Der brutale Terroranschlag der Hamas vom 7. Oktober ist zu einer Nagelprobe politischer und moralischer Haltung weltweit geworden. Das Schweigen der deutschen Linken und der Jubel muslimischer Einwanderer, die Unterstützung der Palästinenser durch die Klima-Aktivistin Greta Thunberg, die abgerissenen Plakate der Entführten in London, das Entsetzen der Politiker, die die Aufnahmen der Täter gesehen haben–viele Gewissheiten hat der 7. Oktober erledigt. In Deutschland–selbst in Deutschland–zeigt sich der Antisemitismus wieder so offen, dass man vermuten könnte, er wäre nie weg gewesen.

Un giorno non ci saremo più. Ma rimarranno online tutte le tracce che abbiamo lasciato, la nostra storia a portata di click: dai profili social ai nostri ricordi più intimi. Senza accorgercene, Internet si è riempito di fantasmi digitali, account inattivi pronti a ricordarci la loro esistenza: ecco cosa significa vivere (e morire) nell'era social. Il lutto non è più un'esperienza privata: si è espanso nel mondo virtuale esattamente come tutto il resto, ridefinendo la nostra relazione con la perdita e la memoria.

America is in a new Cold War with Russia even more dangerous than the one the world barely survived in the 20th century. All of this is exacerbated by Washington’s war-like demonizing of the Kremlin leadership and by Russiagate’s unprecedented allegations. US mainstream media accounts are highly selective and seriously misleading. American “disinformation”, not only Russian, is a growing peril.

As the rookie Republican governor of deep-blue Maryland, Larry Hogan had already beaten some daunting odds. A common-sense businessman with a down-to-earth style, he had won a long-shot election the Washington Post called "a stunning upset". He'd worked with cops and neighborhood leaders to quell Baltimore's worst rioting in 47 years. He'd saved his state from fiscal catastrophe, winning praise from Democrats, Republicans, and independents.

A call to courage from a soldier who refused to stand by as antisemitism surged and Western values came under siege. The world is shifting. Antisemitism is on the rise. The West stands at a crossroads. Hatred was once whispered. Now it roars—and too many look away. But what happens when someone outside the Jewish community refuses to stay silent, instead choosing to speak out boldly and without apology?

In We're Still Here, Jennifer M. Silva tells a deep, multi-generational story of pain, place, and politics that will endure long after the Trump administration. Drawing on over 100 interviews with black, white, and Latino working-class residents of a declining coal town in Pennsylvania, Silva reveals how the decline of the American Dream is lived and felt. The routines and rhythms of traditional working-class life such as manual labor, unions, marriage, church, and social clubs have diminished.

The current school system churns out millions of illiterates and mental zombies—but here's how we're going to fix it, starting today. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents across the nation grapple with a new and horrifying understanding of just how bad our educational system has become. It all adds up to a system that seems hopelessly, terribly, and irrevocably broken.

The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line.

Women have made up roughly half of the college-educated workforce for years, and before the onset of the economic crisis of 2020, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the labor force was the lowest on record. But women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status. The endurance of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress? Ammerman and Groysberg focus on the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions that create gender imbalance.

James B. Rule proposes eleven key reforms in the control and use of personal information—including far-reaching new rights for individuals and meaningful responsibilities for data-keeping organizations—all aimed at redressing the balance of power between ordinary citizens and data hungry corporate and government institutions.

Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .

Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of postcolonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This audiobook makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence - or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab’s human rights movement.

In the 1950s manufacturing generated nearly 30 percent of US income. Over the past 55 years that share has gradually declined to less than 12 percent at the same time that real estate, finance, and Wall Street trading have grown. While manufacturing's share of the US economy shrinks, it expands in countries such as China and Germany that have a strong industrial policy.

In September 2016, the provocative essay "The Flight 93 Election" galvanized many voters by spotlighting the stakes ahead in November and reproaching complacent elements of the Right.

A new criticism emerged that he had painted a dire scenario to be averted, but no positive vision.  Here, Anton presents the positive ideal that inspired him - a distillation of his thinking on Americanism and the West, refined over decades.
