So how and why has their thirty-year alliance irretrievably broken down?Break-Up tells the inside story of how the once unbreakable unity of the Scottish National Party was ripped apart amid shocking claims of sexual assault. With unrivalled access to both camps and the women who made the allegations, and with rigorously fair-minded reporting, journalists David Clegg and Kieran Andrews go behind the headlines to uncover the truth about this extraordinary episode, in a piece of political history that reads like a thriller.Now fully updated, this is a jaw-dropping tale of inappropriate behaviour in the highest reaches of power, of lies, distrust and alleged conspiracy, with profound implications not only for Salmond and Sturgeon themselves but for Scotlands governing party and the wider independence campaign.

El protagonismo de la mentira en los fascismos del pasado y en los populismos de derecha del presente analizado detalladamente y en perspectiva histórica en tiempos de la "post verdad".Al explicar por que su antecesor mentia tanto, el presidente de los Estados Unidos de America, Joe Biden, dijo "Trump miente como Goebbels". ¿Era adecuada la comparacion? Este libro sostiene que si porque, en efecto, hoy asistimos a una notable y sostenida ola de emergencia de nuevos lideres populistas de derecha en todo el mundo que, al igual que los lideres fascistas del pasado, derivan gran parte de su poder politico de cuestionar la realidad, respaldar mitos, promover ira y paranoia y difundir mentiras. Federico Finchelstein explica por que los fascistas consideraban que sus mentiras ("verdades simples") llenas de odio, eran ciertas y por que, a traves de la historia del siglo XX, muchos seguidores de sus postulados las asumieron como verdad encarnada en sus lideres. Si de Hitler a Mussolini los lideres del fascismo capitalizaron la falsedad como base de su poder, esa historia continua en el presente: ahora las noticias verdaderas se presentan como fake news y las noticias falsas se convierten en politica de gobierno. La "post verdad", segun se demuestra y detalla explicitamente aqui, tiene una larga historia politica y un linaje intelectual bien preciso. Compendio vital sobre el momento sombrio que atraviesa la politica contemporanea, esta no es solo una aguda historia intelectual del fascismo, sino un recordatorio urgente de la poderosa fuente de odio que subyace a nuestra era de negacion de la realidad.La critica ha dicho...

La historia de un movimiento político, de fuerte raigambre filosófica, que influyó en innumerables políticos, filósofos, escritores y artistas del S.XX y aún del S. XXI.En la cultura popular y aún en el lenguaje cotidiano se ha venido identificando el anarquismo y la anarquia con conceptos como caos, desorganizacion, desinteres y aun violencia y terrorismo. Estos cliches hacen necesaria una obra como Breve historia del Anarquismo que hunde su mirada en las raices filosoficas del movimiento para mostrarnos luego su devenir historico en los distintos paises en los que calo "especialmente en España donde el anarquismo constituyo un caso particular-, con el fin de ayudarnos a clarificar cual es la relacion real del anarquismo con reivindicaciones como la colectivizacion del campo o la emancipacion de la mujer, y cual es su relacion con la violencia contra el estado y el terrorismo como forma de destruccion del poder.Divide el libro Javier Paniagua en tres partes que sirven para abordar el anarquismo teniendo en cuenta sus justas proporciones. Presentara en el primer capitulo las raices teoricas y filosoficas desde las que evoluciona el movimiento, primero como leves bosquejos de teoria en el S. XVIII y ya como ideario cristalizado en el XIX, aunque siempre movil y plural, bajo figuras tan relevantes como Proudhon, Bakunin, Malatesta o Kropotkin. Presentadas las aristas teoricas del anarquismo y sus distintas versiones nos hablara de la historia del mismo en España, un caso particular, porque estuvo vigente hasta el final de la Guerra Civil cuando en el resto del mundo su vigencia termino veinte años antes, ademas el gobierno republicano conto con varios ministros anarquistas " como Federica Montseny, primera mujer ministra de la historia de España-. Asistiremos en esta segunda parte a momentos algidos del movimiento como la Semana Tragica, la creacion de la CNT o de la FAI.

Liberalismo: conjunto de doctrinas favorables a la libertad política en los Estados. Resulta difícil, sin embargo, hallar en esa palabra un sistema único y cohesionado: se habla de liberalismo político y economico, pero tambien social, filosofico e incluso teologico. Todo depende de que entendamos por libertad.Nace en el siglo XVII en Europa, y pronto se expande a America y al resto del mundo, generando un tipo de sociedad, hasta nuestros dias. El autor analiza ese proceso historico, su aportacion y sus consecuencias.

El mundo actual, y su eterna pugna entre personas y mercados, es incomprensible si no se entiende la historia de estas teorías político-económicas. La historia del S. XX puede narrarse a través de las distintas teorias sociales, historicas, economicas o filosoficas que convulsionaron a los distintos paises y a las personas. Dos de estas ideas, las mas relevantes y las que tuvieron mayor recorrido, son el comunismo y el socialismo que, con continuas actualizaciones y revisiones, siguen teniendo una vigencia total y que son imprescindibles para comprender conceptos tan debatidos en la actualidad como estado de bienestar, capital o socialdemocracia. Breve Historia del Socialismo y del Comunismo nos presenta de un modo claro, preciso y pormenorizado los distintos avatares por los que han atravesado estas teorias. Javier Paniagua parte de un analisis de las germinales teorias de Marx y de su desarrollo hasta la celebracion de la I Internacional en la que las ideas de Marx entraran en dura pugna con las del anarquista Bakunin, el desarrollo de las tesis marxistas sera desde ahi exponencial y se multiplicaran los partidos comunistas hasta la creacion de la II Internacional. Este es un punto axial ya que, desde aqui, las tesis de Marx se dividiran en dos facciones: la reformista que discutira ciertos postulados y acabara aceptando el libre mercado, fundando lo que hoy se conoce como socialdemocracia; y la radical representada por Lenin y que dara lugar a la URSS. Breve Historia del Socialismo y del Comunismo es la historia de la genesis de estas ideas, pero tambien de su confrontacion durante la Guerra Fria, es la historia del fin del comunismo tras la caida del Muro de Berlin y es la historia de la perdida de fuerza de la socialdemocracia frente al neoliberalismo en los inicios del S. XXI. Razones para comprar la obra: - Las teorias socioeconomicas estan en la base de todos los debates politicos de la actualidad, en todo el mundo.

Britains Greatest Prime Minister: Lord Liverpool unpicks two centuries of Whig history to redeem Lord Liverpool (1770-1828) from arch-mediocrity and establish him as the greatest political leader the country has ever seen. In the past, biographers of Lord Liverpool have not sufficiently acknowledged the importance of his foremost skill: economic policy (including fiscal, monetary and banking system questions). Here, Hutchinsons decades of experience in the finance sector provide a more specialised perspective on Liverpools economic legacy than most historians are able to offer. From his adept handling of unparalleled economic and social difficulties, to his strategic defeat of Napoleon and unprecedented approach to the subsequent peace process, Liverpool is shown to have set Britains course for prosperity and effective government for the following century. In addition to granting him his rightful place among British Prime Ministers on both domestic and foreign policy grounds, Hutchinson advances how a proper regard for Liverpools career might have changed the structure and policies of todays government for the better.

A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.

Buddhas Spuren verlaufen im Sand.Nach dem alten Meister Obaku hat Buddha neunundvierzig Jahre gepredigt und dabei in Wahrheit kein Wort gesprochen.Entsprechend liegt alle Erkenntnis jenseits der Worte, des Wissens und von uns als Person. Auch die Suche nach "uns selbst" verlauft damit im Sand. Wir werden nie ankommen, weil wir gar nicht unterwegs sind. Effektiv erfullt sich das Leben selbst, und es braucht keinen Buddha, um Buddha zu sein. Die Spuren Buddhas sind unsere eigenen. Kommt eine Welle, sind sie weg. Da ist nur Freiheit.

Oswald Mosley was an English aristocrat who made his mark on British politics as the founder and leader of the British Union of Fascists. A man of intellect and determination, he rebelled against the establishment of his day. He rejected the authority of those who he believed acted not as shepherds of their people but their false friends, decrepit and slinking middle managers for international capital and finance.James Drennans B.U.F. Oswald Mosley and British Fascism is an internal history of the British Union of Fascists which describes Mosleys dramatic journey across the English political spectrum, culminating at the formation of Britains foremost Fascist movement. It delves into contemporary politics, condemning the political class with dry, acrid wit; and into English history, describing the ruin brought by the rise of capitalism and democracy. Drennan describes Fascism as a spiritually pan-European movement, representing equally an economic revolt against the obsolete capitalist system, and a spiritual reaction against the materialist and internationalist concepts of Marxism. It was, in his analysis, the heroic challenge of the men of his age to the pessimism of Spengler, an elite effort of the European civilization to overcome its prophesied twilight and create a new and better world. The fact that in 1934 such predictions could be made, dazzling in their unalloyed hope and confidence, appear all the more tragic in hindsight, but the legacy of the men described in this book will not be forgotten.Antelope Hill is proud to republish Drennans B.U.F. Oswald Mosley and British Fascism, a work of the utmost historical importance. The preservation of books like this is key to the continued battle to defend Britain and Europe from all those who seek to destroy them.
