In the 1990s, a vision emerged of a frictionless world of globalization in which the West would become ever richer on the basis of a tech-based service economy, all underpinned by a rules-based liberal international order. It became the basis for the mainstream politics of center-left and right. Philip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying.

Wie denken Autokraten? Wie kommt das Böse in die Welt? Wiederholt sich Geschichte, und wenn ja, wie? In diesem Buch spürt der Enkel des NS-Außenministers Joachim von Ribbentrop den zeitlosen Wechselwirkungen nach, die das Denken und Wirken von Individuen, aber auch von Gruppen, Gesellschaften und Nationen, bestimmen. Es ist eine historische, soziologische auch philosophische Reise durch die Jahre von 1918 bis 1945, wobei sich interessante Parallelen zu den heutigen Vorgängen in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt auftun.

In Consequences: The Rise of a Fractured World Order, William Priest, David Roche, and Alex Michailoff deliver an engaging, timely, and insightful analysis of identifying the sources and challenges facing liberal democracies and their ability to confront autocracies and autocratic behavior. The authors identify and address structural flaws present in both democracies and autocracies.

There is a growing interest in American secession. In February 2023, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that "We need to separate by red states and blue states." Recent movements like Yes California have called for a national divorce along political lines. A 2023 Axios poll shows that 20 percent of Americans favor a national divorce. These trends show a sincere interest in American secession, and they will likely increase in the aftermath of the 2024 Presidential election.

Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson’s explosive new polemic, arrives in the midst of the greatest political crisis Canada has ever faced. The country stands at risk. Even before Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency, brandishing tariffs and threats of annexation, Canada had started to crack.

From New York Times bestselling author and former ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul comes a clear-eyed look at how the rise of autocratic China and Russia are compelling some to think that we have entered a new Cold War—and why we must reject that thinking in order to prevail.

Wie sähe Deutschland aus, wenn die AfD an der Macht wäre? Der unaufhaltsam scheinende Aufstieg der AfD verändert nicht nur die politischen Kräfteverhältnisse in Deutschland – er droht das Land zu spalten, während die traditionellen Parteien immer verzweifelter versuchen, den Siegeszug zu stoppen. Es gibt kaum einen Journalisten, der die AfD und ihr Umfeld so gut kennt wie Justus Bender. Seit ihren Anfängen im Jahr 2013 begleitet er den Aufstieg der Partei mit investigativen Recherchen und berichtet über ihre innerparteilichen Querelen und rasante Radikalisierung.

In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.

Mit Putins allumfassenden Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine stehen drei Jahrzehnte deutscher Außenpolitik auf dem Prüfstand. Spannend wie in einem Thriller rekonstruieren Gloger und Mascolo die Bruchpunkte einer Epoche: Der folgenschwere NATO-Gipfel von Bukarest, die Abkommen von Minsk, der Fall Nawalny, der frühe hybride Krieg Putins gegen Deutschland und der Bau von Nord Stream 2.

Sie sind keine Erfindung unserer Zeit, aber es ist auffällig, wie sehr sie wieder in Mode sind: legitime Herrscher, die sich wie Despoten verhalten. Staatenlenker, die auf Gewalt setzen und willkürlich regieren. Sie sind zwar nicht durch Putsch oder Revolution an die Macht gekommen, sondern (weitestgehend) demokratisch in ihre Ämter gewählt worden, doch läuft ihr Regierungsstil letztlich auf Tyrannei hinaus.

The whole truth about America, Starr argues in this new history of the United States since the 1950s, has never been contained in one consistent set of values or interests. Our nation was born in the contradiction between freedom and slavery. Today it is beset by a contradiction between a changing people and a resisting nation, a nation with entrenched institutions that have empowered those who fear the changes and look to restore an old America of their imagining.

Kaum sind die Trümmer weggeräumt, setzt in Deutschland ein Wirtschaftsaufschwung ohnegleichen ein, auch ein nimmersatter Kaufrausch: Möbel, Autos, Reisen, Elektrogeräte. Mit dem Rock 'n' Roll erfasst die Jugend ein neues Lebensgefühl. 1957 eröffnet der erste Supermarkt, der Siegeszug der Discounter beginnt. Der Fernseher gruppiert die Wohnzimmer um. – Und plötzlich stellen sich neue Fragen: Wie soll man leben? Verlieren wir unsere kulturelle Identität an Amerika? Wie viel Freiheit braucht ein Kind, eine Ehe, ein Arbeitnehmer?

For half a century, America’s establishment has forged an alliance with the Chinese Communist Party—one that enriched elites, hollowed out the middle class, and imperiled U.S. national security. They sold out American workers for cheap labor, Wall Street profits, and political power. But then came Donald Trump. In The China Matrix, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order—at America’s expense.

Former political advisor Giuliano da Empoli takes us on an insider's journey through this new geopolitical reality, from the Glass Palace of the UN to the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton, from top secret meetings to violent power struggles. We encounter dictators and tyrants, strongmen and AI billionaires - geopolitical predators, and the flailing leaders who desperately try to appease them.

From the pursuit of potentially apocalyptic artificial intelligence to life-extension start-ups that promise billionaires eternal youth and those who encourage the political far right around the world, the Silicon Valley techno-utopian dream has curdled. The global innovator class has the world in their hands, but they can't stand the touch.

In the mid-1950s, Barry Goldwater and Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as the leaders of two diametrically opposed freedom movements that changed the course of American history—and still divide American politics. King mobilized civil rights activists under the banner of "freedom now," insisting that true freedom would not be realized until all people—regardless of race—were empowered politically, economically, and socially. Goldwater rallied conservatives to the cause of "extremism in defense of liberty," advocating radical individualism.

Beginning at the turn of the century, and ending only with communism’s collapse, the US government and major elements in the wider society undertook an unrelenting effort to suppress and criminalize domestic communism.

Few topics are as timely as the growth of government. To understand why government has grown, Robert Higgs asserts, one must understand how it has grown. This book offers a coherent, multi-causal explanation, guided by a novel analytical framework firmly grounded in historical evidence. More than a study of trends in governmental spending, taxation, and employment, Crisis and Leviathan is a thorough analysis of the actual occasions when and the specific means by which Big Government developed in the United States.

Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy.
