Modern libertarianism began with Friedrich Hayek’s admirable corrective to the Depression-era vogue for central economic planning. It resisted oppressive state power. It showed how capitalism could improve life for everyone. Yet today, it’s a toxic blend of anarchism, disdain for the weak, and rationalization for environmental catastrophe. Andrew Koppelman’s book traces libertarianism’s evolution from Hayek’s moderate pro-market ideas to the romantic fabulism of Murray Rothbard, Robert Nozick, and Ayn Rand, and Charles Koch’s promotion of climate change denial.

Steffens was the towering figure in journalism of the early 20th century. This is a series of articles he wrote uncovering the graft and corruption at the highest levels of municipal governments across the country: the "Boodlers" stealing money from public piggy banks through a wide variety of schemes and plans made in smoke-filled rooms; trading power for profit; selling rights and property that belonged to the public and putting the money in their own pockets. This is the birth of investigative journalism. It made a difference.

La historia secreta del "Milicogate". El millonario desfalco a los gastos reservados del cobre, por el periodista que destapó el caso.

Prostitution, Raub, Drogen, Terror, Menschenhandel, Umweltverbrechen – nahezu allen kriminellen Taten ist eines gemeinsam: Sie lohnen sich nur, wenn Kriminelle die Herkunft ihrer schmutzigen Erträge verschleiern können – durch Geldwäsche. Geld ist eine Waffe: Kriminelle bestechen Politiker, beeinflussen Parlamentswahlen durch Fake News und destabilisieren mit Cyberattacken die Demokratie. Klar ist: Nimmt man Kriminellen das dreckige Geld, trifft man sie am härtesten. Doch Deutschland tut in dieser Hinsicht praktisch nichts.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine stellt das politische und wirtschaftliche Handeln Deutschlands auf den Prüfstand. Jahrzehntelang wurde über den zweitgrößten Staat Europas hinweggeschaut und Russland hofiert. Mit fatalen Folgen. Deutschland hat versagt, konstatiert die Osteuropa-Expertin Sabine Adler. Ihre Analyse nimmt nicht nur die Ukraine und den aktuellen Krieg in den Blick, sondern vor allem Deutschlands Rolle - wirtschaftlich, politisch, medial - in Bezug auf das von Russland überfallene Land.

Sölve Conradsson, kommunfullmäktiges ordförande i Motala, åt, drack och reste för över hundra tusen kronor på kommunens bekostnad under 1995. Sölve och hans politikervänner tog med sina fruar på nöjesresor till Nice och Berlin, gick på fina restauranger och shoppade – och satte hela kalaset på skattebetalarnas nota. Det var en kommunledning genomsyrat av korruption och det var bara en tidsfråga innan skandalen skulle uppdagas.

You won't be familiar with every one of the huge array of women featured in this book, but all, familiar or not, leave unanswered questions behind them—from Cleopatra to Ruth Ellis, from Boudicca to Bonnie Parker, from Lady Caroline Lamb to Moll Cutpurse, from Jezebel to Ava Gardner. The risqué, the adventurous and the outrageous, the downright nasty and the downright desperate—all human (female!) life is here. Wicked? Misunderstood? Naïve? Foolish? Predatory? Manipulative? Or just out of their time? Listen and decide.

The story of Watergate is usually told through the prism of straight white male journalists and politicians who were at the center of the scandal—but Watergate happened to all of us—wives, mothers, children, Black, White, queer, immigrants. Those voices and perceptions are rarely heard today. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Watergate was envisioned as a book that looks at the wider ripples of the Watergate explosion and how it changed the way Americans saw themselves, their country, and the world around them.
