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.

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.

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?
