What do people in the United States and Europe think about the rich? There are several thousand books and articles on stereotypes and prejudices directed at women, people of various races or nationalities, and even the poor. In contrast, there has only been sporadic research into stereotypes about the rich, and no published comprehensive, scientific study on the topic—until now.

Det borgerlige Danmark er i krise. Selv om det fortsat ligner dødt løb i dansk politik mellem rød og blå blok, dækker meningsmålingerne over en dybereliggende idémæssig krise i den borgerlige lejr.

Blå blok har ikke formået at forny det borgerlige projekt i takt med de økonomiske, teknologiske og kulturelle ændringer, som globaliseringen har ført med sig. Det borgerlige projekt har i alt for høj grad handlet om at forsvare individet, men i dag er det fællesskabet og det kollektive, der er under pres. I denne postliberale virkelighed kæmper en splittet blå blok for at holde sig relevante.

JEG ANERKENDER IKKE LÆNGERE JERES AUTORITET er et indigneret, selvudleverende og ømt manifest om klasseskam, prol og elite, om provinsbøsser og repræsentationssmykker, moralisme og hykleri, om Tiger King og Anna og Lotte, om dem, der altid får taletid, og dem, der ikke føler sig berettiget til en stemme. Med vrede, misundelse og humor brænder Glenn Bech alle illusioner om lige muligheder ned og insisterer på at tale ud fra sine egne erfaringer i klassesamfundet.

Rassismus, Sexismus, Klassismus sind Sprachen der Unterdrückung. Die Grammatik, die ihnen unsichtbar zugrunde liegt, ist das System der Kaste. In ihrer augenöffnenden Analyse legt die Historikerin und Journalistin Isabel Wilkerson den Blick frei auf eben dieses Regelwerk, nach dem wir entscheiden, wem in einer Gesellschaft Ressourcen und Respekt zugestanden werden – und wem nicht. Wilkerson betrachtet neben den USA die Kastensysteme Indiens und des Dritten Reichs.

Der Sozialstaat hat in den Jahrzehnten der Ökologie die Ökologie erfolgreich vermieden. Die Grenzen des Wachstums waren für die Verteidiger des Sozialen sozial uninteressant, Arbeitsplätze waren wichtiger als Nistplätze. Die Klimakrise hat dieses Desinteresse unterminiert. Zunehmend tauchen die Sozialwissenschaften im Feld der Nachhaltigkeitsforschung auf und Sozialpolitikerinnen wollen das Klima schützen. Der Essay "Soziales Klima" durchmisst das Feld der Sozialen Nachhaltigkeit mit den Mitteln einer ganzheitlichen, an Hegel und Parsons informierten Soziologie.

Michelle Obama, Ugur Sahin, Frank-Walter Steinmeier: Sie erbten keine Privilegien oder Firmen in dritter Generation. Aus bescheidenen sozialen Bedingungen arbeiteten sie sich bis zum Vorbild hoch.

In ihrem neuen Buch geht Doris Märtin den Chancen, aber auch den Mühen und Fallen des sozialen Aufstiegs nach.

The Education Myth questions the idea that education represents the best, if not the only, way for Americans to access economic opportunity. As Jon Shelton shows, linking education to economic well-being was not politically inevitable. In the 18th and 19th centuries, for instance, public education was championed as a way to help citizens learn how to participate in a democracy. By the 1930s, public education, along with union rights and social security, formed an important component of a broad-based fight for social democracy.

Throughout history, and in numerous forward-thinking communities around the world today, great minds and pioneering spirits have sought and often succeeded at alternative ways of living. Some of these experiments burned brightly and briefly; others are living proof of what is possible. One of those startlingly rare books that upends our assumptions and raises our sights, Everyday Utopia gathers inspiring examples into a radically hopeful vision of how to build more contented and connected societies, as well as a practical guide to what we all can do to live the good life every day.
