T.S. Eliot argues that Shakespeare and Dante are the two greatest writers who have shaped the modern world, with no third equal to their influence. Sajid Imtiaz discusses how the lives of leaders David and Suleiman can teach lessons about reason and good governance. George B. Shaw notes that the value of one's abilities is determined not by merit but by the demands of the market and availability of alternatives.
