Our long history of illicit imports has ranged from West Indies molasses and Dutch gunpowder in the 18th century, to British industrial technologies and African slaves in the 19th century, to French condoms and Canadian booze in the early 20th century, to Mexican workers and Colombian cocaine in the modern era. Contraband capitalism, it turns out, has been an integral part of American capitalism.

We have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there's no stopping it. The question, according to Matthew Kahn, is not how were going to avoid a hotter future but how were going to adapt to it. In Climatopolis, Kahn, one of the worlds foremost experts on the economics of the environment, argues that cities and regions will adapt to rising temperatures over time, slowly transforming our everyday lives.

The unique historical relationship between capitalism and the Jews is crucial to understanding modern European and Jewish history. But the subject has been addressed less often by mainstream historians than by anti-Semites or apologists. In this book Jerry Muller, a leading historian of capitalism, separates myth from reality to explain why the Jewish experience with capitalism has been so important and complex - and so ambivalent.

Stiamo lasciando volontariamente aperte le porte della nostra civiltà ai barbari, dimenticando le nostre radici greche e romane? O forse siamo noi i barbari, quando utilizziamo il nostro passato per giustificare il peggio della nostra civiltà? Ecco un piccolo "libro nero" sull’uso politico dell’antichità, che ci aiuta a comprendere cosa c’è di vivo e cosa c’è di morto nel nostro legame con i Greci e i Romani. L’insegnamento dei classici greci e latini è certo un antidoto efficace alla barbarie dei nostri tempi. Giusto?

La marcia del neofascismo italiano verso l’atlantismo più radicale incominciò subito dopo la stipula del patto politico-militare tra gli Stati Uniti e il governo franchista spagnolo. Questo confortevole contesto, collaudato da oltre settant’anni, spiega la naturalezza con cui gli eredi del Movimento sociale italiano (MSI), mutate le denominazioni, giunsero tempestivamente a far parte del governo italiano sin dai primi anni Novanta e, nei mesi scorsi, al vertice di esso.

È stata definita una "tempesta perfetta" quella che si è abbattuta sull’Occidente. La guerra, la crisi energetica e l’emergenza climatica hanno sconvolto le nostre vite quotidiane. Per la prima volta nella memoria recente, tra profezie di scaffali vuoti al supermercato e rischio di carestia globale, è sembrata addirittura minacciata la disponibilità di cibo sulle nostre tavole. Ma le cose sono andate sul serio come ci hanno raccontato i media? Che ruolo ha avuto la speculazione finanziaria? E la politica, quali interessi sta tutelando?
