Un análisis provocador, lúcido y brutalmente honesto sobre el colapso de OccidenteHubo un tiempo en que los hombres cruzaban océanos en barcos de vapor, creían en Dios, en el Estado y en la ducha fría. No porque fueran espartanos, sino porque no tenian mas remedio. Hoy, en cambio, somos incapaces de sobrevivir sin un te matcha con leche de soja, sepultamos nuestras arrugas bajo toneladas de filtros digitales y debatimos sobre la opresion estructural desde un iPhone de 1.200 euros. Algo se ha ido al carajo en muy poco tiempo.En los dos tomos que componen Los engranajes de Occidente, Fabian C. Barrio analiza desde una perspectiva psicosociologica el declive de una civilizacion que ha pasado de alzar catedrales a cancelar panaderos. Del humanismo al algoritmo. Del sacrificio a la sobreexposicion emocional. Hoy asistimos al auge de la cultura woke y su perpetua batalla con la realidad tangible, a la resurreccion kitsch de las ultraderechas con su dorado tupe, a los nacionalismos que brotan donde ya no queda ni nacion ni sentido de pertenencia, a la manipulacion politica descarada y constante, y a las redes sociales como nuevo teatro de sombras, donde todos actuamos pero nadie vive de verdad.Este libro nos descubre que detras de todo fenomeno macro hay motivos dolorosamente humanos. Que el ocaso no es solo geopolitico, sino espiritual. Y que tal vez Occidente no se este muriendo, sino reinventando... aunque lo haga como todo lo que amamos hoy: con ansiedad, regulaciones obsesivas, autoflagelo, impuestos hasta por respirar y una playlist estupida sonando de fondo hasta que se agote la bateria.

Cómo piensa, opera y se organiza la extrema derecha: las claves del éxito político más inesperado y preocupante del siglo XXIEn apenas una década, la ultraderecha ha pasado de ser un fenómeno marginal a disputarse el poder en medio mundo. De Donald Trump a Javier Milei, de Giorgia Meloni a Viktor Orban, una nueva generacion de lideres gobierna a traves de la retorica populista y el nacionalismo identitario. Pero ¿que explica que millones de votantes hayan conectado con sus ideas?Basado en el exitoso podcast Epidemia Ultra, Franco Delle Donne, experto en autoritarismos, rastrea los origenes y la evolucion de esta ola reaccionaria desde finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. De la Francia que llevo a Jean-Marie Le Pen a las puertas del poder a la propaganda neorreaccionaria de Silicon Valley y Peter Thiel, pasando por casos tan emblematicos y preocupantes como el modelo Bukele en El Salvador o el nacionalismo hindu de Narendra Modi.

A quarter of a century in power has allowed Vladimir Putin to enrich himself. He has done this by plundering Russias resources, confiscated private businesses and persecuted those who stood against him including Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Bill Browder. Putin put their assets under the control of his friends and cronies, who creamed off billions from nominally-state owned corporations.In 2022 Fortune Magazine estimated Putins personal fortune at $200 billion. The revenues he stole allowed Putin to build up an unparalleled war chest and this he used to pay for the invasion of Ukraine.The people Putin robbed he tortured and murdered. Some tried to fight back. Of these original oligarchs only Roman Abramovich survives.This is the fascinating story of what has happened to the men that Putin dispossessed and where their money went. But revenge is best served with cool heads and sharp minds. A small team of legal experts has spent the last twenty years pursuing Putin in the courts of the world. These legal experts are based in London and they are set on reclaiming this enormous wealth.The effect on the War in Ukraine will be just one result of their determined efforts.

In 2019, it looked like the electoral map of Britain had been changed for ever, with once solidly Labour constituencies voting Conservative for the first time. An epochal realignment seemed to be in train that saw the Conservative electoral coalition become much more northern and working class and Labour depending more on middle-class voters in the south. Only a few years later, the realignment lies in ruins.The Red Wall has returned to Labour, and its clear 2019 was a blip. Tories are now jostling amongst themselves to be seen as the heirs to Thatcher. Its almost like the promise of change and levelling up was a fever dream as political parties and voters revert to type.What happened? And what can be done? The Conservatives made a big promise to Red Wall voters in 2019, speaking openly about first-time Conservative voters lending their support and promising that this trust wouldnt be forgotten. They swept the Red Wall with a promise of big economic change.In reality, that was quickly forgotten and the realignment was put in the too-difficult box, in favour of Thatcherite cosplaying that appealed to a tiny core of Tory members but didnt address the real problems the country faced. But the politics behind it cannot be ignored.This book will address what went wrong with the so-called realignment and what needs to be done to revive it.

Between 2016 and 2019, a unique coalition assembled within British politics. Combining Corbynite campaigners and Conservative Cabinet ministers, celebrities and grassroots activists, seasoned political veterans and novice political amateurs, this disparate assemblage of forces was brought together by one aim: stopping Brexit. What began as the unfocused, often deeply emotional belief that Britain must not leave the EU morphed, fleetingly, into a mass movement: the Peoples Vote campaign, a mess of organisations united by the call for a second referendum on Europe.From the stunts of youth campaigners and the online antics of new pro-EU influencers to the million-person marches of 2019 and the launch of new centrist parties, many people, serious and unserious alike, dedicated themselves to securing a new vote. A campaign premised on telling the nation that they had gotten it catastrophically wrong was always going to be hard, and it was only made more so by parliamentary maths that never seemed to quite add up. Based on interviews with the people who were there, No Second Chances tells the dramatic, bizarre, and (at times) embarrassing story of one of recent British historys most feted roads not taken.
