From poverty and policing, homelessness and overrun prisons to Grenfell and hostile environments, Britain has long been failing those who need our help the most. There is arguably one unifying theme that links all these afflictions: proximity.

Almost every job requires a level of experience and training with the notable exception of the most powerful people in the country—our political class.

Come può una società signorile essere anche di massa? Con questa paradossale definizione, Luca Ricolfi introduce una nuova, forse definitiva, categoria interpretativa, che scardina le idee correnti sulla società in cui viviamo. Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia d'Italia, ricorrono insieme tre condizioni: il numero di cittadini che non lavorano ha superato ampiamente il numero di cittadini che lavorano; l'accesso ai consumi opulenti ha raggiunto una larga parte della popolazione; l'economia è entrata in stagnazione e la produttività è ferma da vent'anni.

A los 28 años, los planes de Stephanie Land de liberarse de las raíces de su ciudad natal, en el noroeste de la costa del Pacífico, para perseguir sus sueños de ir a la universidad y convertirse en escritora, se vieron truncados cuando una aventura de verano se convirtió en un embarazo inesperado. Se dedicó a la limpieza para llegar a fin de mes, y con un control tenaz de su sueño de brindarle a su hija la mejor vida posible, Stephanie trabajó durante el día y tomó clases en línea para obtener un título universitario y comenzó a escribir sin descanso.

En este ensayo global se ponen de presente temas de una actualidad apabullante. Los propagandistas de este capitalismo tardío nos quieren hacer creer que no tenemos alternativas para él, lo cual es un embuste visto desde la perspectiva histórica. Todo sistema, toda cultura, toda civilización ha tenido un fin y de sus propias entrañas ha surgido un nuevo mundo. El colapso de una civilización no significa el colapso de la humanidad.

A ralé brasileira: quem é e como vive, clássico do pensamento social brasileiro, confere visibilidade à “ralé brasileira”, uma “classe social” jamais percebida enquanto “classe” entre nós, ou seja, nunca percebida como possuindo uma gênese social e um destino comum, e vista apenas como “conjuntos de indivíduos” carentes ou perigosos.
