Age of Greed
WPI Senior Fellow Jeff Madrick describes the history of how greed has bred America’s economic ills over the last forty years, and of the men most responsible for them. He recounts the single-minded pursuit of huge personal wealth that has been on the rise in the United States since the 1970s, led by a few individuals who have argued that self-interest guides society more effectively than community concerns.
World Policy Journal Writer's Guidlines - World Policy Institute
| WORLD POLICY JOURNAL
World Policy Journal, celebrating its 25th anniversary in Fall 2008, is the flagship publication of the World Policy Institute. The Journal’s pages are filled with articles written in a lively, non-academic style, coming from strong points of view that transcend the traditional foreign-versus-domestic policy divide, reflecting WPI's "world" perspective. WPJ's progressive, global outlook challenges conventional wisdom. It is distinguished by its allergy to dogma and willingness to include a range of voices chosen for the quality of their ideas and analysis, regardless of their writers' pedigrees. It runs policy articles that present a well-supported argument and offer provocative policy recommendations; essays that consider (and reconsider) such issues as geo-political and economic change, global security (broadly defined), immigration, exile, and ethnicity; articles that provide insight into a historical era, event, or person; and articles that illuminate cultural change and cross-cultural influences; profiles that comment on the political or cultural context of which the subject is a part; book reviews; and reportage from regions or on subjects not widely covered in the general media. WPJ's pages have a reputation for generating high-quality, high-impact books, such as Ahmed Rashid's Jihad, Rajan Menon's End of Alliances, Brian Steidle's The Devil Came on Horseback, and of course the many books by WPI fellows and WPJ editors. Its audience includes senior policy makers, members of the media, scholars, and other opinion leaders. In 2001, Roll Call recognized World Policy Journal as the publication cited most often in the Congressional Record.
