Will Hutton’s passionate book shows how the right and left have gone wrong over the course of the last century – and how we can remake a better Britain. Britain’s inability to invest in itself is at the heart of our problems. The malevolent thread linking the grievous errors of the last forty-five years is the attempt to create the utopia of free markets and a minimal state. The terrible consequences scar our country today. We need an alternative economic and political philosophy, especially if we are to ward off a nihilist populism.

Far from being the enfant terrible, Dear Mom and Dad reveals young Patti as a sensitive child, who was not able to be the public person her family demanded. Davis casts an empathetic yet honest eye on her parents—on her father, the eternal lifeguard, who saved seventy-seven people, yet failed to create a coherent AIDS policy, and her mother, who never escaped her own tortured youth.

Os chineses nos intrigam. O regime é comunista, mas a economia é capitalista. Eles ficaram enclausurados durante os quase trinta anos de governo de Mao Tsé-Tung e agora viajam pelo mundo todo e são os maiores usuários de internet do planeta. Quem são, afinal, esses 1,3 bilhão de chineses? Por que a relação do país com o Ocidente—e com os vizinhos—mudou tanto ao longo do tempo? Como esse país milenar, responsável por invenções importantíssimas para a humanidade como o papel e a bússola, pode ser acusado de copiar tecnologias estrangeiras?

Die Brandstifter zeichnet die Geschichte der Republikanischen Partei nach und stellt ihre wichtigsten Akteure vor. Dabei wird deutlich, wie porös die Brandmauer zwischen Rechtsextremismus und Konservatismus in den USA schon immer war, nicht erst seit Trump. Brockschmidt erzählt packend, wie historische Entwicklungen und Machtkämpfe die Partei geprägt und radikalisiert haben – und warum das Ergebnis der Präsidentschaftswahl 2024 nicht nur für die USA von entscheidender Bedeutung sein wird.

В этом эссе Бён-Чхоль Хан анализирует современного человека, окруженного бесконечными нарративами, повествованиями и историями. Однако, несмотря на эту бурю смыслов вокруг, мы, кажется, утратили возможность чувствовать и понимать истинное повествование — и оказались в "постнарративном мире". Цифровое общество полностью подчинено информации, и с каждым днем ускоря ется процесс «денарративизации». Поток информации, который, по сути, является бушующим океаном данных, "удушает дух" истории.

Seit Jahren nehmen Zensur und Repression in Russland zu. Nur wenige wissen, wie es um die russische Gesellschaft und ihre Führung wirklich bestellt ist. Informationen darüber werden systematisch unterbunden. Wie kaum jemand sonst verfügt die Osteuropa-Expertin des Deutschlandfunks über langjährige Einblicke in den von Putin diktatorisch geführten Staat. Schwindet die Macht des Kremlchefs? Wer sind die neuen politischen, militärischen und ökonomischen Akteure? Was halten Russinnen und Russen von ihrem Land? Gibt es Grund zur Hoffnung, oder treibt die Nation in den Abgrund?
