I ask only once a year: please help the Internet Archive today. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, so you can triple your impact! Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone reading this chips in just $5, we can end this fundraiser today. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a non-profit website the whole world depends on. We have only 150 staff but run one of the world’s top websites. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free online library for everyone. This is our day. Today. To bring the best, most trustworthy information to every internet reader. I believe all of this is doable, if we pull together to create the internet as it was meant to be. The Great Library for all. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, please chip in. Thank you.

Radio Open Source speaks with the historian Timothy Snyder - channeling his late friend and colleague, Tony Judt - on the shrinking of American social democracy, a.k.a. our historic national tradition of raising people to the middle class and then keeping them there. This is a call to action: what can we do to keep our public - and the values that we declare - open? Topics: podcast, interview, Chris Lydon, Radio Open Source, Tim Snyder, Tony Judt, social democracy,...
Radio Open Source talks with the "predictably irrational" behavioral economist uncovering - after a fashion - what makes us tick, what makes us do the silly and inspired things we do, and what makes us choose the 'least-bad' option in our lives. Does Ariely hold the key to understanding the quintessential American condition of narrowing choices in a - still - age of abundance? Topics: podcast, interview, Chris Lydon, Radio Open Source, social democracy, American politics, economics,...
As part of our ongoing series "How Fares the Land", Boston University Professor Andrew Bacevich leads us on just how the 'short American century' ended - not with a bang but with a fizzle of ideas and the overstretch of imperial hubris. It is a conversation that investigates our lost ideals and, possibly, how to reclaim them. Topics: podcast, interview, Chris Lydon, Radio Open Source, social democracy, American politics, Andrew...
We catch up with the media critic and guru Jay Rosen for our ongoing series on the degenerative decline of our American social democracy. Jay warns us of the fits and failures of the collective public voice to reason with and question the fabrications we confront. Topics: podcast, interview, Chris Lydon, Radio Open Source, social democracy, American politics, American...
Radio Open Source speaks with the MIT economist Daron Acemoglu. In his new book, "Why Nations Fail" (written in collaboration with James Robinson), Acemoglu identifies deep historical trends and the erosion of openness and inclusivity that originally made societies great and wonders (with us): Is the same thing going to happen to us? Topics: podcast, interview, Chris Lydon, Radio Open Source, social democracy, American politics, Daron...
