Technocracy wants to rule the earth in a panopticon of scientific dictatorship. Transhumanists want to live forever and become omniscient. Both are mechanistic systems that see nature as something to be studied, manipulated, and conquered. Both see themselves as the new intelligent designers of the world, including humans. Both seek to craft a future for planet earth that nobody asked for, voted for, or wanted.

With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time.

Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family members. British observers decried an "Asian culture" of ritual suicide. In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local and global forces in nineteenth-century China.

This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome, and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future.

In the eyes of many, the US exerts the strongest destabilizing influence on world events, and thus presents the greatest threat to world peace. World power #1 hasn’t acquired this top position by chance. Since 1945, no other nation has bombed as many other countries or toppled as many governments as the US. It maintains the most military bases, exports the most weapons, and has the highest defense budget in the world. USA: The Ruthless Empire explains the background factors, motives, and resources of this world power.

Dieser Beitrag ist für alle gehorsamen, unterwürfigen Gläubigen einer Staatsreligion, die sich seit Ewigkeiten einem destruktiven, unmenschlichen Herrschaftssystem unterwerfen und damit jede evolutionäre Neuausrichtung der Gesellschaft blockieren. Viele Staatsgefangene sind in Denkstrukturen gefangen, die sie durch jahrelange Konditionierung und Indoktrinierung über die Medien glauben lassen, dass ohne die Staatssekte kein Überleben auf der Erde möglich ist.

Liberal democracy is in recession and authoritarianism is on the rise. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and spurned, even in democracy's notional heartlands. Around the world, powerful voices argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism. This book is a forceful rejoinder to both views, offering a deep and lucid assessment of why the marriage between capitalism and democracy has grown so strained and making clear why a divorce would be an almost unthinkable calamity.

Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order?

In The Open Conspiracy, H. G. Wells argues for a compelling (and some might say, frightening) new vision: a world where a group of like-minded individuals come together to reshape society and guide humanity into a new era. With thought-provoking ideas and a prescient vision of the future, this edition of The Open Conspiracy is a must-listen for anyone interested in building a better world.

What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power.

A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years.

The viruses keep coming, the climate is warming, and the Earth is rewilding. Our human family has no playbook to address the mayhem unfolding around us. If there is a change to reckon with, argues the renowned economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, it’s that we are beginning to realize that the human race never had dominion over the Earth and that nature is far more formidable than we thought, while our species seems much smaller and less significant in the bigger picture of life on Earth, undermining our long-cherished worldview.

License to Travel exposes the passport as both an instrument of personal freedom and a tool of government surveillance powerful enough to define our very humanity. Patrick Bixby examines the passports of artists and intellectuals, ancient messengers and modern migrants to reveal how these seemingly humble documents implicate us in larger narratives about identity, mobility, citizenship, and state authority.

Quale ruolo giocano nell'economia i poteri pubblici, come gli Stati, l'Unione Europea, gli organismi internazionali? In quale misura e con quali esiti regolano i mercati nell'attuale fase di sviluppo della globalizzazione? Una fase in cui -secondo diversi economisti, sociologi, giuristi - sono soprattutto le grandi imprese multinazionali a porre le regole degli scambi, mentre i pubblici poteri restano dietro le quinte o producono norme deboli.

L'irresistibile ascesa di un ragazzo italiano diventato uno dei manager più potenti d'America, prima di prendere il timone della Fiat e cambiare per sempre il capitalismo industriale del nostro paese. È la storia di uno studente di Genova - compagno di scuola di Paolo Villaggio e oggetto delle sue prime, sferzanti battute - che diventa vice chairman della General Electric, una delle più potenti aziende americane.

The West's strategy of engagement with China has failed. More than three decades of trade and investment with the advanced democracies have left that country far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been. But growth and development have not caused China's rulers to relax their grip on political power, abandon their mercantilist economic policies, or accept the rules and norms of the existing international system.

Poser la question de la transformation écologique de nos sociétés dans une économie globalisée où règne l'idéologie néolibérale, c'est aussi se poser la question de la souveraineté.

L'eredità della crisi che ha sconvolto l'economia globale a partire dal 2008 è stata pesante: crescita inadeguata, disoccupazione, disuguaglianze nella distribuzione dei redditi, crollo degli investimenti pubblici. Le contromisure adottate dai governi sono state nel complesso inefficaci. Si è evitata l'implosione del sistema finanziario, ma si sono sottovalutate sia la natura strutturale della crisi, sia le gravi conseguenze sociali e politiche che essa avrebbe provocato.

La globalizzazione è il concetto più impiegato per caratterizzare l'epoca in cui viviamo; essa è, per così dire, la quintessenza della contemporaneità. Ma le sue radici affondano addirittura nel Medioevo, e i processi che hanno portato alla condizione odierna sono attivi da tempo, da ben prima che il concetto di globalizzazione venisse coniato, e sono l'espansione europea, il sorgere di un'economia mondiale, la connessione dei continenti attraverso le emigrazioni di massa, l'allargamennto planetario delle relazioni internazionali, e la formazione di una cultura cosmopolita.
