With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas.

It is a widespread belief among liberals that if only Democrats can continue to dominate national elections, if only those awful Republicans are beaten into submission, the country will be on the right course. But this is to fundamentally misunderstand the modern Democratic Party. Drawing on years of research and first-hand reporting, Frank points out that the Democrats have done little to advance traditional liberal goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal.

Rarely does a work of history contain startling implications for the present, but in The People, No, Thomas Frank pulls off that explosive effect by showing us that everything we think we know about populism is wrong. Today "populism" is seen as a frightening thing, a term pundits use to describe the racist philosophy of Donald Trump and European extremists. But this is a mistake. The real story of populism is an account of enlightenment and liberation; it is the story of American democracy itself, of its ever-widening promise of a decent life for all.

From the best-selling author of What's the Matter with Kansas?, a wonderfully insightful and sardonic look at how the worst economy since the 1930s has brought about the revival of conservatism. Economic catastrophe usually brings social protest and demands for change - or at least it's supposed to. But when Thomas Frank set out in 2009 to look for expressions of American discontent, all he could find were loud demands that the economic system be made even harsher on the recession's victims....

What does a middle-class democracy look like when it comes apart? When, after 40 years of economic triumph, America’s winners persuade themselves that they owe nothing to the rest of the country? Rendezvous with Oblivion is a collection of interlocking essays examining how inequality has manifested itself in our cities, in our jobs, in the way we travel - and of course in our politics, where in 2016, millions of anxious ordinary people rallied to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good.

This is volume one of Guts, Grit, and the Grind, a book series akin to a Chicken Soup for the Man’s Soul. Here you will find stories of mental health challenges of men, written by men, for men in similar circumstances - inspiring stories of resilience, recovery, and transformation. The resource is also a workbook, similar to an automobile owners manual, using car metaphors many men can relate to like "preventative maintenance", "troubleshooting", and "check engine".

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve. It is a remarkable decade.

In diesem Podcast möchte ich eine neue Perspektive anbieten, die Welt im Außen und in unserem Inneren zu sehen, wahrzunehmen und dadurch wieder zu Bewusstsein zu kommen. In meinen Augen leben wir Menschen permanent hypnotisiert von unseren eigenen Gedanken, Annahmen und Glaubenssätzen und haben uns so unbewusst zum Opfer unserer Umstände gemacht. Wir werden ein neues Licht auf diese alltäglichen Situationen werfen, und gleichzeitig ein metaphysisches Verständnis für die Evolution von Bewusstsein entdecken. ...
