This book is a study of the relationship between revolution and terror. Historically, many have claimed that revolution inevitably devolves into terror, best reflected in the way in which after coming to power the revolutionary elite turns on itself, and one section of it uses terrorist means to eliminate another section. Graeme Gill argues that in order to understand the relationship between revolution and terror, it is necessary to distinguish between different types of terror.

Story
The current discussion among liberals in America is that democracy is at stake if Donald J. Trump Sr. wins the American presidency in 2024. But the almost unexamined question is whether America was ever a democracy. This book examines the common definition of the word "democracy" and argues that it is a meaningless word, and does not describe the political reality in America.

Story
When we avoid taking a decision, what happens to it? In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies examines why markets, institutions and even governments systematically generate outcomes that everyone involved claims not to want. He casts new light on the writing of Stafford Beer, a legendary economist who argued in the 1950s that we should regard organisations as artificial intelligences, capable of taking decisions that are distinct from the intentions of their members.

Perhaps you feel sidelined in conversations about social justice issues and are surprised by how quickly its meaning has changed from a compliment to a slur. This is not a critical race theory book or a cancel culture guide, but it explains these highly nuanced concepts. In today’s amplified “fake news” environment, we need a straightforward and unbiased social justice book for adults.

Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence.
