Care is the foundation of organic life. But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. In our hearts it’s honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market it’s treated as a second-class citizen – barely recognized in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth. How did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in a timely and deeply personal book.

Sie zeigt, welche Technologien noch funktionieren könnten und wie der Gasausstieg Deutschland zum Technologie-Weltmarktführer macht – wenn uns die Zeit bleibt. Ein Hörbuch für alle, die sich der Illusion verweigern, dass es noch einfache Antworten gibt. Klima und Wirtschaft lassen sich nicht gegeneinander ausspielen.

Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel-turned-refugee camp. Eventually, she was granted asylum in America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement.

With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system.

Wir wohnen in unseren Gefühlen wie in Häusern. Diese inneren Landschaften prägen unsere Entscheidungen und sind das Ergebnis zahlreicher Einflüsse von der Geburt bis zum Erwachsenwerden. Wenn gewohnte Sicherheiten bröckeln, eine als gegeben vorausgesetzte Welt verschwindet, verunsichert das die Menschen zutiefst, ohne dass sie recht wissen, warum. Das nutzen Antidemokraten aus und schüren Angst, denn Demokratie setzt Vertrauen, Sicherheit und Zuversicht voraus.

L’économie est communément considérée comme une puissance maléfique opposée aux « vraies » valeurs, celles de l’humanité, de la socialité, de la nature. Or, le mot d’économie renvoie primitivement aux principes de santé, d’harmonie, de bonne organisation et ce n’est pas par hasard qu’il partage son étymologie avec celui d’écologie. En revenant aux sources de la notion, ce petit ouvrage montre qu’il n’y a pas de « valeurs économiques », que l’économie traduit dans son langage nos valeurs sociales et qu’il importe donc à chacun de s’en saisir.
