Transcending the Game
A pathway to community, growth, and change This collection of inclusive essays explores the role of debate in understanding and critiquing injustice and inequality. Edited by Shawn F. Briscoe, these essays closely examine multiple approaches to debate, considering their respective merits and controversies. This detailed compilation analyzes how debate methodologies are useful in everyday life and whether certain approaches have any value at all. Briscoe provides an in-depth look into the varying styles of debate and contributes to a greater understanding of argument theory by discussing three stylistic approaches: audience-centered, technical/progressive, and nontraditional/performative. The...
Taxation
This engaging and accessible book is a must-read for every taxpayer, young and old. It explores the many forms of taxation; how taxes are created, collected, and spent; and why certain aspects of taxation are so controversial. "In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin wrote this now-famous quote more than 200 years ago, and taxation remains just as important (and inevitable) today as then. Taxes are a fact of life for almost everyone, and the public goods and services they pay for are enjoyed by all citizens. While taxes are undeniably necessary, the specifics of what should be taxed, who should pay taxes, and at what rate remain hotly deba...
貿易戰就是階級戰：日益惡化的階級不平等，如何導致全球經濟失衡、引發國際衝突
★ 榮獲2021年蓋爾伯獎（Lionel Gelber Prize）★ 貿易戰的問題根源不是地緣政治，也絕非國家體制之爭 各國內部不同階級之間的衝突，才是加劇各國貿易失衡的病灶！ 貿易戰常被認為是國與國之間無法避免的衝突，必須爭奪你死我活，因為各國的國家利益必定無法調節。然而，本書兩位作者挑戰主流國際貿易的論點，直指「貿易戰」背後掩蓋著過去三十年來日益不平等的階級戰——貿易衝突其實是各個國家內部政治決策所產生的非預期後果，被犧牲的往往是各地的一般勞工與退休者，富豪與權貴階級則因此受惠。本書除了提供...
Les guerres commerciales sont des guerres de classes
On considère le plus souvent les guerres commerciales comme le résultat d'un leadership atavique ou d'intérêts économiques opposés d'États-nations concurrents. Or elles sont plutôt les symptômes malins et inattendus de choix politiques nationaux qui ont avantagé les élites au détriment des autres et creusé les inégalités. En dressant le panorama des principaux changements survenus dans l'économie mondiale au cours des dernières décennies, les auteurs démontrent que les guerres commerciales actuelles sont le fruit des décisions prises par les politiciens et les chefs d'entreprise en Chine, en Europe et aux États-Unis au cours des trente dernières années. Véritable défi lancé à la pensée dominante, une lecture essentielle et iconoclaste pour comprendre la politique internationale, les inégalités et l'avenir du système monétaire mondial.
Las guerras comerciales son guerras de clases
Las disputas comerciales suelen entenderse como conflictos entre países con intereses nacionales contrapuestos, pero como demuestran Matthew C. Klein y Michael Pettis, a menudo son el resultado inesperado de decisiones políticas internas para servir a los intereses de los ricos a costa de los trabajadores y los jubilados de a pie. Klein y Pettis rastrean los orígenes de las actuales guerras comerciales en las decisiones tomadas por los políticos y los líderes empresariales de China, Europa y Estados Unidos en los últimos treinta años. En todo el mundo, los ricos han prosperado mientras los trabajadores ya no pueden permitirse comprar lo que producen, han perdido sus puestos de trabajo o se han visto obligados a endeudarse más. En este desafío a la corriente dominante que invita a la reflexión, los autores ofrecen una narración coherente que muestra cómo las guerras de clases de la creciente desigualdad son una amenaza para la economía mundial y la paz internacional, y lo que podemos hacer al respecto.
Why Debate
In Why Debate: Transformed by Academic Discourse, Shawn F. Briscoe and a diverse group of individuals introduce readers to academic, competitive debate in our secondary schools and institutions of higher learning.Over the course of twenty chapters, eighteen authors address the role of academic debate on educational development, interpersonal relationships, career and professional lives, and society. Misunderstood or unknown by outsiders, academic debate has far reaching impacts upon our world. This collection of essays, highlights the significance the activity has, not just on those who engage in it, but upon people everywhere. Competitive debate serves as a foundation for growth as students learn to navigate through society, form relationships, and develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. Those who participate in the activity develop skills and dispositions that help them succeed in their chosen professions. Ultimately, debate makes us aware of what needs changed in the world; and it gives us the ability to effect meaningful change.

Special Educational Needs and Inclusive Practices
"Today, school is becoming a rapidly changing learning environment. Thinking about students as a homogeneous population is no longer allowed, as diversity – in terms of culture, language, gender, family organisation, learning styles and so on – has emerged as a key challenge for education today.The debate on Special Educational Needs largely reflects this challenge, as working in school implies careful reconsideration of what we mean by “normal” and “special”. Current educational intervention is generally based on a deficit and “within-child” model of facing SEN, whereas very little attention is given to the role of learning environments. The focus is on the child more than o...
