Scholars have often claimed that democracies, whatever their virtues, are functionally short-sighted. The evidence is clear: We have been unable to manage many long-term issues, including climate change, nuclear waste disposal, natural disaster preparedness, infrastructure maintenance, and budget deficits. To solve long-term problems, do we need political systems that are less democratic, or even authoritarian?

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Nathan Law has experienced first-hand the shocking speed with which our freedom can be taken away from us, as an elected politician arrested simply for speaking his mind. He remembers what it is like to lack freedom - and his father's precarious three-day escape from China in a small rowing boat. In this passionate rallying cry, Law argues that we must defend our freedom now or face losing it for ever.

We the Fallen People presents a close look at the ideas of human nature to be found in the history of American democratic thought. McKenzie, following C. S. Lewis, claims there are only two reasons to believe in majority rule: because we have confidence in human nature - or because we don't. The Founders subscribed to the biblical principle that humans are fallen and their virtue is always doubtful, and they wrote the US Constitution to frame a republic intended to handle our weaknesses.

America is currently at a tipping point. There is an ideological battle between the left progressive liberals and the right wing conservatives. This book illustrates the massive defects in the right's policies that have led us to the brink of a precipitous fall over a cliff. Most importantly, it presents a logical solution to the economic woes of the country. Implemented over time, the suggested policy changes would ensure that America lives up to the America we all expect it to be.

O termo “lawfare” conquistou o debate público na Europa e na América Latina desde que os advogados Cristiano Zanin Martins e Valeska Teixeira Zanin Martins, em entrevista concedida no 10 de outubro de 2016, dele se valeram para explicar o caso Lula. Seu conceito, porém, tem sido frequentemente confundido com outros tópicos consagrados como a judicialização da política ou o estado de exceção.

Aminata Touré verbrachte die ersten Jahre ihres Lebens in einer Unterkunft für Geflüchtete, heute ist sie Vizepräsidentin eines Landtags. Dass sich dieser Satz wie eine Heldinnengeschichte liest, zeigt, dass wir noch nicht in einer offenen und gleichberechtigten Gesellschaft leben. Es ist höchste Zeit, das zu ändern. Aminata Touré wurde 1992 geboren, ihre Eltern waren kurz zuvor aus Mali geflohen. Im selben Jahr brannten in Deutschland Häuser, in denen "Menschen wie sie" lebten.

Der Staat ist für den Menschen da und nicht der Mensch für den Staat! Paul Kirchhof, Hoffnungsträger und Reizfigur des Bundestagswahlkampfes 2005, fordert die fundamentale Erneuerung unseres Landes aus unmittelbarer Vernunft heraus. Der deutsche Staat, so Kirchhofs Diagnose, ist zu einer Hydra, einem vielköpfigen Ungeheuer verkommen: Mit dem Bild der Hydra, der immer wieder neue Köpfe nachwachsen, beschreibt er die Verbiegung des Rechts, der Vernunft, die Entgrenzung des Staates und seine ausufernden Eingriffe in das Leben der Bürger.

Addressed in the cookbook is the historical fact that Chandler is the hometown of one of the most progressive US senators ever to serve from Texas - a true populist politician - Sen. Ralph W. Yarborough. He was in office from 1957 to 1970. Today, Chandler-like much of rural East Texas - is bent more politically conservative, and President Trump has been very popular with many.

At a time when millennials are searching for answers, Politics as Usual gives insight on everything from marijuana to alternative energy, political movements, self-motivation, poetry, and hip-hop. Written to provide a foundation and precise perspective not only in the catacombs of politics today, it also sheds light on the narrative of Southern politics through the lens of the voiceless - while simultaneously encouraging them to find a political identity.

Michael Slaby identifies four necessary avenues to build a future that serves us all: redesign our platforms; restore journalism, government, and corporations; reclaim the power and diversity of our storytelling; and ultimately redeem ourselves. Optimistic and passionate, For ALL the People breaks down how we got here, and how we can work together toward a better democracy empowered by - rather than exploited by - technology.

Socialists Don’t Sleep is about all the sneaky ways the secular left has pressed socialism into American politics and life - and why Christians are the only ones who can stop it. Socialists Don’t Sleep tells how America has gone from a country of rights coming from God, not government, to a country that embraces socialism - where the government’s now expected to pretty much provide from cradle to grave. Cheryl K. Chumley, award-winning journalist and contributing editor to The Washington Times, explains how to return the country to its glory days.

This sweeping book is a systematic treatment of the historic transformation of the West from limited monarchy to unlimited democracy. Revisionist in nature, it reaches the conclusion that monarchy, with all its failings, is a lesser evil than mass democracy but outlines deficiencies in both as systems of guarding liberty.

Desde la valentía y la reflexión, Rosa Díez convierte "La demolición" en un alegato contra la indiferencia y en una apelación a favor de la resistencia y de la acción en defensa de lo común. Nos da todos los datos que demuestran la gran traición de Pedro Sánchez a la democracia española y sus consecuencias para el futuro de los españoles.

Weckruf aus dem Osten: Wie unsere Demokratie noch zu retten ist. Dies ist die Streitschrift zum Wahljahr: Dirk Neubauer, der Bürgermeister der sächsischen Stadt Augustusburg, will unser politisches System umbauen. Denn: Die Demokratie erreicht die Menschen nicht mehr. Das will Neubauer ändern. Sein Weg aus der Krise: das System vom Kopf auf die Füße stellen, die Hierarchie von Bund, Ländern, Kreisen und Kommunen radikal aufbrechen, die Rolle von Parteien hinterfragen und alles, was geht, vor Ort entscheiden - durch die direkte Beteiligung von Bürgern.

In Words for Warriors, with her trademark wit and intelligence, Sam Sorbo shows exactly how radical left-wingers have manipulated language to fit their own socialistic and anti-freedom agenda. Sam Sorbo is on a mission to reclaim today’s hot button/culture war words for all freedom-loving Americans. Arranged in an accessible “A-Z” glossary style, listeners can dip in to discover the real meanings behind the acronyms, words, and phrases that the toxic liberal left loves to force on the rest of us.

Democracy is, by its very nature, often rude. But there are limits to how uncivil we should be. In the 2010 edition of Rude Democracy, Susan Herbst explored the ways we discuss public policy, how we treat each other as we do, and how we can create a more civil national culture. She used the examples of Sarah Palin and Barack Obama to illustrate her case. In a new preface for this 2020 edition, the author connects her book to our current highly contentious politics and what it means for the future of democratic argument.

Ethical leadership, steeped in integrity and fairness, matters. The future of our nation and our world depends upon the quality of America's character. In this uncompromising, absorbing look at our government and society today, Jill Long Thompson persuasively argues that we all have a meaningful role to play in shaping America's character and future. The citizenry, as well as their elected officials, are responsible for protecting fairness of participation and integrity in elections, as well as in the adoption and execution of laws.

In Last Chance to Save American Democracy, political strategist Haven Scott McVarish takes us through the intentional dismantling of democracy begun by Republican party funders after Obama's landslide in 2008. These funders and their willing Republican servants weaponized unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, and diversionary propaganda to make it impossible for Democrats to effectively govern or win a majority. Only Trump’s massive unpopularity allowed Democrats to barely win the trifecta in the 2020 elections.

After the Dance first appeared in 2004, 10 years after South Africa’s wildly enthusiastic embrace of freedom and democracy. Its value now, 15 years later, seems to be as a portrait of a new democracy that is losing its innocence. The optimism remains widespread, but the cracks, first hinted at in the 2004 edition, are beginning to show. The halcyon days of the Nelson Mandela presidency have slipped away too rapidly, replaced by early signs of that distinctive post-Uhuru pattern.

Billionaire oligarchs want to own our republic, and they’re nearly there, thanks to legislation and Supreme Court decisions that they have essentially bought. They put Trump and his political allies into office and support a vast network of think tanks, publications, and social media that every day push our nation closer and closer to police-state tyranny.
