El neoliberalismo es un fenómeno de perfiles borrosos, como tantas cosas, y hay un empleo retórico del término, de intención derogatoria, que no ayuda a aclarar nada. Pero es un fenómeno perfectamente identificable, cuya historia se puede contar. Es en primer lugar, y sobre todo, un programa intelectual, un conjunto de ideas cuya trama básica es compartida por economistas, filósofos, sociólogos, juristas. Es también un programa político: una serie de leyes, arreglos institucionales, criterios de política económica, fiscal, derivados de aquellas ideas.

Fantasy is the USA’s primary product. From the Pilgrim fathers onward, America has been a place where renegades and freaks came in search of freedom to create their own realities with little objectively regulated truth standing in their way.

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform?

Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order.
