Everything Everywhere Daily - Lithium

With an atomic number of three, Lithium is the third lightest element and the lightest solid at room temperature and pressure. 

For almost two centuries after its discovery, Lithium didn’t have much in the way of practical uses. However, in the last few decades, its status changed, and it went from one of the least useful elements to one of the most important to the world’s economy. 

Lithium is also the source of one of the biggest unexplained problems in physics.

Learn more about Lithium, one of the oddest elements on the periodic table, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Roselyn Hsueh, “Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism” (Cambridge UP, 2022)

Roselyn Hsueh’s Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism (Cambridge, 2022) presents a new framework for understanding how developing countries integrate into the global economy. Examining the labor-intensive textile sector and the capital-intensive telecommunications sector in China, India, and Russia, Hsueh shows how differences in the way elites perceive the strategic value of a sector can lead to dramatically different patterns of governance.

Author Roselyn Hsueh is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Temple University, where she co-directs the Certificate in Political Economy. She is also the author of China’s Regulatory State: A New Strategy for Globalization and scholarly articles and book chapters on states and markets, comparative regulation and governance, and development and globalization. She is a frequent commentator on international politics, finance and trade, and comparative economic development. BBC World News, The Economist, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, and other media outlets have featured her research. She earned her B.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

Host Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of San Francisco. His own research focus is the political economy of governance in China.

What A Day - Trump Gets Merrick-Rolled

Attorney General Merrick Garland made an unexpected announcement yesterday to address the FBI search for confidential documents at Donald Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago. The Washington Post reports some of those documents involve nuclear weapons. Because of increasing online and in-person threats to FBI officials, Garland went to great lengths to emphasize that the search was in the public interest and not politically motivated.

The House is expected to vote on the Inflation Reduction Act today. It includes the largest burst of spending in U.S. history to specifically tackle climate change. And a new report backs up that action is needed now. It says warming of the Arctic is happening much faster than previously described.

And in headlines: the CDC says you no longer have to quarantine after COVID exposure, Disney+ will debut an ad-supported option, and there’s a new dating app for right-wingers.

The Daily Signal - Rapper Zuby Urges Young to Stay Positive Because America Worth Saving

When you turn on the TV these days, you're bombarded with negative stories and talking heads claiming America is a no-good, very bad place. It can be hard to grow up in an environment where it seems like everyone thinks America's best days are behind her.

Many young Americans believe such dark prognostications about the evil of America, and are convinced that their country is a lost cause.

But rapper, podcaster, and life coach Zuby disagrees.

"You should be hopeful, because what is the alternative?" Zuby asks. "The alternative is being pessimistic and negative and black-pilled, and that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don't think you can win the game, why would you even play?"

He adds: "If you live in the Western world, you're American, you're British, you're Canadian, and you exist in this time period, in 2022, you have it immediately, off the bat, better off than at least 90% of people who have ever walked the face of this planet."

Zuby joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss why it's so important to remain hopeful about the nation's future.

We also cover these stories:

  • Food prices surge even as gasoline prices fall at the pump.
  • FBI Director Christopher Wray condemns threats made against him and other law enforcement officers on social media.
  • Twitter introduces new moderation policies designed to combat so-called misinformation on the social media platform before the midterm elections in November.
