Drawing in part on his own experiences, including with policymakers and world leaders, Kenneth Rogoff animates the remarkable postwar run of the dollar—how it beat out the Japanese yen, the Soviet ruble, and the euro—and the challenges it faces today from crypto and the Chinese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc.

First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Paulo Freire's work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing.

Thomas Piketty’s best-selling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.

L'économie est une mythologie qui désenchante le monde : plus que jamais "lugubre", elle pollue le débat public de ses fausses certitudes et empoisonne l'esprit démocratique. Les mythes économiques contemporains ont pour fonction principale de détourner l'attention des citoyens des véritables enjeux dont ils devraient se soucier et débattre. Nos mythologies économiques sont des mystifications politiques.

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A groundbreaking account of accidents, near misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved - and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.

A revolutionary new argument from eminent Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits attacking the false promise of meritocracy It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal – that...

Désormais légal au Canada, le cannabis sort de l’ombre pour devenir un produit dont on peut (et doit!) discuter. Le hic, c’est que cette drogue, beaucoup plus complexe que l’alcool, demeure largement méconnue et entourée de mythes et de préjugés. Ce petit guide vise à informer les Canadiens sur les aspects pratiques, scientifiques et économiques du cannabis. Sans le dramatiser ni le banaliser, il cherche à donner l’heure juste en fonction des meilleures connaissances actuelles.

Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else.

La sagrada familia es la investigación más exhaustiva sobre el núcleo de poder que orbita en torno a Pedro Sánchez. El análisis de más de 10.000 documentos permite reconstruir con precisión quirúrgica el funcionamiento real de un modelo sostenido en privilegios, fidelidades personales y acceso discrecional a recursos del Estado. Alejandro Entrambasaguas tira del hilo con la obsesión de seguir el rastro de quiénes se han beneficiado de su cercanía al presidente.

From the pursuit of potentially apocalyptic artificial intelligence to life-extension start-ups that promise billionaires eternal youth and those who encourage the political far right around the world, the Silicon Valley techno-utopian dream has curdled. The global innovator class has the world in their hands, but they can't stand the touch.

Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry; and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword “A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial Times ...

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.

The Vision of the Anointed is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. In this book, "politically correct" theory is repeatedly confronted with facts-and sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

It’s December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia’s Far East. The tiger isn’t just killing people, it’s annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through...
