After five years of ground-breaking research, Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom share some unexpected answers, gripping stories, and a tapestry of unlikely connections. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: traditional “spiders,” which have a rigid hierarchy and top-down leadership, and revolutionary “starfish,” which rely on the power of peer relationships. The Starfish and the Spider explores what happens when starfish take on spiders (such as the music industry vs. Napster, Kazaa, and the P2P services that followed).

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. How do we ensure that everyone has good health and is cared for when in need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a healthy environment now and for future generations? Ultimately, she shows that solving the fundamental problems of poverty and equality would enhance the quality of life for us all.

Rapoartele aveau la origine niște articole publicate de Proiectul pentru Raportarea Crimei Organizate și Corupției (OCCRP), un consorțiu neobosit și neînfricat de jurnaliști din toată Europa de Est, care au expus două așa-numite „spălătorii" – scheme sofisticate de spălare a miliarde de euro. În ambele cazuri, infractorii se foloseau de companii britanice fictive pentru a-și ascunde identitatea și de Danske Bank pentru a-și transfera banii.

Violence is often described as a social issue, a moral failing, or an innate human instinct. But in fact, argues Dr. Gary Slutkin, violence is a contagion that infects a society like a disease. This isn't a metaphor. In THE END OF VIOLENCE, Dr. Slutkin draws on the expertise gleaned from 40+ years on the frontlines fighting deadly epidemics to reveal that violence operates according to the same predictable logic as every other contagious disease, initially infecting a small number of carriers then spreading from host to host.

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.

Dès le xviiie siècle apparaît l’idée que les citoyens peuvent, en unissant leurs efforts individuels, infléchir les tendances délétères de la société. Depuis, ce mouvement n’a cessé de grandir et d’étendre ses prérogatives. Aux causes de justice sociale se sont désormais ajoutées les luttes contre la dégradation de l’environnement, pour les circuits courts, contre la souffrance animale, pour l’éthique dans les échanges, etc.

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.

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

In this devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past 30 years, Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and more. This is an empirical study in which “politically correct” theory is repeatedly confronted with facts, and the sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

Patchwork-Familien, Globalisierung, soziale Ungleichheit oder Einwanderung – unsere Gesellschaft wandelt sich heute schneller und tiefgreifender als je zuvor.

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

What if the Western world does not have its ultimate origins in a single cultural bloodline but rather a messy bramble of ancestors and influences? As battles over privilege, identity and prejudice rock the cultural wars, it's never been more important to understand how the concept of The West came to be. This book tells a bold, empowering new story of how the idea of the West was created, how it has been used to justify imperialism and racism, and also why it's still a powerful ideological tool to understand our world.

The concept of identity has become widespread within the social and behavioral sciences, cutting across disciplines from psychiatry and psychology to political science and sociology. Introduced more than fifty years ago, identity theory is a social psychological theory that attempts to understand person's identities, their sources in interaction and society, their processes of operation, and their consequences for interaction and society from a sociological perspective.

Throughout the twentieth century, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism was regarded as an important sociological and economic text, continuing into the twenty-first century, when extreme capitalism has continued to come under fire. Weber's work provided a history, from where the profit motive could be ethically justified. Max Weber combined his interests in sociology, political economy and history to give perspective to his analysis. Concentrating principally on the experience of the West, he returned to the time when religion, its concepts and practice, dominated society.

Este libro surge de la inversión de la pregunta que ordenaba un proyecto intelectual. En el lapso entre 1998 y 2004, Peter Sloterdijk (Karlsruhe, 1947) gesta, en el monumental proyecto Esferas, su apuesta más vasta para explicar la historia de la humanidad indagando en el carácter pneumático de toda comunidad. Guiaba su mano la siguiente hipótesis: los seres humanos, para estar en el mundo, no hacen sino crear e insuflar incesantemente un espacio para vivir juntos.

David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx's stated ambition for this text is to reveal "the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society."

Der größte Nutzen, den die Einführung des Sozialismus brächte, liegt ohne Zweifel darin, dass der Sozialismus uns von der schmutzigen Notwendigkeit, für andere zu leben, befreite, die beim jetzigen Stand der Dinge so schwer auf fast allen Menschen lastet. Es entgeht ihr in der Tat fast niemand. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) war ein irischer Schriftsteller, der sich nach Schulzeit und Studium in Dublin und Oxford in London niederließ.
