Organizations have invested $30–40 billion in AI. According to MIT (2025), 95% produced no measurable return. Only 5% made it into daily workflows. If you're reading this, you're trying not to become that statistic—or you already are. The problem isn't bad technology. Most AI failures don't begin at scale. They begin during pilots, when early success builds confidence without revealing risks that surface once AI enters real workflows and decisions under pressure.

Dieses Buch ist aus einem inneren Ringen entstanden. Ein Ringen zwischen meiner beruflichen Welt – geprägt von Technologie, User Experience und klaren Business-Entscheidungen und meinem Glauben, der mir Orientierung und Werte schenkt. Beide Welten haben eines gemeinsam: sie stellen die Frage, für wen wir eigentlich arbeiten. Für uns selbst? Für eine Elite? Oder für die Menschen, die am Ende davon betroffen sind? Die Antwort auf diese Frage entscheidet über Erfolg oder Scheitern. Im Produkt genauso wie in der Politik.

In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP.

Rather than taking sides, it illuminates the hidden mechanisms, political pressures, psychological forces, and historical legacies that form the real structure of the nuclear debate.

Much of the history of United States defense over the course of 250 years has been a story of success. Insulated by two oceans and mostly friendly neighbors, but constantly ambitious abroad, America has dared mighty things and often achieved them, argues defense analyst Michael O'Hanlon. After growing into a continental power, largely through force of arms, during the first half of its history, it then led the way to coalition victories in two world wars, pursued peace in the Cold War, and has contributed to the most democratic period in human history.

Even though capitalism has been conventionally described as an economic system, it is actually a deeply entrenched legal regime. Law provides the material for coding simple objects, promises, and ideas as capital assets. It also provides the means for avoiding the legal constraints that societies have frequently imposed on capitalism. Often lauded for creating levels of wealth unprecedented in human history, capitalism is also largely responsible for the two greatest problems now confronting humanity.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is now generally recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the last century. This Very Short Introduction explores his extraordinary life and thought.

Benjamin's distinctive approach considered literary criticism, visual media, and the impact of cosmopolitanism. This innovative messianic understanding of history would go on to inspire countless critics and even entire schools of academia.
