Story
It didn't begin with Donald Trump. Since the time of FDR, the Republican Party has been home to conspiracy thinking, including a belief that lost elections were rigged. And when Republicans later won the White House, the party elevated their presidents to heroic status—a predisposition that eventually posed a threat to democracy. John Kenneth White proposes to explain why this happened—not just the election of Trump, but the authoritarian shift in the party as a whole that led to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and its aftermath.

The 2024 election could be the last free election held in a unified America. So warns Robert Kagan in this brilliant and terrifying analysis of the perilous state of democracy in the United States today. If Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, as he did in 2020, but refuses to accept the result, as he also did in the last election, he is likely to call on his millions of followers to repudiate the election results. It will be a short step from there to Republican-dominated states rejecting the legitimacy of the federal government and effectively seceding.

This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.

Müssen wir den Greenwashing-Lügen der Konsumgüterhersteller auf den Leim gehen, die uns jedes noch so pestizid- und schadstoffbelastete Produkt als ökologisch fair, nachhaltig und klimafreundlich verkaufen möchten? Müssen wir nicht!

Story
A quasi un anno dalla scomparsa di Silvio Berlusconi, Paolo Del Debbio ragiona sul-l'eredità politica di una delle figure più emblematiche della Seconda Repubblica. Su quale sia il lascito, ma soprattutto l'attualità del programma del 1994 di Forza Italia. L'avventura politica di Silvio Berlusconi è stata ricca di successi. La forza delle sue idee, il linguaggio sempre chiaro e diretto, le intuizioni, le alleanze e le strategie pensate con lungimiranza hanno cambiato il modo di fare politica e di comunicarla.

L'immagine delle Aule parlamentari, in cui avvengono i confronti - o spesso gli scontri - fra maggioranza e opposizione per decidere il futuro del nostro paese, è certo familiare a ogni cittadino. Non molti, invece, possono affermare di sapere con chiarezza come funzioni il sistema politico italiano e cosa accada realmente nei palazzi del potere.

Story
Warum wir zynische Geldmacher, egomane Politiker und deren Lügen bekämpfen müssen. Die Welt steckt in der Endphase eines Kulturkampfs: Gier gegen Gerechtigkeit, Zerstörung gegen Nachhaltigkeit, Zynismus gegen Empathie. Nichts zeigt dies deutlicher als die Reaktionen auf die Klimakatastrophe: Hier jene, die versuchen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern, dort jene, die alles tun, um aus dem Verbrennen fossiler Stoffe Profit zu ziehen.
