Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals.

"Jeg plasker naturligvis ikke bare lige ud i bølgerne. Jeg skal gå og finde ud af, hvor det ser ud til at være sikkert. Strømmen skifter, så det er ikke det samme sted hver dag. Men selv om faren er reel og havet skræmmende, så er det også dragende. Og det hører med, at jeg skal være alene. Det er afgørende. Vigtige øjeblikke kan jeg ikke godt dele med nogen." - Jytte Borberg Lise Johnsen har interviewet 14 kendte danske kvinder, der åbenhjertigt deler ud af deres livserfaring, holdninger og indsigt.

Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the 21st century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right, from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the 20th century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes.

A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing listeners to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time.

Egal ob bei Debatten über die Klimakrise, über Identitätspolitik oder das Weltgeschehen: Politik ist nichts anderes als ein Aushandlungsprozess über unterschiedliche Gefühle. In ihrem Debattenbuch fordert die Neurowissenschaftlerin und Bestsellerautorin Maren Urner, unser rationales Politikverständnis zu überdenken: Angesichts fortschreitender Krisen müssen wir endlich aufhören, Verstand und Emotionen voneinander zu trennen. Nur, wenn wir beides zusammendenken und danach handeln, können wir konstruktiv Politik gestalten.

Scholars have long debated the meaning of the pursuit of happiness, yet have tended to define it narrowly, focusing on a single intellectual tradition, and on the use of the term within a single text, the Declaration of Independence.

Antivaxxers are crazy. That is the perception we all gain from the media, the internet, celebrities, and beyond, writes Bernice Hausman in Anti/Vax, but we need to open our eyes and ears so that we can all have a better conversation about vaccine skepticism and its implications. Hausman argues that the heated debate about vaccinations and whether to get them or not is most often fueled by accusations and vilifications rather than careful attention to the real concerns of many Americans.
