Story
Nur wer sich große Ziele setzt, erreicht sie auch! Wer glaubt, die einzigen Garanten zum großen Erfolg sind Talent, Intelligenz oder einfach nur Zufall, der irrt. Berühmte Persönlichkeiten und angesehene Unternehmensgründer - so unterschiedlich sie auch sein mögen - haben alle eine entscheidende Sache gemeinsam: Sie streben von Anfang an nach Großem! Rainer Zitelmann beweist in der, nun im Redline Verlag erscheinenden, überarbeiteten Neuauflage seines Buches, dass Leute wie Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Rogers oder Coco Chanel alle von Anfang an hoch hinaus wollten und es deshalb auch geschafft haben.

Story
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.

Story
An diesem Hörbuch werden sich Kapitalismuskritiker die Zähne ausbeißen. Zitelmann prüft die zehn häufigsten Einwände gegen den Kapitalismus: Kapitalismus führe zu Hunger und Armut, zu steigender Ungleichheit, zu überflüssigem Konsum, zu Umweltzerstörung und Klimawandel. Im Kapitalismus zähle nur der Profit zulasten der Menschlichkeit, im Kapitalismus dominierten Monopole, und die Demokratie werde ausgehöhlt.

Story
"Der Markt hat versagt, wir brauchen mehr Staat!" - das behaupten seit dem Ausbruch der Finanzkrise vor zehn Jahren Politik, Medien und Intellektuelle. Rainer Zitelmann, mehrfacher Bestsellerautor, vertritt die Gegenthese: Mehr Kapitalismus tut den Menschen gut. Der Autor begibt sich mit dem Hörer auf eine Reise durch die Kontinente und Zeiten und zeigt: In Ländern, in denen der Staat seinen Einfluss beschränkt und die Menschen dem Markt mehr vertrauen, steigt der Wohlstand und geht die Armut zurück. Belege für diese These finden sich in Afrika, Asien, Europa und Amerika.

Known as the “Wizard of the Kremlin,” the enigmatic Vadim Baranov was a TV producer before becoming a political advisor to Putin, aka “The Czar.” After his resignation from this position, legends about him multiply, with no one able to distinguish truth from fiction. Until one night, when he tells his story to the narrator of this book… He immerses us in the heart of the Russian state, where sycophants and oligarchs have been engaging in open warfare, and where Vadim, now the regime’s main spin doctor, turns an entire country into an avant-garde political stage.

Like it or not, our country's future depends on Congress.

Yet today, contempt for Congress is nearly universal. To a large extent, even members of Congress themselves are unable to explain and defend the value of their institution.

In The Politics Industry, Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis - and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework - to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does, and how the duopoly has led to the devastating outcomes we see today. Using this competition lens, Gehl and Porter identify the most powerful lever for change - a strategy comprised of a clear set of choices in two key areas: how our elections work and how we make our laws.

Almost every day it seems that our world becomes more fractured, more digital, and more chaotic. Sheila Liming has the answer: we need to hang out more. Starting with the assumption that play is to children as hanging out is to adults, Liming makes a brilliant case for the necessity of unstructured social time as a key element of our cultural vitality. The book asks questions like what is hanging out? why is it important? why do we do it? how do we do it? and examines the various ways we hang out-in groups, online, at parties, at work.

About 2,500 years ago, Plato wrote a set of dialogues that depict Socrates in conversation. The way Socrates asks questions, and the reasons why, amount to a whole way of thinking. This is the Socratic method - one of humanity’s great achievements. More than a technique, the method is an ethic of patience, inquiry, humility, and doubt. It is an aid to better thinking, and a remedy for bad habits of mind, whether in law, politics, the classroom, or tackling life’s big questions at the kitchen table.

The seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English. It started as they suddenly found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and it ended in the shadow of an invasion by the Dutch. Under James I, England suffered terrorism and witch panics. Under his son Charles, state and society collapsed into civil war, to be followed by an army coup and regicide. For a short time—for the only time in history—England was a republic. There were bitter struggles over faith and Parliament asserted itself like never before. There were no boundaries to politics.

Story
In this major and wholly original contribution to military history, John Keegan reverses the usual convention of writing about war in terms of generals and nations in conflict, which tends to leave the common soldier as cipher. Instead, he focuses on what a set battle is like for the man in the thick of it.

Did Wall Street cause the mess we are in? Should Washington place stronger regulations on the financial industry? Can we lower unemployment rates by controlling the free market? Answer: no. Not only is free-market capitalism good for the economy, it is our only hope for recovery. As the nation’s longest-serving CEO of one of the top 25 financial institutions, John Allison has had a unique inside view of the events leading up to the financial crisis.

Story
As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today.

Story
Three perplexing puzzles - and three inimitable Wimsey solutions - told with wit, humor, and suspense. Narrator Ian Carmichael, the quintessential Lord Peter, provides great entertainment with his talented performance of these three stories. In "Striding Folly", a frightening dream provides a haunting premonition. A house numbered 13 is in a street of even numbers, and a dead man was never alive in "The Haunted Policeman." And "Talboys" sees Lord Peter's own children accused of theft.

Story
Senator Frank Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community.

Story
Ellen Meiksins Wood offers a clear and accessible introduction to the theories and debates concerning the birth of capitalism, imperialism, and the modern nation state. Capitalism is not a natural and inevitable consequence of human nature, nor simply an extension of age-old practices of trade and commerce. Rather, it is a late and localized product of very specific historical conditions, which required great transformations in social relations and in the relationship between humans and nature.
