Human beings think, speak, and write in metaphors. Those metaphors change as cultures do; people use them to respond to and reshape the world. Indeed, neuroscientists and literary scholars alike have explored how we build the world with metaphors and other figurative language. The present era is undergoing a massive metaphorical transformation, as computer technology […]

Each time our small ship met a big wave, a few plates and glasses crashed to the deck. We were in a storm on the North Atlantic Ocean, on a voyage from the United States to Europe. You need not fear the ocean, but you must respect it. If you are careless or just unlucky, […]

For decades, behavioural economics has transformed how we think about human decision-making. It showed that people are not the cold, hyper-rational optimisers imagined by classical economics. We rely on heuristics. We fear losses more than we value equivalent gains, we overvalue our own properties, we discount future rewards more than we should. And we have […]

We live in an age of grand challenges, from climate change and the digitalisation of markets to rising inequality. Yet legal systems struggle to respond effectively, constrained by entrenched disciplinary boundaries. Law and regulation, public and private law, and European Union (EU) law and national law often operate in separate silos, limiting meaningful dialogue. My […]

As we live through the transformation of the post-Cold War international order, politicians, diplomats, and scholars have fastened upon the pre-First World War era as a guide to what might emerge in its place. They portray a world, then and now, beset by rivalries between rising and falling powers, wars of territorial conquest, spheres of […]

At the height of its expansion, the Tang (618-907) stretched from Tajikistan to Manchuria. The breakup of this empire was a cataclysmic event with wide repercussions in China and beyond. To chart the Tang’s decline and fall, my new book adopts the perspective of Gao Pian (821-87), an illustrious general, military governor of large swaths […]
