Everyone loves equality. The problem is, however, that in geopolitics equality usually does not work very well. The fact is that domination of one sort or another has a better chance of preventing war than a system in which no one is really in charge
The 21st century is likely to see not a population explosion, but a cessation of population growth altogether. The defining demographic characteristics of the 21st century are likely to be declining births and stabilization in size
Immortality: Holding Back the Years
The quest for immortality probably began with the first flicker of human consciousness and was driven by survival. Although immortality looks as remote today as it did thousands of years ago, we have made strides in prolonging life and understanding why we age
Moscow - Beijing Ties: An Axis of Necessity
The recent Russia - China presidential summit in Moscow yielded a clear message. Both governments want a comprehensive relationship, but they want one that is practical and based on common interests. Shop-worn Cold War ideology has nothing to do with it
Elimination of Poverty Possible
The head of the World Bank says for the first time in human history, it is possible to eliminate poverty around the world. Jim Yong Kim told an audience, he wants to make ending world poverty by 2030 a top priority for the Bank and governments around the world
New Century is Off to a Wobbly Start
This certainly is not the best of times, nor the worst of times, considering the years of totalitarianism, war and cold war the world lived through in the 20th century, recently closed. But the years since 2000 have provided no auspicious start to the 21st century
United States and Israel Push The Boundaries of International Law
International law progresses through violations. We invented targeted assassination and we had to push it. At first there were protrusions that made it hard to insert into the legal molds. Now, it is in the center of the bounds of legitimacy
Military Interventions Rarely Fulfill Their Goals
Military interventions by powerful nations into lesser ones, such as now continues in Mali (and Afghanistan), and is being urged by many into the Syrian civil war, are inherently reckless since even the most powerful states can have the whole project blow up on them
Why do once-successful societies ossify and decline? Hundreds of reasons have been adduced for the fall of nations and empires. Reasons run from inflation and excessive spending to resource depletion and enemy invasion, as historians attempt to understand the sudden collapses
-
George Magnus, the former chief economist at UBS Investment Bank and author of The Age of Aging has spent five years researching the effects of declining fertility on the global economy
Feel Like retiring? Forget It!
While longer years of life are a blessing, the speed with which this demographic change has occurred is forcing everyone -- from governments to employers to individual workers -- to rethink retirement
Half-Baked Economic Theories Continue to Direct Global Economy
I am not writing this to pile on two Harvard economists who put the Western world into economic mess. I am concerned about the policy professionals who accept such economic propositions even when they seem self-evidently too good to be true and defy common sense
UN Arms Treaty May Succeed Despite Iran, North Korea, Syria and NRA
Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias could not believe his ears when he heard that the United Nations had overwhelmingly approved a treaty to curb international arms sales, a cause he had been championing for nearly two decades
Pope Francis Ties with Jews, Muslims Could Strengthen Vatican
The most interesting thing about Argentine Pope Francis may be not just that he's the first Latin American to head the Vatican, but also that he may become the Church's biggest champion of interfaith dialogue ever
Pope Francis Staunch in Conservatism and in Defense of the Poor
A pope from Latin America brings to Rome an attunement to the nature of poverty. This is the social question of the moment. How far will Francis go to press his natural constituency on the right wing to establish a more just economic order?
War seems to come out of nowhere, like rust that suddenly pops up on iron after a storm. Throughout history, we have seen that war can sometimes be avoided or postponed, or its effects mitigated. But it never seems to go away entirely
The World's Struggle to Kick the Habit
Packaging has become what some describe as the 'last bastion' of tobacco marketing. And there is much to play for. Consumption of tobacco products continues to grow despite declines in most high-income countries
As two hellish, costly and needless wars struggle toward collapse, this is the time for us to look honestly at the cost and quality of national security based on militarism. It's time to get it through our heads that war is not inevitable
-
Capitalism is not facing any sort of crisis, but rather is just being subverted by socialists, Wall Street con artists and various anti-capitalist wishful thinkers who are corrupting the once-straightforward relationship between work and benefit
When are Goals Ever Truly Realized in International Affairs?
It is, I suppose, too discouraging to face the fact that in international affairs paradox and contradiction rule the world. Policymakers and politicians consistently get what they don't want
Beyond the Post-Cold War World
We have lived in the post-Cold War world since 1991. The post-Cold War world had two phases. The first lasted from Dec. 31, 1991, until Sept. 11, 2001. The second lasted from 9/11 until now. We are now entering a new period
The bombs went off in the final stretch of the race -- which had been dedicated to the victims of the tragedy in Newtown. My God. Now another wound has opened in the social fabric. Another enormous question tears at our hearts. Once again we ask: Why?
Bin Laden's Influence Lives on After Him
A day will undoubtedly come when Osama bin Laden will occupy the same place in 21st century history as Gavrilo Princip holds in the history of the 20th Century. Both committed acts that provoked great wars, brought down empires and profoundly altered their times
Dam Construction Raising Regional Tensions
Here come those dastardly dams! In Asia, Africa and the Middle East, nations are aggressively building new hydroelectric dams, seemingly heedless of the potentially disastrous effects on the countries downstream
This is a glimpse at what it means to build lasting peace: to transform the volatility of hopelessness into deep and real connection between people. And this is the beginning of lasting peace
We'll be leaving behind an unstable Afghanistan with hundreds of armed insurgent groups. We haven't rescued or rebuilt the country or accomplished any objective that begins to justify the human and financial cost of this adventure. We just lost

Usual Suspects Using Terror Attacks to Bludgeon Immigration Reform
After November's election, Republican hardliners were forced to accept that their opposition to reform was too costly. And then, Boston. The bombings are now a pretext for many Republicans to retreat from sensible immigration legislation
Deportation has become a near-taboo word. Yet the recent Boston bombings rekindle questions about the way the U.S. admits, or at times deports, foreign nationals. The current emphasis is on increasing legal immigration and granting amnesties
The Case Against Cutting Social Security and Medicare
The president and a few other prominent Democrats are openly suggesting that Social Security payments be reduced by applying a lower adjustment for inflation, and that Medicare be means-tested. These particular pre-concessions are especially unwise
Citing significant concerns about long lines at airports and flight delays caused by the furlough of air-traffic controllers, Congress let the Federal Aviation Administration override strict sequestration rules and redirect funds within its budget
Flying Over an Act of Monumental Stupidity
Conservatives in Congress decided the sequester was just fine as it was and allowed the cuts to go forward. Until they caved on air traffic. That's undoubtedly a precursor to well-lobbied government programs getting exceptions
We live in a society that requires enemies, and my guess is that, however much the promoters of drone technology extol the positive uses of drones -- finding lost children, rescue assistance, etc -- their primary use will be in us-versus-them situations
Where Our Democracy Works and Where It Doesn't
Who says American politics is gridlocked? It's nice to think logic and reason are finally catching up with our elected representatives, but the real explanation for these changes of heart is more prosaic: public opinion
America's Just Not That into Obama
Yes, Obama got elected and re-elected, and that's saying something. But whatever personal popularity the man has doesn't transfer to domestic policy. It's as if the American people are saying, 'Mr. President, we're just not that in to you'
We can imagine what lies ahead in 2017 -- no matter the result of either the 2014 midterm elections or the 2016 presidential outcome. That staggering deficit will force the next president to be a deficit hawk, both fiscally and politically
-
History is full of warnings about what happens when people follow public opinion instead of standing by their principles. Major media have whipped the crowd into its latest frenzy over same-sex marriage
There are many successful liberals, so why do so many of them wish to subsidize failure for the poor, instead of showing them how to succeed? That is precisely what the left does not want to do, because it would expose liberalism's failure
'Right wing' Does Not Equal 'Terrorist'
Over the last few years, the invariably unjustified rush to pin violence on the 'right wing' has reached the point of parody. The term 'right wing' is also routinely used to describe both terrorists and mainstream Republicans
Where Obama Should Listen to Rand Paul: Legal Pot
As the nation's capital prepares to open its first legal medicinal marijuana dispensary and Rand Paul's call for legalization basks in bipartisan praise, it's time for President Obama to clear the air around his own passive-aggressive position on pot
Rand Paul Gets Schooled at Howard University
Rand Paul, GOP senator from Kentucky, told the Christian Science Monitor that his recent visit to Howard didn't go so bad at all. He said any perception to the contrary was created by -- all together now -- the 'left-wing media'
Rand Paul has Explaining to Do
Within hours after Sen. Rand Paul's news-making speech at historically black Howard University, someone posted on the user-driven Urban Dictionary website this new definition of an awkward-sounding but quite timely verb, 'whitesplain'
An Odd Push to Privatize Marriage
Should government get out of the business of defining marriage? That's not a new question. But as conservatives appear to be losing ground in the same-sex marriage debate, some are showing a new interest in changing the rules
Fear of Gay Marriage Backlash Overblown
Even Supreme Court justices care what people think about them. In their current same-sex marriage cases, they fear a big public backlash if they overreach. But history also shows such fears to be greatly exaggerated when a controversial decision's time has come
Can GOP Reverse the Damage Done by Iraq?
Whatever defenses there may be for the Iraq war, it was a staggering political disaster for the Republican Party. Is that fair? Maybe -- or maybe not. As a matter of analysis, fair doesn't have much to do with it
-
The sanitized narrative and images we have of Sandy Hook apparently aren't enough. After months of anticipation that now, finally, something would be accomplished on gun law reform, the Senate has deep-sixed a package of mild measures in an act of political cowardice
Gun Vote Reveals New GOP Divide
Inside Republican congressional leadership, celebrations are muted. This fight over background checks for gun purchases exposed a dangerous divide in the Grand Old Party's ranks that has opened up since the party's presidential election defeat
Marco Rubio Comes Up Short on Gun Control
Marco Rubio showed his true yellow colors, joining 45 other cowards to defeat Senate legislation designed to stop criminals from buying firearms online and at gun shows. The vote was nauseating. So is Rubio
As a consensus has slowly built that Congress will at best settle for half a loaf on tough new gun-control legislation, President Obama continues to do a version of a Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope dance on the issue
School is a Battlefield, and NRA Determined to Keep it that Way
Good guys vs bad guys, both sides armed to the teeth. That's how the NRA views the moral universe. Yes, the group admits, an epidemic of gun violence is plaguing our nation. The reason for it is that good people have disarmed themselves. The cure is to rearm
The new 'tougher' gun laws in Maryland and Connecticut appear to be the result of high emotion, not logic and clear thinking. We all ache for the Sandy Hook victims, but the Newtown tragedy shouldn't be used as a prop for anti-gun proponents
The bombs went off in the final stretch of the race -- which had been dedicated to the victims of the tragedy in Newtown. My God. Now another wound has opened in the social fabric. Another enormous question tears at our hearts. Once again we ask: Why?
Immigration: Of Athens and Jerusalem
It's a complicated mix, the history of American immigration, just as the future of American immigration doubtless will be. But creating two classes of Americans, foreign workers and real citizens, Americans first- and second-class, has never worked in this country
We're chasing infinity. We're ceding ever more ground but aren't the least bit safer than we were a decade or a half-century ago. Every high-profile act of violence is followed by some new security procedure and market opportunity

The Economic Elephant in the Room: Widening Inequality
Four years into a so-called recovery and we're still below pre-recession levels. The recovery isn't just losing steam. It never had much steam to begin with. That's because so much of our debate over economic policy has been beside the point
Austerity Leaves Us Crying '96 Tears'
Harvard economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff wrote an economic paper that made champions of austerity happy. They did not discourage the austerians and basked in their global celebrity. Until a team of economists exposed their work as a sloppy scholarly fraud
Why There's a Bull Market for Investors and a Bear Market for Workers
American workers remain in a bear market. The percent of working-age Americans holding jobs is the lowest it's been in decades. Wages, meanwhile, continue to fall behind inflation. Yet investors are experiencing one of the most bullish markets in recent memory
The Minimum Wage and The Meaning of a Decent Society
The proposed increase puts more money into the hands of families that desperately need it, allowing them to buy a bit more and thereby keep others working. A decent society should do no less. Some conservatives say decency has nothing to do with it
The Hoax of Austerity Economics
We are in the most anemic recovery in modern history. The president talks about boosting the economy and rebuilding the middle class, but Washington isn't doing squat. Apart from the Fed, the government is heading in exactly the wrong direction
Time to Break Up the Biggest Wall Street Banks
The biggest Wall Street banks are now far bigger than they were four years ago when they were considered too big to fail. The five largest have almost 44 percent of all U.S. bank deposits. A decade ago they had just 28 percent
The Crisis of the Middle Class and American Power
United States power is threatened by the decline of the middle class and the potential creation of two Americas without a common interest
Why We Must Stop Obsessing About the Budget Deficit
I wish President Obama would explain to the nation that the federal budget deficit isn't the nation's major economic problem and deficit reduction shouldn't be our major goal. Our biggest problem is lack of good jobs and sufficient growth
Another Side of Economic Inequality
You've no doubt heard about our widening gap between the rich and the poor. But did you know that the gap between the rich and America’s middle class is growing almost as fast?
-
Capitalism is not facing any sort of crisis, but rather is just being subverted by socialists, Wall Street con artists and various anti-capitalist wishful thinkers who are corrupting the once-straightforward relationship between work and benefit
What's a fair interest rate to pay on a loan? If you think 300 percent is no big deal, you can stop reading. But if you'd be outraged to learn that some of the biggest banks charge exorbitant interest on their most vulnerable customers, you might want to read on
The Contest Over Defining Our Biggest Economic Problem
The biggest problems we face are unemployment, stagnant wages, slow growth and widening inequality -- not deficits. The major goal must be to get jobs and wages back, not balance the budget
Not even the very wealthy can continue to succeed without a broader-based prosperity. That's because 70 percent of economic activity in America is consumer spending. When most Americans are becoming poorer, they're less able to spend
Raising the Minimum Wage Would Boost Economy
Critics claim that raising the minimum wage always results in job losses, but recent research doesn't bear that out. Modestly raising the federal minimum wage creates jobs by getting money to families who would spend it and stimulate the economy
The Hoax of 'Entitlement Reform'
It has become accepted American economic wisdom that the only way to get control over America's looming budget deficits is to 'reform entitlements.' This accepted wisdom is wrong
Grow the Economy by Growing the Debate About It
Whether or not we go over the fiscal cliff, around the fiscal curve, or down the fiscal slope remains to be seen but one thing is already certain: Our political debate has already gone over the cliff
Christmas-Shopping Season Highlights Plight of Retail Workers
We're officially into Christmas buying season -- when consumers determine the fate of retailers and, indirectly, the American economy. What's often forgotten is that consumers are also workers, and if their pay doesn't keep up, they can't keep the economy going

America's big-time CEOs are making 354 times the pay of average U.S. workers. In 1982, American CEOs averaged just 42 times more than average U.S. workers; in 1992, 201 times; and in 2012, 281 times. The overall trend line couldn't be clearer. How can we reverse it?
So far, the much-dreaded 'sequester' -- some $85 billion in federal spending cuts between March and September 30 -- hasn't been evident to most Americans. Take a closer look, though, and Americans are starting to feel the pain. They just don't know it yet
Half-Baked Economic Theories Continue to Direct Global Economy
I am not writing this to pile on two Harvard economists who put the Western world into economic mess. I am concerned about the policy professionals who accept such economic propositions even when they seem self-evidently too good to be true and defy common sense
As the economy twists downward for most of us -- as the politics of money tightens like a noose around everything we love -- I think about the disintegration of human values, which insane logic and the Republicans tells us we can no longer afford
Poverty Still America's Vicious Cycle
Why are some people stuck in poverty? Dr. Ruby Payne wants to let you in on the secret. With a Ph.D. in educational leadership, she writes prescriptions for addressing the scourge of poverty
Government Spending That Isn't Smart
Building roads and schools is a big reason why God created Democrats in the first place. And identifying the Next Big Thing -- and taking credit for it -- is something of a vocation for many liberal policymakers. But are these really the drivers of economic growth?
Report Highlights Economic Threat of Hacking
Officials say hackers pose a threat to the nation's economy and accuse China of carrying out the most cyber-attacks. Some estimates put the cost to the U.S. economy at tens of billions of dollars each year

Deborah Madison's 5 Inspired Essentials for Home Cooks
Deborah Madison is one of the most gifted and inspired cooks I know. Deborah has shared thousands of recipes and her honest, deeply flavored, vegetable-centric style with millions of readers. I asked her for five basic recommendations for home cooks
Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus, Ricotta, Lemon and Thyme
What fun it would be to come up with a light supper dish that uses both of these ingredients! I roasted the squash and the asparagus and combined them with ricotta and pine nuts for richness. I used lemon and thyme to add brightness and acidity
If you're not a huge red sauce fan, but do love pizza, this Farmer's White Pizza recipe is for you. A quick meal for two, this recipe can be doubled for a group. It pairs well with white wine; I chose Macon-Villages Chardonnay
Asparagus-Goat Cheese Souffles
Puffy and warm, these asparagus-goat cheese souffles are the essence of spring. Serve them alongside a big salad with a tangy vinaigrette for a light supper or a special brunch
I was first introduced to this simple, yet tasty, dish as a young girl in a Cantonese restaurant. I remember the flavor enhancers of the plain fried rice. Through the years, I have reinterpreted this dish for many a quick night supper
Ploughman's Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A grilled cheese sandwich is as American as American gets. But other countries have their favorite form of cheese sandwich. My version puts a twist on an English classic, the ploughman's lunch. It's a sandwich I enjoyed countless times while traveling in England
Italian Asparagus, Mushroom and Parmesan Frittata
Frittata is nothing more than eggs with vegetables, cheeses or meats cooked into it. Yet my grandmother's frittatas were always something special -- delicious, healthy and comforting. Here's how to make a great frittata in 5 easy steps
Here's a step-by-step guide to making lighter, healthier Oven-Baked Tortilla Chips at home. All told, this recipe takes about 15-20 minutes to assemble and bake
To feel your best -- with plenty of energy, a healthy weight and optimal mental and physical function -- you may need to make changes in your diet. With that in mind, here are the top, science-based nutrition habits you should foster to protect your health
-
Buttermilk Oatcakes with Raspberry Compote
These high-fiber oatcakes recipe is made with 100 percent whole grains and no butter. A quick raspberry compote is a nice change from maple syrup
Granola is Great in Moderation
Before you grab some granola, follow these guidelines to make sure it's a healthy part of your diet
Natalie's Lemon Cream Pie with Nilla Wafer Crust
This classic American Lemon Cream Pie dessert uses condensed milk, which when combined with citrus thickens and becomes the filling. I especially like the crispy vanilla cookie crust that envelops the silky, citrus custard filling
Carrot Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
My aunt happily shared the recipe with me a while back when I asked for it. She then went on to describe so many tweaks, adjustments and variations that I'm convinced this is now solely her own. In turn, I have made my own tweaks and adjustments
Cioppino: A Classic Taste of San Francisco
One of the iconic dishes of San Francisco is the seafood stew known as cioppino. In this version, all the flavorful vegetables, herbs, spices are there. But, I've bumped up the usual ratio of vegetables to seafood, so the result is lower in calories
This salad is a great way to put a new spin on asparagus. You'll be surprised by the taste of it raw; it's so fresh and crunchy. A simple vinaigrette is all you need to make the asparagus shine like it should. Try it as an appetizer or side dish
Triple Threat Loaded Baked Potato Soup
I dream about this kind of soup. It's completely decadent. What makes this Baked Potato Soup recipe a triple threat? Let's see, it has lots of ham, it's full of bacon and extra sharp cheddar cheese. It is the best dang soup you could ever imagine
Rack of Lamb Persillade is a favorite. Persillade is a mixture of bread crumbs, parsley and garlic moistened with olive oil. Patted onto the lamb and quickly browned under the broiler, the crumbs create a crisp, golden brown crust
Quinoa and Black Bean Salad with Citrus-Coriander Dressing
A quinoa and black bean salad makes an easy, wholesome lunch or a good side for supper. Gluten-free and vegetarian- and vegan-friendly, it's also an ideal dish to share at potlucks and other gatherings
Simple Green Salad with Citronette
Frisee and radicchio are both assertive, slightly bitter greens that add color and texture to any salad. Match them with mellower-flavored greens, such as red leaf lettuce, baby spinach or even Boston lettuce
Pork Chops with Peppers and Capers
This Pork Chops with Peppers and Capers recipe is in the style of the zingara or Gypsy. The name -- Cotolette alla Zingara -- must be because of the colorful components of this fiery, festive dish. It's the perfect weeknight meal
This pre-cooked ham is heated and glazed with complimentary mustard pineapple sauce. If your family enjoys ham for Easter dinner, they will certainly like this recipe and be thrilled to have plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week
-
This Cashew Tomato Soup recipe has hippie roots, but its rich and spicy creaminess makes it a favorite for modern palates as well. It's a quick and simple dish that can easily be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving
This Sesame Green Beans recipe takes the place of Asian-style noodles and does it well, with a crisp texture and a creamy dressing. I like to serve this recipe with lamb. It also makes a lovely salad for lunch along with grilled shrimp or chicken
Chicken with Creamy Braised Leeks
A touch of heavy cream, a few garlic cloves and thyme sprigs round out the flavor of tender braised leeks with chicken in this recipe. The rich, silky sauce is wonderful over whole-wheat egg noodles or mashed potatoes
These spicy and crunchy pecan-crusted chicken nuggets are paired with a quick, creamy ranch dip. If you can't find coarse breadcrumbs, substitute Grape-Nuts cereal instead
Pasta with Asparagus, Ricotta and Prosciutto
Orecchiette are just the right shape for this pasta resipe. You can also use penne, fusilli or bow-tie pasta. This creamy sauce, delicate yet packed with garlic and crushed red pepper essence, is sure to be a favorite for the most demanding pasta lover
Corzetti with Pesto: Ligurian Pasta Specialty
The beauty of pesto genovese is that it's a no-cook pasta sauce. Combine the basil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle. Add Pargmigiano-Reggiano and olive oil, and mix to your desired consistency
Key to Stress-Free Risotto: Know When to Leave it Alone
Risotto is not the high-maintenance dish it's made out to be. The anxiety surrounding the cult of risotto originates from one of the most common errors of a household cook: his inability to let things sit
Adapt the kale pesto recipe in spring with spinach, a mix of greens in summer and once fall and winter come around again try all those hearty greens like kale, chard, collards and rapin
Roasted Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash
By all means, play with the recipe. Butternut squash also loves sage. Just season squash with salt and pepper and add a handful of fresh chopped sage in the last few minutes of the cooking time. Or try fresh chopped rosemary or thyme
