¿Cómo hemos llegado a someternos, en una sociedad que se proclama racional y científica, a un pensamiento único disfrazado de virtud?Este libro no busca complacer ni incendiar, más bien comprender. Desde una mirada critica -pero no cinica-, la autora desentraña los engranajes del paradigma woke en España, sus raices ideologicas y su progresivo deterioro. ¿Que ocurre cuando la lucha por la igualdad deriva en puritanismo moral? ¿Que sucede cuando la diversidad se sacrifica en nombre de una uniformidad impuesta?Con lucidez y valentia, De la Torre enlaza la Torre de Babel con las nuevas torres ideologicas del presente y analiza como el lenguaje se convierte en arma, como se sofoca la disidencia en nombre del bien comun y como, en ese proceso, se erosionan el debate, el pensamiento complejo y la libertad misma. Examina tambien los desafios de la era digital, donde las identidades se evaporan y los algoritmos reducen al ciudadano a consumidor.Entre la critica cultural, el ensayo politico y la filosofia especulativa, esta obra ofrece un mapa para quienes intuyen que algo no encaja en el relato dominante, pero no saben aun como nombrarlo.No es un manifiesto. Es una invitacion: a pensar mas alla, a cruzar el puente.

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.

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.

Sobre los escombros de Gaza reúne intelectuales, militantes y periodistas israelíes que rechazan la brutalidad del gobierno de Netanyahu, la ocupación perpetua y el racismo institucional que han convertido a Gaza en un campo de exterminio; pero tambien condenan sin matices la violencia criminal de Hamas y su fanatismo teocratico. Las voces que componen este libro representan distintas formas de resistencia a un discurso que parece unico en Israel: el de la guerra y la destruccion. Hay relatos de sobrevivientes al 7 de Octubre, miembros de kibutz arrasados, que sin embargo siguen diciendo no a la destruccion planificada por el Estado de Israel. Estan las cronicas de las artistas palestinas-israelies que capturan en obras plasticas el duelo por los niños y niñas asesinados, musicas censuradas por negarse a cantar para el Ejercito, fotografos que hace decadas documentan la ocupacion y las masacres. Tambien especialistas realizan analisis economicos e historicos, que recorren el pasado y el presente de Gaza como una herida abierta desde 1948, el avance paciente y cruel de la colonizacion en Cisjordania y el derrumbe moral de una democracia que ya no logra reconocerse. Y frente a lo cual, nos muestra este libro, hay marchas y resistencias casi nunca visibilizadas por los grandes medios y su cerco informativo. Desde el corazon de Israel, un libro vital para pensar que significa resistir en tiempos en los que todo parece enemistarse con la posibilidad de la paz; en tiempos en los que es imprescindible no callar.

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.
