In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.

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.

Come siamo potuti diventare così fragili? Credevamo di essere la generazione più fortunata della storia. Commerciare o viaggiare ovunque nel mondo sembrava un nostro diritto. Invece per la seconda volta in un decennio miliardi di donne e uomini - italiani inclusi - si trovano intrappolati in una catastrofe. Possiamo dirci che dietro c'è la "mala sorte", o seguire il filo che corre attraverso gli ultimi vent'anni. L'11 settembre causato da un gruppo di fanatici che avevano potuto addestrarsi al volo negli Stati Uniti.

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.

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.

Nach einer Rückblende über Hintergründe zur Entstehung der Coronakrise ab ihrem Ursprung im chinesischen Wuhan, verfolgt der Autor die internationale Ausbreitung und die Veränderungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Er warnt vor einer zweiten oder dritten Welle der Corona-Pandemie, die zum brisanten Bumerang werden könne. Der Umgang mit Corona sei zum großen Charaktertest für die Gesellschaft geworden, der ihre Solidarität, ihre Rücksichtnahme und ihr Wertesystem auf den Prüfstand stellt.

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.

Why Has Nationalism Come Roaring Back? Trump in America, Brexit in the U.K., 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...

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.

An esteemed journalist delivers a compelling on-the-ground account of the construction of President Trump’s border wall in San Diego—and the impact on the lives of local residents. In August of 2019, Donald Trump finished building his border wall—at least a portion of it. In San Diego, the...

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?

Over the last decade, author and activist Astra Taylor has helped shift the national conversation on topics including technology, inequality, indebtedness, and democracy. The essays collected here reveal the range and depth of her thinking, with Taylor tackling the rising popularity of socialism, the problem of automation, the politics of listening, the possibility of rights for the natural and nonhuman world, the future of the university, the temporal challenge of climate catastrophe, and more.

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.

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.

A brilliant analysis of the transition in world economics, finance, and power as the era of globalization ends and gives way to new power centers and institutions. The world is at a turning point similar to the fall of communism. Then, many focused on the collapse itself, and failed to see that...

'A well-written and thought-provoking account of the current crisis of globalization. Not everyone will agree with Eyal's interpretation, but few will remain indifferent.' —Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens Revolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the...

While the world has made encouraging strides in the fight against global poverty, there is a hidden crisis silently undermining our best efforts to help the poor. It is a plague of everyday violence. Beneath the surface of the world’s poorest communities, common violence—like rape, forced labor, illegal detention, land theft, police abuse and other brutality—has become routine and relentless. And like a horde of locusts devouring everything in their path, the unchecked plague of violence ruins lives, blocks the road out of poverty, and undercuts development.

In 2018, 66.3 million pairs of shoes were manufactured across the world every single day. They have never been cheaper to buy, and we have never been more convinced that we need to buy them. Yet their cost to the planet has never been greater. In this urgent, passionately argued book, Tansy E. Hoskins opens our eyes to the dark origins of the shoes on our feet. 

Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia Garza wrote what she calls 'a love letter to Black people' on Facebook. But hashtags don't build movements, she tells us. People do. Interwoven with Garza's experience of life as a Black woman, The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white lives by galvanising people to create change.

Throughout A Mouth Full of Blood our search for truth, moral integrity and expertise is met by Toni Morrison with controlled anger, elegance and literary excellence.
