Has populism won? Two experts show us how and why this disturbing global political trend has taken root and what it will take to turn the tide
From Trump's America to Putin's Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind.

For Pamela Cooper-White the path lies in balancing the pastoral and the prophetic. Though often...

A party girl with a broken heart gets pissed off at the teachings of church and society that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. The result?

After the staggering slaughter of back-to-back world wars, the West embraced the ideal of the "open society." The promise: By liberating ourselves from the old attachments to nation, clan, and religion that had fueled centuries of violence, we could build a prosperous world without borders, freed from dogmas and managed by experts.

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him.

Swamp rulers and warriors alike have set the tone for American politics virtually unchallenged for a generation; now, however, they are...
