Story0
De meeste experts zijn het erover eens dat de Great Divergence ergens in de 18de en 19de eeuw ontstond, toen voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van de wereld in Groot-Brittannië en in een aantal andere Europese landen moderne economische groei optrad. Tot op dat moment was het verschil tussen arme en rijke samenlevingen altijd relatief gering geweest, aangezien wereldwijd armoede normaal was. Met de Great Divergence werd het westen veel rijker dan de rest van de wereld, met uitzondering van Japan.

Story0
Co spojuje sedm lidí a jejich příběhy? Není to přímo samota jako u samotářů, kteří se stáhli z civilizace do lesů, močálů a hor. I přesto žijí „tak nějak bokem“, jak je charakterizuje spisovatel. Všichni si vytvořili malý osobní svět, fascinující vesmír, kde platí jejich vlastní pravidla. Jsou na dosah ostatním, a přesto tak daleko. Nebo snad vysoko? Některé jejich historky jsou neuvěřitelné, ale autor jim věří. Proč by si člověk nemohl koupit šest tygrů ve slevě, kreslit ve spolupráci s plísní nebo najít skutečný smysl života? Víte snad o něčem, co by bylo důležitější?

Story0
In the span of a generation, oil-rich Venezuela spiraled into a dire state of economic collapse. Reporter Paula Ramón experienced the crisis firsthand as her middle-class family saw their quality of life deteriorate. Public services no longer functioned. Money lost its value. Her mother couldn’t afford to buy food, which was increasingly scarce. The once-prosperous country fell into ruin. Like many others, Ramón’s family struggled to survive each day in their beloved city, Maracaibo—until, one by one, they each made the unbearable choice to leave the home they love.

Poverty costs our country more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple.

Zum 80. Geburtstag des Autors endlich wieder erhältlich: "Man muss sich verkleiden, um die Gesellschaft zu demaskieren..." - Günter Wallraff. Niemand hat mehr Missstände aufgedeckt als er. Junge Journalisten nehmen sich an ihm ein Vorbild, wenn sie in Rollen schlüpfen, um die dunklen Seiten der gesellschaftlichen Realität aufzudecken - eine Vorgehensweise, die im Schwedischen "wallraffa" genannt wird. Wieder war Günter Wallraff undercover unterwegs. Als "Michael G." recherchierte er den Alltag in deutschen Callcentern - das Echo auf die in der ZEIT veröffentlichte Reportage war gewaltig.

Thomas Piketty über soziale Ungleichtheit und globale Gerechtigkeit. "Das ist ja interessant, was Sie schreiben, aber können Sie es vielleicht auch kürzer sagen?" Diese Frage ist Thomas Piketty, der mit seinem umfangreichen Bestseller "Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert" eine internationale Debatte über die Ursachen sozialer Ungleichheit in Gang gebracht hat, oft gestellt worden. Piketty hat diese Bitten ernst genommen und das Ergebnis ist eine Weltgeschichte der sozialen Konflikte und Konstellationen und eine Lektion in globaler Gerechtigkeit.

Kensington, Philadelphia, is distinguished only by its poverty. It is home to Ryan, Giancarlos, and Emmanuel, three Puerto Rican children who live among the most marginalized families in the United States. This is the story of their coming-of-age, which is beset by violence—the violence of homelessness, hunger, incarceration, stray bullets, sexual and physical assault, the hypermasculine logic of the streets, and the drug trade. In Kensington, eighteenth birthdays are not rites of passage but statistical miracles.

"There are children in Holbeck without crayons. Living in a city with an opera company. An opera company paid for with money from all of us. Until everyone has crayons, no one gets opera. That’s what I believe." A deeply moving memoir of how a group of artists fed their local community during the COVID pandemic. When crisis hits and audiences stay home, what’s the most useful thing a theater company can do? The answer was to become a food bank and one-stop help shop for those in need. In 15 months, Slung Low would go on to deliver over 15,000 food parcels.

Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent.

David’s audiobook is one of despair and hope; one that paints a picture of our society that is both dark and broken up by fleeting rays of light. From his plight on the streets in one of England’s richest regions, to the interactions of people he observes and encounters every day, to the impacts of Covid-19 and the changing seasons--this is poetry and prose at its most powerful. It is an audiobook that reveals the double-talk of homeless service provision--a society that consigns people as worthless without knowing their backgrounds.

Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty.

From the opening conversation on a railroad trestle, Beggars of Life rattles along like the Fast Flyer Virginia that Tully boards midway through the story. This is the book that defined Tully’s hard-boiled style and set the pattern for the 12 books that followed over the next two decades. Startling in its originality and intensity, Beggars of Life is a breakneck journey made while clinging to the lowest rungs of the social ladder.
