Analysant les régimes totalitaires, le livre est un avertissement contre la socialisation de l’économie qui selon Hayek pousse les citoyens sur la route de la servitude et conduit les démocraties occidentales à de graves dérives, jusqu'à la dictature d'une minorité sur le peuple. Le livre est un fervent plaidoyer en faveur des régimes libéraux. " La tendance moderne vers le socialisme signifie une rupture brutale non seulement avec le passé récent mais encore avec toute l’évolution de la civilisation occidentale […].

Capitalism didn’t fail, it was ruined. What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma’s account is not like any you will have heard before. He says progressives are right, in part, when they mock modern capitalism as “socialism for the rich.” For a century, governments have expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending to regulation and the scale of financial rescues when the economy wobbles. The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone—bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor.

In this international history of Reconstruction, Don Doyle chronicles the world events inspired by the Civil War. Between 1865 and 1870, France withdrew from Mexico, Russia sold Alaska to the US, and Britain proclaimed the new state of Canada.

From the author of When America Stopped Being Great, an insightful and urgent reassessment of America’s past, present and future – as a country which is forever at war with itself. Nick Bryant explains how the hate, divisiveness and paranoia we see today are in fact a core part of America’s story. Combining brilliant storytelling, historical research and first-hand reportage, Bryant argues that insurrections, massacres and civil disturbances should sadly not be seen as abnormalities; they are a part of the fabric of the history of America.

e grandi crisi globali oggi passano per l’Italia, perché è il campo di battaglia per le trasformazioni del XXI secolo. Non è la prima volta nella Storia che la nostra Penisola, nel bel mezzo del Mediterraneo, diventa l’epicentro di contese strategiche e rivalità economiche, ma la simultaneità fra ricostruzione europea, populismo, affermazione di nuovi diritti, duello fra Stati Uniti e Cina, competizione fra potenze nel Mediterraneo e ritorno della minaccia jihadista ci assegna un ruolo inatteso sul palcoscenico internazionale.

Are the values that Americans collectively hold destroying the American Dream? The answer to that question depends upon the answers to some very specific questions. What do we as citizens of the United States believe we owe to one another as citizens? What is the purpose of government? What is of the role of the private enterprise? What is the meaning of equal opportunity? To what extent should purely economic concerns be regulated in the public interest?

On November 5, 2024, America will enter a gate of history that will open for us a new era of freedom and prosperity or a swift decline into irreversible tyranny. The hopes and dreams of millions of struggling Americans and the destiny of our children and grandchildren hang in the balance. Our two most cherished liberties enshrined in the first amendment of the Constitution—freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion—are under ravenous assault by wolves who seek to smite the shepherd, scatter the sheepdogs and devour the sheep.

Preserving Democracy tries to reimagine issues differently. Rather than seeing Democracy as defeating the opposition with fifty percent plus one, the core of Democracy is listening to everyone and building the most extensive consensus possible. Everyone has a say. The way to get what you want is to convince people, not defeat them.

What if the American experiment is twofold, encompassing both democracy and tyranny? That is the question at the core of this book, which traces some of ways that Americans across the nineteenth century understood the perversions tyranny introduced into both their polity and society.

Con su sonrisa forzada y su inocultable asquito a los pobres, los derechairos salen a las calles a expresar su inconformidad por los demonios comunistas que solo aparecen en sus pesadillas, mítines y borracheras; como no se les da la simulación lloran cual desoladas Magdalenas por las injusticias que laceran al país y la violencia sin freno; así, los próceres de antaño.

In The Court v. The Voters, law professor Josh Douglas takes us behind the scenes of significant cases in voting rights—some surprising and unknown and some familiar—to investigate the historic crossroads that have changed our elections, and therefore the nation, irrevocably. In crisp and accessible prose, Douglas tells the story of each case, sheds light on the intractable election problems we face as a result, and highlights the unique role the highest court has played in shaping not only our elections but the very essence of the right to vote.

In the great revolutionary year of 1968, Tony Benn was a respectable Labour minister in his forties, and he was restless. While new social movements were shaking up Britain and much of the world, Westminster politics seemed stuck. It was time, he decided, for a different approach. Over the next half century, the radicalized Benn helped forge a new left in Britain. He was joined by four other politicians, who would become comrades, collaborators and rivals: Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn.

Feuer offers a new approach to addressing these questions with a strategy for improving the process and substance of civic education.
