Was will die deutsche Seele – und gibt es sie überhaupt? Bernd Stegemann, eine der umstrittensten Stimmen in den politischen Debatten unserer Zeit, zeigt in diesem Buch erstmals seine biografischen Wunden.

Pouquíssimos intelectuais e comentaristas políticos tinham tanta certeza quanto Jessé Souza de que o impeachment da presidenta Dilma Rousseff se tratava da fachada perfeita para um típico golpe de Estado à moda brasileira. Naquele momento alarmante da política nacional, Jessé Souza cumpriu uma difícil tarefa: explicar como a “cultura de golpes de Estado”, promovida historicamente pela elite contra as políticas públicas de inclusão dos mais pobres – como aconteceu com Getúlio Vargas e João Goulart –, estava em franca atuação sem que a população se desse conta disso.

No campo intelectual, este audiolivro é responsável por fincar, no terreno imperturbado de nosso pensamento social, uma crítica contundente às ideias de cordialidade e patrimonialismo como nunca antes fora feita. São essas ideias que fundamentam a visão elitista de que o brasileiro pobre é inconfiável, eleitor de corruptos e moralmente questionável, ao passo que os ricos e estrangeiros são valorosos, empreendedores e naturalmente prósperos.

Did the Covid-19 lockdowns and mandates serve society’s best interests? Science alone can’t answer the question. Philosophers have important things to say about it. So do psychologists, economists, novelists, and lawyers.

Peter Frase argues that increasing automation and a growing scarcity of resources, thanks to climate change, will bring it all tumbling down. In Four Futures, Frase imagines how this postcapitalist world might look, deploying the tools of both social science and speculative fiction to explore what communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism might actually entail.

In this eye-opening book, renowned economist Alex Edmans teaches us how to separate fact from fiction. Using colorful examples—from a wellness guru's tragic but fabricated backstory to the blunders that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster to the diet that ensnared millions yet hastened its founder's death—Edmans highlights the biases that cause us to mistake statements for facts, facts for data, data for evidence, and evidence for proof.
