Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power: America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home.

It is rare in history that so many nations in the developed world are in crisis at the same time. There has been a disintegration of trust in political leaders and in the media that holds them to account. For all the progress humankind has made, for all the inventions and new technologies, our society is being undermined by inequality. We should care not simply because of its impact on productivity and growth, but because it's wrong. It's wrong that some don't have enough money to eat whilst others fly wagyu beef halfway across the planet for a couple of amusing mouthfuls.

The future of Russia lies outside the country. Since Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, some one million Russians have fled the country and gone into exile. Motivated by opposition to the war, by guilt for their country’s deeds, by personal hatred for the Czar-like Putin, and by a...

Frente a la actual «panoplia de zapadores» de la Constitución que busca dividir el país -nacionalistas, populistas, antisistemas-, los firmes partidarios de la libertad y la democracia van reculando en sus posiciones hasta conformar un «ejército de descontentos acobardados». Esta es la razón principal que impulsó a Alfonso Guerra, político orgulloso de la Transición que nos «devolvió la dignidad», a escribir La España en la que creo.

On the night of 7 May 2015, Ed Balls thought there was a chance he would wake up the next morning as the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. Instead he woke up without a job. For two decades he had occupied a central position within Labour, rising from adviser to Cabinet Minister during the years in power and Shadow Chancellor in Opposition. Throughout one of the most tumultuous periods in recent British history, he made a point of speaking out, whatever the consequences.

Emerging from a collection of disparate city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and democracy is undermined from its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability. Mixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical evidence, this is a searching and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate.

Nel 1861 si forma il Regno d'Italia: dopo molti secoli di frammentazione statale la penisola è così riunita in un'unica compagine, i cui territori vengono completati nei dieci anni seguenti. È un evento rivoluzionario, vissuto in questi termini dai contemporanei, in Italia e fuori d'Italia. In questo libro l'autore analizza il lungo processo di formazione del movimento nazionale, dai primi slanci patriottici di fine Settecento alle organizzazioni insurrezionali, ai tentativi rivoluzionari della prima metà dell'Ottocento fino all'anno cruciale del regno.

Was macht die Ukraine aus? Erst mit der russischen Annexion der Krim entwickelte sich ein Bewusstsein für die Eigenständigkeit dieses Landes, das nach dem Willen der Aggressoren nun von der Landkarte verschwinden soll. Seit vielen Jahren ist Karl Schlögel in der Ukraine unterwegs, seine ukrainischen Lektionen von 2015 ergänzt er nun um einen großen Essay über den Krieg, der sich gegen die Idee der Freiheitlichkeit überhaupt richtet.

Nous avons dit que l'Anarchie est la société sans gouvernement. Mais la suppression des gouvernements est-elle possible, souhaitable et prévisible ? C'est ce que nous allons voir.

Wettbewerb gilt im allgemeinen Verständnis als Grundvoraussetzung für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Die Europäische Union (EU) hat dies sogar in den vier Freiheiten des Binnenmarkts institutionalisiert. Auch in Deutschland gilt: je mehr Wettbewerb es gibt, desto mehr wirtschaftliche Dynamik bekommen wir. Doch kann man an einer solchen Denkweise tatsächlich noch festhalten? Was wäre, wenn wir dieses Modell von Grund auf neu denken würden? Ist es unserer Zeit nicht angemessen, wäre es nicht nötig, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu steuern?

The author tells 30 baffling World War II stories in her own words as she witnessed them as a young girl growing up in Berlin, Germany. Ingrid’s unusual upbringing placed her squarely between a mother who was raised in the creative life of a circus family and a father who worked as an engineer who was forced into Hitler’s inner circle.

The last general election saw the Conservatives win their highest vote share in 40 years, while Labour slumped to their lowest seat total since 1935. At the heart of this electoral earthquake was the so-called Red Wall, some 60 seats stretching from the Midlands up to the North of England. Working-class voters in these old coal, steel and manufacturing constituencies had been the bedrock of past Labour victories, but all that changed on 12th December 2019 when Boris Johnson turned the Red Wall blue.
