Guglielmo Giannini e Umberto Bossi, Achille Lauro e Antonio Di Pietro, le campagne di Almirante per la pena di morte e le esternazioni di Cossiga, la rivolta di Reggio Calabria e gli show televisivi di Berlusconi, i referendum radicali contro il finanziamento pubblico dei partiti e i girotondi capeggiati da Nanni Moretti, per finire - momentaneamente - con Beppe Grillo ossessionato dagli zombie e dal "tutti a casa": che cosa accomuna eventi e personaggi così disparati?

In ihrem neuen Buch erzählt Jana Hensel vom Ende eines großen ostdeutschen Traums. Was vor über 35 Jahren als Aufbruch in eine neue Ära begann, wird heute von vielen Ostdeutschen zunehmend infrage gestellt – die Demokratie selbst gerät ins Wanken. Scharfsinnig zeichnet Hensel den langen Weg nach rechts nach, der für viele einst links begann und durch eine wiedervereinte Republik führt, die mitten in einer ihrer schwersten Krisen steckt.

George Orwell's moving reflections on the English character and his passionate belief in the need for political change. 'The Lion and the Unicorn' was written in London during the worst period of the Blitz. It is vintage Orwell, a dynamic outline of his belief in socialism, patriotism and an English revolution. His fullest political statement, it has been described as 'one of the most moving and incisive portraits of the English character' and is as relevant now as it ever has been.

e grandi crisi globali oggi passano per l’Italia, perché è il campo di battaglia per le trasformazioni del XXI secolo. Non è la prima volta nella Storia che la nostra Penisola, nel bel mezzo del Mediterraneo, diventa l’epicentro di contese strategiche e rivalità economiche, ma la simultaneità fra ricostruzione europea, populismo, affermazione di nuovi diritti, duello fra Stati Uniti e Cina, competizione fra potenze nel Mediterraneo e ritorno della minaccia jihadista ci assegna un ruolo inatteso sul palcoscenico internazionale.

En un recorrido fascinante que nos lleva del mundo árabe en tiempos de Mahoma a las ciudades-Estado de la Italia medieval, de la Latinoamérica de las dictaduras a la Suecia que inventó la socialdemocracia, de la caótica República de Weimar a la China imperial, El pasillo estrecho nos introduce en el que tal vez sea el proceso más fascinante de la historia: el de la obtención de la libertad.

The Prince is a treatise that systematically charts the best strategies for successful governing. It unapologetically places realism above idealism, showing would-be kings how to get what they want while appearing to be generous and honourable, and advocates that the means — cruelty, duplicity and horror —justify the ends of secure monarchical rule. But it can also be read as the work of a secret republican subtly undermining the despotism of the ruling Medici family.

The State and Revolution (1917) is a well-known book by Vladimir Lenin. In the book, Lenin describes the role of the state in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Brought to you by Penguin. Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there’s no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless...

O capitalismo está morto. Bem-vindo ao tecnofeudalismoAs dinâmicas tradicionais do capitalismo não governam mais a economia. O que destituiu esse sistema foi o próprio capital e as mudanças tecnológicas aceleradas das últimas duas décadas, que, como um vírus, destruíram seu hospedeiro. Os dois pilares que sustentavam o capitalismo foram substituídos: os mercados deram lugar às plataformas digitais, que são verdadeiros feudos das grandes tecnologias, e o lucro foi substituído pela pura extração de rendas.

Cuando era una niña, con apenas once años, Lea Ypi fue testigo del fin del mundo. En 1990 el régimen comunista de Albania, el último bastión del estalinismo en Europa, se desplomó. El cambio de sistema político dio paso a la democracia, pero no todo fue color de rosa. La transición hacia el liberalismo supuso la reestructuración de la economía, la pérdida masiva de empleos, la oleada migratoria hacia Italia, la corrupción y la quiebra del país.
