TL;DR: The history of China, its social forces and tendencies, and the character of its people, was originally published in 1922, following the author's return from a year as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing.
Abstract: This study of the history of China, its social forces and tendencies, and the character of its people, was originally published in 1922, following the author's return from a year as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing. Although much has happened in the intervening years, the book is still of great value and interest for all concerned with an understanding of China and her future among the major nations. It contains much significant historical analysis still relevant today, as well as some extraordinarily far-sighted observations.

TL;DR: A brief review of the key proponents, debates, and controversies involved in applying psychological science and knowledge to complex societal problems is provided.
Abstract: Much of psychological science and knowledge is significantly relevant to social justice, defined here as the goal to decrease human suffering and to promote human values of equality and justice. A commitment to social justice has evolved as a more important value in the last few decades for psychology, including for the American Psychological Association (APA). The mission, vision, goals, Ethics Code, and strategic plan of APA all provide a rationale for psychologists' involvement in systematic and visible ways of applying our knowledge to social issues. Although psychology has not been immune to the application of psychological knowledge in destructive ways, overall, psychology, many psychologists, and APA have demonstrated a commitment to social justice. This article provides a brief review of the key proponents, debates, and controversies involved in applying psychological science and knowledge to complex societal problems. Psychologists often find themselves in conflict and honest disagreement when the association addresses complex and controversial issues. An important goal is that we continue to find ways to agree or disagree in a respectful manner regardless of where each of us stands on the various positions that APA takes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a better understanding of triadic business models and how they create value for their three categories of stakeholders, i.e., the suppliers, the platform firm and the buyers.
Abstract: Building on the multi-divisional business model (M-model), the purpose of this paper is to develop a better understanding of triadic business models – T-models – and how they create value for their three categories of stakeholders, ie, the suppliers, the platform firm and the buyers The research question that guides the present study is twofold: How is value created individually and collectively in triadic business models and what might challenge their sustainability?,Anchored in extant literature and a process of conceptual modeling with empirical examples from Uber, a new business model archetype was developed for two-sided markets mediated by a middleman,The paper provides a theoretically and conceptually derived roadmap for sustainable business in a triadic business model, ie, for the buyers, sellers and the platform firm This model is coined the T-model A number of propositions are derived that argue the relationship between key constructs Finally, the future beyond the T-model is explored,The paper identifies, illustrates and discusses the ways in which value is created in sustainable T-models First, value is created from a number of sources, not only from lower transaction costs Second, it is proposed that it is not about a choice of either M-model or T-model but rather a continuum Toward 2050, technology in general and Blockchain specifically may for some transactions or services, eliminate the need for middlemen The main conclusion is that despite this development, there will, for most organizations, be elements of the M-model in all or most T-model businesses In short: middlemen will have elements of the M-model embedded in the T-model when co creating value with buyers and sellers,While two-sided T-models are not new to the business area, surprisingly no papers have systematically investigated, illustrated, and discussed how value is created among and between the three stakeholder categories of the T-model With this insight, more sustainable T-models can be created
