You know what they used to call it? Slavery. Then some very smart people in very expensive suits sat down and had a meeting about the word. And they came up with better ones. Forty-five of them, actually. "Employment." "The gig economy." "Financial responsibility." "Entry level." "Competitive market." "Bootstrapping." "Hustle culture." You know — words that make the cage sound like a lifestyle choice. This audiobook is about the cage. Not the cage they built in 1619 — that one at least had the honesty to call itself what it was. This one is newer. Shinier.

The Broken Contract: A Nation Divided, A Contract Betrayed, A Future Uncertain is a sweeping examination of the relationship between citizen and state, and the growing belief that the balance between the two has fundamentally changed.

All of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic state looks like, with a bad man at the top. But in the 21st century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another.

This book explains the historical roots of the conflict between Jews and Arabs, which has lost none of its explosiveness to the present day, in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner. The question of who owns the Holy Land is more relevant today than ever. The debates on this topic are often characterized by ignorance and strong emotions, while partiality and power interests still obscure the view on the political situation in the Middle East.

If you’re woke, you’re left. If you’re left, you’re woke. We blur the terms, assuming that if you’re one you must be the other. That, Susan Neiman argues, is a dangerous mistake. The confusion arises because woke is fuelled by traditionally leftwing emotions: the wish to stand with the oppressed and marginalized, to address historic crimes. But those emotions are undermined by widespread philosophical assumptions with reactionary sources. As a result, wokeism conflicts with ideas that have guided the left for more than 200 years.

What is Political Science? Within human society, it is customary to distinguish between the following spheres: economic, political, social, and spiritual. The political sphere is important in that it involves and determines the interactions of different political powers. This understanding lies at the foundation of any political analysis of public life. Politics as a specific sector within human society is as old as it is modern. Many famous statesmen and scientists are credited as the authors of laws and political systems.

No era in world history has fascinated us more than that of the Roman Empire, especially when it was at its height. The period known as the Pax Romana is generally agreed to have occurred between Octavian's defeat of Mark Antony at Actium in 27 B.C. to the death of Marcus Aurelius in A.D.180. During this 227-year period, most of the sharp military conflict was confined to the periphery of the empire, though the civil war kicked off during the Year of the Four Emperors in 68/69 was a glaring exception to this "universal" peace.

Государство — диалог Платона, посвящённый проблеме идеального государства. Написан в 360 г. до н. э. С точки зрения Платона, государство является выражением идеи справедливости. В диалоге впервые отчётливо определяются философы как люди, способные постичь то, что вечно тождественно самому себе. В диалоге содержится систематика и краткий критический анализ видов государственного устройства (идеальное «государство будущего», которое пока не существует, в него не входит).
