The cover package is breathtaking in its scope. Twenty-one leading thinkers—from Garry Kasparov to Christopher Hitchens to Joseph Nye—each offer the one idea they think could make the planet a better place. Be it tweaking patent law, bolstering Catholic-Muslim understanding, getting vitamins to the poor, raising taxes, or mobilizing the private sector, there is something here to challenge the complacency of even the most hardened pessimist.

Joshua Kurlantzick trains his eye on the global gambling industry and discovers that what happens in Vegas definitely doesn’t stay there. A stunning photo essay, Inside the Digital Dump, should change the way you look at your old broken computer in the garage for good.
