Is American democracy more fragile than we like to believe? This book offers a direct, fact-based analysis of Donald Trump’s rise to power, focusing on how authoritarian political strategies can reappear in modern democratic systems. It is a highly readable, fact‑driven political analysis that compares Trump’s rise and methods with the early playbook of Adolf Hitler - both using speeches, political tactics, elections, and laws to gain and hold power. The comparison concerns how power is pursued and consolidated, not how Hitler later exercised power once in office. Drawing on ...

In Gaetano Mosca's groundbreaking work, The Ruling Class (originally published as Elementi di Scienza Politica in 1896), the Italian political philosopher shatters the illusions of pure democracy by revealing a timeless truth: in every society, from ancient civilizations to modern nations, power is always concentrated in the hands of an organized minority–the ruling class.

Global economic power is shifting, liberal market-oriented democracies face growing domestic turmoil, and international trade and financial integration is crumbling. How did we get here? In The Doom Loop, economist Eswar Prasad argues that the very forces that we long believed could stabilize the world order are fueling its destabilization. Rather than promoting shared prosperity, globalization has instead deepened economic inequality, stoked political backlash, and prompted escalating trade wars.

The Last American President rips open America's wounded democracy to expose a terrifying truth: Donald Trump isn't an anomaly—he's the inevitable product of a system engineered to fail.

Dieses Buch ist aus einem inneren Ringen entstanden. Ein Ringen zwischen meiner beruflichen Welt – geprägt von Technologie, User Experience und klaren Business-Entscheidungen und meinem Glauben, der mir Orientierung und Werte schenkt. Beide Welten haben eines gemeinsam: sie stellen die Frage, für wen wir eigentlich arbeiten. Für uns selbst? Für eine Elite? Oder für die Menschen, die am Ende davon betroffen sind? Die Antwort auf diese Frage entscheidet über Erfolg oder Scheitern. Im Produkt genauso wie in der Politik.

You were born into a system you never designed, yet you defend it as if you built it yourself. Carl Jung argued that what we refuse to face in ourselves eventually controls us from the shadows. Nations are no different. Unexamined fear becomes a lever for those who know how to pull it; shame is weaponized into silence; and groupthink eventually replaces conscience. In this environment, populations mistake the performance of democracy for the reality of freedom. This book is not a partisan critique. It doesn't look left or right; it looks underneath. Shadow Work for a Nation dismantles the ...
