Some ideas behave like slow weather. They gather quietly, almost invisibly, in the background of ordinary life. You hear them now, and then, you sense them in passing, and you notice them taking shape in conversations that do not yet sound like conclusions. Then, one day, the sky seems to change all at once. A phrase is suddenly everywhere. A new habit feels normal overnight. A once-unthinkable opinion becomes mainstream. A slight movement becomes a crowd.

We think of the United States as a nation committed, at least on paper, to ideals of human equality, under God and/or under the law. But as robust as the notion of the "American dream" is a longstanding defense of social hierarchies, including vast gulfs between rich and poor. Drawing on forgotten characters and neglected archives, Kim Phillips-Fein tells the story of the executives, intellectuals, and political leaders who have argued that the words of the Declaration of Independence—that "all men are created equal"—are a myth.

American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

Giulia Blasi parte da una serie di riflessioni personali da attivista in preda a un momento di sconforto per decostruire la narrazione dell'isolamento e mettersi alla ricerca di un'alternativa concreta al senso di impotenza che attraversa il nostro tempo. Il risultato è un libro che non fornisce soluzioni facili per problemi complessi ma prova a disegnare una mappa per orientarsi in un periodo di grande difficoltà collettiva, cercando una via d'uscita dal Tapinocene, l'era dell'infelicità.

When it comes to money, there are some things we all have in common: the thoughts, worries and attachments we give it. For many people, money is no longer viewed as a source of energy that can help us find the meaning in our lives, but has rather become the meaning itself. But what if it's...

The global economy is changing faster than ever. Inflation keeps rising, governments print endless money, and trust in traditional finance is fading. Amid this uncertainty, Bitcoin has emerged as digital gold, a technology that redefines what money is, how it’s created, and who controls it.

Um mergulho preciso e mordaz no mundo dos endinheirados brasileiros. Há um traço comum a boa parte dos endinheirados brasileiros: eles não se consideram ricos. Não existe um critério absoluto para a riqueza no Brasil. Sempre haverá alguém com mais dinheiro, mais pompa, mais patrimônio, mais próximo do topo da pirâmide. Logo, os ricos são sempre os outros.

In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism—which he terms the “Modern Faith”—has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.

Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively listenable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism.

What if everything you hate about the economy could be traced back to one simple flaw? Not inflation. Not wages. Not productivity. Land. For centuries, owning land has meant owning leverage. Not because of what you build on it — but because of where it sits. And while society creates the value of that location, only landlords reap the reward. This book is about the fix.
