Titres dans Classes sociales et disparité économique

At first glance, sports may appear as simple games of athleticism and skill. However, nestled within every cheer, every match, and each strategy is a reflection of the world's deeper political, societal, and economic narratives. "Ballgames & Boardrooms" delves into this intricate dance between sports and the inherent global structures it both represents and influences. From the gladiatorial arenas of Ancient Rome to the modern football stadiums, this essay dissects how sports have been employed as tools by elites to not only entertain but to dictate, control, and pacify the masses.

Abramowitsch hat eine, der Emir von Abu Dhabi auch, Jeff Bezos sowieso: Superyachten sind Ausweis der Zugehörigkeit zum Club der "lucky few". Sie ermöglichen grenzenlose Mobilität und exklusiven Geltungskonsum. Zugleich sind sie schwimmende Umweltsünden. Sie verbrennen Unmengen Treibstoff, ihre Anker zerstören kostbare Flora. Und sie sind Spielfelder obszöner Ungleichheit: Während ihre Besitzer zu den einflussreichsten Menschen der Welt gehören, ist das Bordpersonal oft Willkür und Rechtlosigkeit ausgeliefert.

Wie wollen und werden wir zukünftig arbeiten? Die tradierten Modelle funktionieren nicht mehr: Während die einen von ihrer Erwerbsarbeit kaum leben können, leiden viele Bereiche unter Arbeits- und Fachkräftemangel. Arbeit ist zudem eine Frage der Solidarität: Der Applaus für "systemrelevante Berufe" war von kurzer Dauer, die Care-Arbeit - vor allem von Frauen - hält das System am Laufen, wird aber weder angemessen entlohnt noch gesellschaftlich gewürdigt. Für die "Generation Z" zählt Work-Life-Balance mehr als die 40-Stunden-Woche.

Two decades into the twenty-first century, the stagnation of living standards has become the defining trend of American life. Life expectancy has declined, economic inequality has soared, and, after some progress, the Black-white wage gap is once again as large as it was in the 1950s. How did this happen in the world's most powerful country? And what happened to the "American dream"? Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Leonhardt examines the past century of American history, from the Great Depression to today's Great Stagnation, in search of an answer.

Paola Mastrocola e Luca Ricolfi per la prima volta insieme in un libro per denunciare a due voci il paradossale e tragico abbaglio della scuola democratica, che, nata per salvare i più deboli, oggi di fatto ne annega le speranze. Due voci, di cui una lancia un’ipotesi e l’altra la raccoglie, provandola con la forza dei dati, testandola con modelli matematici e arrivando alla conferma. Sì, è così: una scuola facile e di bassa qualità allarga il solco fra ceti alti e ceti bassi. Un disastro, di cui rendere conto e chiedere scusa, ai ragazzi e alle loro famiglie.

Neste best-seller internacional, a jornalista Isabel Wilkerson, vencedora do prêmio Pulitzer, compara os Estados Unidos, a Índia e a Alemanha nazista, revelando como nosso mundo foi moldado pela noção de casta — e como suas hierarquias rígidas e arbitrárias nos dividem ainda hoje.
