Noam Chomsky is widely regarded as the most influential thinker of our time, but never before has he devoted a major book to one topic: income inequality. Requiem for the American Dream is not an essay collection but an entire work of some 70,000 words, based on four years of interviews with Chomsky by the editors. It is a book that makes Chomsky's breadth and depth accessible and at the same time gives us his most powerful political ideas with unprecedented, breathtaking directness.

On an average day in America, seven young people aged 19 or under will be shot dead. In Another Day in the Death of America, award-winning Guardian journalist Gary Younge tells the stories of the lives lost during the course of a single day in the United States. It could have been any day, but Younge has chosen November 23, 2013. Far from a dry account of gun policy in the United States or a polemic about the dangers of gun violence, the book is a gripping chronicle of an ordinary but deadly day in American life.

A graphic and biting polemic that still holds a fierce political relevance and impact despite being written over half a century ago. First published in 1937 it charts George Orwell's observations of working-class life during the 1930s in the industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. His depictions of social injustice and rising unemployment, the dangerous working conditions in the mines amid general squalor and hunger also bring together many of the ideas explored in his later works and novels.

Urban, divers, kosmopolitisch, individualistisch - links ist für viele heute vor allem eine Lifestylefrage. Politische Konzepte für sozialen Zusammenhalt bleiben auf der Strecke, genauso wie schlecht verdienende Frauen, arme Zuwandererkinder, ausgebeutete Leiharbeiter und große Teile der Mittelschicht. Ob in den USA oder Europa: Wer sich auf Gendersternchen konzentriert statt auf Chancengerechtigkeit und dabei Kultur und Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl der Bevölkerungsmehrheit vernachlässigt, arbeitet der politischen Rechten in die Hände.

To My Black Friend is a heartfelt plea for responsibility, repair, and the work before us. This book speaks directly to the challenges facing the Black community—not from a place of condemnation, but from a place of urgency, love, and truth. It acknowledges the reality of systemic injustice, generational trauma, and historical burden, while also calling for disciplined homes, stronger internal standards, accountable leadership, and intentional rebuilding. This is not a political argument. It is a moral and cultural call to action.

In einer schweren Krise wurde die NSDAP 1932 zur mit Abstand stärksten Partei gewählt. Bald konnte sie die Macht übernehmen und auf wachsende gesellschaftliche Zustimmung bauen. Hitler brauchte den Krieg – das Volk fürchtete sich davor. Dennoch terrorisierten schließlich 18 Millionen deutsche Soldaten Europa. Wie kam es dazu? Warum beteiligten sich Hunderttausende an beispiellosen Massenmorden? Tiefgründig analysiert Götz Aly die Herrschaftsmethoden, mit denen die NS-Machthaber Millionen Deutsche in gefügige Vollstrecker oder in vom Krieg abgestumpfte Mitmacher verwandelten.

Obwohl wir inzwischen im 21. Jahrhundert leben, herrscht noch immer das Patriarchat. Warum zur Hölle ist das so? Und was kann jede*r persönlich dazu beitragen, die häufig unbewussten toxischen Strukturen zu erkennen und aufzulösen? Dieses Hörbuch mit Beiträgen von bekannten Autor*innen bietet Hilfestellung. Sich gegen das Patriarchat zur Wehr zu setzen, ist besonders im Alltag schwierig. Denn vieles ist uns so vertraut, dass wir es gar nicht hinterfragen. Sogar bekennende Feminist*innen tappen immer wieder in die gleichen Fallen.

The United States is the richest country on earth, yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments and extensive relief programs. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars? In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines the nature of American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it.

Capitalism has blessed the world with wealth and technological miracles. It has also cursed it with urban slums, powerless workers, and the vicious boom-and-bust economy. If only there were some way to fix the problems of capitalism and keep all its benefits. In 1897, Henry George published his solution to this puzzle, Progress and Poverty. He suggested that, unlike all other taxes, a tax on land doesn't discourage entrepreneurship. A single tax on land can raise the revenues we need to help the poor without destroying the incentive to create wealth.
