What is normal? And more importantly… who decided that for you? From the moment you are born, expectations are already in place. How you should live, how you should look, what you should achieve. Most people never question it. They follow what feels natural. But what feels natural is often just repetition.

To My Black Friend is a heartfelt plea for responsibility, repair, and the work before us. This book speaks directly to the challenges facing the Black community—not from a place of condemnation, but from a place of urgency, love, and truth. It acknowledges the reality of systemic injustice, generational trauma, and historical burden, while also calling for disciplined homes, stronger internal standards, accountable leadership, and intentional rebuilding. This is not a political argument. It is a moral and cultural call to action.

In einer schweren Krise wurde die NSDAP 1932 zur mit Abstand stärksten Partei gewählt. Bald konnte sie die Macht übernehmen und auf wachsende gesellschaftliche Zustimmung bauen. Hitler brauchte den Krieg – das Volk fürchtete sich davor. Dennoch terrorisierten schließlich 18 Millionen deutsche Soldaten Europa. Wie kam es dazu? Warum beteiligten sich Hunderttausende an beispiellosen Massenmorden? Tiefgründig analysiert Götz Aly die Herrschaftsmethoden, mit denen die NS-Machthaber Millionen Deutsche in gefügige Vollstrecker oder in vom Krieg abgestumpfte Mitmacher verwandelten.

Distance between the people struggling to stay afloat and the systems shaping their lives. This book is not an attack on capitalism. It does not argue that wealth is immoral, that success requires apology, or that higher taxes alone will fix what feels broken. Markets work. Wealth creation matters. Incentives shape behavior.

ABUNDANCE IS COMING. THE QUESTION IS WHO IT'S COMING FOR. Artificial intelligence is not just automating tasks. It is reshaping the economic foundations of society. Jobs that took years to master are now done in minutes. Productivity is accelerating beyond the limits of human labor. And the institutions built on the assumption that people must produce value to earn a living are beginning to crack. What happens to work when machines do it better? What happens to wealth when productivity no longer depends on human effort?

What happens when Boomers and Gen Z finally sit at the same table, only to realise they've been speaking different languages all along?

In Song for a Hard-Hit People, Beth Howard shares her story of growing up in Appalachian Kentucky—the economic struggles, trauma, and ever-present sexism along with the loving care of her close-knit rural community. These complex people shaped Howard’s sense of justice and solidarity, and taught her about the inextricable bonds working-class people share, despite our differences. But her childhood also left her with emotional wounds that threatened to destroy the life she built for herself.
