The colonies are all tightly controlled by an authoritarian “committee” reminiscent of Stalinist or Maoist regimes. The story takes place in a rather threadbare “empire” that consists of four town-sized colonies. It is an entertaining and provocative look at the importance of words and how language can shape reality. I just finished a dark and chilly example of the genre, Karin Tidbeck’s Amatka, which was published in Sweden four years ago and has just been translated into English by its author. Maybe it’s the uncertainty of our age and our ambivalence about technology -the way it both eases and controls our lives- but dystopian fiction seems to be very in vogue right now.

5/24/2023 0 Comments The deficit myth stephanie keltonIn Kelton’s book, “The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People’s Economy,” she asks what is the best way to balance the risk of inflation against the benefits of a society that is more broadly prosperous, safer, cleaner, and secure? According to Kelton, deficits can help us fight a myriad of problems from inequality, climate change and other things, but this can’t be done until we properly grasp what a deficit actually is. Kelton joined Sarah Kaplan on a GATE hosted livestream event to discuss which deficits actually matter. Everything that both liberal/progressives and conservatives believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending in the economy is wrong, especially the fear that deficits will endanger long-term prosperity. Stephanie Kelton, Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Bloomberg Contributing Columnist, argues that we have been thinking about government spending in the wrong ways, on both sides of the political aisle.

Ramsay to the beautiful, energetic, but perhaps narrow-minded Mrs. The portrait revolves around the marriage of the depressive and anxious philosopher Mr. Out of this minor incident, Woolf creates a brilliant portrait of family relations in a long-ago era, ostensibly a few years before the war but really the mid-Victorian world of Woolf’s childhood. Ramsay, however, insists that the weather the next day will be too bad for a trip by boat to the lighthouse. Ramsay is knitting a stocking for the lighthouse keeper’s son. James, the youngest, wants to go to the lighthouse, and Mrs. Ramsay, a philosophy professor, his wife, and their eight children. The first section of Woolf’s novel, “The Window,” is set before the war, at the vacation house in the Hebrides of Mr. Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, To the Lighthouse ( 1927), presents the war in a broader historical perspective than her first two novels, thus serving the function of elegy by coming to terms with the war, but also contributing its share to what the critic Samuel Hynes has called the “Myth of the War” ”-“the notion, partly true and partly imagined, that the war created a vast gap between the pre-war and the post-war world.” His is a tale of an exemplary life dedicated to learning, spiritual cultivation, and the service of others from one of the greatest living masters of Tibetan Buddhism.īorn in the Tsang region of Tibet in 1923, Geshe Lhundub Sopa is both a spiritual master and a respected academic. In Like a Waking Dream, Geshe Sopa frankly and observantly reflects on how his life in Tibet - a monastic life of yogic simplicity - shaped and prepared him for the unexpected. But prior to his thirty-year career in the first ever academic Buddhist studies program in the United States - a position in which he oversaw the training of many among the seminal generation of American Buddhist studies scholars - Geshe Sopa was the son of peasant farmers, a novice monk in a rural monastery, a virtuoso scholar-monk at one of the prestigious central monasteries in Lhasa, and a survivor of the Tibetan uprising and perilous flight into exile in 1959. He has striven to preserve Tibetan religious culture through tireless work as a professor and religious figure, establishing a functioning Buddhist monastery in the West, organizing the Dalai Lama's visits to the U.S., and offering countless teachings across the country. Among the generation of elder Tibetan lamas who brought Tibetan Buddhism west in the latter half of the twentieth century, perhaps none has had a greater impact on the academic study of Buddhism than Geshe Lhundub Sopa. |
