A bold case for reimagining the American project and making American democracy real—from a formidable new voice in political journalism.

Die Republik ist nervös und zerstritten - und sie sieht sich stärker werdenden inneren und äußeren Feinden gegenüber. In einer Zeit, in der autoritäre Regime weltweit an Einfluss gewinnen, sehnen sich viele Menschen nach einem Konservatismus, der sowohl das Land stabilisiert als auch den Autoritären die Stirn bietet. Aber ist der neue Kanzler ein solcher Konservativer?

Ele se chama Antonio Carlos de Almeida Castro, mas é conhecido como Kakay e assim se apresenta, assim assina seus artigos, assim é identificado em suas entrevistas na televisão, assim é apontado por onde anda, Brasília, São Paulo, Rio, Lisboa ou Paris. Não é o maior e mais rico superadvogado brasileiro, mas é o mais conhecido e, desde os últimos quatro anos, o que mais se notabilizou pela defesa da democracia, no mais trágico momento de nossa História. Kakay não tem vários andares em um prédio, com salas entupidas com 100 ou 200 advogados.

Is America's future as bright as its past? What's Right With America argues that not only is the answer "Yes," but the nation's most incredible days are yet to come. Despite the challenges and divisions we face, America's true strength lies in its core principles and the resilient spirit of its people.

Die ewige Schlacht ist ein philosophisch-politisches Hörbuch über die tief verwurzelten Ursachen des Krieges. Es geht nicht nur um Geopolitik oder Armeen, sondern um Denkweisen, Strukturen, ökonomische Interessen und kulturelle Narrative, die seit Jahrhunderten Gewalt ermöglichen – und rechtfertigen. In zwanzig thematisch klar gegliederten Kapiteln führt der Autor Holger Elias die Hörer:innen durch ein breites Panorama der Kriegsursachen.

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.

In 2024, award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats, and pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first.

Das Erstarken der politischen Ränder, Identitätspolitik, Migration, die Einschränkungen der Meinungsfreiheit und die Corona-Politik haben das Vertrauen in die Demokratie ausgehöhlt: Wolfgang Kubicki packt die drängendsten politischen Themen unserer Zeit bei der Wurzel und zeigt schonungslos auf, welche politischen Entscheidungen zum Verlust des Freiheitsgefühls geführt haben. Sein neues Buch ist eine liberale Kampfansage, ein Aufruf zur Rückkehr zu echten demokratischen Werten und zum Kampf für die Freiheit—auch wenn sie mit unbequemen Debatten verbunden ist.

What if the greatest threat to America isn’t foreign—but already holding office? In this eye-opening and unapologetic exposé, Ryan Reading pulls back the curtain on the slow decay of modern democracy. The Best Way to Ruin a Country isn't just another political commentary—it’s a brutal indictment of how complacency, media manipulation, broken education systems, and backdoor deals have allowed corruption to infect every level of government.

Lisa Murkowski has repeatedly stood at the center of our nation’s most challenging issues, serving as a swing vote and a voice willing to challenge the president, regardless of who holds the office. In this candid memoir that offers hope for a functional Washington, she guides listeners through the defining events of her more than twenty-year career.

Zwei der angesehensten Journalisten Amerikas liefern eine schonungslose und dramatische Abrechnung mit einer der schicksalhaftesten Entscheidungen der amerikanischen Politikgeschichte: Joe Bidens Kandidatur zur Wiederwahl – trotz Anzeichen seines körperlichen und kognitiven Verfalls, trotz verzweifelter Bemühungen, das Ausmaß seines Zustands zu verbergen. Jetzt kommt zum ersten Mal die ganze, beunruhigende Wahrheit ans Licht.

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.

What if we could redefine leadership? What if kindness came first? Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she commanded global respect for her empathetic leadership that put people first. This is the remarkable story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our assumptions of what a global leader can be.

Die alte Weltordnung zerbröselt, befeuert durch den neuen US-Präsidenten Donald Trump. Er zettelt Handelskriege an, untergräbt multilaterale Bündnisse und schleift die Schutzmechanismen der amerikanischen Demokratie. Als Systemsprenger betreibt Trump den Rückfall in eine Welt, in der jeder Nationalstaat nur auf den besten Deal aus ist und unsere Werte keine Rolle spielen. Elmar Theveßen entwirft in diesem Buch das düstere Szenario vom Abgleiten in einen Autoritarismus, der uns alle bedroht.

In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, news spread about Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page document published by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The debates—and anxiety—surrounding this initiative have only increased as authors of the Project assume positions of power in the second Trump administration. So, what is Project 2025, exactly? Who wrote it, what does it actually say, and what does it mean for everyday people around the world, across the political spectrum, in the years to come?
