Yin Xin Tang
In this first part of three, Master Jung and his Disciple Marbella introduce key concepts of mind training. Yin Xin Tang (YXT) is an ancient martial art from the Shaolin Temple that is resurfacing with relevance to our modern issues on societal and individual levels. If you've ever felt limited by the constraints of your mind, YXT offers mental exercises and reflections to remedy those feelings of purposelessness, identity crisis, and overall restlessness with daily existence. Here they share in-depth and rare teachings about types of meditation, offer insight into cultural origins, as well as give practical advice on how to apply it, reveal secrets, and allow you into the minds of masters of the martial arts themselves. Never before has there been a more accessible compilation of Eastern knowledge in the English-speaking world. YXT is expected to emerge into the mainstream of philosophical disciplines in the coming generations, alongside the likes of Yoga, Tai Chi, or Stoicism.

Macroeconomic Research in Low-income Countries
Despite strong economic growth since 2000, many low-income countries (LICs) still face numerous macroeconomic challenges, even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the deceleration in real GDP growth during the 2008 global financial crisis, LICs on average saw 4.5 percent of real GDP growth during 2000 to 2014, making progress in economic convergence toward higher-income countries. However, the commodity price collapse in 2014–15 hit many commodity-exporting LICs and highlighted their vulnerabilities due to the limited extent of economic diversification. Furthermore, LICs are currently facing a crisis like no other—COVID-19, which requires careful policymaking to save lives and livelihoods in LICs, informed by policy debate and thoughtful research tailored to the COVID-19 situation. There are also other challenges beyond COVID-19, such as climate change, high levels of public debt burdens, and persistent structural issues.
The Upright Brush
In the history of Chinese calligraphy, few are more famous than the eighth-century statesman Yan Zhenqing (709-785). His style is still taught today as a standard, and Chinese bookstores the world over stock inexpensive reproductions of his works for sale as copybooks. Yet Yan's style cannot be called conventionally attractive. "Correct," "severe," "serious," "forceful" are terms habitually applied to describe his writing--rarely has his calligraphy been called graceful or beautiful. How, then, did Yan earn such an eminent place in the history of art? In The Upright Brush, Amy McNair argues for the political rather than purely aesthetic basis for Yan Zhenqing's artistic reputation. She shows...
