A paradigm-shifting work that revolutionizes our understanding of the origins and structure of science.

We all understand that knowledge shapes the fate of business and the growth of nations, but few of us are aware of the principles that govern its motion. The Infinite Alphabet unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge by taking you from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China’s innovation economy. Through dozens of stories, you will learn why aircraft manufacturers in Italy began manufacturing scooters after the Second World War and how migrants like Samuel Slater shaped the industrial fabric of the United States.

Ferrari delinea un quadro sociale e politico che associa le erbacce a movimenti e individui che si oppongono alle norme costituite, incoraggiando il riconoscimento della bellezza e del valore della diversità. Un percorso analitico che esplora la globalizzazione delle disuguaglianze, offrendo una visione articolata e ricca di spunti sulla complessità dei fenomeni migratori.

A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer—the first and most famous of his books—was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.

Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told that he was a ‘do-nothing’ because he lacked initiative. Dispirited and unemployed, it occurred to him that if he was so good at doing nothing, perhaps he could turn it into a business. And with one tweet, he began his business of renting himself out, to do nothing. In Rental Person Who Does Nothing, Morimoto chronicles his extraordinary experiences in his unique line of work and reflects on how we consider relationships, jobs and family in our search for meaningful connection and purpose in life.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Drawing on a rich legacy of critical intellectuals and the creative wisdom of diverse traditions, Attensity calls on us to come together to defeat the greedy dehumanizing forces of brute instrumentalization—and re-enchant the world.

Was ist Klasse? Wie entsteht Ungleichheit? Was sind die Quellen von Statushierarchien und Prestige? Sind reiche Menschen bessere Menschen? Oder schlechtere? Hanno Sauer zeigt in diesem brillanten Hörbuch, was Klassenunterschiede sind, wie sie funktionieren und warum sie so schwer loszuwerden sind. Und wie wir die »Logik sozialer Signale« entschlüsseln können, von denen wir umgeben sind. Dabei wird klar: Soziale Klassenunterschiede und Statushierarchien haben einen viel fundamentaleren Einfluss auf unser Denken, unser Handeln und unsere gesamte Gesellschaft, als wir glauben.

We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this astonishing, eye-opening intervention, world-leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control.

Unsere bürgerliche Gesellschaft ist einem Zangenangriff auf die Normalität ausgesetzt – nämlich einmal durch die "Wokeness" der Kulturrevolutionäre und zum andern durch den Alarmismus der politisch-medialen Elite. Die Wokeness stellt das Verhältnis von normal und pathologisch auf den Kopf. Der Alarmismus stellt das Verhältnis von normal und extrem auf den Kopf. Das, was früher als Neurose betrachtet wurde, soll jetzt als selbstbestimmter Lebensentwurf anerkannt werden.

Das Buch, das kein traditioneller Verlag publizieren wollte. Gelesen vom Autor. In diesem scharfsinnigen und provokanten Essay entlarvt Ulf Poschardt einen neuen Sozialcharakter, der unsere Gesellschaft prägt und lähmt: den „Shitbürger". Poschardt, einer der renommiertesten Journalisten Deutschlands, zeigt auf, wie der Shitbürger in den liberalen, saturierten Gesellschaften des Westens eine beispiellose „Hegemonie" errichtet hat.

Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.

Dies ist ein umfassendes und kritisches akademisches Werk, das untersucht, wie der Konsumismus im 21. Jahrhundert zu einer strukturierenden Kraft für Subjektivität, soziale Beziehungen und Ungleichheiten geworden ist. Basierend auf einem interdisziplinären Ansatz, der Sozialpsychologie, kritische Soziologie, digitale Technologie und Konsumtheorie verbindet, bietet das Buch eine tiefgreifende Analyse der symbolischen, affektiven und algorithmischen Mechanismen, die das Verbraucherverhalten im Zeitalter digitaler Plattformen prägen.

Imagine this: You're walking past a shallow pond and spot a toddler thrashing around in the water, in obvious danger of drowning. You look around for her parents, but nobody is there. You're the only person who can save her and you must act immediately. But as you approach the pond you remember that you're wearing your most expensive shoes. Wading into the water will ruin them—and might make you late for a meeting. Should you let the child drown?

In 1910, when the industrialists and intelligentsia both promised only “progress,” G. K. Chesterton was among the few in the West who could see the brewing ideological storms that would soon make landfall, not just in the form of world wars and totalitarianism but in the pervasive modern dehumanization that consumes us to this day. More than a century ago, Chesterton perceived the beginnings of “woke capital” and how it aligns with and promotes social progressivism. There is an unspoken alliance between big business and progressives, he explains.

En este breve ensayo, ¿Qué es el Dinero?, Tolstói analiza el dinero no solo como herramienta económica, sino como símbolo de poder y desigualdad. Sostiene que el dinero permite a unos pocos vivir a expensas del trabajo de muchos, y que su acumulación casi siempre implica injusticia. Para él, el sistema económico moderno es inmoral porque legitima la explotación y aleja al ser humano de una vida sencilla y justa.
