Analysant les régimes totalitaires, le livre est un avertissement contre la socialisation de l’économie qui selon Hayek pousse les citoyens sur la route de la servitude et conduit les démocraties occidentales à de graves dérives, jusqu'à la dictature d'une minorité sur le peuple. Le livre est un fervent plaidoyer en faveur des régimes libéraux. " La tendance moderne vers le socialisme signifie une rupture brutale non seulement avec le passé récent mais encore avec toute l’évolution de la civilisation occidentale […].

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.

Eager to retell the narrative of her own family and her coming-of-age, Patti Davis casts aside misperceptions that defined her in the past. 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.

A prolific diarist, his political memoirs have been compared to Pepys in their detail, scope and accuracy. Three volumes are included here, read by Benn himself, together with four fascinating programmes focussing on the man behind the diaries.

Economic inequality yawns as wide as ever. Capitalism is working as it was designed: replicating an uneven balance of power, constraining life chances, and limiting imaginations. Those of us concerned about injustice often confine ourselves to issue-by-issue activism. The end result? Owners, investors, and a politics of inequality win. But what if there's another way to organize our common life—and what if it's as homegrown as sweet potato pie? What if we could become moral engineers who co-create the world we all deserve?

Prizewinning historian Michael David-Fox traces the experiences of Smolensk residents between the interwar years and the end of World War II, a period during which the city and region passed from Stalinist rule to Nazi occupation and back. The result is a revelatory examination of choice and power under dueling forms of murderous totalitarianism. Exploring the life-and-death decisions of a fascinating cast of characters, David-Fox shows how deeply the Stalinist and Nazi regimes relied on the co-optation of average citizens motivated by greed and need, but always within the orbit of ideology.

Estatuas derribadas, trabajadores despedidos, libros proscritos, iglesias vandalizadas, espectáculos suspendidos, conferencias canceladas, asesinatos civiles, personajes demonizados y, sobre todo, una historia leída desde una óptica de izquierda radical son la base en la que se sustenta la ideología woke. Esta corriente nacida en los campus universitarios de EE.UU. hace unas décadas bajo una aparente rebelión contra la «opresión», el «odio», el «racismo» o la «discriminación», es en realidad una versión pujante de la corrección política que se está imponiendo.
