Read excerpt
Keith and Ryan trace the intellectual history of the modern Left. From the rise of the New Left and the radical movements of the twentieth century to the collapse of Marxism as a serious political alternative after the Cold War, they look at how the Left adapted itself to a new world of globalisation. What remains of the old Left, what replaced it, and how did a movement once defined by opposition to capitalism become so closely intertwined with the institutions of the modern global order?

How reliant has the US economy become on the AI boom? Can China catch up without matching American spending? And what warning signs would suggest the AI bubble is finally beginning to burst?
