Don't forget TNI also produces its own podcast, State of Power, where we introduce you to some of the fascinating people we work with to help you make sense of the world’s most complex challenges.
Check out our new episode: The Case for Apartheid Studies: In Conversation with Nyasha Mboti.
In the State of Power Podcast we are concerned with how power functions, how it mutates, and how it reproduces itself, and our guest on this episode deals explicitly with this. Nyasha Mboti is an Associate Professor at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein South Africa, and is the founder of a new field of study that he terms ‘Apartheid Studies’. He is soon to publish the first of four volumes outlining the scope of the new field. He graciously agreed when we asked him to sit with us and to explain what exactly Apartheid Studies is.

In this summary, Walden Bello distills the key ideas and data contained in Thomas Piketty’s monumental work Capital and Ideology. The French economist deserves to be read by more people, but many have neither the time nor energy to work through this sprawling 1,042-page classic. This short volume is motivated by the conviction that Piketty cannot be left to specialists in social stratification or to Marxologists, since he has many valuable insights into past and present societies that are useful in activist efforts at societal transformation.

In this article Howard Wachtel points out that discussions of the threat to liberal democracy have neglected the most surprising source: globalization.
