The Intelligence from The Economist - Felling through the cracks: rainforests in crisis

The economics are clear-cut: the benefits of preserving the lungs of the world vastly outweigh those of felling trees. We travel to the Amazon and find that the problem is largely down to lawlessness in the world’s rainforests. And reflecting on the life of Oe Kenzaburo, a Japanese writer shaped by family crisis who gave voice to the voiceless.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Cuban Missile Crisis

In October 1962, a U-2 spy plane discovered Soviet nuclear missile sites in Cuba. 

The subsequent 13 days were some of the tensest in human history. 

The United States and the Soviet Union came closer to nuclear war than at any point in the cold war. 

It was only a last-minute cooling of tensions that prevented an all-out war.

Learn more about the Cuban Missile Crisis and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Opening Arguments - OA709: The Law of “March Madness!”

Today, Liz and Andrew take a break from the world of politics (except for Patrons) to bring you the history and law surrounding "March Madness," including whether it was legal to fill out your bracket and how the NCAA approaches its trademarks. Along the way, we'll learn how the current right-wing Supreme Court is going to use a gambling decision to further its activist agenda. If you like basketball -- and even if you don't! -- you won't want to miss it!

The Patreon bonus is all about Jenna Ellis and Trump's legal team, and Liz brings the funny.

NBN Book of the Day - Bleddyn E. Bowen, “Original Sin: Power, Technology and War in Outer Space” (Oxford UP, 2022)

Space technology was developed to enhance the killing power of the state. The Moon landings and the launch of the Space Shuttle were mere sideshows, drawing public attention away from the real goal: military and economic control of space as a source of power on Earth.

Today, as Bleddyn E. Bowen vividly recounts in Original Sin: Power, Technology and War in Outer Space (Oxford UP, 2022), thousands of satellites work silently in the background to provide essential military, intelligence and economic capabilities. No major power can do without them. Beyond Washington, Moscow and Beijing, truly global technologies have evolved, from the ground floor of the nuclear missile revolution to today's orbital battlefield, shaping the wars to come. World powers including India, Japan and Europe are fully realizing the strategic benefits of commanding Earth's 'cosmic coastline', as a stage for war, development and prestige.

Yet, as new contenders spend more and more on outer space, there is scope for cautious optimism about the future of the Space Age-if we can recognize, rather than hide, its original sin.

Bleddyn E. Bowen is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Leicester, specializing in space policy and military uses of outer space. The internationally recognized author of War in Space, he consults on space policy for institutions including the UK Parliament, the European Space Agency, and the Pentagon.

Sam Canter is a policy and strategy analyst, PhD candidate, and Army Reserve intelligence officer. His views are his own and do not reflect any institution, organization, or entity with which he is affiliated.

What A Day - Banking On Each Other

Eleven of the largest U.S. lenders agreed to deposit $30 billion into First Republic Bank in an effort to rescue it. The move was also meant to stop the ongoing panic in the financial world, following the failure of three smaller banks this past week.

Starting next Tuesday, tens of thousands of Los Angeles Unified School District service workers plan to walk off the job for three days. Members of the district’s teacher’s union are also joining the strike in solidarity, shutting down schools across the country’s second-largest school district.

And in headlines: Poland will send four fighter jets to Ukraine, a new CDC report found that America’s maternal mortality rate spiked in 2021, and the Senate confirmed former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti as the next U.S. ambassador to India.
