Every major nation on Earth is governed by someone you wouldn’t trust to park your car. From aging strongmen who confuse their own biography with history to ambitious young demagogues who confuse their Instagram following with a mandate, the global political class has achieved something remarkable: unanimous, bipartisan, cross-cultural incompetence. Meanwhile, automated systems already fly your planes, regulate your power grid, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization from starving.

What really goes on behind closed doors in Ireland’s most secretive political party? Long defined by message control and secrecy, Sinn Féin has rarely allowed outsiders a glimpse behind the curtain. Ourselves Alone, by former communications adviser and party spokesperson, Siobhán Fenton, is...

In Life of the Party, the former U.S. Congressman and South Carolina gubernatorial candidate delivers a frank, deeply personal, and unflinching diagnosis of what ails the Democratic Party — and a clear-eyed prescription for how it can recover. Drawing on his unlikely 2018 congressional victory in one of the reddest districts in the South and his front-row seat to the party's most consequential failures, Cunningham makes the case that Democrats didn't just lose elections — they lost the trust of everyday Americans. The problem, he argues, isn't Donald Trump. It's the party itself.

Can a song trigger a murder? Can a poem spark a riot? Can a book divide a people? Away from the gaze of mainstream urban media, across India's dusty, sleepy towns, a brand of popular culture is quietly seizing the imagination of millions, on the internet and off it. From catchy songs with...

A primeira—e aguardada—biografia de vulto de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Para além de juízos ou paixões, Lula está entre as maiores figuras políticas da história brasileira. Único presidente do país com origens operárias, e campo magnético de um partido profundamente original em suas raízes, exerceu o poder carismático e a influência de modo mais duradouro que qualquer outro homem público no período republicano, salvo talvez Getúlio Vargas–com quem também compartilha a virulência dos adversários.

O PT foi o grande vencedor de eleições presidenciais da Nova República, produziu seu líder mais popular e, de certa forma, representa as vitórias e derrotas do Brasil no período. Talvez por isso, também tenha virado o bode expiatório dos defeitos do sistema para parte do público brasileiro. Com prosa brilhante e argumentação rigorosa, o sociólogo Celso Rocha de Barros passa a limpo meio século da história nacional e reconstrói a trajetória da mais amada e mais odiada de nossas agremiações políticas.

In this book, Joe Albanese observes that when the Electoral College was established in 1787, there were no daily newspapers, and it took weeks for important news to reach the public. Moreover, the nation had just obtained its independence after a brutal war. The author lays out the pros and cons of the Electoral College system, making the case that how we elect our president runs contrary to principles of an equal democratic government. He also answers questions such as: Does the Electoral College system pose a danger to democracy? Why has the concept of one person, one vote been overlooked?

The untold story of how propaganda and power struggles toppled the Roman Republic – once the world’s most powerful democracy. In 49BC, Caesar crossed the Rubicon and Rome fell into a brutal civil war. The institutions that gave its people a voice crumbled and, after the dust settled, Rome...

Lawfare has been with us since the inception of the country. Both Democrat and Republican prosecutors and investigating agents have misused their authority to pursue otherwise innocent victims over time. But with the arrival of Hillary Clinton at the White House, the practice was refined in tandem with her efforts to pursue all those who offered public criticism about her husband and the Clinton Administration. Her "war rooms" in the White House, the Senate, and at the State Department sowed the seeds for ongoing corruption within the Department of Justice.

But behind the headlines lies a darker story – of targeted campaigns, smear tactics and relentless attacks on those who don't fit the Murdoch mould. From LGBTQI communities and women's rights advocates to progressive politicians, human rights defenders and even conservatives deemed 'not right enough', Getting Murdoched: How Murdoch's Media Wields Power and Punishment exposes how dissent is silenced and reputations destroyed.

Philadelphia wakes early on Election Day. Before dawn, the city's neighborhood ward offices hum with quiet anticipation. Coffee pots percolate, envelopes get sealed, and folded bills slip from one hand to another. At corner diners, conversations sound routine, about jobs, the Eagles, the price of groceries, but just under the surface, something else is moving. The machine is alive. This is street money, the unspoken currency of Philadelphia politics. For decades, it has powered campaigns, shaped outcomes, and sustained one of the nation's oldest political traditions.

La Psicología de la Construcción nace de una pregunta sencilla, pero rara vez abordada: en un sector tan técnico como la construcción, ¿por qué el factor humano sigue siendo aquello que con más frecuencia hace que un proyecto avance—o colapse—? Basado en experiencias reales de obra, conversaciones de contenedor, conflictos silenciosos, decisiones difíciles y pequeños gestos cotidianos, este libro explora la dimensión psicológica, emocional y ética de quienes construyen.

You can make a positive impact through politics NOW. The sneaky secret of politics is that the people on the inside want it to look complicated so you’ll leave it to them. When you see politicians on TV, you’re seeing the perfectly polished version of what they want you to see. Neil Thanedar...

Deutschland steht an einem Wendepunkt: Sind wir bereit, für Frieden, Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung Verantwortung zu übernehmen und Konsequenzen zu ziehen – politisch, diplomatisch und militärisch? Er analysiert Versäumnisse, benennt bequeme Narrative und zeigt, warum und welche Reformen jetzt notwendig sind. Zwischen technologischem Wandel, globalen Krisen und einer kaum verteidigungsbereiten Bundeswehr entwirft Kiesewetter zwei gegenläufige Zukunftsbilder: Werden wir zum handlungsfähigen Akteur – oder überlassen wir unsere Zukunft fremden Mächten?
