Today there are three million homeless people in the US and almost 20 million vacant homes. The most technologically advanced nation in the world has a life expectancy lower than that of Chile and Bahrain. And citizens of the wealthiest country on the planet continue to ingest toxic chemicals through their food, their vaccines, and even their water. America, Jim Marrs argues, has been seized by a culture of death. And who promulgates this culture? The globalist masters of the G.O.D. syndicate - guns, oil, and drugs.

While millions face hunger, malnutrition, and starvation, the world's population is increasing by over 225,000 people per day, 80 million per year. In many countries, supplies of food and water are inadequate to support the population, so the world falls deeper and deeper into what economists call the "Malthusian trap". Here, Malthus examines the tendency of human numbers to outstrip their resources, and argues that poverty, disease, and starvation are necessary to keep societies from moving beyond their means of subsistence.

Many of the prices we pay seem to make little sense. We shell out $2.29 for a coffee at Starbucks when a nearly identical brew can be had at the corner deli for less than a dollar. We may be less willing to give blood for $25 than to donate it for free. Americans hire the cheap labor of illegal immigrants to fix the roof or mow the lawn and vote for politicians who promise to spend billions to keep them out of the country.

Por que os seres humanos tendem a estabelecer relações de domínio e servidão? Além dos fatores sociais, políticos e históricos em jogo, quais são as bases psíquicas de tal tendência? Este audiolivro é um ensaio em torno de tais questões, tomando como eixo central o modo como se institui psiquicamente a autoridade e se forma o Eu autoritário. Sua referência principal é a psicanálise, mas não sem diálogos com a antropologia, filosofia, sociologia, linguística e literatura. Por meio desses diálogos, elabora dois conceitos-chave.

Max Weber hat in diesem Vortrag eine komprimierte Fassung seines umfassenden Werkes geschaffen. Themen sind Wirtschaft, Recht, Religion, Gesellschaft, Staat und Herrschaft und eine Fülle historischer Fakten. Dies alles bekommt seine Erwähnung als Bedingung für den Willen zum Beruf als Politiker. Es ist dies fast ein Handbuch Politik. Jeder an Politik Interessierte sollte dies kennen.

Am 6. April 1967 hielt Theodor W. Adorno auf Einladung des Verbands Sozialistischer Studenten Österreichs an der Wiener Universität einen Vortrag, der aus heutiger Sicht nicht nur von historischem Interesse ist. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs der NPD, die bereits in den ersten beiden Jahren nach ihrer Gründung im November 1964 erstaunliche Wahlerfolge einfahren konnte, analysiert Adorno Ziele, Mittel und Taktiken des neuen Rechtsradikalismus dieser Zeit.

Max Weber gilt als Mitbegründer der Disziplin der Soziologie. Sein Werk "Die protestantische Ethik" war wegweisend, da zum ersten Mal versucht wurde, die ökonomischen Triebkräfte der Religionen zu analysieren. Ein faszinierendes Stück Zeitgeschichte, noch heute!
