Über das letzte Jahrhundert hinweg hat sich die Menschheit erfolgreich Hunger, Seuchen und Kriegen gestellt. Aus Erfolg wird Ehrgeiz: Als nächstes stehen Unsterblichkeit, grenzenloses Glück und gottgleiche Schöpfungskräfte auf der To-Do-Liste. Die Verfolgung dieser Ziele wird die meisten Menschen allerdings überflüssig machen. Also bleiben Fragen: Wohin führt unser Weg? Wie können wir unsere Zukunft bestmöglich beeinflussen?

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.

Leading innovation expert Alec Ross explains what's next for the world, mapping out the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next 10 years - for businesses, governments, and the global community - and how we can navigate them.

Penguin Audio presents Has the West Lost It? by Kishore Mahbubani, read by Jonathan Keeble. The West's centuries-old status as the centre of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers - China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America - rise to the top of the world's pecking order, how should the West react?

From an internationally acclaimed economist, a provocative call to jump-start economic growth by aggressively overhauling liberal democracy. Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal democracy, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented economic headwinds - from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens.

The spying that took place between the USSR and the United States during the cold war era pales in comparison to the spying and covert operations that are taking place now. Of course, the USSR is no more, but the ideology has lingered in the minds of those who were once members of it. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is a cold warrior; he has made it quite clear that the cold war is , in fact, not over, it just looks very different now.

Un punto di partenza per una rilettura critica degli ultimi dodici, densissimi mesi: l'Europa e l'Italia, gli Stati Uniti di Trump e la Cina di Xi, un Medio Oriente tornato ad alta tensione, il lavoro, il capitale e i nuovi volti del capitalismo, l'impatto sul clima. Un tentativo di fornire occhiali diversi, con lenti differenti da quelle del giorno per giorno, per una lettura e una riflessione di dati e avvenimenti in un mondo di risorse che si restringono e di incertezze che si allargano, per contribuire alla difficile ricerca di nuove soluzioni per nuovi (e vecchi) problemi.

Ein interessanter Beitrag zur Debatte um wirtschaftspolitische Fragen!Seit einigen Jahren ist erkennbar, dass die deutsche Wirtschaft schwächelt. Und auch die Stimmung im Land ist schlecht, weil die Gesellschaft verängstigt und verzagt ist. Und das alles nur, weil die Deutschen nicht patriotisch genug sind - so jedenfalls lautet Henrik Müllers These. Denn gerade in Zeiten der Globalisierung ist es wichtig, eine funktionierende nationale Identität zu haben. Daher zeigt der Autor in seinem Werk, wie der Patriotismus als Wirtschaftsfaktor wirkt, und wie wir Deutschen ein aufgeklärtes, selbstbewusstes und offenes Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl unser eigen machen können.

Nestlé, die weltweite Nummer 1 im Lebensmittelsektor, ist das Musterbeispiel eines Weltkonzerns. Er pflegt das Image eines qualitätsbewussten Unternehmens, das gute Arbeitsbedingungen bietet und mit seiner Politik den Armen dieser Welt entgegenkommt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Buches, die sich als globalisierungskritisch verstehen, beschreiben die Realität hinter der schönen Marketingfassade: Während Nestlé enorme Gewinne einstreicht, wird der Konzern von Gewerkschaften in aller Welt beschuldigt, das Arbeitsrecht der Mitarbeitenden mit Füßen zu treten.

Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung diktieren die Industrieländer vielen Entwicklungsländern die Wirtschaftspolitik - mit negativen Resultaten. Dass die Bilanz der Entwicklungsländer nicht allzu schlecht ausfällt, ist Ländern wie Indien, China oder Südkorea zu verdanken - gerade weil sie sich dem wirtschaftspolitischen Diktat Washingtons nicht unterwerfen mussten. Niggli warnt vor der Illusion, man könne die wirtschaftliche Globalisierung durch soziale und ökologische Leitplanken zivilisieren. Demokratie und Selbstbestimmung sind mit voller ökonomischer Integration aller Länder nicht vereinbar.

Malte Frøslee Ibsen tegner et øjebliksbillede af det politiske verdensbillede, som det ser ud lige nu. Fire krisetendenser hans især opmærksomhed: Demokratiets krise, den stigende ulighed, klimakrisen og flygtningekrisen. Hans påstand er, at vi kun kan tage hånd om disse fire kriser gennem et langt mere demokratisk EU, og at den europæiske venstrefløj skal stifte en ny Internationale, som kan demokratisere det europæiske samarbejde. "Den Første Internationale" blev grundlagt i 1864 af blandt andre Karl Marx.

Dalla Compagnia delle Indie a Microsoft sono da sempre protagoniste dell'economia mondiale. Spesso di grandissime dimensioni, talvolta di formato tascabile, con una lunga storia nei paesi industrializzati, ma oggi in crescita anche nelle economie emergenti, le multinazionali sono osannate o contestate, in realtà poco conosciute.

Globalisierung beginnt nicht erst in der Gegenwart. Sie hat sich über mehrere Jahrhunderte hinweg entfaltet. Das Buch beschreibt die Vielfalt der wirtschaftlichen, politischen und kulturellen Prozesse, die heute unter dem Begriff der Globalisierung zusammengefasst werden. Es befasst sich mit deren Ursachen und Auswirkungen, Rhythmen und Reichweiten.

En dix ans, les exportations mondiales ont augmenté trois fois plus vite que la production. Dans le même temps, les investissements internationaux ont été multipliés par dix. La mondialisation concerne la vie de tous, même si bien peu ont le sentiment d'avoir une prise sur elle. Elle existe, en réalité, depuis la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, mais il est encore difficile aujourd'hui d'en comprendre les rouages.

Trump in America, Brexit in the UK, anti-EU parties in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and Hungary, and nativist or authoritarian leaders in Turkey, Russia, India, and China - why has nationalism suddenly returned with a vengeance? Is the world headed back to the fractious conflicts between nations that led to world wars and depression in the early 20th Century? Why are nationalists so angry about free trade and immigration? Why has globalization become a dirty word?

What moral values do human beings hold in common? As globalization draws us together economically, are our values converging or diverging? In particular, are human rights becoming a global ethic? These were the questions that led Michael Ignatieff to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of answers. The Ordinary Virtues presents Ignatieff's discoveries and his interpretation of what globalization - and resistance to it - is doing to our conscience and our moral understanding.

For most of its history, the US avoided making political and military commitments that would entangle it in European-style power politics. Then, suddenly, it conceived a new role for itself as the world’s armed superpower and never looked back. In Tomorrow, the World, Wertheim traces America’s transformation to the crucible of World War II, especially in the months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the Nazis conquered France, the architects of the nation’s new foreign policy came to believe that the US ought to achieve primacy in international affairs forevermore.

As Morgan Stanley's chief Asia specialist, getting Asia right is Stephen Roach's personal obsession, and this in-depth compilation represents more than 70 of Roach's key research efforts not just on Asia, but also on how the region fits into the broad context of increasingly globalized financial markets. The book argues that the "Asia factor" is not a static concept, but rather one that is constantly changing and evolving.

From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila, urbanization has been disconnected from industrialization, even economic growth. Davis portrays a vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy. He argues that the rise of this informal urban proletariat is a wholly original development unforeseen by either classical Marxism or neoliberal theory. Are the great slums, as a terrified Victorian middle class once imagined, volcanoes waiting to erupt?

On December 26, 1991, an event of extraordinary importance in universal history took place. It involved the dissolution of the Soviet Union, an event of enormous repercussions that almost no one had anticipated. In fact, only the historian Andrei Amalrík and Nobel laureate and writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, two Russian dissidents, had enough courage and vision to forecast that such a seismic event would take place.

El 26 de diciembre 1991, tuvo lugar un hecho de extraordinaria importancia en la Historia universal. Se trató de la disolución de la Unión Soviética, un acontecimiento de enormes repercusiones que pocos habían previsto. A decir verdad, sólo el historiador Andrei Amalrík y el premio Nobel Alexander Solzhenitsyn, disidentes rusos, habían tenido el valor y la visión para anunciar que semejante seísmo tendría lugar.

In 1991, the United States was the only global superpower. It seemed that the 21st century, like the 20th, would belong to America. Then came the stock market bubble, the costly foreign unilateralism of the younger Bush presidency, and the financial catastrophe of 2008. Meanwhile, China was rising and the Middle East was awakening politically. Today it is clear that America is vulnerable - to domestic and international decline and unregulated greed.

Globalization is about Americans outsourcing product development and services to other countries. Globality is the next step, where rapidly developing economies from around the world are now competing with us head to head. The authors present a strong case that the economic climate in which we have lived is going to change in unprecedented ways.

World 3.0 reveals how we're not nearly as globalized as we think we are, and how people around the world can secure their collective prosperity through new approaches to cross-border integration. Provocative and bold, this new audiobook will surprise and move you, no matter where you stand on globalization.

Today, many Americans regard globalization as a significant threat to our work force, and to our very way of life. As unemployment soars, the automotive and manufacturing industries crumble, countless jobs continue to ship overseas, and the retail sector faces the worst slump in decades, cries of "Buy American" have grown louder and louder.

Even if we live within sight of the sea, it is easy to forget that our world is an ocean world. The open ocean, that vast expanse of international waters, begins just a few miles out and spreads across three-fourths of the globe. It is a place of storms and danger, both natural and manmade. And at a time when every last patch of land is claimed by one government or another, it is a place that remains radically free.

In The End of Power, award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research and a lifetime of experience in global affairs, Naím explains how the end of power is reconfiguring our world.

The world is at a turning point. The benefits of globalization - through the freer flow of money, people, ideas, and trade - have been many. But rather than a world that is flat, what has emerged is one of jagged peaks and rough, deep valleys characterized by wealth inequality, indebtedness, political recession, and imbalances across the world's economies. These peaks and valleys are undergoing what Michael O'Sullivan calls "the levelling" - a major transition in world economics, finance, and power. What's next is a levelling-out of wealth....

Hitler offers a deeply learned and radically revisionist biography, arguing that the dictator's main strategic enemy, from the start of his political career in the 1920s, was not communism or the Soviet Union, but capitalism and the United States. Whereas most historians have argued that Hitler underestimated the American threat, Simms shows that Hitler embarked on a preemptive war with the United States precisely because he considered it such a potent adversary.

The world has never been so unstable. Now, more than ever, we need to understand our history, learn from our mistakes, and embrace science and technology as we push into the future. In his debut book, New Thinking: The Technology and Science That Transformed Our World, Dagogo Altraide of YouTube's ColdFusion breaks down the history of gamechanger breakthroughs in the world of science and technology that have shaped our modern world and will impact the future.
