This book restores a little-known advocate of Indian rights to her place in history. In June 1889 a widowed Brooklyn artist named Catherine Weldon traveled to the Standing Rock Reservation in Dakota Territory to help Sitting Bull hold on to land that the government was trying to wrest from his people. Her efforts were counterproductive; she was ordered to leave the reservation, and the Standing Rock Sioux were bullied into signing away their land. But she returned with her teenage son, settling at Sitting Bull's camp on the Grand River.

The world’s leading economist of inequality presents a short but sweeping and surprisingly optimistic history of human progress toward equality despite crises, disasters, and backsliding, a perfect introduction to the ideas developed in his monumental earlier books.

In the 16th century, control of colonies and gold bullion gave Spain the edge; 17th-century Netherlands profited from trade and finance; 18th-century France gained from its larger population, while 19th-century British power rested on its primacy in the Industrial Revolution and its navy. In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power resources were measured in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, and numbers of men under arms and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. But the global information age of the 21st century is quickly rendering these traditional markers of power obsolete, remapping power relationships

Many Americans believe that their own government is guilty of shocking crimes. Although paranoia has been a feature of the American scene since the birth of the Republic, in Real Enemies, Kathryn Olmsted tells us that it was only in the 20th century that strange and unlikely conspiracy theories became central to American politics, In particular, she posits World War I as a critical turning point and shows that as the federal bureaucracy expanded, Americans grew more fearful of the government itself.

Written in the early 16th century, this concise yet provocative work offers pragmatic advice to rulers on how to gain, maintain, and consolidate authority, often advocating for realism over idealism.

Was passiert, wenn ein ganzes Land in Rente geht. Seit den neunziger Jahren ist die einst als unbesiegbar geltende Wirtschaft Japans in einer Abwärtsspirale gefangen. Sie wird auch dadurch beschleunigt, dass Japans Bevölkerung so schnell altert wie kaum eine andere: In den vergangenen fünf Jahren verlor das Land knapp eine Million Menschen, ganze ländliche Regionen sterben gleichsam aus. Japans Beispiel zeigt, was passiert, wenn ein Land die Grenzen des Wachstums erreicht und sich tiefgreifenden Reformen - insbesondere der konsequenten Öffnung der Wirtschaft für Frauen und Einwanderer - verweigert.

Perché le persone credono in ciò che non dovrebbero credere. Cosa rende una teoria del complotto? Da dove provengono i miti, chi li diffonde e perché? Perché alcune persone sono vulnerabili a idee chiaramente assurde e quali meccanismi li mantengono così tenacemente sotto il loro controllo?

Borders are not just meaningless geographical lines. They have an impact on all of our lives, whether it's the fallout from Brexit or the inhumanity of a detention center. In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted. Looking back, we learn of the elitist, colonial, and patriarchal origins of borders, explore the vital history of anti-racist, anti-border organizing and hear stories from people who have crossed partitions.

Die Natur der Propaganda besteht nach dem großen Philosophen Jacqes Ellul in der Anpassung des Individuums an eine Gesellschaft, die darauf abzielt, das Individuum dienstbar und konform zu machen.

In this compelling dialogue, two of the world’s most influential thinkers reflect on the value of equality and debate what citizens and governments should do to narrow the gaps that separate us. Ranging across economics, philosophy, history, and current affairs, Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel consider how far we have come in achieving greater equality. At the same time, they confront head-on the extreme divides that remain in wealth, income, power, and status nationally and globally.

The world-renowned philosopher and author of the best-selling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good? World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgment it imposes on those left behind, and traces the dire consequences across a wide swath of American life.
