Showing titles in Democracy

Grace Blakeley erfindet Kapitalismuskritik neu. Theoretisch fundiert, erfrischend klug und mit umfassender Recherche zeigt sie, dass kapitalistische Strukturen Freiheitnicht fördern, sondern bedrohen. Die Krisen dieser Welt sind keine Ausnahmen, sondern logische Folge des real existierenden Kapitalismus. Nur wenn die Macht von Großkonzernen und der Finanzwelt eingehegt wird, kann die Politik der Alternativlosigkeit überwunden und die Demokratie gerettet werden.

Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened.

Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." In Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century.

Im Gottesdienst zur Amtseinführung Trumps richtete sich Bischöfin Mariann Budde mit kritischen Worten und der Bitte um Erbarmen direkt an den Präsidenten. Die Mitschnitte ihrer Predigt gingen um die Welt, vielen ist sie zum Vorbild geworden. Hier zeigt sie: Mut und mutiges Handeln sind ein Lebensweg. Anhand zahlreicher Geschichten – von Harry Potter über den Kleinen Prinzen bis zum Lukasevangelium – und persönlicher Erfahrungen beschreibt sie, wie wir uns zu unserem mutigsten Selbst entwickeln können. Mut ist eine Reise, die wir jeden Tag antreten können, davon ist Mariann Budde überzeugt.

The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties—socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens.

No entanto, com o impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff, a crescente aproximação da extrema direita ao poder e o recrudescimento de discursos de ódio contra minorias, Felipe passou a questionar suas convicções.
