The Independent Review
Summer 2023
The Summer 2023 issue ([link removed]) of The Independent Review is now available!

This issue features a six-part symposium ([link removed]) on the 50th anniversary of philosopher Gene Sharp’s The Politics of Nonviolent Action, his treatise on how peaceful means can be used to achieve social and political change. What is the legacy and contemporary relevance of Sharp’s work?

Also in this issue, a close examination ([link removed]) of Japanese production statistics during WWII ([link removed]) strongly suggest that U.S. war planners understood victory over Japan was inevitable. Were the atomic bombings even necessary to win the war?

Other articles: Conservatives’ cowardice on the health care issue ([link removed]) ; studying Adam Smith to understand why the West grew rich ([link removed]) ; How democracy has led to fiscal recklessness ([link removed]) ; and more ([link removed]) !
