Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers

"Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers" by Arthur Brisbane is a compilation of early 1900s newspaper articles that digs into a bunch of subjects, like what makes people tick, problems going on in the world, big-picture questions, and right-from-wrong situations. The author kicks things off by pondering why people are drawn to taking risks and betting, using that idea to springboard into bigger discussions about why we do what we do, how society is set up, and what's considered morally okay. The book keeps this up by questioning everything from whether there's a higher power to whether people are generally good, and how our roles in society mess with how we act, pushing for knowledge, good behavior, and careful thinking in everything we do. Through stories and deep thoughts, Brisbane sets the stage for a journey into life through his writing.
