L'accelerazionismo è Legione: proprio come il demone biblico, esso è una miriade di forze contrastanti, uno spettro multiforme che aspetta di incarnarsi e gridare il proprio nome. Non è una via d'uscita dal capitalismo, né un'alternativa valida in cui sperare: è soprattutto una nuova e radicale modalità di vivere il presente e le sue infinite contraddizioni".

¿Dónde están las verdaderas amenazas a la libertad de expresión? ¿Se está criminalizando la protesta? En los últimos tiempos saltan a la prensa noticias como la censura del cartel de una exposición de Egon Schiele, se genera debate en torno a un cuadro de Balthus o a la "Lolita" de Nabokov... ¿Nos invade una oleada de neopuritanismo? ¿Se instaura el triunfo de la corrección política? ¿Asistimos a un cambio de paradigma moral, al triunfo de la censura y la autocensura? ¿O acaso lo que se está produciendo es una descalificación y hasta criminalización de la protesta?

El mundo parece más conectado que nunca, pero la soledad se extiende como una epidemia. ¿Cuál es el efecto que tiene en nosotros y cómo podemos tratarla, incluso en la distancia? En este audiolibro revolucionario, el autor, Vivek Murthy -que fue cirujano general de Estados Unidos con Barack Obama- defiende que la soledad constituye un problema de salud pública y no es casualidad que en algunos países los gobiernos la hayan incorporado a sus agendas de trabajo.

It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid is a crucial part of powerful movements for social justice, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, how to foster a collective decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout.

The Last Days of New York: A reporter’s true tale tells the story of how a corrupted political system hollowed out New York City, leaving it especially vulnerable, all in the name of equity and “fairness”. When, in the future, people ask how New York City fell to pieces, they can be told - quoting Hemingway - “gradually, then suddenly”.

Violente, puissante, aveugle, destructrice... Pour beaucoup, la foule est une menace incontrôlable, un danger. Mais elle peut aussi faire preuve d'intelligence collective. Dans les laboratoires, les biologistes, les physiciens, les psychologues cherchent à percer son mystère. Quelles règles dictent les mouvements de foule ? Qu'est-ce qui explique les bousculades meurtrières ? Pourquoi le comportement des piétons diffère-t-il d'un pays à l'autre ? Peut-on comparer les Hommes à des bancs de poissons ?

By 2016, it was impossible to ignore an international resurgence of xenophobia. What had happened? Looking for clues, psychiatrist and historian George Makari started out in search of the idea’s origins. To his astonishment, he discovered an unfolding series of never-told stories. While a fear and hatred of strangers may be ancient, he found that the notion of a dangerous bias called “xenophobia” arose not so long ago.

Arbeit ist der Kern unserer modernen Gesellschaften. Das hat die Corona-Krise eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Doch warum überlassen wir ihr einen so großen Teil unseres Lebens? Und warum arbeiten wir immer mehr, obwohl wir so viel produzieren wie noch nie? Entspricht das unserer Natur? Warum fühlen sich dann immer mehr Menschen überlastet und ausgebrannt? James Suzman legt eine andere Geschichte der Menschheit vor, die zeigt, wie die Arbeit von uns Besitz ergreifen konnte.

“Organizations” exist across different scales - molecules, viruses, single cells, multi-cellular living beings, and business firms. Building on the knowledge developed in basic sciences and social sciences, we present a framework to understand the similarities in the long-term strategies of all organizations. These similarities also guide the actions of both humans and groups of humans - companies, social movements, and countries.

The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin was published in 1917. Lenin's definition of the State is “a special organisation of force: it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of a class." Quoting Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, Lenin investigates theoretical questions about the role and functions of the State in society after the proletarian revolution. He addresses the arguments of anarchists, reformists and social democrats, claiming that a social democratic system cannot establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. His most famous work, The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions (1899), is a treatise on economics and a social critique of consumption and of consumerism, based on the social stratification of people and the division of labor. This work is in the tradition of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and is rightly considered a classic of economic theory and social history.

From the late 19th century through the 1930s, scholars of politics defined and continually reoriented their field in response to the political imperatives of the racial order at home and abroad as well to as the vagaries of race science. The Gilded Age scholars who founded the first university departments and journals located sovereignty and legitimacy in a "Teutonic germ" of liberty planted in the new world by Anglo-Saxon settlers and almost extinguished in the conflict over slavery.

Malthus predicted a grim future with geometrical population growth, versus food production that increases only arithmetically. He claimed that this would result in famine and starvation unless births were controlled.
