In his most ambitious work to date, Thomas L. Friedman shows that we have entered an age of dizzying acceleration - and explains how to live in it. Due to an exponential increase in computing power, climbers atop Mount Everest enjoy excellent cell phone service, and self-driving cars are taking to the roads. A parallel explosion of economic interdependency has created new riches as well as spiraling debt burdens.

Der linke Publizist Robert Misik nimmt auch hier kein Blatt vor den Mund: Mit Ironie und starker Überzeugungskraft verdeutlicht er, warum Gesellschaftskritik wieder angesagt ist, und macht dabei keinen Hehl aus seinem eigenen linken Hintergrund. Neben dem Porträt sehr unterschiedlicher Charaktere der linken Szene - von Michael Moore bis zu Naomi Klein - befasst er sich mit Fragen nach politischen Alternativen und untersucht, warum man heute mit rebellischen Äußerungen darauf gefasst sein muss, womöglich einen neuen Trend zu starten.

"Der Markt hat versagt, wir brauchen mehr Staat!" - das behaupten seit dem Ausbruch der Finanzkrise vor zehn Jahren Politik, Medien und Intellektuelle. Rainer Zitelmann, mehrfacher Bestsellerautor, vertritt die Gegenthese: Mehr Kapitalismus tut den Menschen gut. Der Autor begibt sich mit dem Hörer auf eine Reise durch die Kontinente und Zeiten und zeigt: In Ländern, in denen der Staat seinen Einfluss beschränkt und die Menschen dem Markt mehr vertrauen, steigt der Wohlstand und geht die Armut zurück. Belege für diese These finden sich in Afrika, Asien, Europa und Amerika.

Unsere Kultur ist besessen von der Kontrolle über den weiblichen Körper, sie quillt über von Darstellungen unwirklicher weiblicher Schönheit. Gleichzeitig weidet sich die Presse an magersüchtigen Stars und schwangeren Unterschichts-Teenagern. Der Spätkapitalismus brandmarkt den Körper von Frauen im Wortsinne - er brennt sein Markenzeichen ein. "Fleischmarkt" versucht, einige der Strategien aufzuzeigen, mit denen Frauenkörper entmachtet und kontrolliert werden.

Qual è la relazione tra il capitalismo e la salute mentale? Nel suo audiolibro più inquietante, Franco "Bifo" Berardi intraprende un coinvolgente viaggio attraverso la filosofia, la psicoanalisi e gli eventi di cronaca più recenti, in cerca delle ragioni sociali che stanno alla base dei disagi mentali della nostra epoca.

Counter-Cola charts the history of one of the world's most influential and widely known corporations, the Coca-Cola Company. It tells the story of how, over the past 130 years, the corporation has tried to make its products and brands physically and culturally a central part of global daily life in over 200 countries. Through this story of Coca-Cola, Amanda Ciafone reveals the pursuit of corporate power within the key economic transformations-liberal, developmentalist, neoliberal - of the 20th and 21st centuries. A story of global capitalism, it is not without contest.

We live in an age of addiction, from compulsive gaming and shopping to binge eating and opioid abuse. Sugar can be as habit-forming as cocaine, researchers tell us, and social media apps are hooking our kids. But what can we do to resist temptations that insidiously and deliberately rewire our brains? Nothing, David Courtwright says, unless we understand the history and character of the global enterprises that create and cater to our bad habits.

From the inquisitive layperson to the professional economist or policymaker, The Inequality Paradox is essential listening for understanding the global economy in its present state. McWilliams is a fresh, authoritative voice entering the global discussion, making this book indispensable in preparing for the imminent economic challenges of our changing world.

Populists on both sides of the political aisle routinely announce that the American Dream is dead. According to them, the game has been rigged by elites, workers can't get ahead, wages have been stagnant for decades, and the middle class is dying. Michael R. Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, disputes this rhetoric as both wrong and dangerous. In this succinctly argued volume, he shows that, on measures of economic opportunity and quality of life, there has never been a better time to be alive in America.

If socialists and Wall Street bankers can agree on anything, it is the extreme rationalism of capital. Ignoring the motive force of the spirit, capitalism rejects the awe-inspiring divine for the economics of supply and demand. Eugene McCarraher challenges this conventional view. Capitalism, he argues, is full of sacrament, whether or not it is acknowledged. Capitalist enchantment first flowered in the fields and factories of England and was brought to America by Puritans and evangelicals whose doctrine made ample room for industry and profit.

A dazzlingly original, "remarkable" account of the life and thought of legendary economist Adam Smith (Financial Times). Adam Smith (1723-1790) is now widely regarded as the greatest economist of all time. But what he really thought, and the implications of his ideas, remain fiercely contested...

Filled with keen economic insight and advice for citizens, executives, policymakers, and educators, When More Is Not Better is the must-listen guide for saving democratic capitalism.

America has a huge problem. It faces four major challenges, on which its future depends, and it is failing to meet them. In That Used to Be Us, Thomas L. Friedman, one of our most influential columnists, and Michael Mandelbaum, one of our leading foreign policy thinkers, analyze those challenges - globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nation's chronic deficits, and its pattern of energy consumption - and spell out what we need to do now to rediscover America and rise to this moment.

Pulitzer Prize-winning economic journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work. Thirty years ago, “greed is good” and “maximizing shareholder value” became the new mantras...

The idea that people are basically driven by individualism and economic incentives and that prosperity and good societies come from top-down leadership has dominated politics for the last 30 years (from some perspectives, much longer). This book shows that the age of homo economicus and centralisation is coming to an end. Instead, Collier and Kay argue that community and mutuality will be the drivers of successful societies in the future - as they are already in some parts of the world.

A recent poll showed 43% of Americans think more socialism would be a good thing. What do these people not know? Socialism has killed millions, but it’s now the ideology du jour on American college campuses and among many leftists. Reintroduced by leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria...
