Reflections of an Ordinary American in Extraordinary Times is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of America’s journey through history, culture, and modern-day challenges. Blending personal insight with historical and philosophical reflection, the book examines how society has evolved and what may have been lost along the way. It encourages readers to question the systems that shape everyday life, from education and governance to community and human connection.

In 1800, a young Welsh factory manager did something no one had ever tried before: he treated his workers like human beings. He raised their wages, shortened their hours, built schools for their children, and — to the astonishment of absolutely everyone — made more money than ever.

Alexander habe Achill nachgeahmt und Caesar den Alexander – doch wen haben sich die starken Männer der Gegenwart zum Vorbild genommen? »I am the chosen one«, wusste Donald Trump 2019 über sich zu berichten. Ein Fürst, der sich behaupten wolle, statuierte Machiavelli, müsse lernen, nicht gut zu sein.

Every social thinker in history has started from the same assumption: something is wrong with people. Religion says suppress your desires. The Enlightenment says discipline your mind. Marx says transform your consciousness. Liberalism says compete harder. The prescription changes; the diagnosis never does. The patient is always the problem. Then along came Charles Fourier—a mild-mannered French clerk who, in the early nineteenth century, said something no one had said before and almost no one has said since: there is nothing wrong with humans. The world is badly designed. Redesign the world.

In 1651, Thomas Hobbes declared that without a powerful ruler to keep them in line, human beings would tear each other apart. Life without government, he wrote, would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. For nearly four centuries, this bleak vision has served as the philosophical foundation for coercive authority everywhere. Hobbes gave the world a reason to accept the cage—and we have been living in it ever since. Boris Kriger argues that Hobbes was not merely wrong—he had it exactly backwards.

Why do the best ideas produce the worst outcomes? Saint-Simon sacrificed his fortune, his title, and his health to build a fairer world. Marx devoted his life to liberating the working class. The architects of liberal democracy genuinely believed in human dignity. Yet every system they created — however noble its origin — ended by devouring the people it promised to serve.

There are questions that seem simple, but deep down they reveal who we are. What would I do if I were president? It’s not just a game of imagination or a political exercise. It’s a mirror. An invitation to look straight at our convictions, our social wounds, and the hopes we’ve kept tucked away for years. This book is born from that curiosity we all feel at some point —whether in a casual conversation, in an improvised debate, or in those moments when reality squeezes us and we think, “If it were in my hands, I would do it differently.” This is not about empty promises or campaign speeches.

Every revolution in history promised equality, brotherhood, and shared prosperity. Every one of them delivered tyranny, suffering, and betrayal. And yet the dream persists—because it was never wrong. Only the method was. In What Institutional Communism Got Wrong, Boris Kriger—a former Orthodox priest who ran a homeless shelter in his own house for nine years, lived in an Israeli kibbutz, and once found himself teaching communism to the general secretaries of Canada’s two communist parties—makes a case so simple it sounds radical: cooperation is the natural state of human beings.

A profound, playful, and kaleidoscopic collection from one of our most evocative contemporary philosopher-poets. A posthumanist polymath and "trans-public" intellectual, Báyò Akómoláfé has produced a vast body of work that represents a startling picture of the world in perpetual process and radical relation. Through an ever-growing archive of books, articles, interviews, films, social media posts, workshops, and rituals, Akómoláfé seeks to interrogate the fundamental assumptions and epistemological blind spots of our current culture in crisis.

Why do people help each other when nobody makes them? Why does a group of homeless strangers, addicts, and outcasts—left in a house in the forest with no rules, no schedules, and no authority—quietly organize themselves into a functioning community? And why does that community often work better than the ones designed by experts? In Cooperation as a Law of Nature, Boris Kriger traces a single explosive idea from the Siberian wilderness of the nineteenth century to the frontiers of modern science: mutual aid is not a moral achievement.

The Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels is one of the most influential political and philosophical texts of the modern era. This historic work presents a powerful analysis of class struggle, capitalism, labor, revolution, and social change, making it essential...

Slavoj Žižek's thought is as provocative as it is dense, as playful as it is rigorous. His concepts circulate across philosophy, psychoanalysis, Marxism, theology, and popular culture, returning again and again in new configurations. For listeners, this makes Žižek irresistible—and often difficult to follow. Žižek Dictionary offers a clear and structured map of the conceptual core of his work.

Why does Congress struggle to solve the nation's most pressing problems? Based on a compelling series of Substack essays written between May 2025 and February 2026, this book unpacks the structural and political forces behind what can only be described as Congress's quagmire. It reveals how entrenched electoral systems and two-party dominance have effectively shut out competition, leaving little room for fresh ideas and meaningful reform.

Accanto ai grandi classici della politica, Il Principe di Niccolò Machiavelli resta ancora oggi uno dei testi più lucidi e spiazzanti sul potere. Come si conquista il potere? Come si mantiene? È meglio essere amati o temuti? Quando è necessario mantenere la parola data, e quando invece è più saggio infrangerla? Scritto all'inizio del Cinquecento, in un'Italia divisa, instabile e attraversata da guerre e intrighi, questo breve trattato analizza senza illusioni i meccanismi reali della politica.
