Political Campaign

The American economy is in a recession. The Republican president, with strong ties to the oil industry, is dim-witted but loyal to a fault. The US Attorney General is abusing power against American citizens. And a book, written by an outspoken political critic, bashes the president and causes an uproar among the masses. Looking back almost 100 years, a previously untold retribution scenario played itself out with United States President Warren G. Harding, Attorney General Harry Daugherty, and college professor William Estabrook Chancellor.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Ron DeSantis made Florida the freest state in the country. While other politicians advocated lockdowns and masking policies, DeSantis did everything he could to keep businesses open and protect civil liberties. DeSantis began fighting for civil liberties years earlier, though. He launched his political career in the US Congress in 2012. Cason Longhurst recounts Ron DeSantis's political career to date, revealing the principles that guide this conservative rising star.

In the modern era, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an omnipresent force, touching nearly every aspect of our lives. From virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles, AI technologies have transformed the way we work, communicate, and make decisions. Yet, as AI continues to evolve, so do the potential risks associated with its misuse. One of the most alarming prospects is the use of AI to manipulate democratic processes, including elections.

Donald J. Trump, like or hate him, is the president of the United States. There is no other political figure in recent memory that has been so polarizing. Despite this, he has accomplished so much in so short a time for America. Trump is already a consequential president in American history. He is the first US president to meet with a North Korean dictator. He is the first president to attend the March for Life. Under his administration, we have experienced the lowest Black and Latino unemployment. Women have experienced the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years.

Che ruolo hanno svolto le nuove tecnologie nella campagna più finanziata della storia, quali innovazioni si sono sperimentate e come è stato costruito l'intreccio delle informazioni sugli elettori tratte dai social media e dalla rete sino a permettere l'elaborazione di spot mirati quasi a livello personale (microtargeting)? E soprattutto: quale è stata la chiave comunicativa di fondo, senza la quale nulla avrebbe funzionato?

Promozione di idee, ricerca, battaglia culturale per influenzare governi e opinione pubblica. È l'attività dei think tank, "serbatoi di pensiero" sorti in America più di un secolo fa e divenuti noti al grande pubblico soprattutto durante il primo mandato di George W. Bush. Nel volume si parte dalla storia americana per capire cosa fanno esattamente questi consiglieri del principe - da Roosevelt a Reagan, fino a Obama, ogni presidente ha avuto i suoi think tank - e si spiega perché abbiano messo radici anche in Italia e nel resto d'Europa.

From the role of Super PACS and conservative interest groups to the clashes of personality and policy that will define the race to capture the GOP nomination, this is a history-as-it-happens account of the resurgent American right at the crossroads.

Brian believes that America's greatest strength is brokenness. Our nation's debt, problems, and division has prepared us to become a strong, united front of greatness. It's not just about 2016, but that's where it begins. In each chapter, Brian digs deeper than the 30-second sound bites and media spin to get to the root causes of America's brokenness - and how it will lead to our country's restoration. Restoration begins with you. Are you ready to "give a damn" about America?

Flat tax, reddito di cittadinanza, moneta fiscale, aumento dell'età pensionabile, sforamento del tetto del 3 per cento. Sono le principali proposte economiche delle tre forze che oggi si contendono il governo del paese. Sono interventi spesso improvvisati, che avrebbero un impatto in alcuni casi catastrofico sui nostri conti. In tutto il mondo le campagne elettorali si combattono con slogan e comizi, ma qui stiamo parlando di cifre enormi, incomparabili con qualsiasi promessa fatta in precedenza: la flat tax della Lega costerebbe 80 miliardi l'anno, quella di Forza Italia 130.

However, the subjects are examined from angles and perspectives you’ve likely never encountered.

He considers how each man reflects, challenges and comforts the national character. Who are Morrison’s 'quiet Australians'? What did Shorten Labor fail to see? And will fear always trump hope in politics? The Prosperity Gospel sheds new light on the politics of a divided nation.

Trust in our government has reached an all-time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress and that business interests wield control over our legislature. With heartfelt urgency and a keen desire for righting wrongs, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig takes a clear-eyed look at how we arrived at this crisis: how fundamentally good people, with good intentions, have allowed our democracy to be co-opted by outside interests and how this exploitation has become entrenched in the system.

The dazzling, inimitable Molly Ivins is back, with her own personal Hall of Fame of America’s most amazing and outlandish politicians–the wicked, the wise, the witty, and the witless–drawn from more than twenty years of reporting on the folks who attempt to run our government (in some cases, into the ground). Who Let the Dogs In? takes us on a wild ride through two decades of political life.

Direct democracy can no longer be thought of as something that belongs to the future.... This is the scarcely believable story of how, in just over three years, a political dotcom grew to become one of the most powerful forces in the affairs of a country of 60 million people. At the general election in Italy this year, Beppe Grillo’s Five Star Movement, which has its headquarters on a website, took a quarter of the vote - more than Silvio Berlusconi’s party.

Hillary Clinton is running for the presidency with a message of hope and change. But, as Doug Henwood makes clear in this concise, devastating indictment, little trust can be placed in her campaign promises. Rigorously reviewing her record, Henwood shows how Clinton's positions on key issues have always blown with the breeze of expediency, though generally around an axis of moralism and hawkishness.
