Thomas Piketty über soziale Ungleichtheit und globale Gerechtigkeit. "Das ist ja interessant, was Sie schreiben, aber können Sie es vielleicht auch kürzer sagen?" Diese Frage ist Thomas Piketty, der mit seinem umfangreichen Bestseller "Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert" eine internationale Debatte über die Ursachen sozialer Ungleichheit in Gang gebracht hat, oft gestellt worden. Piketty hat diese Bitten ernst genommen und das Ergebnis ist eine Weltgeschichte der sozialen Konflikte und Konstellationen und eine Lektion in globaler Gerechtigkeit.

Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day.

We may be living longer, but people are more socially isolated than ever before. As a result, we are hindered both mentally and physically, and many of us are looking for something concrete we can do to address problems like poverty, racism, and climate change. What if solutions could be found on your very doorstep or just two door knocks away? Cormac Russell and John McKnight offer a wealth of illustrative examples from around the world that will inspire you to explore your own community and discover its hidden treasures.

¿Quién manda en España? ¿Por qué mandan los que ocupan puestos de poder en los ministerios, secretarías de Estado, direcciones generales? ¿Qué redes de intereses les unen entre sí? Más allá de las "puertas giratorias", unos grupos pequeños de altos funcionarios, personas vinculadas al poder real, sobre todo al económico, toman las decisiones y lo hacen sin responder ante los ciudadanos ni escucharles. Porque las élites de poder no se presentan a las elecciones ni defienden un programa electoral.

Why are wages stagnant and wealth inequality increasing? One factor has inexplicably been left out: who owns the companies that drive the economy. Ownership gives people a claim to the fruits of free enterprise. Employee ownership gives workers—the people who have a stake in the company—a fair chance to benefit from their labors. In three simple parts, Corey Rosen and John Case create a powerful argument for why employee ownership is the answer to capitalism’s crisis and how to implement it.

Die Schüler:innen der sogenannten Brennpunktschule haben ein "Herz aus Gold" und den Mut, über sich selbst zu lachen. Doch in einer Gesellschaft, die vor allem die Energydrinks im Unterricht, die gefakten Gucci-T-Shirts und die Klassenbucheinträge von "denen" sieht, haben sie kaum Aufstiegschancen. Das Schulsystem zementiert stattdessen bestehende Ungleichheiten. Lisa Graf wird von den Kids in ihrem Klassenzimmer an ihren eigenen Bildungsweg erinnert, der alles andere als gradlinig verlief.

Kensington, Philadelphia, is distinguished only by its poverty. It is home to Ryan, Giancarlos, and Emmanuel, three Puerto Rican children who live among the most marginalized families in the United States. This is the story of their coming-of-age, which is beset by violence—the violence of homelessness, hunger, incarceration, stray bullets, sexual and physical assault, the hypermasculine logic of the streets, and the drug trade. In Kensington, eighteenth birthdays are not rites of passage but statistical miracles.

Between 1920 and 1950, America saw an unprecedented expansion of wealth and power underwritten by technological innovation, cultural confidence, and victory in war. American elites won World War II, rebuilt the world order with America at its head, inaugurated the jet age, and put a man on the moon. The boom led to a larger, richer middle class that confirmed America’s best ideals. By the early 1970s, that ended. American elites have captured a disproportionate share of the social and economic rewards over the last fifty years.

La vida cotidiana atravesada por la clase está en constante remiendo. Los rotos son las personas de clase obrera, pero también los constantes destrozos de una existencia popular; las fracturas de una vida hostil, rota, como una kelly al final del turno. Roto como el ánimo de quien pierde dos horas cada día en el transporte público o en la sala de espera de un ambulatorio, sin esperanza de mejora; sin futuro. Esta obra es una visión personal, íntima y subjetiva de cómo el origen social influye en la vida de la clase trabajadora.

There is a new vocabulary of injustice and inequality emerging out of society’s advances in technology. We are finding evermore outlandish ways of persecuting and violating the rights of citizens based on race, identity, and social bias. For some, the experiences of these injustices are commonplace; for others, they are completely foreign. Jim Code is a new glossary of technological injustice meant to inform and inspire the next generation of social activists and human and civil rights leaders.

Pubblicato dal Mulino nel 1977, tradotto in più lingue, "Carcere e fabbrica" è universalmente ritenuto - a fianco di "Pena e struttura sociale" di Rusche e Kirchheimer e di "Sorvegliare e punire" di Foucault - un grande classico sulle istituzioni carcerarie e le loro origini storiche.

Una grande trasformazione del mondo è avvenuta tra due date: il 9 novembre 1989, con la caduta del muro di Berlino, e il novembre 2019, quando scoppia a Wuhan l'emergenza Covid-19. Col crollo del muro di Berlino scompare il nemico, tutti si sentono fratelli e uguali. Si aprono le frontiere, crollano le istituzioni consolidate, inizia la globalizzazione.

As the labor market continues to exploit workers by offering precarious, low-paid, and temporary jobs, for some, duality offers much-needed flexibility and staves off poverty. This book illustrates contemporary accounts of individuals taking extraordinary risks to hold jobs in both sex industries and non-sex work employment. It also opens a dialogue about how sex industries are stratified in the UK in terms of race and culture against the backdrop of Brexit. Debunking stereotypes of sex workers, this book makes an invaluable contribution to discourses about work, society, and policy.
