Nézd a rettenetes huszadik századot! Hogy győztek, hogy diadalmaskodtak a »mindig erős, mert központosított« diktatúrák. Hol vannak ma már? Győzött »a legkisebb királyfi«; győztek a mindig »gyönge«, mindig válsággal küzdő, ezer szempont közt a kompromisszumot kereső individualista demokráciák. Igen, a népmesének igaza van: mindig győz a jó.

What happens to American democracy if Christianity is no longer able, or no longer willing, to perform the functions on which our constitutional order depends? In this provocative book, the award-winning journalist Jonathan Rauch—a lifelong atheist—reckons candidly with both the shortcomings of secularism and the corrosion of Christianity. Thin Christianity, as Rauch calls the mainline church, has been unable to inspire and retain believers.

You have more power than you think—to ignite real change in America. Millions of Americans feel ignored by a government that no longer seems to listen. Popular policies stall, money drowns out public voices, and the system feels rigged—regardless of who holds office. The question isn’t whether we need change. It’s how.

Phocion (402-318 BCE) won Athens's highest public office by direct democratic election an unmatched forty-five times and was officially honored as a "Useful Citizen." A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled.

Outside of the progressive academics and activists whose ideology came to dominate the West in the second decade of the twenty-first century, arguably no group influenced public discourse as much as the Intellectual Dark Web.

«Abbiamo tutti in mente la tipica immagine di uno stato autocratico. C'è un cattivo al vertice, che controlla l'esercito e la polizia. L'esercito e la polizia minacciano il popolo con la violenza. Ci sono collaboratori malvagi, e magari qualche coraggioso dissidente.» Tuttavia, per Anne Applebaum, saggista e vincitrice del premio Pulitzer, questa convinzione diffusa altro non è che un anacronismo. Nel XXI secolo, infatti, una simile rappresentazione delle Autocrazie ha scarsa attinenza con la realtà e per di più ne ignora del tutto l'evoluzione.

En este libro Jacobo Dayán hace un espléndido recorrido por estos años neurálgicos, revisando los principales acontecimientos históricos, pero sobre todo atendiendo a las manifestaciones sociales, artísticas e intelectuales que se desarrollaron en la Alemania de entreguerras, pues encuentra en ellas el pulso vivo de la época y las claves para entender la caída de Weimar. Además, entender ese trágico final —nos dice— tiene una importancia apremiante hoy en día, en un mundo que presenta muchos de los síntomas de aquella época convulsa: intolerancia, sectarismo, radicalización.
