A prominent conservative scholar traces the post-1960s divisions between the Right and the Left, taking aim at liberals' victimization of African Americans and their failure to offer a viable way forward for American society. The United States today is hopelessly polarized; the political Right and Left have hardened into rigid and deeply antagonistic camps, preventing any sort of progress.

L'imperativo della nostra economia è la crescita - continua, inarrestabile, vertiginosa. È il metro con cui giudichiamo il valore delle nostre società e il prodotto interno lordo è il suo indicatore principale, lo specchio magico che ci dice quanto le nostre economie sono belle e sane, senza, dirci nulla su quanto stiamo bene noi e quanto staranno bene i nostri figli.

Fashion is a business of smoke and mirrors, notorious for crushing the souls of most who dare to be part of the industry. Go on a global expedition with New York City-based fashion buyer, strategist, and consultant, Mercedes Gonzalez, as she learns that there is no glamour in fashion and that only cutthroat corporate espionage prevails. From politicking with blood diamond dealers and Russian kingpins to living in indigenous villages, she has relied on her street smarts and fear of her uncle in order to outwit the industry tyrants at their own game.

American economic policy ranks as something between bad and disgraceful. As leading economist Alan S. Blinder argues, a crucial cultural divide separates economic and political civilizations. Economists and politicians often talk - and act - at cross purposes: politicians typically seek economists' "advice" only to support preconceived notions, not to learn what economists actually know or believe. Politicians naturally worry about keeping constituents happy and winning elections. Some are devoted to an ideology.

In this classic account, historian Philip Foner traces the radical history of black workers’ contribution to the American labor movement.

The change in our ancestors' behaviour was barely perceptible at first. Only a few clues in the archaeological record - sea shells, ochre and stone tools exchanged over long distances - hint at what was to come. Today, a network of interdependence and trade spans the planet - lifting most of our species out of the grinding poverty of the past. But for much of history this engine of human progress stalled, with societies rigged in the interests of small parasitic elites.

Per alcuni porterebbe alla semplificazione del sistema tributario e a una pressione fiscale meno opprimente per chi lavora, favorendo la crescita economica e contrastando l'evasione. Per altri, che la identificano con una bassa pressione fiscale, la flat tax sarebbe una riforma a vantaggio dei più ricchi che costringerebbe lo Stato a tagliare la spesa sociale. L'audiolibro illustra con chiarezza caratteristiche e posta in gioco della flat tax: vantaggi e limiti, esperienze in altri paesi, effetti possibili delle proposte avanzate negli ultimi anni in Italia.

Nell'audiolibro, qui presentato in edizione aggiornata, si racconta la storia di questa istituzione e se ne illustrano le funzioni, le strutture e le responsabilità.

The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919) is a book written by the British economist John Maynard Keynes. After the First World War, Keynes attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as a delegate of the British Treasury. In this book, he argued for a more generous peace, not out of a desire for justice or fairness - but for the sake of the economic well-being of all of Europe, including the Allied Powers, which the Treaty of Versailles would prevent.

First published in 1936, Keynes’ ideas had evolved during the difficulties following World War 1 in Europe, and the US crash and the Depression of the 1920s-'30s and the misery of mass unemployment. He deplored the situation where a few individuals or companies stored massive wealth while vast numbers experienced poverty and insecurity (his alarm bells ring today!) and sought to promote initiatives where governments could intervene with social projects to keep money fluctuating.

Cincuenta años después de su publicación, Muerte y vida de las grandes ciudades es, según el New York Times, «probablemente la obra más influyente en la historia de la planificación urbana». Jane Jacobs, columnista y crítica de arquitectura en Nueva York de principios de los años sesenta, afirmaba que la diversidad y la vitalidad de las ciudades estaban siendo destruidas por algunos arquitectos y urbanistas muy influyentes.

The oil and gas industry is at a crossroads. Recent low prices, rapidly growing alternative fuels like renewables, the permanent swing from peak oil to super abundance, shifting consumer preferences, and global pressures to decarbonize suggest a challenged industry for the foreseeable future. Digital advances offer ways to lower costs of production, improve productivity, reduce carbon emissions, and regain public confidence. A wait-and-see attitude to digital innovation has failed many industries already....
