War Is a Racket is a classic short treatise by Major General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines in American history, turned outspoken critic of war. Drawing on his 34-year military career and firsthand experience in conflicts from the Caribbean to World War I, Butler delivers a powerful critique of how modern wars are driven not by noble ideals but by economic interests that profit from conflict.

In a world where artificial intelligence sees everything, the very notion of secrecy vanishes. Every crime—no matter how trivial, how carefully buried by time or circumstance—emerges into the light. It is identified, reconstructed, and rendered undeniable. Nothing remains hidden. But when every crime is solved, another problem arises: what should be done with the countless guilty? A system built to handle a few exceptional cases collapses under the pressure of universality.

En este análisis de los debates alrededor del discurso de odio, la pornografía y la homosexualidad, Butler sostiene que las palabras pueden herir y que la violencia lingüística es un tipo de violencia particular. También sostiene que este discurso es emocional y fluido porque sus efectos a menudo escapan al control del hablante, moldeados por la fantasía, el contexto y las estructuras de poder.

What if democratic socialism isn’t something to fear, but a serious, practical way to organize an economy and a society?For many people, “socialism” still conjures Cold War propaganda, failed states, or online shouting matches. Meanwhile, the system we’re told is “the only way” delivers homelessness, medical debt, climate breakdown, and billionaire fortunes built on other people’s exhausted labor. How to Be a Democratic Socialist is a clear, engaging guide to what democratic socialism actually is, where it came from, and how it works in practice.

For centuries, diplomacy has been humanity’s most elegant disguise for deceit. Treaties are broken before their ink dries, and the pursuit of peace has become a theatre of power. Algorithmic Diplomacy tears away this illusion, asking the most dangerous question of the twenty-first century: what if the only path to lasting peace is to surrender politics to reason itself? Boris Kriger envisions a world where nations speak not through fear and vanity, but through a transparent architecture of artificial intelligences bound by international law.

Sometime in the future, when social scientists begin to write the first books about the failures of the West and the defunct American experiment, they will all confront this basic truth. Despite all the proclamations of freedom and equality, the realities of racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, and gross economic inequalities constantly belied these ideals. The narcissism and the racism the US and the West harbors through their blind commitment to individualism is destabilizing enough on its own to terrorize and implode nation-states.

En estrecha conexión con la actualidad, este libro aborda algunas de las batallas filosóficas más intensas y decisivas de la historia, aquellas que siguen protagonizando hoy esa lucha por la «hegemonía» —tal y como la definió Gramsci—. El siglo xxi se decidirá de nuevo como un choque de ideas. Si el XX enfrentó al totalitarismo y el liberalismo, la nueva centuria será también la del conflicto renovado entre el autoritarismo y sus opositores.

La globalización ha producido sensaciones de impotencia en millones de personas en Occidente. Ese sentimiento de indefensión genera resentimiento y un afán por buscar culpables. Se culpa a los inmigrantes. Se culpa a los musulmanes. Se culpa a otras razas. Se culpa a la élite cultural. Basándose en una combinación de ejemplos históricos y contemporáneos, Nussbaum desenreda en La monarquía del miedo toda esta maraña de sentimientos y nos proporciona así una hoja de ruta para que sepamos hacia dónde dirigir nuestros pasos a partir de aquí.

Pourquoi, en 2026, l’autoritarisme revient-il partout — en politique, au travail, dans les familles — alors qu’on n’a jamais autant parlé de liberté, d’autonomie et de collaboration? Dans ce livre aussi éclairant que mordant, Alain Samson dévoile comment l’autoritarisme se forme, se glisse dans nos habitudes, se camoufle dans nos structures… et pourquoi nous continuons trop souvent à l’accepter.

From the first flicker of gesture around the prehistoric fire to the endless hum of machine speech in the digital age, this book traces the evolution of communication — and with it, the evolution of thought, culture, and consciousness itself. Language is the foundation of civilization: the matrix from which society, morality, and meaning arise. Yet it is also our most dangerous creation — capable of liberation or control, truth or deception, empathy or manipulation. Through language, we built worlds; through language, we can also destroy them.

This book has an entirely practical aim: to inspire the adoption of a new set of values that establishes goals and incentives to do more with less so we use fewer resources to sustain a high quality of life that’s accessible to all who embrace these values and contribute to a fairer, more sustainable way of living.

Dans AI FIRST, Sébastien Studer explore la transformation silencieuse qui traverse notre époque: celle où l’intelligence artificielle n’est plus un outil… mais un miroir. Un miroir qui nous observe, nous imite, nous amplifie—jusqu’à modifier notre manière de penser, d’aimer, de juger, de créer et de vivre.

The Prince of Evolution is the evolutionary reframing of one of the most important and controversial political texts in history. It reframes Machiavelli's The Prince as a text expressing a revolutionary political theory that expresses an evolutionary 'best practice' framework for political competition.

Jefferson was a soft-spoken man who recoiled from direct conflict, yet a master puppeteer in politics. Whenever he left Monticello, where he could control his environment, he suffered debilitating headaches that plagued him for decades, until he finally retired from public life. So, what did it feel like to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged.

How do underdogs, facing far stronger opponents, sometimes win? In the tradition of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Deepak Bhargava and Stephanie Luce's Practical Radicals offers winning strategies, history, and theory for a new generation of activists.

At the center of the book lies a question that extends far beyond the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer: whether human universality is still possible in an age built on specialization; whether a person can remain whole when society rewards only fragments; whether integrity can survive when myth inevitably replaces life. This is a reflection on the tensions between authenticity and legend, work and representation, individual destiny and the machinery of history.

When We Fight, They Win isn’t another partisan book pointing fingers at “the other side.” It’s not about proving one party right and the other wrong. It’s about something far bigger—and far more urgent. For decades, Americans have been told to pick a side, blame a side, and fight that side. Meanwhile, both parties, politicians, donors, and media industries profit from keeping us divided. The truth? Division makes America weaker. Unity—real unity—is the only way we reclaim our power as citizens.

Mary Wollstonecraft is widely hailed as the mother of modern feminism. The book that made her famous, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, is a work of worldwide renown. Yet the range of her achievements as a thinker and writer reach far beyond this text. She was a multi-faceted author, and although the condition of women was a constant preoccupation throughout her life, she wrote on a wide variety of topics and in a range of literary forms, some of which she created herself.
