Social Capital

O audiolivro O Capital de Marx, dos ilustres autores Ben Fine e Alfredo Saad-filho, é amplamente reconhecida como a grande introdução ao Capital, de Karl Marx. Desde sua primeira publicação, em 1975, foi traduzida para muitas línguas, tendo se tornado um clássico universal.

20 dicembre 1908: a Firenze nasce "La Voce" di Giuseppe Prezzolini; 20 febbraio 1909: a Parigi "Le Figaro" pubblica il manifesto del futurismo; 13 gennaio 1913: Giovanni Papini e Ardengo Soffici, con Aldo Palazzeschi, danno vita, a Firenze, a "Lacerba". Sono queste le date entro cui si svolge la singolare e straordinaria esperienza di Firenze capitale delle avanguardie italiane, negli anni di Giolitti e della rivoluzione industriale. Nel 1911 "La Voce" entra in polemica con il futurismo e ne mette in ridicolo le innovazioni estetiche come stravaganti e cervellotiche.

In the third volume of Capital, Marx asserts that - regardless of the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists - any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading finally to complete collapse. But he also offers an inspirational and compelling prediction: that the end of capitalism will culminate, ultimately, in the birth of a far greater form of society.

Jean-Claude Michéa a choisi en 2016 de s'installer dans un petit village des Landes, pour rompre avec le style de vie des grandes métropoles et sa logique du "toujours plus". C'est donc à partir de cette expérience de la "France périphérique" qu'il a mûri ce nouvel essai, qui nous offre une réflexion critique extrêmement originale et stimulante sur nos sociétés dites "progressistes". Il s'y emploie à mettre au jour les conséquences ultimes du mode de développement capitaliste et libéral, qui revêt de façon de plus en plus évidente la forme d'une fuite en avant suicidaire dans tous les domaines.

While some semblance of stability has returned to the financial markets, the economies on which these markets must ultimately depend remain structurally weak, and the path toward sustained growth will be difficult. In order to set the economy on a sounder path, we need to understand the sources of instability that caused the failure of the financial system, rethink established ideas, and challenge the intellectual and moral authority of the institutions that control the world's capital.

A dramatic, prescient examination of seismic changes in American politics and culture, Wildland is the story of a crucible, a period bounded by two shocks to America’s psyche, two assaults on the country’s sense of itself: the attacks of September 11th in 2001 and the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Following the lives of everyday Americans in three cities across two decades, Evan Osnos illuminates the country in a startling light, revealing how it lost the moral confidence to see itself as larger than the sum of its parts.

Proprio come l'Idra, il mostro mitologico le cui teste, mozzate da Ercole, avevano il potere di rinascere raddoppiandosi, il capitalismo, un tempo solo occidentale oggi planetario, ricompare sulla scena del mondo riproponendo nuove e più sofisticate forme di schiavitù. Ma se è vero che dai grandi conflitti del '900 il capitalismo è uscito vincitore trionfando su ogni rivoluzione, è altrettanto vero che "l'uguaglianza è una necessità che si ripresenta continuamente, come la fame".

La storia di Mafia Capitale non è solo una storia visibile, territorio della politica e dell’amministrazione, né corrisponde soltanto alle vicende torbide di corruzione e malaffare che lentamente e a fatica emergono: le ragioni della sua forza e della sua pericolosità affondano nel terreno dei quartieri e delle periferie, e risalgono a una storia antichissima. Nel suo nuovo audiolibro, che contiene uno stralcio della sentenza della Cassazione del processo Mafia Capitale, Federica Angeli indaga la lunga storia della corruzione e della mafia a Roma.

Moradia inacessível, salários precários, saúde pública, mudanças climáticas não são temas comuns no debate público feminista. Mas não seriam essas as questões que mais afetam a esmagadora maioria das mulheres em todo o mundo? Inspiradas pela erupção global de uma nova primavera feminista, Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya e Nancy Fraser, organizadoras da Greve Internacional das Mulheres (Dia sem mulher), lançam um manifesto potente sobre a necessidade de um feminismo anticapitalista, antirracista, antiLGBTfóbico e indissociável da perspectiva ecológica do bem viver.

In January of 1950, Mary Church Terrell, an 86-year-old charter member of the NAACP, headed into Thompson’s Restaurant, just a few blocks from the White House, and requested to be served. She and her companions were informed by the manager that they could not eat in his establishment, because they were “colored.” Terrell, a former suffragette and one of the country’s first college-educated African-American women, took the matter to court. Three years later, the Supreme Court vindicated her outrage: District of Columbia v. John R. Thompson Co., Inc. was decided in 1953.

Executing Democracy: Capital Punishment & the Making of America, 1683-1807 is the first volume of a rhetorical history of public debates about crime, violence, and capital punishment in America.

يعتبر كتاب رأس المال من أهم الأعمال الفكرية التي صدرت في القرن التاسع عشر، كما أنه يمكن أن يصنف مع منجزات فكرية كبرى مثل كتاب روح القوانين لمونتسكيو، ونقد العقل المجرد لكانت، عدا عن أنه واحد من أهم كتابين مؤسسين في العلوم الاقتصادية، إلى جانب ثروة الأمم لآدم سميث، ولكنه يعتبر أيضاً واحد من الكتب التي لم تقرأ بشكل جيد على الرغم من ادعاءات كثيرة بالتمكّن من الكتاب وأفكاره، للدرجة التي دفعت الكثير من الدول التي طبقت النظام الشيوعي وكثير من الأحزاب الشيوعية حول العالم لأن تتعامل معه بصفة لاهوتية، فحولته إلى نص مقدس طالما ادعت أنها تطبق أفكاره ومناهجه، والحقيقة أن الكتاب لم يقرأ جيداً،

Goldstene uses a biographical approach to focus on key figures along a spectrum of political belief as they struggled to reconcile the inherent contradictions of equal opportunity. The Struggle for America's Promise includes such figures as Booker T. Washington, Samuel Gompers, Edward Bellamy, and Emma Goldman, who were more willing to step beyond the boundaries of the discourse about opportunity and question economic competition itself.

"No codiciarás" es uno de los 10 mandamientos. Sin embargo, lo que esto abarca es mal entendido o mal interpretado por muchos. ¿Quién es culpable de este pecado? ¿Qué consecuencias tiene el pecado de la envidia? ¿Son la envidia y los celos lo mismo? ¿Hay momentos en que está bien o incluso mejor sentir un poco de envidia o celos? ¿Cómo testifican las Escrituras de la severidad del pecado? Y por último pero no menos importante, ¿cómo lo superamos? Estas y muchas otras preguntas serán respondidas en este libro analítico y espiritual de un cristiano devoto.
