En este libro resulta claro que 1994 NO HA TERMINADO. Desde la historiografía y el periodismo siempre han surgido ángulos insospechados que lo confirman como el año que definió el rumbo actual del país. Y ésta no es la excepción. En una crónica donde se entre - tejen testimonios de los protagonistas de aquella época con revelaciones de personajes que han “perdido el miedo de hablar”, Raymundo Riva Palacio analiza uno de los hitos de la transición a la democracia mexicana.

Adiós al 68 rechaza la mirada contemplativa con la que se ha construido la memoria de los movimientos sociales de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y lo que va del XXI. Con la dolorosa valentía que requiere la autocrítica, confronta al fantasma de aquellos que formaron la conciencia de un mundo mejor, pero que sólo lograron moldear uno distinto. Joel Ortega, quizá el más inteligente miembro activo de la generación mexicana de los años sesenta, hace un recorrido obligadamente incómodo que va de la ilusión a la integración en la política.

Tras la brutalidad de la Revolución, los sobrevivientes necesitaban una esperanza y el nacionalismo se la dio. Pero a un costo altísimo: muerte y mentira.

De alguna forma, parece que nos hemos convencido de que nuestra historia política se puede reducir a cambios de gobiernos, de leyes, a sustitución o adorno de vicios administrativos y relativizaciones éticas.

Volney's classic, The Ruins, is the book that Frankenstein's creature learns to read from. Its call for an absolute separation between church and state was controversial enough that Thomas Jefferson, who had translated the first 20 chapters into English, tried to obscure his role in the American publication process to protect his run for the 1800 US presidency. This is a new edition with an introduction by the editor, Tarah Wheeler.

In Democracy in Exile, Daniel Bessner shows how the experience of the Weimar Republic’s collapse and the rise of Nazism informed Hans Speier’s work as an American policymaker and institution builder.

Just about everybody knows the name Rikers Island. A fixture of pop culture and underground prison lore alike, the sprawling East River jail complex has become synonymous with both the horrors of mass incarceration and the structurally-racist class domination at its core. But how did Rikers Island get to be this way?

Tasked with finding common ground and building friendships between the world's two largest countries and arctic neighbors, a young Canadian diplomat finds himself on his first overseas assignment in Moscow, the Soviet capital. It's the early 1970s and a Cold War between communism and capitalism, the west and the east, is simmering-while the ice rink is just starting to heat up.

Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next. Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures. If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious empire—the Middle Kingdom of China—will consume us.

Few institutions have been more ingeniously designed than the U.S. federal government via the Constitution in 1787. This auspicious beginning more than two centuries ago helps explain why the U.S. remains a magnet for opportunity seekers, students, entrepreneurs, dissidents, and persecuted believers. Yet for decades now, America’s federal government has been underperforming. In an era of substantial political fermentation and debate, rediscovering and re-applying American Republicanism represents the best path forward for the United States.

Edited and with an introduction by philosopher Tom Whyman, this new abridged version The German Ideology sheds new light on one of the most difficult, disputed texts in Marx’s oeuvre. Written in 1846 and subsequently abandoned by Marx and Engels, only to be rescued in the 1930s by researchers in the USSR, The German Ideology is the high point of Marx’s philosophical thought: A brilliantly insightful, still thrillingly radical work of materialist philosophical therapy.

In this seminal work of political philosophy, Boétie asks one of the most obvious questions of political theory: Why is it that a minority of rulers can remain in power over a majority of subjects who pay all the taxes? The answer might be quite surprising to us all. The conclusion is that the people tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. It is we who enslave ourselves at the beck and call of "authority".
