Brought to you by Penguin. Today, globalism has a bad reputation. 'Citizens of the world' are depicted as recklessly uninterested in how international economic forces can affect local communities. Meanwhile, nationalists are often derided as racists and bigots. But what if the two were not so...

A collection of essays from Rescue!History, a group of historians concerned with the challenge of climate change - how we got here and where we go next. This collection of essays proposes that climate change means serious peril. Our argument, however, is not about the science per se. It is about us, our deep and more recent history, and how we arrived at this calamitous impasse. With contributions from academic activists and independent researchers, History at the End of the World challenges advocates of ‘business as usual’ to think again. But in its wide-ranging assessment of how we ...

Matières premières avariées, marchandises trafiquées, contrôles d'hygiène contournés, Christophe Brusset dénonce les multiples dérives dont il est, depuis vingt ans, le complice ou le témoin dans les coulisses de l'industrie agroalimentaire. Ingénieur de haut niveau devenu dirigeant au sein de groupes internationaux, à 44 ans, il a décidé de "faire aujourd'hui son devoir" et de briser la loi du silence.

For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.

China and the US are in a pitched battle to control the way the world functions - from the global trade and investment regime and choice of reserve currency to its top products and which country is the most influential. Governments, businesses, and individuals are being forced to make a choice: lean in the direction of the eagle and pursue a free, democratic, and market-oriented economic and political system, or lean in the direction of the panda, toward that of an authoritarian form of government and state-dominated economic system.

New York Times bestselling author Ram Charan gives business leaders the guidance they need to succeed in a world in which economic power has shifted. The global tilt is nothing less than an irreversible shift of economic power—jobs, wealth, and market opportunities—from a small part of...

Many studies of China's relations with and influence on Southeast Asia tend to focus on how Beijing has used its power asymmetry to achieve regional influence. Yet, scholars and pundits often fail to appreciate the complexity of the contemporary Chinese state and society, and just how fragmented, decentralized, and internationalized China is today. In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China's influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China.

There are those who believe our world is ruled by Governments represented by and for the people. There are those who believe we are ruled over by a Technocratic and Shadowy ruling-class elite, made up of unelected Bureaucrats. Then, there are the handful of those in-the-know, who know the truth; that our World Governments have given us all the false reality in which we now live, purposefully imposed upon us by something even deeper than either a legitimately elected or Shadow Government; that our world is being ruled by something far less tangible -- Numbers. Jeremy Stone has broken the ...

America is in decline, and the rise of the East suggests a bleak future for the world’s only superpower - so goes the conventional wisdom. But what if the traditional measures of national status are no longer as important as they once were? What if America’s well-being was assessed according to entirely different factors? In The Upside of Down, Charles Kenny argues that America’s so-called decline is only relative to the newfound success of other countries.

Economist and syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni argues that the world is undergoing rapid and unexpected great transformations fueled by what she calls rogue economics. Eagerly awaited around the world (translation rights have already been sold throughout Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia), Napoleoni's account is based on top-to-bottom primary-source interviews from banking executives in New York to Russian prostitutes to London morgue workers.

Millions of Black South African workers struggled against apartheid to redeem employment and production from a history of abuse, insecurity, and racial despotism. Almost two decades later, however, the prospects of a dignified life of wage-earning work remain unattainable for most South Africans. Through extensive archival and ethnographic research, Franco Barchiesi documents and interrogates this important dilemma in the country's democratic transition.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the most ambitious infrastructure project ever undertaken, and will ultimately result in more than one trillion dollars of investment by the time it is finished. The initiative is breathtaking in its scope and scale, with scores of countries participating and dozens of massive dams, railways, roads, and power projects transforming the landscape throughout the developing world.

Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family members. British observers decried an "Asian culture" of ritual suicide. In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local and global forces in nineteenth-century China.

We have lost the plot when it comes to migration. In our collective consciousness, the term 'migration' conjures up images of hordes of refugees fleeing 'their' country, escaping on rafts and coming to invade 'ours'. When we think of migration, we think of (largely unwanted) immigration and its ills. We've got it all wrong. Far from being abnormal, the act of going in search of a better life is at the core of the human experience. And now a new kind of nomad is emerging.

Au moment où la montée vertigineuse du prix des hydrocarbures et le renchérissement des matières premières suscite déjà au Sud des émeutes de la faim, menaçant au Nord des professions entières, remettant en cause des modes de vie, voici qu'un péril plus angoissant commence à faire parler de lui : le problème de l'eau. Dans dix ans, dans vingt ans, aurons-nous assez d'eau ? Assez d'eau pour éviter qu'à toutes les raisons de faire la guerre s'ajoute celle du manque d'eau ?

What if Latin America Ruled the World? deftly braids together the histories of North and South America from the exploits of Hernán Cortés to the political showmanship of Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales. Scholar Oscar Guardiola-Rivera is an ideal guide for a searching portrait of the Latin America that we rarely hear about.

Written by Susan Bradford, The End of Globalism reveals how elites used Donald Trump as a Trojan horse to derail and discredit patriots, the last vestige of nationalism which stood in the way of the New World Order. Born into great wealth, Trump aspired to greater things, but his eyes were often bigger than his wallet. Elites were all too happy to throw him a financial lifeline, but for a price, concluding that his greatest asset was his brand, that of a charismatic personality who personified success, wealth, and the American dream. After a class action exposed rampant fraud within the ...
