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.

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.

This book is not about who would make a better leader, or rather who had better policies. It is all about winning and losing. What one candidate did to win and what another did to lose election is the central part of the analysis of the book. This is what Niccolo Machiavelli expresses as “The ends justify the means”. I know politics has become the most controversial topic everywhere. Some people even fight; beat each other because of politics and politicians.

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.

Voting is foundational in a democracy, yet over six million American citizens remain stripped of their ability to participate in elections. Once convicted of a felony, people who complete their sentences reenter society, but no longer with the civil rights they once had. They may return to school, secure employment to provide for their families, and become law-abiding, tax-paying citizens―sometimes for decades―and still be denied the voting rights afforded to every other citizen.
