"Auf Grund einer nicht unbeträchtlichen Erfahrung stelle ich hier fest: der Kapitalist kennt die Rechte und Ansprüche des Arbeiters nicht, und der Arbeiter kennt die Nöte und Gefahren der Kapitalisten nicht. Darin liegt die wahre Ursache aller zwischen beiden aufkommenden Reibungen." Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), der seinerzeit einer der drei reichsten Amerikaner war, schrieb einen der ersten Ratgeber für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: "The Empire of Business". In diesem Bestseller erklärt er, wie man es nach oben schaffen kann – und begründete damit das Genre der "How-to"-Literatur.

„El hombre nace libre y, sin embargo, por todas partes se encuentra encadenado.“ - En El contrato social, Rousseau explora el concepto de libertad y las estructuras políticas que pueden permitir que las personas la adquieran. Argumenta que el poder soberano de un estado no reside en ningún gobernante sino en la voluntad de la población en general.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard reflect on the role of the South in America's long descent into Trumpism. In 1974, Southern author John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie, reflecting on the double-edged reality of the South becoming more like the rest of the country and vice versa. Tucker and Gaillard dive deeper into that reality from the time that Egerton published his book until the present.

This is a reporter’s chronicle spanning three generations, backed by firsthand accounts of luminaries, peppered with numerous anecdotes and a passionate examination of his own beliefs. It is as scathing in its takedown of bigotry as it is lucid in charting a blow-by-blow account of our recent past. It is a tribute to the making of India and its founders as well as the affirmation of the will of the Indians to place the power in the hands of the people.

No American leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor Ron DeSantis. Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honours from Harvard Law School and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron DeSantis learned the same lesson: he didn’t want to be part of the leftist elite.

A firsthand account from the blue-collar boy who grew up to take on Disney and Dr. Fauci, The Courage to Be Free delivers something rare from an elected leader: stories of victory. This book is a winning blueprint for patriots across the country. And it is a rallying cry for every American who wishes to preserve our liberties.

From Europe to the United States, opportunistic politicians have exploited the economic crisis, terrorist attacks, and an unprecedented influx of refugees to bring hateful and reactionary views from the margins of political discourse into the mainstream. They have won the votes of workers, women, gays, and Jews; turned openly xenophobic ideas into state policy; and pulled besieged centrist parties to the right. How did we get here?

A new biography of Karl Marx, tracing the life of this titanic figure and the legacy of his work. Karl Marx remains the most influential and controversial political thinker in history. He died quietly in 1883 and a mere 11 mourners attended his funeral, but a year later he was being hailed as "the Prophet himself" whose name and writings would "endure through the ages." He has been viewed as a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, even a literary craftsman. But who was Marx? What informed his critiques of modern society?

How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World is a must-listen for every freedom-loving individual. The book reveals the ways in which the communist specter has burrowed into the minds of today’s people.

Totalitarismus ist kein Zufall und bildet sich nicht in einem Vakuum. Der Ursprung liegt in dem Phänomen der „Massenbildung", einer Art kollektiver Psychose. Mit detaillierten Analysen, Beispielen und Ergebnissen aus jahrelanger Forschung legt Mattias Desmet die Schritte dar, die zur Massenbildung führen: Aus einem allgemeinen Gefühl der Einsamkeit und des Mangels an sozialen Bindungen und Sinnhaftigkeit entstehen Ängste und Unzufriedenheit, die sich wiederum in Frustration und Aggression manifestieren.

This is a unique audio primer and celebration of the inspirational life and great work of revolutionary and social reformer Commandante Ernesto Rafael "Che" Guevara de la Serna Lynch. Ernesto was born June 14, 1928, in Rosario, Argentina, in a family with aristocratic roots but strong socialistic ideals. In June of 1955, young Ernesto met Raul Castro. On July 8th, Fidel Castro arrived in Mexico to join his brother and Ernesto.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II, he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy.

Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values.

Julian Gewirtz recovers the debates of the 1980s, tracing the Communist Party's diverse attitudes toward markets, state control, and sweeping technological change, as well as freewheeling public argument over political liberalization. After Tiananmen, however, Beijing systematically erased these discussions of alternative directions. Using newly available Chinese sources, Gewirtz details how the leadership purged the key reformist politician Zhao Ziyang and indoctrinated China and the international community in the new official narrative.

What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This "democratic dilemma" is one of the most persistent, vexing problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle East. When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy.

"Der Mann, der in Reichtum stirbt, stirbt in Schande!" In der Tat, das sagte Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), seinerzeit drittreichster Amerikaner nach John D. Rockefeller und Cornelius Vanderbilt. Gemessen an der Kaufkraft von 2014, besaß er ein Vermögen von über 300 Milliarden Dollar – und gab doch das meiste davon für wohltätige Zwecke wieder her. Er ließ zahlreiche Bibliotheken bauen, gründete eine Hochschule und förderte den Bau des Internationalen Gerichtshofs in Den Haag.

Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But Jason Brennan says they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough.

Field has spent his adult life fighting against poverty in Britain, through parliament and through his strong personal influence. Poverty for him has injustice at its root and as he explains in this book, he has found allies on all sides of the political spectrum. He was appointed by Tony Blair to be the Secretary of State for Pensions, but the reforms he advocated were so radical and essentially just, that Tony Blair could not contemplate them and Field stood down. Previously he had been Chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee under John Major.

"Nessuno parla mai dei crimini del comunismo!": sul serio? Dagli eccidi perpetrati dai bolscevichi al massacro di Piazza Tienanmen a Pechino, i crimini dei regimi comunisti o sedicenti tali non sono mai stati sconosciuti, anche quando si è provato a tacerli o negarli; hanno accompagnato la storia del secolo scorso come un’ombra cupa e assillante, condizionandone il corso.

It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true.
