The new ruling elite in the west the ultra-wealthy tech magnates, financial wizards and corporate bosses that wield enormous power over us embrace extremely progressive political ideas. What explains this apparent paradox?In this scintillating critique of these new radical plutocrats, conservative commentator Ed West argues that the luxury beliefs of the new Brahmin caste are perfectly consistent with their accumulation of ever greater wealth. Ultra-liberalism, with its inherent bias towards valorising autonomy, freedom, and cosmopolitanism, is a creed that inherently benefits the rich. Examining how this new elite allies itself with both younger, poorer knowledge workers and immigrants against the more culturally conservative working classes, he argues that the rise of identity politics allows the wealthy to pose as social justice warriors in a way that poses no threat to their own privilege and power.A must-read for both conservatives and traditional leftists, Brahmins is a razor-sharp diagnosis of a culture that is combining the worst element of capitalism and progressivism.

At a time when politics and government feel so broken in so many parts of the world, this is a dose of optimism amid the gloom; stunning examples of people and places where courage has led to real change for the better. Alastair CampbellAt a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.In Japan, he discovers inter-generational care homes ensuring dignity in later life - while Britain ducks the social care question. He visits Viennas century-old housing projects where 60% of residents live in subsidised accommodation without stigma and communities thrive. Taiwans health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. From Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara producing enough clean energy to power two million homes to Finnish classrooms preparing children for an uncertain world that Britains teaching-to-the-test system cannot match - Kampfner introduces us to the people making radical change happen.These arent utopias. But what unites them is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The countries showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn.

Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience. Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London. Bridgertons Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featheringtons house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street. Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austens world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series dance card. A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Baths former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunters Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street. Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel. The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.

Opened in 1907, Brooklands was Britains first motor-racing circuit. It became famous for its high speeds and the credo, The right crowd and no crowding. Allowed only two races before being banned from any competitive participation by the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club, it was not until the 1930s that women could finally race on equal terms against men. The decade before the Second World War was the heyday for the remarkable women drivers who became known as the Brooklands Belles, a group of talented and determined women fearlessly challenging the rules of a fledgling male-dominated sport. The Brookland Belles tore up the rule book. They lit up the Brooklands social scene and took the increasingly dangerous Brooklands track by storm. They captured the publics imagination as they brought an intoxicating mixture of glamour, thrilling entertainment and often death-defying skill to the famous banked track, breaking both records and accepted social conventions of the time. This is their story.

A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in ones own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustines understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.
