The Civic Bargain
A powerful case for democracy and how it can adapt and survive—if we want it toIs democracy in trouble, perhaps even dying? Pundits say so, and polls show that most Americans believe that their country’s system of governance is being “tested” or is “under attack.” But is the future of democracy necessarily so dire? In The Civic Bargain, Brook Manville and Josiah Ober push back against the prevailing pessimism about the fate of democracy around the world. Instead of an epitaph for democracy, they offer a guide for democratic renewal, calling on citizens to recommit to a “civic bargain” with one another to guarantee civic rights of freedom, equality, and dignity. That bargain also requires them to fulfill the duties of democratic citizenship: governing themselves with no “boss” except one another, embracing compromise, treating each other as civic friends, and investing in civic education for each rising generation. Manville and Ober trace the long progression toward self-government through four key moments in democracy’s history: Classical Athens, Republican Rome, Great Britain’s constitutional monarchy, and America’s founding. Comparing what worked and what failed in each case, they draw out lessons for how modern democracies can survive and thrive. Manville and Ober show that democracy isn’t about getting everything we want; it’s about agreeing on a shared framework for pursuing our often conflicting aims. Crucially, citizens need to be able to compromise, and must not treat one another as political enemies. And we must accept imperfection; democracy is never finished but evolves and renews itself continually. As long as the civic bargain is maintained—through deliberation, bargaining, and compromise—democracy will live.

Confidence Men
Why do millions of Americans support a system that is making them poorer, sicker, and lesssecure every day? If modern capitalism routinely exploits working people, then why do so manyflock to its most reactionary defenders in personalities like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, andAndrew Tate? Or, as the philosopher Baruch Spinoza asked, why do we fight for slavery as if itwere our salvation? Confidence Men: The Duping of the American Mind provides a compellinganswer to those questions. Mere journalistic accounts of these hucksters have pointed out their many lies and inaccuracies,their personal failings and rank hypocrisy. Confidence Men does something different. Instead oftreating these sensational figures as individual bad actors, it identifies a common philosophythat animates them all. Each of them are, in their own ways, irrationalists – believing in thepower of a strong will to overcome ordinary reality (and ordinary people). Objective facts,nature, and even “human nature” melt away before the creative genius or the mystical hero. Today’s “confidence men” are the cheerleaders of hierarchy and domination, where thesupreme value is one of unhinged belief in oneself. As against reactionary forms of self-help,Confidence Men proposes a rationalist alternative – neither wishing our problems away, nor“manifesting” success – but instead, understanding the world so that we can change it for thebetter.

The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.

No Confidence
How to reckon with no-confidence votes and rebuild trust in higher ed leadership. Faculty votes of no confidence in college presidents have become a defining feature of leadership turmoil in American higher education. Often dismissed as merely symbolic, these votes can nonetheless mark a turning point in campus governance—and frequently signal the end of a presidency. In No Confidence, Michael T. Nietzel and Charles M. Ambrose present the first comprehensive analysis of this dramatic and increasingly visible phenomenon. This book examines the origins, causes, and consequences of no-confidence votes, placing them in the wider context of higher education's evolving governance structures. Nietzel and Ambrose explain why these votes have increased in frequency, especially in the wake of financial crises, political pressures, and a rapidly shifting academic workforce. What happens after such votes are cast—who resigns, who survives, and what do these outcomes mean for the institutions involved? Through detailed case studies and critical insights, No Confidence reveals how diminishing shared governance, declining faculty influence, and rising tensions between academic and corporate management styles have created fertile ground for conflict. To prevent and repair campus conflict, Nietzel and Ambrose recommend focusing on improving trust, transparency, and collaboration among presidents, governing boards, and faculty. These essential actions, they argue, can help maintain institutional stability in an increasingly volatile higher education landscape.
