I'm a mixed circle person who reads political fundamentals and want to know about Trump's presidential promotion strategy? Please read the prophetic books featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist.

Since the 19th century, "populism" has never had a simple definition, and few politicians have described themselves as "populists."

Currently, human society is facing three major challenges: technological subversion, ecological collapse and nuclear war. The identity of "country" is no longer sufficient to meet today's challenges. No country can solve global problems independently. Artificial intelligence and biotechnology are subverting the original social structure and distribution methods, and data has become the most important resource. When data giants know themselves better than we do, and when "online" becomes a way of survival, how to regulate the ownership of data? Can a global community that upholds human freedom and equality be established? Artificial intelligence and biotechnology have given humans the ability to reshape and redesign life. How can we use this ability to stage a new drama? In a world where information is bombarded with information that is often useless, clarity is a power. For various issues related to the destiny of mankind, Yuval Harari did not give simple answers in "A Brief History of Today", but triggered us to think further.

From 1914 to 1945, the world experienced the catastrophes of two wars, and people have never been so eager for peace. From February 4 to February 11, 1945, when the dawn of peace began to emerge, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, together with their shrewd negotiators, held a secret meeting in Yalta. In just eight days, the three giants held chips of varying sizes, sometimes joining forces in pairs, sometimes betraying each other, sometimes being tough, sometimes compromising, swinging between ideas and reality, morality and interests, ideology and geopolitics. They want to end the war as soon as possible, they want to protect the interests of the victorious country, and they also want to curb the root causes of all wars, and all of this is at the expense of the interests of small countries. Poland, Germany, China... The post-war trajectories of many countries changed. At the end of the meeting, the participants were full of optimistic hope. They had achieved what they wanted, and believed that the compromise and understanding represented by the Yalta spirit would become the basis of post-war Allied relations. However, in 1947, the Iron Curtain fell and the Cold War began. Yalta became a symbol of missed opportunities for peace. Shahili Ploki, an expert on Eastern European history at Harvard University, wants to rectify the name of the Yalta Conference. He combed through declassified Soviet archives, government documents from various countries, participant memoirs and unpublished diaries to vividly illustrate this highly controversial and far-reaching meeting. He reconstructed the situation at that time, starting from the choices, calculations, interests, and ideas of the participants in the meeting, and proved that although Yalta was an important step on the road to a divided and dangerous world, it was by no means the cause of the Cold War.

This book is a popular history book written by Li Huaian. China's five thousand years of history is actually the history of men, or more accurately, the history created and dominated by men. Women just play the role of "soy sauce" and become irrelevant bystanders and passers-by in the historical process. Writing the history of China with such a bias actually only writes half of the history. This book changes the perspective and makes women the protagonists of history, allowing readers to realize the important role that women have played in the history of our country that men cannot replace, and restore women to their due status in the five thousand years of history of our country. Throughout ancient Chinese history, there have always been various prejudices against women, believing that women are "beautiful women". This book uses novel techniques to interpret history in the current context, trying to unearth the truth sunk in historical facts and restore the true role and status of women in the "other half of history" in the historical process.

Introduction to the content of "Chinese Culture and Chinese Soldiers (Collected Works of Lei Haizong)": The history of the Qin Dynasty has witnessed political and social evolution and changes in the past dynasties. The history from the Qin Dynasty down to the Qin Dynasty was quiet, with only chaos and turmoil, and no essential changes. Under a fixed environment, the cyclical political history was rehearsed scene by scene, and the same play was always performed over and over. It can be roughly said to be the cyclic development of Han history. The main characteristic of such a completely negative culture is that there are no real soldiers, which means there are no citizens, which means there is no political life. For simplicity, we can call it a "culture without soldiers."

This is a confession of life in a foreign land that explores acceptance in conflict and finds hope in despair. Lipika grew up in Bangladesh. Pellahan, with her British-Jewish husband Leo, moved into Jerusalem, a culturally rich and controversial sacred place. Facing the impact of the new environment, their marriage was once in jeopardy.

The rootless soul is trying to find a home. In the interaction between the inner world and the external environment, although it is blurry, it is still trying to outline an image of reconciliation and hope in this complicated city.

The imperial examination system was founded in 605 and was discontinued in 1905. It lasted for 1,300 years in Chinese history and is the longest-existing examination system in the world. Mr. Sun Yat-sen believed: "China's examination system is the oldest and best system used in all countries in the world to select true talents." Although rulers of the past dynasties have formulated various rules to prevent cheating and created a relatively fair competitive environment for the imperial examination, due to the extremely fierce competition in the imperial examination, only a handful of people can stand out. Once the imperial examination is passed, the scholar's life will undergo earth-shaking changes. Therefore, many candidates take desperate risks and cheat in various ways in order to realize their dream of being on the gold list as soon as possible. As the designers and implementers of the system, in order to maintain the fairness and justice of the imperial examinations, the rulers severely cracked down on those who cheated in the imperial examinations, and even went so far as to kill them. Therefore, a case of imperial examination fraud that was staged in Chinese history was truly thrilling.

Telling the history of human rights is not an easy task, which makes Lam Kok Wing's "Human Rights in History" a very valuable book. The author tells the history of human rights from the formation process of human rights rather than from the emergence and changes of the concept of human rights.

The historical responsibility of Chinese scholars today is to provide guiding ideology and theoretical foundation for the rejuvenation of China. We can see that since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese people have collectively fallen into a Eurocentric context and cannot extricate themselves. So we must re-examine world history. Capitalism, which has emerged over the past five hundred years, is actually a movement. It's just that this movement, accompanied by the industrial revolution and the specific progress of science, caused financial capital to expand into a force that swept the world, almost colonizing and dominating the world. China has also been seriously hurt. Fortunately, the damage from the outside has generated a huge rebound force within Chinese society. This force has reversed the downward trajectory of Chinese society and put China back on the track of recovery.

This book is an influential monograph by the late Mary Rui, a professor at Yale University in the United States. It describes in detail the various efforts and measures implemented by central and local officials of the late Qing government to "Tongzhi Zhongxing" (1862-1874) and save the corrupt Qing Dynasty, including military, political, economic, cultural, educational, and diplomatic aspects.

In post-war Europe, people's reflection on the social and cultural crisis has two orientations: one is represented by Marxism, advocating proletarian social revolution; the other is reflection on modernity, which is concentrated in the rise of irrationalism, criticizing the constraints of reason on human nature, and instead emphasizing human emotions, will and beliefs.

The author of this book is familiar with the anecdotes of historical figures, ranging from emperors to civil servants, military generals, and ordinary people. From the individual's careful independence to the social system, he can write it with just a pen. In the midst of laughter and curses, the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles of the old society and social conditions are vividly displayed on the page. Between the lines of ridiculing the "stubbornness" of the ancients, there are also jokes about the words of the sages and their words of persuasion. Don't say that today's bureaucratic approach of persuading people to do good and educating people through words of ambition and teaching is too outdated and obliterates the modern significance of scholars' advancement of virtue and promotion of virtue; let alone using the word "old" to reduce the virtues and principles preached by the ancients into a target that hinders the liberation of individuality and the progress of modern civilization. The author transforms his concern for the world into articles of admiration for the ancient times and words of laughter and scolding, which contain deep feelings.

This period of the Northern Dynasties went from a unified regime through division and then to unification, which has certain academic value.

It deeply explores the interactive relationship between the Southern Confucius Sect and the social and cultural evolution of southwestern Zhejiang. This reveals the spiritual connotation and cultural value of Kong's Southern Sect.

Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Ancestors, all these romantic heroes are "all gone". However, the merits and demerits and political wisdom they left to future generations have disappeared with the passage of time and the change of dynasties. On the contrary, it is with the passage of time and the change of dynasties that we are more impressed by the wisdom and strategies revealed by some of the incisive remarks of these emperors, generals and ministers. As the supreme ruler of a country, as the emperor, generals and ministers, they have the responsibility and obligation to maintain social order and maintain the stability of the country.
