Story
From the best-selling author of What's the Matter with Kansas?, a wonderfully insightful and sardonic look at how the worst economy since the 1930s has brought about the revival of conservatism. Economic catastrophe usually brings social protest and demands for change - or at least it's supposed to. But when Thomas Frank set out in 2009 to look for expressions of American discontent, all he could find were loud demands that the economic system be made even harsher on the recession's victims....

Story
It is a widespread belief among liberals that if only Democrats can continue to dominate national elections, if only those awful Republicans are beaten into submission, the country will be on the right course. But this is to fundamentally misunderstand the modern Democratic Party. Drawing on years of research and first-hand reporting, Frank points out that the Democrats have done little to advance traditional liberal goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal.

Democracy and Its Crisis

Story
First he considers moments in history - Periclean Athens, the English Civil War, the American and French Revolutions, among them - in which the challenges we face today were first encountered and what solutions, however imperfect, were found. Then he lays bare the specific problems of democracy in the 21st century and maps out a set of urgently needed reforms. With the advent of authoritarian leaders and the simultaneous rise of populism, representative democracy appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place, yet it is this space that it must occupy, says Grayling, if a civilised society that looks after all its people is to flourish.

Story
What does a middle-class democracy look like when it comes apart? When, after 40 years of economic triumph, America’s winners persuade themselves that they owe nothing to the rest of the country? Rendezvous with Oblivion is a collection of interlocking essays examining how inequality has manifested itself in our cities, in our jobs, in the way we travel - and of course in our politics, where in 2016, millions of anxious ordinary people rallied to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good.

Story
Meinungsfreiheit und freier Journalismus sind die schärfsten Waffen zur Verteidigung von Demokratien. Maria Ressa steht wie keine andere für den Kampf um die Wahrheit und gegen Hass und Gewalt. In ihrem Buch beschreibt sie, wie Demokratien durch Autokraten und Diktatoren ausgehöhlt werden - mittels sozialer Medien. Denn Facebook und Google dulden aus Profitgier Propaganda und Fake News. Ressa legt ein Netzwerk der Desinformation offen, das den ganzen Globus umspannt.

Story
Ulrich Wickerts zeitloses Werk über die Werte in unserer Gesellschaft. In einer von Corona-Verboten geprägten Gesellschaft ist Ulrich Wickerts Klassiker über Ehrlichkeit, Moral und Werteverlust aktueller denn je. Erliegt unsere Zivilisation dem ins Monströse gesteigertem Prinzip Eigennutz? Oder gibt es bleibende Normen, ohne die eine Gemeinschaft Schaden nimmt? In diesem Essay geht Ulrich Wickert an Beispielen aus Politik und Gesellschaft konkreten Fragen nach.

Story
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Ron DeSantis made Florida the freest state in the country. While other politicians advocated lockdowns and masking policies, DeSantis did everything he could to keep businesses open and protect civil liberties. DeSantis began fighting for civil liberties years earlier, though. He launched his political career in the US Congress in 2012. Cason Longhurst recounts Ron DeSantis's political career to date, revealing the principles that guide this conservative rising star.
