Story7
In its history since Independence, India has seen widely different economic experiments: from Jawharlal Nehru's pragmatism to the rigid state socialism of Indira Gandhi to the brisk liberalization of the 1990s. So which strategy best addresses India's, and by extension the world's, greatest moral challenge: lifting a great number of extremely poor people out of poverty? Bhagwati and Panagariya argue forcefully that only one strategy will help the poor to any significant effect: economic growth, led by markets overseen and encouraged by liberal state policies.

A ralé brasileira: quem é e como vive, clássico do pensamento social brasileiro, confere visibilidade à “ralé brasileira”, uma “classe social” jamais percebida enquanto “classe” entre nós, ou seja, nunca percebida como possuindo uma gênese social e um destino comum, e vista apenas como “conjuntos de indivíduos” carentes ou perigosos. Com base em uma profunda e consistente pesquisa empírica, este audiolivro procura recontar, na dimensão da vida cotidiana, o drama existencial e familiar dos tipos sociais mais encontrados na ralé brasileira.

In 2002, the town of Galesburg, a slowly declining Rustbelt city of 33,000 in western Illinois, learned that it would soon lose its largest factory, a Maytag refrigerator plant that had anchored Galesburg's social and economic life for decades. Workers at the plant earned $15.14 an hour, had good insurance, and were assured a solid retirement. In 2004, the plant was relocated to Reynosa, Mexico, where workers sometimes spent 13-hour days assembling refrigerators for $1.10 an hour.

Nobody who works hard should be poor in America, writes Pulitzer Prize-winner David Shipler. Clear-headed, rigorous, and compassionate, he journeys deeply into the lives of individual store clerks and factory workers, farm laborers and sweat-shop seamstresses, illegal immigrants in menial jobs and Americans saddled with immense student loans and paltry wages. They are known as the working poor.

Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status. Yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes listeners behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn't, and why.

Story0
La vida cotidiana atravesada por la clase está en constante remiendo. Los rotos son las personas de clase obrera, pero también los constantes destrozos de una existencia popular; las fracturas de una vida hostil, rota, como una kelly al final del turno. Roto como el ánimo de quien pierde dos horas cada día en el transporte público o en la sala de espera de un ambulatorio, sin esperanza de mejora; sin futuro. Esta obra es una visión personal, íntima y subjetiva de cómo el origen social influye en la vida de la clase trabajadora.

Can a country be a democracy if its government only responds to the preferences of the rich? In an ideal democracy, all citizens should have equal influence on government policy - but as this book demonstrates, America's policymakers respond almost exclusively to the preferences of the economically advantaged.

In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth.' Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, he portrays a far more complex reality. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient fig leaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality.

For all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue/red divide, we've ignored what economic and cultural loss can do to pride. What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks, when a proud people in a hard-hit region suffer the deep loss of pride and are confronted with a powerful political appeal that makes it feel "stolen"? Hochschild's research drew her to Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia, within the whitest and second-poorest congressional district in the nation.

Existem Estados pelo mundo que cobram altos impostos e oferecem muitos serviços à população. Outros têm oferta bem mais limitada, porém cobram poucos tributos, deixando a riqueza nas mãos dos cidadãos. Nosso Estado é de um terceiro tipo, mais próximo a um sádico obeso que rouba os que estão embaixo para dar aos grupinhos de cima, encastelados no poder.

About 50km outside of Cape Town lies the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, nestled against vineyards and blue mountains that stretch to the sky. Here reside some of South Africa’s wealthiest individuals: all male, all Afrikaans - and all stinking rich. Johann Rupert, Jannie Mouton, Markus Jooste and Christo Weise, to name a few. Julius Malema refers to them scathingly as ‘The Stellenbosch Mafia’, the very worst example of white monopoly capital. But who really are these mega-wealthy individuals, and what influence do they exert?

¿Qué le sucede a la izquierda actual? ¿Por qué parece más preocupada por cuestiones como el ecologismo (un falso ecologismo) o un feminismo que es todo menos igualdad en vez de por los problemas que sufre una clase trabajadora cada vez más asfixiada? Este ensayo histórico y manifiesto político explica por qué amplias mayorías sociales están apostando cada vez más por opciones de derecha radical en diferentes países occidentales, especialmente en Europa, en detrimento de una izquierda perdida en su propia indefinición y entregada a los intereses de las grandes corporaciones.

Solidarietà, empatia, simpatia, compassione: parole di cui oggi nel discorso pubblico e nel linguaggio della politica si è quasi persa traccia. E questo, proprio mentre milioni di uomini e donne chiedono aiuto attraversando mari e tribolazioni, e mentre la povertà e le diseguaglianze crescono anche nel mondo ricco. Perché entrare in contatto con le emozioni altrui è diventato così difficile? E che cosa accade quando un essere umano le vede e le sente, le emozioni dell'altro?
