Immaginate un paese in cui si ripete costantemente "che c'entriamo noi col fascismo?" e "ma poi, anche se fosse, tanto non era una dittatura, anzi ha fatto pure qualche cosa di buono". Immaginate un paese dove il crollo del fascismo viene chiamato anche 'morte della patria', dove la Resistenza diventa un'eredità scomoda da nascondere quanto prima nella soffitta della memoria. Ecco, ora immaginate di mettere alla prova dei fatti queste parole che sono diventate quasi senso comune.

La situazione della giustizia in Italia è peculiare. Da un lato si assiste a una dilatazione del ruolo dei giudici, dall’altro a una crescente inefficacia del sistema giudiziario. Molti osservatori concordano sul fatto che la magistratura sia diventata parte della governance nazionale; che vi sia una indebita invasione della magistratura nel campo della politica e dell’economia; che in qualche caso la magistratura cerchi persino di prendere il posto della politica, controllando anche i costumi, oltre ai reati.

Attraversiamo metropoli futuristiche e hutong, locali fumosi e campi di ginseng, antichi principi confuciani e intelligenza artificiale, neomarxismo e ipercapitalismo. Incontriamo l’ambiguo funzionario del Partito comunista, l’operosa dottoressa di Wuhan, l’eterea vlogger della Cina rurale, l’astro della letteratura fantascientifica, la giovanissima attivista per l’ambiente. Addentriamoci nella Cina nuova, quella che scopriamo appena smettiamo di leggerne soltanto la superficie.

Ein einzigartiger Einblick in die Hinterzimmer der Macht. Auf öffentlicher Bühne inszeniert sich Olaf Scholz sorgfältig als sachorientierter Macher. Doch wie sieht die Realität hinter den Kulissen aus? Nichts verrät darüber so viel wie seine Verwicklung als Hamburger Bürgermeister in das 47-Millionen-Euro Steuergeschenk an eine Privatbank. Nie hat er so sehr die Kontrolle über sein Image verloren, keine Affäre war so gefährlich für ihn. Und keine verrät so viel über ihn. Gestützt auf Zeugen und neue Dokumente enthüllt dieses Buch Scholz' Rolle in dem Skandal.

Gazprom, Google und der Fluch der Abhängigkeit: Warum Monopole so gefährlich sind. Gazprom, Google, Blackrock, USA, China und Russland: Konzerne und Staaten mit übergroßer Marktmacht greifen tief in unser Leben ein. Der Monopolismus mit seiner Herrschaft über Rohstoffe und Kapital, Energie, Nahrungsmittel und Daten droht den Wettbewerb abzuschaffen. Die Folgen sind weniger Innovation, höhere Preise, aber vor allem wirtschaftliche und politische Abhängigkeiten.

In early 2020, COVID-19 breached Australian shores, triggering twin crises: health and economic. The nation had not endured trials of this scale and impact since the Spanish flu and the Great Depression. Simon Benson and Geoff Chambers—two of Australia’s top political journalists—were granted exclusive access to the crucial machinations of government at the country’s highest levels, not just within the corridors of power but also behind doors normally sealed.

One of America’s greatest success stories is its economy. For over a century, it has been the envy of the world. The opportunity it generates has inspired millions of people to want to become American. Today, however, America’s economy is at a crossroads. Across the political spectrum, many want the government to play an even greater role in the economy via protectionism, stakeholder capitalism, or even quasi-socialist policies. But managed decline and creeping statism do not have to be America’s only choices, let alone its destiny. This audiobook insists there is an alternative.

It's not always easy to grasp the complex forces that are shaping our lives. But by following a dollar on its journey around the globe, we can start to piece it all together. From a shopping trip in suburban Texas, via China's central bank, Nigerian railroads, the oilfields of Iraq and beyond, The Almighty Dollar reveals the economic truths behind what we see on the news every day. Why is China the world's biggest manufacturer—and the USA its biggest customer? Is free trade really a good thing? Why would a nation build a bridge on the other side of the planet?

Finance plays a key role in the prosperity of the modern world—but it also brings grave dangers. We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management. Too often, though, we fail to address the greatest risk—the peril posed by our own behavior. Jon Danielsson argues that critical risk is generated from within, through the interactions of individuals and perpetuated by their beliefs, objectives, abilities, and prejudices.

El 10 de enero de 2000 el Ecuador económico amaneció en calma. Las largas colas en los bancos desaparecieron y las tasas de interés se desplomaron.

Much ink has been spilled in recent years talking about political divides and inequality in the United States. But these discussions too often miss one of the most important factors in the divisions among Americans: the fundamentally unequal nature of the nation's housing systems. Increasingly, important life outcomes—performance in school, employment, even life expectancy—are determined by where people live and the quality of homes they live in. Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities.

What can we learn from the events of the 20th century? David Halberstam set out to answer that question in this perceptive and eye-opening work which examines the past in order to determine the future. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economy's survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker.
