While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don’t fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or return to FDR’s Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

Demokratie und Wohlstand, ein längeres Leben, mehr Gleichberechtigung und Bildung: Der Kapitalismus hat viel Positives bewirkt. Zugleich ruiniert er jedoch Klima und Umwelt, sodass die Menschheit nun existenziell gefährdet ist. "Grünes Wachstum" soll die Rettung sein, aber Wirtschaftsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Ulrike Herrmann hält dagegen: Verständlich und messerscharf erklärt sie in ihrem neuen Hörbuch, warum wir stattdessen "grünes Schrumpfen" brauchen. Die Klimakrise verschärft sich täglich, aber konkret ändert sich fast nichts.

How a notorious far right organization set the Republican Party on a long march toward extremism At the height of the John Birch Society’s activity in the 1960s, critics dismissed its members as a paranoid fringe. After all, “Birchers” believed that a vast communist conspiracy existed...

This is volume two—what Henry George called "the Solution to the Problem". This landmark treatise by the great economist Henry George was first published in 1879. George's work became the seminal analysis of the political economy which inspired most, if not all, the prominent thinkers of the Progressive Movement and many others of great influence: Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw, Friedrich Hayek, H. G. Wells, Clarence Darrow, and Leo Tolstoy, to name but a few. His analyses and proposals are referred to as "Georgism".

Capitalism has blessed the world with wealth and technological miracles. It has also cursed it with urban slums, powerless workers, and the vicious boom-and-bust economy. If only there were some way to fix the problems of capitalism and keep all its benefits. In 1897, Henry George published his solution to this puzzle, Progress and Poverty. He suggested that, unlike all other taxes, a tax on land doesn't discourage entrepreneurship. A single tax on land can raise the revenues we need to help the poor without destroying the incentive to create wealth.

Eine essentielle Fibel über Kapitalismus, Politik und die Funktionsweise der Welt, basierend auf der sehr beliebten Vorlesungsreihe "Was ist Politik?" Gibt es eine Alternative zum Kapitalismus? In diesem bahnbrechenden Text zeichnen Chomsky und Waterstone eine kritische Landkarte für eine gerechtere und nachhaltigere Gesellschaft.

Imperier reser sig, går ner, och faller. Historien har bevittnat denna cykel med romarna, ottomanerna, och britterna. De har alla störtats, och om vi inte är försiktiga kommer USA att bli näst.

Gli imperi sorgono, declinano e cadono. La storia ha testimoniato questo ciclo con i romani, gli ottomani e gli inglesi. Sono tutti crollati e, se non stiamo attenti, gli Stati Uniti saranno i prossimi. Molte delle imprese di oggi sono un branco di rane dell'ingegneria finanziaria estrema, dipendenti dal debito, che galleggiano nell'olio di serpente tiepido. Sfortunatamente, molte troveranno la loro fine nelle grinfie degli avvoltoi della proprietà intellettuale.

Das Sachbuch "Kapitalismus und Freiheit" zählt zu den anerkanntesten wirtschaftspolitischen Werken unserer Zeit. Der amerikanische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Milton Friedman setzt sich darin mit der Bedeutung von wirtschaftlicher Freiheit für die politische Unabhängigkeit des Menschen in der modernen Gesellschaft auseinander. Die hier vorliegende Auflage enthält neben einem nachträglich verfassten Vorwort von Milton Friedman auch Anmerkungen des bekannten deutschen Ökonomen Horst Siebert.

"In capitalist society work is the cause of all intellectual degeneracy, of all organic deformity." This essay raises interesting questions: is work really a virtue? Isn't work the source of many social imbalances? These are all questions that lend themselves to an exciting and topical debate on the role of work in our society.

Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next. Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures. If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious empire—the Middle Kingdom of China—will consume us.

Look at a map of the world and you’ll see a colorful checkerboard of nation-states. But this is not where power actually resides. Over the last decade, globalization has shattered the map into different legal spaces: free ports, tax havens, special economic zones. With the new spaces, ultracapitalists have started to believe that it is possible to escape the bonds of democratic government and oversight altogether. Crack-Up Capitalism follows the most notorious radical libertarians around the globe as they search for the perfect space for capitalism.

Lo que estamos presenciando hoy es la mercantilización directa de nuestras experiencias: en el mercado compramos cada vez menos productos (objetos materiales) que queremos poseer, y adquirimos cada vez más experiencias de vida -experiencias de sexo, gastronomía, comunicación, consumo cultural, que forman parte de un estilo de vida -. No compramos productos por su utilidad ni tampoco como símbolos de estatus; los compramos para obtener la experiencia que nos brindan, los consumimos para hacer que nuestra vida sea más placentera y significativa.

"La difesa è molto più importante della ricchezza". Adam Smith segna così i confini dell'economia politica, nel momento della sua nascita. Anche oggi il mercato ha il suo unico limite nella sicurezza nazionale, dominio arcano dei grandi contendenti dell'arena globale, gli Stati Uniti e la Cina. Le due potenze fondono l'ambito economico e quello politico, attraverso le decisioni del Partito comunista cinese e degli apparati di difesa e sicurezza nazionale degli Stati Uniti.

Proprio come l'Idra, il mostro mitologico le cui teste, mozzate da Ercole, avevano il potere di rinascere raddoppiandosi, il capitalismo, un tempo solo occidentale oggi planetario, ricompare sulla scena del mondo riproponendo nuove e più sofisticate forme di schiavitù. Ma se è vero che dai grandi conflitti del '900 il capitalismo è uscito vincitore trionfando su ogni rivoluzione, è altrettanto vero che "l'uguaglianza è una necessità che si ripresenta continuamente, come la fame".

There is no such thing as value-free economics. All economic theories prescribe a unique meaning in life. What meanings are hidden in economic theories? How can we live a meaningful life, despite the meanings that economists and politicians promote? Many aspects of the economy are transforming, from personal job motivation to organization structures, human resource management, and production. This is the first book to integrate systematic empirical studies on meaning in life with economic theory, written by a leading researcher on meaning.

En este ensayo global se ponen de presente temas de una actualidad apabullante. Los propagandistas de este capitalismo tardío nos quieren hacer creer que no tenemos alternativas para él, lo cual es un embuste visto desde la perspectiva histórica. Todo sistema, toda cultura, toda civilización ha tenido un fin y de sus propias entrañas ha surgido un nuevo mundo. El colapso de una civilización no significa el colapso de la humanidad. En las entrañas de todo viejo sistema germinan las simientes de aquellos fenómenos que alumbrarán el futuro.

La proclamación neoliberal de la libertad se manifiesta en realidad como un imperativo paradójico: sé libre. Domina una economía de la supervivencia en la que cada uno es su propio empresario. El neoliberalismo, con sus desinhibidos impulsos narcisistas del yo y del rendimiento, es el infierno de lo igual, una sociedad de la depresión y el cansancio compuesta por sujetos aislados.

Millionen Menschen haben ihren Job verloren. Doch der Aktienmarkt boomt. Hunderttausende Mittelständler sind in finanzielle Not geraten. Doch der DAX erreicht Rekordwerte. In unserem Wirtschaftssystem läuft etwas gewaltig schief - und es wird noch schlimmer kommen, wenn wir nicht endlich den Hebel umlegen. Norbert Häring zeigt, wie einflussreiche Unternehmen die Corona-Krise nutzen, um ihre Macht zu zementieren und eine lang geplante Agenda zur digitalen Kontrolle umsetzen. Zeit für ein neues System, das allen dient, nicht einer kleinen Elite.

In On Property, Rinaldo Walcott explores the long shadow cast by slavery’s afterlife and shows how present-day abolitionists continue the work of their forebears in service of an imaginative, creative philosophy that ensures freedom and equality for all.
