In 1972, New York Representative Shirley Chisholm did more than break the ice in American politics when she became the first Black woman to run for President of the United States. Chisholm left behind a coalition-building model that was personified in one Hollywood party hosted by legendary actress and singer Diahann Carroll. In A More Perfect Party, MSNBC political analyst Juanita Tolliver presents a path to people-centered politics through the lens of this soiree, with surprising parallels to our current electoral reality.

Pappas & Morin expose the root causes such as liberal ideology, helicopter parenting, millennial mentality, and poor moral development in those that help perpetuate the syndrome including the democrat leftwing media and entertainment industries, biased university professors, and dedicated Marxists, who use the tools of PC cancel culture, wokeism, and gaslighting, and how it has been impacting America and beyond.

This book details the destructive flawed foundations of Democracy, destroying the mythology behind the innovated political system which has become a valued religion to many voters and politicians. Diabolical Democracy Debunked also suggests a morally superior political system as an alternative to Democracy.

"Secular Illuminations: A Journey Through Reason and Compassion," authored by Tony L. Churchill, is a compelling exploration into the realms of secular thought and atheistic morality. This book challenges traditional religious doctrines and advocates for a life enriched by reason and compassion, guiding listeners through the historical and cultural evolution of secularism, the redefinition of morality beyond divine command, and the dispelling of myths surrounding atheism.

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 […].

La silla embrujada es un recorrido minucioso a través de cada una de las sucesiones presidenciales durante el siglo XX y las que llevamos en el XXI. Embrujada o no, la silla presidencial siempre ha sido la manzana de la discordia. Y tras cada sucesión surgen los cuestionamientos infaltables: ¿pudimos haberlo hecho diferente? ¿Acudir a las urnas sí marca una diferencia? ¿Esta vez no habrá fraude?

In this international history of Reconstruction, Don Doyle chronicles the world events inspired by the Civil War. Between 1865 and 1870, France withdrew from Mexico, Russia sold Alaska to the US, and Britain proclaimed the new state of Canada. British workers demanded more voting rights, Spain toppled Queen Isabella II and ended slavery in its Caribbean colonies, Cubans rose against Spanish rule, France overthrew Napoleon III, and the kingdom of Pope Pius IX fell before the Italian Risorgimento.

From the author of When America Stopped Being Great, an insightful and urgent reassessment of America’s past, present and future – as a country which is forever at war with itself. Nick Bryant explains how the hate, divisiveness and paranoia we see today are in fact a core part of America’s story. Combining brilliant storytelling, historical research and first-hand reportage, Bryant argues that insurrections, massacres and civil disturbances should sadly not be seen as abnormalities; they are a part of the fabric of the history of America.

Are the values that Americans collectively hold destroying the American Dream? The answer to that question depends upon the answers to some very specific questions. What do we as citizens of the United States believe we owe to one another as citizens? What is the purpose of government? What is of the role of the private enterprise? What is the meaning of equal opportunity? To what extent should purely economic concerns be regulated in the public interest?

On November 5, 2024, America will enter a gate of history that will open for us a new era of freedom and prosperity or a swift decline into irreversible tyranny. The hopes and dreams of millions of struggling Americans and the destiny of our children and grandchildren hang in the balance. Our two most cherished liberties enshrined in the first amendment of the Constitution—freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion—are under ravenous assault by wolves who seek to smite the shepherd, scatter the sheepdogs and devour the sheep.

e grandi crisi globali oggi passano per l’Italia, perché è il campo di battaglia per le trasformazioni del XXI secolo. Non è la prima volta nella Storia che la nostra Penisola, nel bel mezzo del Mediterraneo, diventa l’epicentro di contese strategiche e rivalità economiche, ma la simultaneità fra ricostruzione europea, populismo, affermazione di nuovi diritti, duello fra Stati Uniti e Cina, competizione fra potenze nel Mediterraneo e ritorno della minaccia jihadista ci assegna un ruolo inatteso sul palcoscenico internazionale.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." Thus reads the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. And yet, as Dr. Richard Tobias argues in this book, recent decisions by the Supreme Court and the repeated battering by strongly religious Congressional members of this core tenet and its corollary—the separation of church and state—have placed the longstanding ideals of democracy in danger.

Like so many of us, McKibben grew up believing—knowing—that the United States was the greatest country on earth. As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. And he is curious: What the hell happened?

Decía Julio Scherer García que para entender la historia hay que analizar a los protagonistas. Y esta obra hace justamente eso: Demetrio Sodi, uno de los mayores conocedores de la política mexicana desde hace décadas, nos guía por los salones y los despachos donde se ha decidido la vida del país durante los últimos 40 años. Sodi de la Tijera —quien ha sido jefe delegacional, diputado, senador y activista, entre otros— nos cuenta los entresijos de las negociaciones, las tensiones ocultas, las amenazas, las razones hondas y las anécdotas más reveladoras.

Defying the Dragon tells a remarkable story of audacity—of how the people of Hong Kong challenged the PRC's authority, just as its president reached the height of his powers. Is China as unshakeable as it seems? What are its real interests in Hong Kong? Why are Beijing's means of control no longer working? Where does this leave Hongkongers themselves? Stephen Vines has lived in Hong Kong for over three decades. His book unpacks the Hong Kong-China relationship and its wider significance—right up to the astonishing convergence of political turmoil and international crisis.

El proceso electoral de 2018 cerró diversos ciclos históricos: uno de 50 años, si se considera el movimiento de 1968 como arranque de la democratización; uno de 40, si se ubica en la reforma política de 1977 el inicio del camino hacia la pluralidad; o uno de tres décadas, si se considera a las elecciones de 1988 como el punto de quiebre de la transición. Lo cierto es que la democracia mexicana no nació el 1 de julio de 2018.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous-in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose.

Con un análisis crítico implacable, irónico y con verdades filosas, Jairo Calixto ofrece en este manual corrosivo tragicómicos retratos de personajes célebres de la actual oposición mexicana: Fox, Calderón y Zavala, Claudio X. González, Ricardo Anaya, el jefe Diego, así como de varios políticos de estos tiempos aciagos: Lozoya, Bartlett, Rosario Robles, Lorenzo Córdova y demás especies en peligro de irrupción.

2003 prägte Wolin in einem Zeitungsartikel den Begriff Inverted Totalitarianism (deutsch: Umgekehrter Totalitarismus). Mit dem Buch "Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism" baute er 2008 seine Argumentation zum Inverted Totalitarianism aus. Die These dieses Werkes ist, dass am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts mit dem Streben nach Superpower und dem Management von Demokratie in den USA eine postdemokratische Regierungstechnik entstanden sei, die Elemente der liberalen Demokratie mit denen totalitärer politischer Systeme verbinde.

The author, Jayanta Ghosal, travelled to all the districts of West Bengal and unearthed certain key factors that helped the Trinamool win the state. For instance, there was a massive gap in the BJP's understanding of Bengali identity, which Mamata was able to exploit.
