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.

Gladys Berejiklian was Australia's rockstar premier. The first woman elected to lead NSW, she steered the state through devastating bushfires, drought and a once-in-a-generation pandemic with a steady hand. To many, she was 'The Woman Who Saved Australia' for the way in which she navigated the first wave of COVID, with a sterling reputation as a dedicated and reliable public servant. But for all of her premiership, and well before, Berejiklian was harbouring a secret. That secret would eventually bring down one of the country's most deeply respected leaders.

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.

Exploring the extraordinary social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over the centuries, Entitled seeks to explain how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place. It reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power, and prestige and examines the greed, ambition, jealousy, and rivalry which drove aristocratic families to guard their interests with such determination.

In quella che il comandante Fournier definisce “una macelleria messicana” vengono arrestate e picchiate 93 persone sebbene non abbiano opposto alcuna resistenza.

Esta es la historia del exsecretario de Seguridad Pública que rendía cuentas a los narcos mientras les mentía a todos los mexicanos. Un personaje que supo esconder una meteórica y corrupta carrera: de soplón de la policía a espía de Carlos Salinas de Gortari, de funcionario estrella de Fox a titiritero de la guerra de Calderón.

Lo más importante de La Casa Gris es que descubre y resume un modo de operar y de gobernar. Las irregularidades en torno a la mansión de Houston son prácticamente las mismas que se han documentado en otros escándalos de Morena y el círculo íntimo del presidente: conflictos de interés, recursos de procedencia inexplicable, influyentismo, uso político de las instituciones, amiguismo, descalificación sistemática, nepotismo, opacidad… Este libro lo demuestra.

Todos saben que el oficio periodístico significa resistencia y muchas veces arriesgar la propia vida. Estamos en uno de los países más peligrosos para ejercer el periodismo, no sólo por el acecho de los criminales, sino porque el poder corruptor de éstos ha convertido a policías y funcionarios del gobierno en sus aliados.

En diciembre de 2006, Felipe Calderón declaró la «guerra contra el narco»: una era de sangre y fuego que ha dejado cientos de miles de muertos... y cientos de millones de dólares para unos pocos. En esta investigación #realizada a lo largo de 8 años, en 4 países y con más de 17 mil documentos# la periodista Peniley Ramírez desnuda a quienes se han forrado de dinero gracias a esa industria: políticos, proveedores, brokers, espías, empresas de seguridad, asesores, mandos policiacos, jefes militares y mercaderes de armas y de humo.

La storia di Mafia Capitale non è solo una storia visibile, territorio della politica e dell’amministrazione, né corrisponde soltanto alle vicende torbide di corruzione e malaffare che lentamente e a fatica emergono: le ragioni della sua forza e della sua pericolosità affondano nel terreno dei quartieri e delle periferie, e risalgono a una storia antichissima. Nel suo nuovo audiolibro, che contiene uno stralcio della sentenza della Cassazione del processo Mafia Capitale, Federica Angeli indaga la lunga storia della corruzione e della mafia a Roma.

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.

It could have been so much worse: a deeply reported, insider story of how a handful of Washington officials staged a daring resistance to an unprecedented presidency and prevented chaos overwhelming the government and the nation.

In this book, former WE board member and lawyer Tawfiq Rangwala cuts through the fog and explains what really happened, why it happened, and who should be held to account.
