The Covid pandemic quickly led to the greatest mobilization of emergency powers in human history. By early April 2020, half the world's population were living under quarantine. The most devastating pandemic in a century and the policies adopted in response to it upended life as we knew it. In this book, Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee examine our pandemic response and pose some provocative questions: Why did we ignore pre-Covid plans for managing a pandemic? Did we adequately consider the costs and benefits of different policy options?

Drawing on historical analysis, psychiatric insights, and real-world case studies, DeVine unveils how political activism has hijacked the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), shifting transgenderism from a recognized disorder warranting therapeutic intervention to a celebrated identity demanding uncritical...

¿Por qué alguien con pocos recursos vota a partidos que recortan sus derechos? ¿Qué lleva a un obrero, una pensionista o un parado a defender a quienes legislan en su contra? El facha pobre no es una caricatura ni una exageración: es una figura cada vez más real en las democracias modernas. Es el que vota con rabia, con miedo, con desinformación. Es el que cree que el inmigrante le quita el trabajo, que el feminismo le roba protagonismo, que la sanidad pública es un lujo insostenible. Y, al mismo tiempo, es quien más necesita todo eso. Marcelo Ungarit desnuda con humor ácido, ...

In an era of rising political polarization, Socialism is For the Socialists Not For the People by Dr. Andrew Wharton delivers a searing critique of socialism’s enduring allure and its repeated failures throughout history. Drawing on a wealth of historical evidence—from the utopian experiments of the 19th century and the tyrannical regimes of the Soviet Union, China, and Venezuela to the post-war divides in Europe—this book exposes how socialist ideologies promise equality and prosperity but inevitably lead to economic inefficiency, authoritarian control, and human suffering. Shifting ...

Over the last several decades, Americans have become increasingly aware that the people of this nation no longer determine its destiny, despite the intentions our founding fathers made clear in our founding documents. The two-party system has become a weapon used by those in power to maintain the dysfunctional status quo in Washington and on Wall Street. This system has revealed itself to be steeped in corruption, covert agendas, and a fast-evolving surveillance state.

The Trump 2.0 Administration has been interesting, as was the DOGE Commission. Musk was correct in backing President Trump as a candidate, both as a scientist and a businessman. We now know that the DOGE Commission and all the tariff talk are just distractions, and I am sure that the Trump 2.0 Administration will come up with something new after they finish replacing one talking Federal Reserve Chairman head with another. Money supply is what we need, not tariffs, as the government prints all money; thus, we need more money and capitalism and less tariff nonsense. Clearly, Musk was just ...

La Administración Trump 2.0 ha sido interesante, al igual que la Comisión DOGE. Musk acertó al apoyar al presidente Trump como candidato, tanto como científico como empresario. Ahora sabemos que la Comisión DOGE y todo el discurso arancelario son solo distracciones, y estoy seguro de que la Administración Trump 2.0 ideará algo nuevo después de que terminen de reemplazar a un presidente de la Reserva Federal parlante por otro. Lo que necesitamos es masa monetaria, no aranceles, ya que el gobierno imprime todo el dinero; por lo tanto, necesitamos más dinero y capitalismo, y menos ...

In the popular imagination, lethal injection is a slight pinch and a swift nodding off to forever-sleep. It is performed by well-qualified medical professionals. It is regulated and carefully conducted. And it usually provides a "humane" death. In reality, however, not one of those things is true. Secrets of the Killing State pulls back the curtain on this clandestine punishment practice, presenting a view of lethal injection that states have worked hard to hide. Botched executions are a part of this story, but they are just the tip of the iceberg.

"Review of Adolph Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'" is an essay of George Orwell. "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle" or "My Fight") is a 1925 autobiographical manifesto by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler. The work describes the process by which Hitler became antisemitic and outlines his political ideology and future plans for Germany. Volume 1 of "Mein Kampf" was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. The book was edited first by Emil Maurice, then by Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess.

Since protestors ripped through the Capitol Building in 2021, the threat of constitutional crisis has loomed over our nation. The foundational tenets of American democracy seem to be endangered, and many citizens believe this danger is unprecedented in our history. But Americans have weathered many constitutional crises, often accompanied by the same violence and chaos experienced on January 6. However, these crises occurred on the state level. In Sedition, Marcus Alexander Gadson uncovers these episodes of civil unrest and examines how state governments handled them.

In Dysphoria Mundi, Paul B. Preciado, best known for his 2013 cult classic Testo Junkie, has written a mutant text assembled from essays, philosophy, poetry, and autofiction that captures a moment of profound change and possibility. Rooted in the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking account of the societal convulsions that have ensued, Preciado tries to make sense of our times from within the swirl of a revolutionary present moment.

A Nation That Refuses to Rise Haiti is not poor. That may sound provocative — even outrageous — to some. But truth, especially when it shatters long-held illusions, is rarely comfortable. Haiti is a nation rich in natural beauty, fertile land, human talent, strategic geography, and a revolutionary history unmatched in the Americas. It is not poverty that curses Haiti — it is amnesia. We are a nation that has forgotten its riches. We have forgotten that we sit on one of the most promising reserves of clean energy in the Caribbean — yet we import fuel by the ton. We have forgotten ...

Theology of Money is a reflection on the main constitutional problems of the current social and economic system that are threatening the very existence of civilization and thousands of species on the planet, something that humanity has never faced throughout its existence. This crisis has its roots in the dominant economic system since the XVII century: capitalism and its latest most destructive versions, such as neoliberalism, the culture of consumerism, neofacist politics and the neofeudal economy of corporations.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Staatsphilosophen der Neuzeit. Sein Standardwerk Der Fürst ist noch immer Pflichtlektüre für Manager und BWL-Studenten. Wie gelange ich an die Macht? Und wenn ich sie habe - wie erhalte ich sie? Sein zweites Hauptwerk, die Discorsi , befasst sich mit dem idealen Staat - und wie er zu bewahren sei. Er bedient sich dabei der römischen Geschichte und zeigt viele Beispiele, wie das zu Machiavellis Zeit darniederliegende Italien zu neuem Ruhm gelangen könne.

On aurait tort de considérer le XIXe siècle comme lointain ou révolu. Sur bien des points, comme l'intense politisation des sociétés européennes, la diversité des pratiques de mobilisation et de contestation, l'inventivité idéologique et culturelle, la réflexion critique sur la modernité et le progrès, cette période est un laboratoire riche d'expériences et d'enseignements. Restituer les grandes dynamiques et tensions politiques qui la traversent permet non seulement de mieux comprendre les formes du changement historique, mais aussi de se repérer dans un présent incertain.

Pitkethly draws on decades of study in sociology, mental health counseling, and history to provide what he calls a “human-centered evaluation” of America’s origin story. He analyzes the country as one might a person—its family tree, family of origin, conception, birth, infancy, personality, character development, and current identity crisis.

This book takes you into the turbulent world of politics, where power is not only on the surface, but also embedded deep within invisible structures and networks. Shadows of Authority reveals the subtle forms of governance where crucial decisions are made beyond the public eye.

Überall in Europa und mit Trump auch in den USA gewinnen Rechtspopulisten massiv an Unterstützung und gefährden die liberale Demokratie. Ihr Ziel ist die schrittweise Aushöhlung der demokratischen Institutionen, um ihre eigene Agenda durchzusetzen: gegen Migration, gegen die EU, gegen die vermeintlichen »Eliten«, für einen autoritär regierten Nationalstaat, in dem die freiheitliche Rechtsordnung zunehmend ausgehebelt wird. Ihre augenöffnende Recherche zeigt unter einem Brennglas, welcher Gefahr Deutschland gegenübersteht.
