, and Paridhi Chawla, VP of Student Development for IIDA NY and a designer at TPG Architecture, to rethink what mentorship needs to be right now. Together, they explore mentorship as a two-way partnership and a safe space for honest questions, as well as highlight the real difference between a mentor and a sponsor who advocates for you when you're not in the room. They also discuss “listening-first” leadership, transparency around expectations, and how mentors can support diverse, early-career talent with empathy and clarity. You'll also hear how IIDA NY is turning mentorship into action through Career Night, the Student Uplift Program, and the upcoming Listening Lounge—initiatives designed to connect students, emerging professionals, and industry partners in more intentional ways.

In Seven Crashes: The Economic Crises That Shaped Globalization (Yale UP, 2023), distinguished economic historian Harold James offers a fresh perspective on the past two centuries of globalization and the pivotal moments that shaped it. James analyzes seven major economic crises that occurred over this period, including the late 1840s, the simultaneous stock market shocks of 1873, the First World War years, the Great Depression era, the 1970s, the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, and most recently the Covid-19 crisis. Through his insightful analysis, he illustrates how some of these crises contributed to increased cross-border integration of labor, goods, and capital markets, while others resulted in significant deglobalization. James classifies the crises into two categories: those caused by shortages and those driven by demand. He explains how shortages have led to greater globalization as markets expanded and producers innovated to increase supply, as evidenced by events such as the First World War and the oil shocks of the 1970s. In contrast, demand-driven crises, such as those that caused the Great Depression and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, have typically led to international trade contraction and decreased globalization, often accompanied by widespread skepticism of governments. To support his findings, James examines the writings of key observers who shaped our understanding of each crisis, including Karl Marx in 1848, Stanley Jevons, Léon Walras, and Carl Menger in the 1870s, German Treasury Secretary Karl Helfferich in the First World War, John Maynard Keynes in the Great Depression, Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek in the 1970s, Ben Bernanke in 2008, and Larry Summers and Raj Chetty in 2020. Overall, James' work provides an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between economic crises and globalization over the past two centuries, and sheds light on the potential trajectory of future economic developments. Javier Mejia is an economist at Stanford University who specializes in the intersection of social networks and economic history. His research interests also include entrepreneurship and political economy, with a particular focus on Latin America and the Middle East. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Los Andes University. Mejia has previously been a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer at New York University-Abu Dhabi and a Visiting Scholar at the University of Bordeaux. He is also a frequent contributor to various news outlets, currently serving as an op-ed columnist for Forbes Magazine. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Earth Transformed. An Untold History (Knopf, 2023) is a captivating and informative book that reveals how climate change has been a driving force behind the development and decline of civilizations across the centuries. The author, Peter Frankopan, takes readers on a journey through history, showcasing how natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, El Niño, and solar flare activity have shaped the course of human events. Frankopan's extensive research, coupled with his accessible writing style, makes for an engaging read that reframes our understanding of the world and our place in it. One of the strengths of The Earth Transformed is the way in which Frankopan connects seemingly disparate events to highlight the far-reaching impact of climate change. For example, he explains how the Vikings emerged as a result of catastrophic crop failure, and how the collapse of cotton prices due to unusual climate patterns led to regime change in eleventh-century Baghdad. Through such connections, Frankopan demonstrates how past empires that failed to act sustainably were met with catastrophe, providing valuable lessons for our current environmental crisis. Overall, The Earth Transformed is a timely and important book that sheds light on the enduring relationship between humans and the natural world. It challenges readers to reckon with our species' impact on the environment and to consider how we can act sustainably to prevent further harm. Frankopan's interdisciplinary approach, combining historical research with scientific insights, makes for a compelling and thought-provoking read that will leave readers with a new perspective on the world around us.
