R.W Johnson’s best-selling How Long Will South Africa Survive? was hailed by financial writer Alec Hogg as 'a masterpiece in unblemished reality'. Published at the height of the Zuma presidency, it accurately forecast that South Africa’s credit rating would be downgraded to junk status. Johnson warned that this sorry progress might end in an IMF bailout and wholesale change to the political system.

"Ritengo sia possibile indicare una lista di caratteristiche tipiche di quello che vorrei chiamare l''Ur-Fascismo', o il 'fascismo eterno'. L'Ur-Fascismo è ancora intorno a noi, talvolta in abiti civili. Sarebbe così confortevole, per noi, se qualcuno si affacciasse sulla scena del mondo e dicesse: 'voglio riaprire Auschwitz, voglio che le camicie nere sfilino ancora in parata sulle piazze italiane!'. Ahimè, la vita non è così facile. L'Ur-Fascismo può ancora tornare sotto le spoglie più innocenti."

Gargano, the man who modernized Times Square in the 1990s and later oversaw the World Trade Center’s reconstruction, reflects on six decades of public service and engineering expertise to provide a map for how, through traditional values-based leadership, we can rebuild America’s crumbling national infrastructure, and lay the foundation for a prosperous future. Gargano applies his decades of experience in public service toward the task of re-engineering our nation’s political and moral infrastructure From the Ground Up with traditional, values-based leadership.

Trump, Grillo, Salvini: perché leader e partiti neopopulisti si sono diffusi tanto rapidamente nei paesi democratici? Chi sono i loro elettori? Dureranno nel tempo? La crisi della rappresentanza democratica e la crisi economica hanno creato un terreno molto fertile per la nascita o il rafforzamento di partiti neopopulisti. L'audiolibro ricostruisce l'evoluzione recente del fenomeno, illustrandone le caratteristiche specifiche, le varianti e le prospettive future in diversi contesti nazionali.

Nel corso dell'esperienza repubblicana, i nove presidenti che si sono succeduti hanno interpretato, ciascuno a modo suo, una carica che studiosi autorevoli hanno giudicato la più ambigua fra quelle previste dalla Carta del 1948: un po' notaio, un po' arbitro, un po' capitano. Certo è che da quasi 25 anni il presidente ha acquistato una centralità alla quale i costituenti non avevano davvero pensato e che è figlia, prima di tutto, delle difficoltà e delle ripetute crisi del sistema politico - centralità che ha ormai inciso sulla stessa forma di governo.

Anche le forme di governo hanno una loro storia, un albero genealogico attraverso cui riconoscere le diverse famiglie e la loro discendenza. Tutto cominciò in Inghilterra, dove tra '600 e '700 prese forma il sistema parlamentare, il modello di tutti i successivi modelli. Poi gli "inglesi" d'America, volendo imitare la loro madrepatria, finirono per inventare un modello alternativo, la forma di governo presidenziale. Molti anni dopo, in Francia, nel corso di una difficile transizione, si affermò un terzo modello, quello semipresidenziale.

Are Donald Trump's irrationality, cruelty and bombast symptoms of his personality? Is the chaos surrounding him a sign of his incompetence? Are his populism, illiberalism and nationalism just cynical appeals to existing feelings of abandonment, resentment and rage? Lawrence Grossberg shows that the truth is bigger and more frightening. Locating Trumpism in the long struggle among traditional conservatism, the new right and the reactionary right, he suggests that the chaos is far more significant and strategic...and dangerous. .

"Questo audiolibro non è un tentativo di prevedere il futuro. Questo audiolibro è un tentativo di sbloccare il futuro". E per sbloccare il futuro, scrive Rutger Bregman, bisogna tornare alle utopie. Di fronte al ritorno dei nazionalismi, al divario sempre più ampio tra ricchi e poveri e allo stress che il carico di lavoro porta ogni giorno nelle nostre vite, siamo costretti a riconoscere che le nostre aspettative sullo sviluppo liberale della società occidentale si sono drammaticamente consumate, lasciandoci di fronte alla dura verità.

El mundo actual, y su eterna pugna entre personas y mercados, es incomprensible si no se entiende la historia de estas teorías político-económicas. La historia del S. XX puede narrarse a través de las distintas teorías sociales, históricas, económicas o filosóficas que convulsionaron a los distintos países y a las personas.

How did the banks run wild for so long? Why are so many aged-care residents malnourished? And how is it that arms manufacturers sponsor the Australian War Memorial? In this passionate essay, Richard Denniss explores what neoliberalism has done to Australian society.

First he considers moments in history - Periclean Athens, the English Civil War, the American and French Revolutions, among them - in which the challenges we face today were first encountered and what solutions, however imperfect, were found. Then he lays bare the specific problems of democracy in the 21st century and maps out a set of urgently needed reforms. With the advent of authoritarian leaders and the simultaneous rise of populism, representative democracy appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place, yet it is this space that it must occupy, says Grayling, if a civilised society that looks after all its people is to flourish.

Was hat uns Karl Marx heute zu sagen? Ist der Kapitalismus noch zu retten? Oder brauchen wir eine neue Gesellschaftsidee? Gregor Gysi untersucht kritisch, unterhaltsam und pointiert die Bedeutung des Marx’schen Denkens und seiner Rezeption, die von akademischer Erbauungsliteratur bis zum Popart-Design reicht. Seine These: Die Menschheit braucht eine neue Utopie. "Karl Marx war einer der größten Historiker und Ökonomen nicht nur unseres Landes, sondern der Geschichte." Als linker Politiker hat man ein Verhältnis zu Marx, und angesichts der Niederlage historischen Ausmaßes, die die Linke im 20. Jahrhundert erfahren hat, kann dieses Verhältnis nicht völlig ungebrochen sein.

In 2012 on Catalonia's National Day, the Diada, an enormous crowd calling for Catalan independence took over the heart of Barcelona. On the back of this show of force, Catalonia's governing politicians turned secessionist claims into a new headache for a Madrid government only just recovering from the near-meltdown of Spain's financial system. Five years on, the separatist challenge has neither come to fruition nor faded away.

Bigly is an hilarious compilation of memorable quotes from President Donald Trump, arranged as poetry and divided into sections on Life, Love, Beauty, and Death. It will have the president's fiercest supporters and harshest critics asking the same question: Can a president appoint himself Poet Laureate?

The October Revolution happened in November 1917. Later Soviet propaganda 'proved' it was 'the will of the people', but few know that the brutal rebellion, which killed millions and raised Lenin's numerically tiny Bolshevik Party to power, was made possible by massive injections of German money laundered through a Swedish bank and a shady arms dealer who had made a fortune in the Balkan wars.

As Under Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1907, Winston S. Churchill toured Britain's territories in East Africa. My African Journey, first published in 1908, documents his travels and the people he met; he waxes lyrical on the natural beauty of Uganda and goes on to explore Egypt and Sudan via the White Nile. More than a travelogue however, Churchill, now in his 30s, turns his attention towards issues of government and development, suggesting that the best way to tap the latent wealth of East Africa was the development of the railway system.

In this sequel to Fugitive Days, Ayers charts his life after the Weather Underground, when he becomes the GOP’s flaunted “domestic terrorist,” a “public enemy.” Labeled a "domestic terrorist" by the McCain campaign in 2008 and used by the radical right in an attempt to castigate Obama for "pallin' around with terrorists," Bill Ayers is in fact a dedicated teacher, father, and social justice advocate with a sharp memory and even sharper wit.

The ideal of freedom is at the heart of our political and economic system. It is foundational to our sense of justice, our way of life, our conception of what it is to be human. But are we free in the way that we think we are? In Creating Freedom, Raoul Martinez brings together a torrent of mind-expanding ideas, facts and arguments to dismantle sacred myths central to our society - myths about free will, free markets, free media and free elections.
