A elite do atraso se tornou um clássico contemporâneo da sociologia brasileira, um livro fundamental de Jessé Souza. Por meio de uma linguagem fluente, irônica e ousada, Jessé apresenta uma nova visão sobre as causas da desigualdade que marca nosso país e reescreve a história da nossa sociedade. No âmago da interpretação de Jessé não está a corrupção política. Para ele, a questão a partir da qual se deve explicar a história passada e atual do Brasil - e de suas classes, portanto - não é outra senão a escravidão.

A guerra contra o Brasil de que trata este livro não é do tipo convencional: não incendeia cidades nem utiliza bombas e mísseis. Para o consagrado sociólogo Jessé Souza, autor de A elite do atraso, as armas dessa guerra são o racismo, a subserviência da nossa elite econômica, a mentira, o fundamentalismo religioso e o fascismo latente da nossa tradição autoritária. Urdida e testada na sociedade americana, a guerra híbrida de que somos vítimas é uma estratégia baseada na manipulação de informações e na desestabilização de governos populares.

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller This Town, the eyewitness account of how the GOP collaborated with Donald Trump to transform Washington’s “swamp” into a gold-plated hot tub—and a onetime party of rugged individualists into a sycophantic personality cult.

Guillermo Trejo y Sandra Ley ofrecen en este libro una teoría novedosa y necesaria sobre la violencia criminal, que enfatiza la influencia crucial de la política. A diferencia de estudios previos, que ven a los grupos de crimen organizado como empresas económicas libres que operan en oposición a las autoridades estatales, Trejo y Ley los conciben como grupos ilegales íntimamente relacionados con el Estado. Por tanto, estos grupos responden al cambio político: el crimen organizado no puede existir ni operar con éxito si no cuenta con algún grado de protección estatal.

Als ein Whistleblower dem Rechercheteam der Süddeutschen Zeitung Tausende Kontodaten der Credit Suisse zuspielt, stoßen die Enthüllungsjournalisten Hannes Munzinger, Frederik Obermaier und Bastian Obermayer auf Diktatoren, Geheimdienstchefs, Könige, Kardinäle und ganz normale Superreiche.

The violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a terrible day for American democracy, but many people dared to hope that at least it would break the fever that had overcome the Republican Party and banish Trump's relentless lies about the stealing of the 2020 election. That is not what happened. Instead, “the big steal” has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans. What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know.

In this landmark work, investigative journalist David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich. Using a wealth of untapped sources, de Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave labourers and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler’s army as Europe burnt around them. Most shocking of all, de Jong exposes how the wider world’s political expediency enabled these billionaires to get away with their crimes.

Rigged financial markets and hopeless under-regulation on Wall Street are not new problems. In this book, Susanne Trimbath gives a sobering account of naked short-selling, the failure to settle, and her efforts over decades trying to get this fixed. This is a cautionary tale. What started as a regulatory failure turned into a regulatory crisis. Shareholder democracy is in shambles. The institutions that were established to correct a problem of trade settlement failures have instead exacerbated the problem. Global financial markets may not survive what comes next.

No es una pandilla, no es una célula de un grupo mayor ni tampoco una banda doméstica, sino un auténtico cártel que logró apoderarse del centro del país, justo en las narices de las más altas autoridades. ¿Cómo lo hizo? Ejerciendo una violencia como nunca se había visto, con el liderazgo de un hombre del que poco o nada se sabía, con una red de lavado poderosísima y la apatía de dos administraciones capitalinas.

Long before Wikileaks and social media, the journalist Drew Pearson exposed to public view information that public officials tried to keep hidden. Pearson devoted himself to revealing what politicians were doing behind closed doors. From 1932 to 1969, his daily "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column and weekly radio and TV commentary broke secrets, revealed classified information, and passed along rumors based on sources high and low in the federal government, while intelligence agents searched fruitlessly for his sources.

I meticulously outline the appalling extent to which the powerful few work behind the scenes to shamelessly plunder the resources of Nigeria. Up to eight billion dollars is lost annually to corruption, and no politician goes unexamined in this piercing review. From jungle justice to the corrupt kleptocracy that defines Nigeria’s ruling class today, I clearly give historical context to a modern but untenable problem. This important record speaks truth to power and documents the crushing consequences of political gaming.

Authentic, hard-hitting, and profoundly thought-provoking, this riveting real-life legal thriller offers an incendiary exposé of the turmoil and hidden dangers behind the trailblazing legalization of the cannabis industry. As the first-ever memoir of its kind, van Leynseele’s story provides a cautionary tale, pulling back the curtain on the systemic problems within legal marijuana, the institutional sexism still lurking in the legal profession, and the biases that lead to white-collar criminals exploiting the system and getting away with it.

En 2015, Santiago Nieto recibió un encargo claro: investigar los delitos electorales. Pero cuando lo hizo a profundidad, la maquinaria gubernamental lo embistió brutalmente. En este documento histórico, el extitular de la Fiscalía Especializada para la Atención de Delitos Electorales explica, con todo detalle, quiénes se incomodaron con su labor, por qué lo acosaron y los casos que desataron la persecución: Odebrecht, Estado de México, Veracruz, Chiapas....

In the more than five tumultuous, paradigm-shifting years of Donald Trump’s presidency and beyond, his near-constant lying has become a fixture of political life. It is inextricably linked with how his party behaves, how the Democrats respond to it, and how he remains relevant, even after a decisive loss in 2020. Jonathan Lemire brings his connections, profile, and reportorial instincts to bear in his first book that explores how this phenomenon shapes our politics. The Big Lie is the first audiobook to examine this unprecedented and tenuous moment in our nation’s politics.

Una investigación explosiva que desvelará la historia de España, desde el 23-F y la caída de la UCD hasta el felipismo y la consolidación de José María Aznar. La fuente de este riguroso y minucioso trabajo de investigación periodística es el archivo personal de Emilio Alonso Manglano, director del CESID entre 1981 y 1995: sus agendas, sus cuadernos de notas y los informes de inteligencia que guardó: una investigación de varios años repleta de secretos y ocultismo sobre el contenido de más de 200 kilos de documentos que desentrañan la historia nunca contada de España.

The country that gave us Vlad Dracula, and whose citizens consider themselves descendants of ancient Rome, has traditionally preferred the status of enigmatic outsider. But this beautiful and unexplored land has experienced some of the most disastrous leaderships of the last century. After a relatively benign period led by a dutiful King and his vivacious British-born Queen, the country oscillated wildly.
