The Battlefield is Michigan

Everything has converged in this Midwestern state: socialists vs. the establishment, the debate over tariffs, and the battle for the political machinery that has shaped elections from 2020 to 2028. Michigan has long been considered a so-called “swing state” or “battleground state” on the American political map. The way voters cast their ballots here often […]

Integrity

Is it possible to be loyal to Trump and preserve one’s integrity? There’s been a lot of discussion this past week about the meaning of integrity. You didn’t hear the word used directly; it was alluded to indirectly — in wondering whether Lindsey Graham was an immoral opportunist or clever pragmatist; in suspecting Todd Blanche […]

A Childhood Filled with Ancient Mysteries

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, but when I was nine years old, my life changed dramatically. Up on the top shelf of a closet, I discovered a mysterious old book. Its pages were loose and worn, and its black-and-white illustrations beckoned me toward distant, enigmatic lands. It was King […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

The End of the Strikes: Why Trade Unions Must Become Professional Development Corporations

For a century and a half, the image of a trade union has been inextricably linked to that of struggle. Red flags, strikes, wage-indexation negotiations, and ironclad protection against layoffs. This toolkit was created for the industrial era, where humans operated machines. Today, this model is not only bursting at the seams — it is […]

A brief conversation on the way to breakfast. Someone I didn’t know approached me early this morning on my way to breakfast. He looked about 60 years old, with dark hair graying at the temples. He was dressed in a tie and jacket. He asked me if I was Robert Reich. I admitted to it. […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]
