"Daniel Matamala ingresa, con la lucidez que lo caracteriza, al territorio siempre necesario de la deconstrucción inteligente de las tramas en que se articulan las elites políticas y económicas. Unas tramas que permiten leer un tejido social donde el poder del dinero avanza sobre el poder político para contaminarlo. La reunión de columnas que el libro presenta permite leer cómo operan los privilegios múltiples e incesantes que posibilitan que la ley se retire de las zonas más privilegiadas o trabaje débilmente, o sencillamente no opere." (Diamela Eltit)

"Quomodo adulator ab amico internoscatur": come distinguere l’adulatore dall’amico, è un vero e proprio manuale...

"ll vero vincere, sta nel persuadere gli altri e non nell'imporre la propria decisione con la violenza. Il vero vincere sta nel convincere." Questa è soltanto una delle celebri frasi racchiuse in questa versione AudioBook del "Critone" di Platone, che in questo famoso dialogo riporta la cronaca dell'estremo colloquio tra Critone, appunto e Socrate. Il vecchio filosofo imprigionato ingiustamente e condannato a morte, rifiuta il piano di evasione che l'amico gli offre, disquisendo sui suoi principi e i suoi comportamenti, la sua moralità ineccepibile, e sul valore, per lui fondamentale, della coerenza.

On May 13, 1940, Winston Churchill stood before the House of Commons to deliver his first speech as Prime Minister. Europe was in crisis: three days earlier, Germany had invaded France and the Low Countries. Facing only feeble resistance, Hitler's armies were rapidly sweeping westward. Churchill had little support within the British government when he rose to address it that day.

Decided together with Abernathy v. Sullivan, this case concerns a full-page ad in the New York Times which alleged that the arrest of the Rev.

The 25 years between the onset of the French Revolution in 1789 and the Bourbon Restoration after Napoleon in 1814 is an astonishing period in world history. This era shook the foundations of the old world and marked a permanent shift for politics, religion, and society - not just for France, but for all of Europe. An account of the events alone reads like something out of a thrilling novel.

The American Revolutionary War has inspired best-selling books, iconic paintings, and hit Broadway musicals. More than 250 years after the “shot heard around the world” was fired in Concord, we remain fascinated by the causes and legacy of the Revolution. In 18 dynamic audio lectures, West Point history professor Robert McDonald leads you past the politics and battle tactics to explore the underlying ideas that sparked the Revolution.

The global order is always evolving, and in that sense, change could well be seen as a constant factor. But that ongoing evolution has now been given a sharper edge by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, developments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine conflict and greater friction among key powers...

The Practical Guide to Free Speech turns one of America’s most misunderstood freedoms into an engaging, surprisingly fun exploration of how the First Amendment actually works. Imagine a world where an off-color joke or unpopular opinion could land you in jail. For most of human history, that wasn’t imagination — it was reality. The First Amendment changed everything.

Climate change: a man-made doom and gloom disastrous event on the horizon, or a false god made up by a clever devil often called Lucifer? This book offers some common sense to help you decide. The difference between a diamond and a chunk of coal is just a little "know-how." They are both pure carbon. In the last few years, man has learned how to grow diamonds in labs, not mines, but the prices are nearly the same. Sell the sizzle when you've got no facts; carbon is simply carbon.

In Democracy for Sale, Neelam Taneja Perry delivers a searing, firsthand account of what happens when election fraud is alleged — and the very institutions designed to uphold democracy refuse to act. The book begins with Perry’s own congressional race in Florida’s 14th District, where documented irregularities, procedural violations, and sworn affidavits emerged in the aftermath of the 2024 election. After filing a timely election contest, she encountered an unresponsive House of Representatives and a judiciary hesitant to intervene.

This book offers a radical rethinking of one of modernity’s most mistrusted concepts. Long associated with manipulation, coercion, and failed utopias, social engineering has often meant the sacrifice of individuality for the sake of imagined harmony. But what if its core idea—deliberate design of social life—could be grounded in ethics, humility, and a deep respect for human complexity? Rejecting both the authoritarian logic of the past and the fantasy of pure spontaneity, this work proposes a mature, humane, and sustainable vision of transformation. One that shapes environments, not people.

Amérique en Guerre & Le Facteur Gémeaux, de Jesús Cediel, est un essai percutant et provocateur qui révèle les forces cachées derrière la crise qui secoue les États-Unis et leurs répercussions sur le reste du monde. Son message central est clair : l’Amérique entre dans une phase historique qui, à chaque fois, a précédé des révolutions, des guerres civiles et de profonds bouleversements mondiaux.

Prisoners of the American Dream is Mike Davis's brilliant exegesis of a persistent and major analytical problem for Marxist historians and political economists: Why has the world's most industrially advanced nation never spawned a mass party of the working class?

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.

Wie denken Autokraten? Wie kommt das Böse in die Welt? Wiederholt sich Geschichte, und wenn ja, wie? In diesem Buch spürt der Enkel des NS-Außenministers Joachim von Ribbentrop den zeitlosen Wechselwirkungen nach, die das Denken und Wirken von Individuen, aber auch von Gruppen, Gesellschaften und Nationen, bestimmen. Es ist eine historische, soziologische auch philosophische Reise durch die Jahre von 1918 bis 1945, wobei sich interessante Parallelen zu den heutigen Vorgängen in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt auftun.
