For all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue/red divide, we've ignored what economic and cultural loss can do to pride. What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks, when a proud people in a hard-hit region suffer the deep loss of pride and are confronted with a powerful political appeal that makes it feel "stolen"? Hochschild's research drew her to Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia, within the whitest and second-poorest congressional district in the nation.

En unos tiempos en que ha vuelto a hacer acto de presencia una profunda crispación política, y a solo una década de que España conmemore el inicio del mayor drama de nuestra historia contemporánea, la pregunta sobre qué queremos hacer con el recuerdo de la Guerra Civil no sólo es pertinente sino especialmente relevante. Este ensayo ha sido concebido con un triple objetivo. Primero, fomentar un debate social respecto no sólo a un pasado cada vez más remoto, sino a un futuro en el que definitivamente la negra sombra de la Guerra Civil pueda desaparecer.

En un mundo marcado por la incertidumbre, la profunda transformación tecnológica y el retorno de los viejos conflictos geopolíticos, José María Aznar ofrece una brillante interpretación de las amenazas y las oportunidades de las democracias liberales en el siglo XXI.

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Si la historia tiene una utilidad por antonomasia es la de impedir que los episodios más oscuros de esta se repitan. Un conocimiento de los distintos movimientos fascistas que surgieron tras la Primera Guerra Mundial y que detentaron el poder en numerosos países europeos en el período de entreguerras, es necesario para impedir que, en épocas de crisis económicas y de valores, vuelvan a seducir a los pueblos con su mensaje de regeneración expeditiva.

Opening with a panorama of Russian society, from the cloistered world of the Tsar to the brutal life of the peasants, A People’s Tragedy follows workers, soldiers, intellectuals and villagers as their world is consumed by revolution and then degenerates into violence and dictatorship. Drawing on vast original research, Figes conveys above all the shocking experience of the revolution for those who lived it, while providing the clearest and most cogent account of how and why it unfolded.

Outlining the theory of communism by Marx and Engels, this political document explains the material conception of history and presents their theories and ideas of how in due course socialism would replace the capitalist society of the time. It discusses the relationship between the proletarians and the bourgeoisie, the communists and the proletarians, and the communists and other opposition parties.

Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik reminds us of the importance of the nation-state, arguing forcefully that when the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik’s case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today’s global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

In this powerful audiobook, first published in 1943, Amy Buller recounts the hopes and fears of Germans engulfed in the rise of fascism during the 1930s. During the years leading up to the outbreak of war, Buller defied her critics and social norms by leading delegations of British intelligentsia to Germany to learn about and confront the appeal of the Nazis.

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town. A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather than making things, they simply connect people. The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.

¿España está condenada o simplemente mal contada? Durante décadas nos han repetido que España no tiene remedio. Que somos diferentes, incorregibles, un caso perdido. Pero, ¿y si esa resignación no fuera más que el resultado de una hábil estrategia de ingeniería cultural? ¿Y si el problema no estuviera en los españoles, sino en la forma en que nos han enseñado a vernos, en cómo nos narramos a nosotros mismos como país?

China und Russland, Iran oder auch die Türkei – Autokraten nutzen im Kampf der Systeme eine Vielzahl von Strategien, um westliche Demokratien systematisch auszuhöhlen. Ihre neue Form eines stillen und verdeckten, aber effektiven Hybridkriegs hat längst die Bundesrepublik erreicht. Nach ihrem SPIEGEL-Bestseller Die Moskau-Connection zeichnen die beiden FAZ-Journalisten Reinhard Bingener und Markus Wehner in ihrem neuen Werk nach, wie die bedrohliche Achse autokratischer Staaten Deutschland angreift und welche Gefahren davon für unsere Gesellschaft und Institutionen ausgehen.

Agora tudo é Comunismo? explica essas e outras questões que circundam o tema. Afinal, encarar o assunto de forma objetiva e entender o que ele realmente representa significa acessar uma perspectiva crítica em relação ao modelo econômico capitalista sob o qual vivemos, o que pode nos ajudar a responder a outra pergunta: o capitalismo deu certo?

Ci si può stupire se nel 2022, a un secolo dall'avvento del fascismo, c'è una ditta che produce e vende su e-Bay magliette celebrative della Marcia su Roma? O se torna di moda il saluto romano, dalle curve degli stadi ai consigli comunali? A cento anni dall'ascesa di Mussolini l'Italia appare ancora divisa sul giudizio storico del fascismo.

Sull'esempio delle proteste americane, anche in Italia si è diffusa un'ondata di revisionismo nei confronti di protagonisti e avvenimenti del passato considerati politicamente scorretti. Ma le conseguenze talvolta sono paradossali. Le asperità del passato non si possono nascondere e la complessità della storia non obbedisce alle ipersensibilità del presente.

The rise of Narendra Modi is a watershed moment in Indian politics. In fact, such is the magnitude of his influence on the country that India’s governance paradigm and political history can be easily divided into two distinct eras—pre-Modi and post-Modi. In 2021, Modi completed 20 continuous years as the head of a government. This book, a compilation of chapters authored by eminent intellectuals and domain experts, attempts a definitive and expansive exploration into the fundamental transformation of Gujarat and India over the last 20 years due to Modi’s unique model of governance.

Since the Founding, Americans have debated the true meaning of freedom. For some, freedom meant the provision of life’s necessities, those basic conditions for the “pursuit of happiness”. For others, freedom meant the civil and political rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights and unfettered access to the marketplace—nothing more. As Mark Paul explains, the latter interpretation—thanks in large part to a particularly influential cadre of economists—has all but won out among policymakers, with dire repercussions for American society.

"Sono vissuto a lungo nei conflitti, tra i soldati al fronte, più ancora con le popolazioni colpite, negli ospedali, assieme ai profughi, cercando di comprendere le loro ragioni e spiegarle. Intanto in Europa si magnificava il nostro come uno dei periodi più pacifici nella storia. Ma, come vediamo oggi in Ucraina, la guerra è sempre parte di noi e l'avevamo solo rimossa." Per Lorenzo Cremonesi, inviato del "Corriere della Sera" in prima linea sui fronti più difficili, il conflitto armato è il punto di vista ideale per ripercorrere la sua storia e quella del mondo in cui viviamo.
