Un audiolibro que nos adentra en la figura de Angela Merkel, probablemente la política más importante y enigmática de las últimas décadas. Nada hacía presagiar que una introvertida investigadora científica, hija de un pastor protestante, criada en la antigua Alemania comunista, fuera a convertirse en la líder fundamental para entender la Europa y el mundo de las últimas décadas.

Om demokratiets væsen og vilkår, dets forudsætninger og grundlag i fortiden og perspektiverne for fremtiden. Hal Koch skrev bogen umiddelbart efter krigens ophør med henblik på det folkelige oplysningsarbejde.

¿Es el relato oficial de la Transición verdaderamente fidedigno? Juan Carlos Monedero pone en el punto de mira los silencios, los aullidos y las poses fotográficas de quienes participaron en ella y de quienes no lo hicieron pero se agarraron al discurso oficial como un clavo ardiendo. En estas páginas se cuestionan ciertos aspectos del pasado ya no tan reciente de España y de su efecto en la sociedad y el sistema democrático.

George Orwell's moving reflections on the English character and his passionate belief in the need for political change. 'The Lion and the Unicorn' was written in London during the worst period of the Blitz. It is vintage Orwell, a dynamic outline of his belief in socialism, patriotism and an English revolution. His fullest political statement, it has been described as 'one of the most moving and incisive portraits of the English character' and is as relevant now as it ever has been.

From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The Raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction with their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Let’s explore how the rule of the British Raj evolved, how their power became stronger and weaker, what the impact of the world wars was, the nationalist groups in India, and significant figures like Mahatma Gandhi.

During the Great Depression, the Los Angeles area was rife with radical movements. Although many observers thought their ideas unworkable, even dangerous, Southern Californians voted for them by the tens of thousands. This book asks why. To find answers, author Errol Wayne Stevens takes listeners through the history of such movements as the Utopian Society, Dr. Francis Townsend’s old-age revolving pension plan, Upton Sinclair’s End Poverty in California gubernatorial campaign, and Retirement Life Payments, known as Ham and Eggs.

Es geht dem radikalisierten Konservatismus nicht mehr nur ums Klein-Klein des politischen Tagesgeschäfts, sondern darum, eine grundsätzlich andere Version der Realität zu erschaffen und möglichst viele Menschen dorthin mitzunehmen. Von der Krise der Sozialdemokratie ist allerorten die Rede. Doch auch viele traditionsreiche Mitte-rechts-Parteien befinden sich im Niedergang oder zumindest in einer Zwickmühle: Sollen sie sich für progressive urbane Milieus öffnen? Oder lieber ihr konservatives Profil schärfen?

The Quiet Before is a grand panorama, stretching from the 17th-century correspondence that jump-started the scientific revolution to the groundswell of the Chartists, the liberation movement on the Gold Coast and the underground network of samizdat publications in Soviet Russia - even the encrypted apps used by epidemiologists fighting the pandemic in the shadow of an inept administration. Beckerman shows that defining social movements - from decolonisation to feminism - thrive when they are given the time and space to gestate.

Para Andrés Openheimer la educación, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en la región latinoamericana es urgente, y la razón es simple: el XXI será el siglo de la economía del conocimiento.

Wie alles begann. Am 24. Juni 2022 jährt sich die Ermordung des deutschen Außenministers Walther Rathenau zum 100. Mal. Der Journalist und Buchautor Thomas Hüetlin lässt zu diesem Anlass die Ereignisse, die zu dieser verhängnisvollen Tat führten, in einer aufrüttelnden Reportage wieder auferstehen. Er erzählt vom Verlauf dieses tragischen Tages der deutschen Geschichte und den politischen Auswirkungen bis in unsere Tage hinein.

Paul Gottfried looks at antifascism from its roots in early 20th-century Europe to its American manifestation in the present. The pivotal development for defining the present political spectrum, he suggests, has been the replacement of a recognizably Marxist left by an intersectional one. He concludes that promoting a fear of fascism today serves the interests of the powerful in particular, those in positions of political, journalistic, and educational power who want to bully and isolate political opponents. 

The story of America is the struggle between our liberal ideal and illiberal resistance. Donald Trump catalyzed a reactionary revolution by tapping into the dark, shadowy side of American democracy that embraces exclusion and inequality. Throughout American history these alarming impulses have come to the forefront of our culture — during the Civil War, the era of the Robber Barons, and the Civil Rights Movement — but have now come to fruition in the presidency of Donald Trump.

Roger Scruton’s How to be a Conservative presents the case for modern conservatism not in the terms of an elegy but rather as a practical example of how to live as a conservative despite the pressures to live otherwise. As he writes, the book ‘is not about what we have lost, but about what we have retained, and how to hold on to it’. In this witty and frank account, Scruton draws on his years of experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life.

Since 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has maintained unrivalled control over the country, persisting even in the face of economic calamity, widespread social upheaval, and violence against its own people. Yet the party does not sustain dominance through repressive tactics alone - it pairs this with surprising responsiveness to the public. The Party and the People explores how this paradox has helped the CCP endure for decades, and how this balance has shifted increasingly toward repression under the rule of President Xi Jinping.

Proprio come l'Idra, il mostro mitologico le cui teste, mozzate da Ercole, avevano il potere di rinascere raddoppiandosi, il capitalismo, un tempo solo occidentale oggi planetario, ricompare sulla scena del mondo riproponendo nuove e più sofisticate forme di schiavitù. Ma se è vero che dai grandi conflitti del '900 il capitalismo è uscito vincitore trionfando su ogni rivoluzione, è altrettanto vero che "l'uguaglianza è una necessità che si ripresenta continuamente, come la fame".

In this essay, Orwell discusses the notion of nationalism and argues that it causes people to disregard common sense and become more ignorant towards factuality. Orwell shows his concern for the social state of Europe, and in a broader sense, the entire world, due to an increasing amount of influence of nationalistic sentiment occurring throughout a large number of countries.

In Real Americans, Jared A. Goldstein boldly challenges the conventional wisdom that a shared devotion to the Constitution is the essence of what it means to be American. 

Kojo Koram traces the tale of how, after the end of the British empire, an interconnected group of well-heeled British intellectuals, politicians, accountants and lawyers offshored their capital, seized assets and saddled debt in former 'dependencies'. This enabled horrific inequality across the globe, as ruthless capitalists profited and ordinary people across Britain's former territories in colonial Africa, Asia and the Caribbean were trapped in poverty.
