Many Americans believe that the United States is in decline. They see a country that has become unrecognizable: where individuals are reduced to their race, ethnicity, or sexual identity; where children are indoctrinated into radical ideologies; where anti-semitism has become widespread. This book explains how all of these ills are rooted in Marxism. To be sure, it is not Soviet Marxism, but a Marxism that was shaped by European intellectuals, adapted and refined by America’s student radicals of the 1960s, and diffused throughout the culture as those student radicals became professors, community organizers, and leaders. The end goal of these NextGen Marxists is expropriation, redistributio...
Katharine Cornell Gorka is Executive Director of the Westminster Institute, a think-tank based in McLean, Virginia. A specialist on post-dictatorial transition, she was the regional director of the National Forum Foundation for Central Europe and the Balkans and later director of the Institute for Transitional Democracy and International Security, based in Budapest, Hungary. The paper explores Hungary's steady economic decline in the twenty years since the fall of the communist system. It attributes this decline to an overall failure to disengage the government from a controlling role in the economy and in social welfare, and it examines the historical and contemporary factors that led to this failure.

One day in 1819, a twelve-year old boy named George Cornell left his family’s farm on Long Island and traveled to New York City to become an apprentice blacksmith. By the 1870s, the company he created, and that was carried on after him by his brothers, became the largest iron works in the United States. The J.B. & W.W. Cornell Iron Works, and later the J.B. & J.M. Cornell Iron Works, worked with the leading architects of their day to take New York’s buildings from four stories in the 1850s to thirty stories by 1899. Drawing on a wealth of sources from historic company archives and New York City architectural history, this book tells the story of Cornell Iron Works, from its origins and r...
Now a New York Times bestseller! America is at war. The fight against global jihad has cost 7,000 American lives and almost $2 trillion, and yet, most Americans do not understand what is at stake. The public lacks knowledge and safety because two presidents and their administrations neglected the most basic strategic question: who is the enemy? Presidents Bush and Obama both named the global jihadi movement—a movement with an intent to destroy the West—“violent extremism.” Their tidy term was an attempt to maintain peace with the Muslim community. But when they failed to appropriately name the enemy, they failed to fully understand Islamic extremism. This failure is why the U.S. has ...

For the better part of a century, the Left has been waging a slow, methodical battle for control of the institutions of Western civilization. During most of that time, “business”— and American Big Business, in particular — remained the last redoubt for those who believe in free people, free markets, and the criticality of private property. Over the past two decades, however, that has changed, and the Left has taken its long march to the last remaining non-Leftist institution. Over the course of the past two years or so, a small handful of politicians on the Right — Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, and Josh Hawley, to name three — have begun to sense that something is wrong with ...
