"Beyond Repair. Deutschland im Systemwandel" ist eine Kollektion von 100 Finanz-Kolumnen, die der Autor in den Jahren 2000 bis 2010 fur die deutsche Tageszeitung DIE WELT geschrieben hat. Diese Kolumnen setzen sich im Kern mit dem Verhaltnis Politik und Finanzmarkt auseinander. Zusatzlich zu den 100 Kolumnen enthalt das Buch noch eine knapp 50-seitige ,Einleitung und Polemik, die die fiskalische Stabilitat Deutschlands vor dem Hintergrund der gegenwartigen politischen, sozio-kulturellen, monetaren und demographischen Realitaten hinterfragt.Auszuge:"Gute Finanzanalyse im angelsachsischen Raum zeichnet sich durch knappen meinungsfreudigen Stil unter Weglassung aller Fullworter aus. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse zuerst, der Rest muss sich fugen. Nicht wie im Deutschen, wo man mit dem Unnotigen beginnt und nach langen Ausschweifungen zum Zentralen vorstot, um am Textende die Erkenntnisse zu prasentieren. Der begrenzte Raum der Kolumnen zwang den Autor, unnotige Worter weg zu feilen und die Darstellung so knapp und dezidiert wie moglich zu halten. Manchmal versuchte der Autor bewusst und aus gutem Grunde direkt an den Anfang einen prophetischen Satz zu stellen. Etwa wenn es lapidar heit: ,Wer auf Gold setzt, tritt gegen nahezu die gesamte Finanz- und Medienindustrie an (Kolumne 50, Nov. 2004).""Eine moderne Demokratie gekoppelt mit einem schuldenfinanzierten Wohlfahrtsstaat (deutscher Pragung) und einer inversen Demographie kann schwerlich auf Dauer uberleben. Das Wesen eines demokratischen Wohlfahrtsstaates ist es, zukunftigen Generationen die heutigen Schulden aufzuburden. Es gibt keinen logischen Grund, warum ein Staat oder Wohlfahrtsstaat permanent oder exorbitant kreditfinanziert und verschuldet leben muss. Grundsatzlich gibt es nur das zu verteilen, was zu verteilen ist, insbesondere bei einer zuruckgehenden Bevolkerungszahl. Der Rest sind leere Versprechungen, fur die Kinder zukunftiger Generationen einzustehen haben."

The last general election saw the Conservatives win their highest vote share in forty 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 sixty seats stretching from the Midlands up to the north of England. Who are the Red Wall voters and why did they forgo their long-standing party loyalties? Did they simply lend their votes to Johnson to get Brexit done or will he be able to win them over more permanently? And as the Labour Party licks its wounds, how were those votes thrown away and what, if anything, can be done to win them back? And how will the pandemic and the governments reaction to it change the voters outlook on party politics in the future? Will everything be the same after it has passed? This book sets out to answer those questions by putting them to the people who will decide the next election.

I paradigmi dellepoca 4.0 richiedono un nuovo approccio anche nelliniziativa politica.Lo schema destra/sinistra, ancorché tuttora adottato da tante forze politiche per rivendicare un posizionamento, appare del tutto inadeguato e costringe a contaminazioni con le forze populiste.La competenza e i risultati non sono sufficienti a determinare una reale alternativa alla narrazione bi-populista, occorre uno sforzo diverso, volto a trasmettere la visione di un futuro emozionante e possibile.Per rendersi protagonisti di questa iniziativa, occorre liberarsi dei vecchi cordoni ombelicali, occorre superare il complesso della sinistra, ma anche la sindrome della destra.Con questo libro, lautore ci esorta a trovare il coraggio di una scelta fuori dagli schemi abituali, incentrata su una visione ottimistica della natura umana, alternativa al bi-populismo, trasversale rispetto allo schema destra/sinistra.

The debate about our DNA database, the largest per capita in the world, has dominated headlines throughout the last few years. Britain has more CCTV cameras than any other country in the world, and even more are being installed - including in private homes, facing out into the street. With the Intercept Modernisation Programme, the current government plans to record details of every telephone call made and e-mail sent by people in the United Kingdom. A database of households, is set to be compiled for health and safety reasons, is planned by the NHS. The Independent Safeguarding Authority continues to plan a compulsory register of all those who regularly come into contact with children - perhaps a third of adults in the country. Stop-and-Search powers under the Terrorism Act are argued about as photographers are arrested for taking photographs of public buildings. Data chips in our bins monitor our domestic waste. Despite a temporary retreat on their compulsory status, identity cards (and, more importantly, the database behind them) remain with us. What is the future for civil liberties in modern Britain? Big Brother Watch brings together a collection of essays by experts in fields affected by the increasingly authoritarian nature of British culture - in a country so illiberal its almost as if normal life is becoming unlawful.

In der vorliegenden Biografie beschreibt der Autor seinen lebenslangen Streifzug durch die Politik, die Stationen des Weges und die dabei gemachten Erfahrungen und gewonnenen Erkenntnisse.

Discussions about the crisis of representative democracy have dominated scholarly and public discourse for some time now. But what does this phrase actually entail, and what is its relevance today? How do citizens themselves experience, feel and respond to this crisis? Bitter-Sweet Democracy grapples with the complexities of these questions in the context of citizens relations to politics in Belgiuma nation that has experienced political instability and protests as well as social mobilization and democratic vitality in recent years.This timely and compelling volume offers new, empirical evidence on the state of trust, democracy and representation in Belgium; it further introduces an innovative methodological and conceptual framework to study this crisis, specifically by developing the concept of political resentment. The essays in this collection span diverse topics, from citizens conceptions of democracy itself and the expression of political resentment among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, to the influence of different emotional dimensions of resentment on protest behaviours. By adopting a distinctive affective lens and by building upon the specific case of Belgium, this volume contributes to the broader conversation on political resentment and the critical role of emotions in contemporary politics.Bitter-Sweet Democracy will be invaluable for scholars researching the relationship between emotions and politics, political representation and democracy, and citizen-led conceptualizations of politics. It will also appeal to decision-makers and citizens seeking to understand the challenges facing democracy, as well as a wider audience of academics and students in the fields of political science, political psychology and sociology.

In kaum einer anderen westlichen Demokratie sind Vermogen so ungleich verteilt wie in Deutschland. Wir sind ein Hochsteuerland fur mittlere Arbeitseinkommen, aber ein Niedrigsteuerland fur Vermogende. Wie kann das sein? Ist das gerecht? Warum haben Superreiche geringere Steuer- und Abgabensatze als der Durchschnitt hierzulande? Und wie bekommen wir es hin, dass unser Steuersystem allen dient?Julia Jirmann zeigt leicht verstandlich die wesentlichen Zusammenhange auf. Wer sind Deutschlands Superreiche? Wer erbt am meisten? Wie unterscheiden sich die Verhaltnisse in Ost- und Westdeutschland? Wer zahlt welche Steuern und wie viel? Gibt es einen Unterschied zwischen Mannern und Frauen? Jirmann raumt mit einigen Mythen auf und macht konkrete Reformvorschlage fur ein gerechteres Steuersystem. Denn die hohe Ungleichheit schwacht den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt und die Fahigkeit des Staates, zum Wohle der Allgemeinheit Probleme wie den Klimawandel, offentliche Mobilitat, Bildung und Sicherheit anzugehen.

El narcotráfico creó una forma de vida con consecuencias nefastas en las nuevas generaciones, sin dimensionar el daño colateral que generaron los carteles, los capos y la mafia.

Reissue of an incisive exploration of the many faces of modern nationalism by the esteemed author of On ConsolationIn 1993 Michael Ignatieff set out on a journey to the former Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Germany, Quebec, Kurdistan and Northern Ireland in order to explore the many faces of modern nationalism. Why, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War, were so many nation states disintegrating into ethnic conflict? What did nationalism promise, that so many were willing to shed blood in the name of an idea of belonging?In a stimulating mix of interviews, history and evocative reportage, Ignatieff provides a searching analysis of the brutal conflicts and powerful fantasies produced by ethnic nationalism, and questions the possibility of a nationalism based on shared civic values. Reissued with a new preface, Blood & Belonging is a nuanced, fascinating account of one of our eras defining political issues.

Blossom is an account of Scotland at the grassroots through the stories of people Ive had the good fortune to know the most stubborn, talented and resilient people on the planet. Theyve had to be. Some have transformed their parts of Scotland. Some have tried and failed. But all have something in common they know what it takes for Scotland to blossom. We should tooWeeding out vital components of Scottish identity from decades of political and social tangle is no mean task, but its one journalist Lesley Riddoch has undertaken.Dispensing with the tired, yo-yoing jousts over fiscal commissions, Devo Something and EU in-or-out, Blossom pinpoints both the buds of growth and the blight thats holding Scotland back. Drawing from its people and history as well as the experience of the Nordic countries, and the authors own passionate and outspoken perspective, this is a plain-speaking but incisive call to restore equality and control to local communities and let Scotland flourish.

Blossom: 1. A term given to flowers of stone fruit trees and some other plants that flower profusely in Spring. Blossoms provide pollen to bees, and initiate cross-pollination necessary for trees to reproduce by producing fruit. 2. A peak period or stage of development. Covering topics including housing, health, language and culture, Riddoch looks at the way in which Scots identify themselves and how this needs to change in order for the country to blossom - as an independent nation or a strongly devolved one. Arguing that limited access to security and wealth has left Scots feeling like outsiders in their own country, this book tackles fundamental and personal issues of identity that matter to ordinary Scots. Designed to incite discussion and debate, this book will appeal to those who believe larger issues of self esteem and power lurk beneath the complexities of the independence debate and want to delve deeper. BACK COVER What will it take for Scotland to blossom? Imagine Scotland as a beautifully-knitted, warmth-providing sweater caught on a snag. Its wearer tries to move forward - but cannot. A pause is needed to lift the garment clear. Scotland is thus snagged. And no amount of tugging will free it from the stubborn, progress-inhibiting three-headed hook of inequality, distant control and top-down governance. Weeding out vital components of Scottish identity from decades of political and social tangle is no mean task, but its one journalist Lesley Riddoch has undertaken. Dispensing with the tired, yo-yoing jousts over fiscal commissions, Devo Something and EU in-or-out, Blossom pinpoints both the buds of growth and the blight thats holding Scotland back. Drawing from its people, history, and the authors own passionate and outspoken perspective this is a plain-speaking but incisive call to restore control to local communities and let Scotland flourish.

La propuesta de Gianfranco Pasquino es transitar en estas páginas el pensamiento de Norberto Bobbio y Giovanni Sartori deteniéndose especialmente en temas abordados por ellos en sus trayectorias como filosofos de la ciencia politica. El recorrido incluye temas fundamentales como las nociones de ambos autores sobre la democracia, el papel de los intelectuales en la vida democratica, el sistema de partidos y tematicas de profunda actualidad. Con el conocimiento cercano de la vida y la obra que le otorga su condicion de discipulo de ambos pensadores perspectiva que no rehuye pero tampoco abusa de cierta agradecida nostalgia pero desde la madurez del intelectual formado y probado en las armas de la disciplina, Pasquino nos acerca estas herramientas para comprender y cambiar la politica

With the words: "Now I have the feeling that there is a leaden weight over everything," Bodo Ramelow described the social mood in Germany on September 1, 2013, a few weeks before the federal election. At this time, Ramelow was still the parliamentary group leader of the Left Party (Die Linke) in the Thuringian State Parliament.With his "feeling," Ramelow, born on February 16, 1956 in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Lower Saxony, was not alone. The society itself seemed on the verge of being crushed by a leaden burden, not just the mood within it. In those days, the final recourse of German politics had narrowed to the dogma of inevitability, and the ruling elite, in a grotesque manner, asserted a claim to political infallibility. In various coalitions, they had subjected the actions of the state to the paradigm of neoliberalism and called for market-radical globalization. They had reduced the role of the state to ensuring the functioning of the market. They treated its social responsibility towards the individual, society, and nature as a historical footnote. This paved the way for the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands.Many people had begun to oppose the dictate of supposed inevitability. The disillusioned turned away from the governing parties. Not a few ended up in right-wing extremist groups.Against this background, the interviewer conducted the following conversation with Bodo Ramelow. In the lead-up to the 2013 federal election, it was intended to shed light on the extent to which the party Die Linke had a concept for how to win over those disillusioned by the politics of the governing parties for a democratic and emancipatory society.A few months after the interview, Bodo Ramelow became the first Minister President of the party Die Linke in a German state. The outcome of the 2013 federal election arithmetically would have permitted a red-red-green coalition government. But things turned out differently.

Lejos de representar un fenómeno imprevisible, el ascenso de Jair Bolsonaro se encuentra enraizado en la historia de Brasil. A su vez, lo precede el triunfo de Trump en Estados Unidos y las extremas derechas en Europa. Sin embargo, sus caracteristicas son unicas y lo convierten en un fenomeno inedito, fruto de un electorado con un fuerte rechazo a la politica a consecuencia de las graves denuncias de corrupcion contra los gobiernos anteriores, desconfiado de los medios tradicionales y seducido por el estilo "politicamente incorrecto" del ex militar, que no duda en hacer declaraciones en defensa de la tortura, la pena de muerte, la homofobia, la misoginia y el racismo. Ariel Goldstein indaga en este libro, no solo en la actualidad del gigante tropical, sino tambien en su historia para comprender como un ex militar llego al poder a traves de las urnas y tras los masivos gobiernos del Partido de los Trabajadores. Y como su liderazgo puede afectar a toda la region.
