"A provocative and urgent analysis of the U.S.-China rivalry. It has become conventional wisdom that America and China are running a "superpower marathon" that may last a century. Yet Hal Brands and Michael Beckley pose a counterintuitive question: What if the sharpest phase of that competition is more like a decade-long sprint?

"Today's conservatives know what they're against. They're anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? [The author believes that] the fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left's vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or...
