Professor Vittorio Valli will be in conversation with Professor Sanjay Reddy about his perspective on the evolution of the American economy since the end of the 19th century to the present and its implications for understanding the dilemmas facing the United States in the moment of Trump.
In his book, The American Economy from Roosevelt to Trump, Professor Valli offers a unifying interpretation of the transformation of the US economy from the end of the nineteenth century to the Trump administration. Valli maps three stages in this period of US economic history: first, the economic and demographic consequences of the frontier; second, the Fordist mass-production and consumption centered model of growth; and third, the attempt to build an economic empire through economic and financial globalization, military and political power and rapid technological progress. The economic policies of the Trump administration are interpreted as a response to a growing crisis within this ‘imperial’ phase of US economic history.
Examining pivotal moments from the Wall Street Crash and the World Wars to the recent Great Recession, Obamacare and Trump's electoral promises and first controversial decisions, this book is essential reading for all those interested in American economic power and its future.

Join us to celebrate the publication of The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons with award-winning illustrator and writer Bob Eckstein. Bob will be in conversation with New Yorker cartoonists Marisa Acocella, Robert Leighton and Barbara Smaller.
This exuberant collection of cartoons is an enthusiastic love letter to books and bookstores. The cartoons celebrate and critique the literary world through the work of thirty-three of the masters of cartoon art, including Sam Gross, Roz Chast, Arnie Levin, Danny Shanahan, Peter Steiner, Mick Stevens, Nick Downes, Liza Donnelly, Bob Mankoff, and Michael Maslin. Many of the cartoons have been published in the New Yorker, while others are published here for the first time.
Join us for the launch of The Body Papers with author Grace Talusan. The generosity of spirit and literary acuity of this debut memoir are a testament to the author’s determination and resilience. Talusan gives voice to unspeakable experience, and shines a light of hope into the darkness.
Ruth Reichl will be in conversation with Francis Lam to celebrate her new memoir, Save Me the Plums.
When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no?
This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat. Readers will meet legendary chefs like David Chang and Eric Ripert, idiosyncratic writers like David Foster Wallace, and a colorful group of editors and art directors who, under Reichl’s leadership, transformed stately Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This was the golden age of print media—the last spendthrift gasp before the Internet turned the magazine world upside down.
Complete with recipes, Save Me the Plums is a personal journey of a woman coming to terms with being in charge and making a mark, following a passion and holding on to her dreams—even when she ends up in a place she never expected to be.

A panel discussion with Mountain Lake Symposium founders and organizers, artist Ray Kass, art critic Donald Kuspit and Howard Risatti to discuss The Mountain Lake Symposium and Workshop: Arists in Locale.
Contemporary art, interdisciplinary research, traditional Appalachian culture, and advanced technology converge in The Mountain Lake Symposium and Workshop: Artists in Locale.Published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name, the book showcases the collaborative creative works that emerged from the Mountain Lake Symposium, a decade-long theoretical art criticism conference founded by artist Ray Kass in 1980 and co-organized with art critic Donald B. Kuspit and Howard Risatti. The Mountain Lake Workshop integrated the arts and sciences into a dynamic experimental creative process that expanded the traditional boundaries of visual art. Artists who have created works at the Mountain Lake Workshop include John Cage, Marie Cosindas, Merce Cunningham, James De La Vega, Howard Finster, Lynn Hull, Jessie and Sally Mann with Liz Liguori, Jackie Matisse, Jiro Okura, M. C. Richards, Dorothea Rockburne, Wayne Thiebaud, Cy Twombly, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and many others.
This book’s essays and extensive photographs serve as a critical reflection of the Mountain Lake Symposium’s history and impact, and of the ongoing collaborative Mountain Lake Workshops that continue to demonstrate the relevance of the arts across various disciplines.
