To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics. John J.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills.

Francois-Dominique Toussaint L’Ouverture (1743-1803) emerged as a pivotal figure in 1791 during the Haitian struggle for independence. Leading thousands of enslaved individuals on the island of Hispañola, he bravely challenged the colonial European powers of France, Spain, and England. His efforts ultimately led to the establishment of Haiti as an independent state, liberating the island from European control. L’Ouverture rose to prominence as the governor and Commander-In-Chief of Haiti, although he later recognized French authority in 1801. In June 1802, he was captured by ...
