From its roots in 17th-century Britain to its modern incarnation in Enron and WorldCom, the modern corporation restless, autonomous, and self-perpetuating has gained potency. Designed to seek profit and power, the corporation has pursued both objectives with endless tenacity, steadily bending the framework of the law and incurring destruction in its path. Where did the corporation come from? How did it get so much power? What is its ultimate trajectory? Considering the importance of such questions, it is surprisingly difficult to find answers. Using cutting-edge research from academic h

On campuses throughout the United States, thousands of professors study and teach the Middle East. They fill the pages of journals, the shelves of libraries, and the minds of students with their paradigms, theories, and predictions. In Middle East crises, the media seek their opinions. Their enterprise is deemed a national resource: the federal government subsidizes over a dozen academic centers devoted to the Middle East. Yet for the past twenty years, Middle Eastern studies in America have been factories of error. The academics, blinded by their own prejudices and enslaved to the fashions

On December 4, 2007, the RAND Corporation and the Center for Naval Analyses cohosted a conference at which members of the U.S. defense community discussed approaches to meeting the challenges of a demanding future security environment. Conferees broadly agreed on the list of security obligations that America faces, as well as future security issues likely to be problematic for any new administration, and discussed how the U.S. government and defense community should address these challenges. There was widespread agreement that the set of challenges the United States faces, coupled with the var

The First Measured Century looks at history through the rise of widespread, systematic data collection in the twentieth century-the first measured century-allowing us to examine the past one hundred years with unprecedented clarity. A specially commissioned feature of The First Measured Century is original 1999 research that builds on Robert and Helen Lynd’s landmark sociological study of the 1920s and the first city survey in America, "Middletown." Therefore, The First Measured Century offers the longest time line of consistent attitudinal data anywhere. The authors use the surve
