American politics has been hijacked. Not by "neocons" or "theocons", but by a fringe group of economic extremists obsessed with radical ideas that favor no one but themselves and their business interests. With dark and engaging wit, Jonathan Chait shows how over the past three decades these canny zealots have gamed the political system and the media.

In The Varieties of Political Experience in Eighteenth-Century America, Richard R. Beeman offers an ambitious overview of political life in pre-Revolutionary America. Beeman uncovers an extraordinary diversity of political belief and practice. In so doing, he closes the gap between eighteenth-century political rhetoric and reality. Although the majority of people living in America before the Revolution would not have used the term "democracy," important changes were underway that made it increasingly difficult for political leaders to ignore "popular pressures".

And it has always been great because of us, you and me, #WeThePeople.

Why were the sordid deeds of Jeffery Epstein concealed for two decades? Why was inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus suppressed? Why are social media sites censoring scientists, doctors, journalists, and scholars? Through dozens of absorbing exposés, Red, White & Blind reveals the corporate media's deliberate lies, tendentious censorship, and ironic use of the term disinformation.

Low-level dishonesty is rife everywhere, in the form of exaggeration, selective use of facts, economy with the truth, careful drafting - from Trump and the Brexit debate to companies that tell us 'your call is important to us'. How did we get to a place where bullshit is not just rife but apparently so effective that it's become the communications strategy of our times? This brilliantly insightful book steps inside the panoply of deception employed in all walks of life and assesses how it has come to this.

Blankenship explains how the government used prevarication, lies, and document destruction to bury the truth.

Le "stragi nere" iniziano il 12 dicembre 1969 con Piazza Fontana e terminano il 4 agosto 1974 con l'attentato al treno Italicus. Alcuni giorni dopo la bomba di Milano, il settimanale britannico The Observer parlerà di "strategia della tensione", riferendosi non solo alle bombe ma al modo in cui sono stati strumentalizzati attentati e disordini sociali, chiamando in causa la stampa e i politici.

La transición del presidente Donald J. Trump al presidente Joseph R. Biden Jr. es uno de los períodos más peligrosos de la historia de Estados Unidos.

Perché le persone credono in ciò che non dovrebbero credere. Cosa rende una teoria del complotto? Da dove provengono i miti, chi li diffonde e perché? Perché alcune persone sono vulnerabili a idee chiaramente assurde e quali meccanismi li mantengono così tenacemente sotto il loro controllo?

The 2010s were a decade of foodbanks, riots, and the rebirth of political alternatives. Looking to escape a future of rising debt, falling living standards and climate meltdown, a set of movements were born. A new wave of optimistic, radical young people were building mass movements outside the political bubble, rejecting the neo-liberal consensus and the enrichment of the 1%, and laying the foundations of a new left. Eight years later, Bernie Sanders was favorite to clinch the Democratic Party nomination, and Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum had taken over the Labour Party in Britain.
