Why are so many of the aspirations that shape modern life seen as necessary, even when they no longer seem to mean very much? The Bourgeoisie Problem explores how modern society has come to organise itself around the anxieties, ambitions, and quiet pressures of the middle class, and what this has done to the way we live. Written by a social theorist exploring culture, status, and power in contemporary life, this book looks closely at the structures we move through every day, and the forces that shape them.

John Mappin is a sentinel of sovereignty, a modern mythmaker, and, willingly or not, a hero at history’s crossroads. From his defiant refusal to turn Camelot into a migrant-processing hotel to his prophetic wager on Donald Trump’s rise, Mappin has become a lightning rod for global battles; nationhood versus globalism, courage versus conformity, truth versus the psychiatric priesthood of lies. His close relationship with Charlie Kirk, his friendship with Candace Owens, and his associations with figures such as Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage show how his influence reaches across continents.

The Wisdom teacher OM C. Parkin offers an astonishing and comprehensive view of the digital age. He shows that the fear of limitation, of human mortality, which manifests itself in the individual fear of death, leads to an inflationary preoccupation with the insignificant. As we immerse ourselves in the ever-accelerating virtual world, our souls become lost and humanity moves further and further away from the true desire for knowledge.

La pandemia de covid-19 parece hoy lejana; incluso hay quienes afirman que es historia pasada. Pero si bien la “nueva normalidad” nos ha permitido retomar la vida de manera prácticamente idéntica a como era antes de 2020, las secuelas emocionales, espirituales y sociales son muy evidentes hay duelos que aún no sanan; vivimos más conectados con la tecnología, pero más aislados unos de otros; la desigualdad se agudizó en todo el mundo. Y por si fuera poco, existe la siempre latente posibilidad de una nueva pandemia. Ante este escenario, Marcelo Rittner nos invita a la reflexión.

Political literacy can be compared to smart shopping. Increasing one's political awareness is like reading the ingredient labels in the grocery store. It gives people a better sense the relevance, accessibility, and potential of political agency on a personal level. This serious, sometimes alarming, but always empowering book offers insight into the benefits to both individuals and societies of cultivating greater political literacy.

What does a good prison look like? Over eleven million people are currently locked up in prisons across the world, but does that mean that prison actually works? Hindpal Singh Bhui, with 25 years’ experience of visiting and working in prisons worldwide, argues that we need to look at who is sent there and why, to disentangle reality from ideology and myth. Introducing the competing histories of prisons and allowing the voices of prisoners, prison staff and victims to be heard, he asks whether there is a better way to achieve what society wants from its prisons.

Mit seiner Schrift "Die Kernpunkte der sozialen Frage" aus dem Jahre 1919 reagiert Steiner auf die Krise des modernen Bewusstseins, die in den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im Ersten Weltkrieg ihren destruktiven Ausdruck gefunden hat. Er schlägt einen spirituell begründeten Ansatz zur Lösung der sozialen Frage vor, der als ein dritter Weg zwischen Sozialismus und Kapitalismus verstanden werden kann.

The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval.

Veinticinco años después de la publicación de su primer libro, Malcolm Gladwell retoma las lecciones de El punto clave con la intención de iniciar un debate difícil sobre las epidemias.
