In Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus (1904/05) untersucht Max Weber den Einfluss religiöser Überzeugungen – insbesondere des Calvinismus und Puritanismus – auf die Entstehung der modernen kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsordnung. Mit scharfer Analyse verbindet Weber Theologie, Wirtschaftsgeschichte und Soziologie zu einem der bedeutendsten Klassiker der Sozialwissenschaften. Ein wegweisendes Werk über die Verbindung von Glaube, Arbeit, Rationalisierung und kapitalistischer Entwicklung – bis heute hochaktuell und kontrovers diskutiert.

From the schoolyard to the workplace, from political rallies to social media feeds, we are constantly influenced by the groups around us. Sometimes that influence is benign, even beneficial—it helps communities function, ensures cooperation, and keeps social life flowing smoothly. At other times, it can lead to silence in the face of injustice, blind obedience to authority, or the chilling grip of groupthink. Why We Conform explores this paradox in depth, revealing why the desire to fit in runs so deep, how it shapes our daily lives, and what happens when it goes too far.

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.

In 1890s America Thorstein Veblen attacked a careless acceptance of prevailing social structures, identifying ancient roots for ‘pecuniary culture’ and ‘conspicuous consumption’–realities that promoted materialism and squashed fulfilment. In The Theory of the Leisure Class the worthy Engineer, creating essential products for all, is pitted against the predatory Businessman, exempt from grubby industrial toil and focussed on useless profits.

Desde mediados del siglo XX, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado en occidente de veinte a treinta años, lo que equivale a toda una existencia en el siglo XVII. Así pues, al llegar a los cincuenta años, experimentamos una suerte de suspensión entre la madurez y la vejez, un intervalo en el que la brevedad de la vida realmente comienza, mientras nos planteamos las grandes cuestiones de nuestra condición.

Critical race theory (CRT), a vital movement and discipline in American legal scholarship, has transformed our understanding of systemic racism. Yet despite insightful analysis revealing the threads of racism embedded in American institutions and society, it has been demonized by opponents at every turn. The Origins of Critical Race Theory weaves together the many sources of critical race theory, recounting the origin story for one of the most insightful and controversial academic movements in U.S. history.

Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why.

We live in an age of dazzling technological advancement. Every year brings breakthroughs that transform how we communicate, work, and live. From artificial intelligence to quantum computing, technology is leaping forward at an almost incomprehensible pace. Yet, amidst this rapid progress, another truth emerges: our socio-economic systems, political frameworks, and ethical paradigms seem to lag behind, as if frozen in time. The contrast is striking. While our devices grow smarter, our societal structures remain riddled with inefficiencies and inequities.
