American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

In stilistisch brillanter Prosa denkt Montaigne über das menschliche Maß, die Grenzen des Wissens und das Wesen des guten Lebens nach. Seine Reflexionen sind zugänglich, zeitlos und überraschend modern.

In "Zur Psychologie des Geldes" untersucht Georg Simmel die vielschichtige Rolle des Geldes im sozialen und individuellen Leben. Das Werk gehört zu den einflussreichsten Schriften der frühen Soziologie und entfaltet auf brillante Weise, wie Geld soziale Beziehungen, Werte und Identität prägt.

Ha introdotto la presenza delle masse nella storia, la nozione di opinione pubblica e la produzione del consenso, aprendo la strada alla psicologia sociale e diventando un riferimento per la sociologia della comunicazione.

Le folle sono una forza distruttiva, priva di visione d'insieme e indisciplinata, quindi facilmente orientabile.

Sembra ormai chiaro che il mondo che verrà, anzi il mondo che si sta già delineando, ci obbligherà a rinunciare a tanti privilegi o semplici abitudini. Quello che invece sarà meno immediato è come alzarci dal «comodo divano» su cui gran parte dell'Occidente riposa da tempo e tornare, come facevano i nostri antenati, esploratori. Come si esce dalla comfort zone a cui siamo assuefatti? E cosa siamo disposti a sacrificare in cambio di una vita avventurosa e dinamica?
