Este libro de Jorge Riechmann, recopilación parcial de Ni tribunos: ideas y materiales para un programa ecosocialista, un trabajo conjunto con Paco Fernández Buey publicado en 1996, con un agiornamento titulado Tres decenios despues, aborda las tematicas clave del Siglo de la Gran Prueba, a saber: la necesidad imperiosa de reducir la produccion material, el transporte, la extraccion de minerales y la generacion energetica; junto con el enfoque filosofico de imitar a la naturaleza a la hora de abordar estrategias de autosuficiencia, reciclaje, aprovechamiento energetico, cierre de ciclos y economia circular, para contribuir a una transformacion sistemica (incluyendo la mitigacion del calentamiento climatico). El autor insiste en la imposibilidad de toda transicion energetica que no se proponga una reduccion radical del consumo de energia, llama la atencion sobre la vinculacion del extractivismo, el imperialismo y el nuevo militarismo y destaca el oximoron radical que contiene la expresion capitalismo verde. En su prologo Manuel Gari situa los aspectos estrategicos y economicos clave mas relacionados con las problematicas acuciantes que situa el autor y plantea un debate fraterno acerca de algunos enfoques.

If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one New York TimesA deeply compelling read urgent and necessary Evening StandardNaomi Klein, author of era-defining bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine, This Changes Everything and No Logo, is back with her most compulsive and personal book yet: a revelatory journey into the mirror world of our polarised ageWhen Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name, but had radically different, harmful views, was getting chronically mistaken for her, it seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. Then suddenly it wasn't. She started to find herself grappling with a distorted sense of reality, becoming obsessed with reading the threats on social media, the endlessly scrolling insults from the followers of her doppelganger.Why had her shadowy other gone down such an extreme path? Why was identity - all we have to meet the world - so unstable?To find out, Klein decided to follow her double into a bizarre, uncanny mirror world: one of conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers and demagogue hucksters, where soft-focus wellness influencers make common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting 'the children'). In doing so, she lifts the lid on our own culture during this surreal moment in history, as we turn ourselves into polished virtual brands, publicly shame our enemies, watch as deep fakes proliferate and whole nations flip from democracy to something far more sinister. This is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy which invites us to view our reflections in the looking glass.It's for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters.

A tremendous book that'll linger long after you've turned the last page' Raj Patel, author of InflamedThe face of hunger is changing. Since the Covid pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even the West is experiencing a level of food insecurity not seen for generations. Climate change is already resulting in food-related migration, and the world will soon see significant shifts in the location of arable land.The New Breadline is a call to action on the issues of food aid, food security and climate justice, told from the frontlines of hunger. Jean-Martin Bauer eloquently dissects inequity and racism in the humanitarian system, drawing on his Haitian childhood and his career as an aid worker, asking: when decisions about food are being made, who isn't at the table? Urgent, incisive, and full of compassion, this is the human story of hunger.

Los términos fascismo y Falange no son sinónimos aunque obviamente no resultan antónimos, desde una perspectiva política, si bien, en los últimos tiempos, se vienen mezclando con excesiva ligereza por necesidades propagandisticas y de exclusion social, omitiendo las singularidades del historico movimiento español. Por tanto, conviene analizar esta materia con mayor prudencia y delicadeza, abordando las relaciones entre el fascismo y el nacionalsindicalismo peninsular desde una nueva perspectiva ideologica, temporal y documental.

When green campaigners and politicians lose the debate, this is why. Now, the Mayor of London draws on a decade in the corridors (and cycle lanes) of power to explain how, in practice, to win the climate argument. His book will help create a world where we can all breathe again._'A rousing and thoughtful investigation into the politics of the climate crisis - and the path forward.'Independent'For those feeling disheartened by the scale of the environmental crisis - and the lack of meaningful action on behalf of most political leaders - Breathe is a refreshing and galvanising call to action.'Vogue'A warm, optimistic, urgent call for change' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland'An absolute must read for anyone interested in politics for progressive change' Jemima Hartshorn, co-founder of Mums for Lungs'Sadiq Khan has shown the world that transformative green politics is possible' Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Ideas como las de autogestión, democracia directa y apoyo mutuo han sido defendidas tanto por el anarquismo que vio la luz en la Europa del siglo XIX como por muchos pueblos indígenas que espontaneamente las han llevado a la practica desde tiempo inmemorial. Este libro en una nueva edicion, revisada y ampliada por su autor estudia la relacion entre esos dos mundos, y lo hace con la voluntad de alentar, en paralelo, una definitiva descolonizacion del propio pensamiento anarquista. Sirve como introduccion, tambien, a la realidad, comunmente olvidada, de los anarquismos que adquirieron carta de naturaleza en America, Africa, Asia y Oceania.

A splendid book: economical, invigorating and surprising' The Times'He has that gift, both as a podcaster and as a writer, to illuminate abstruse and abstract ideas with human charm' ObserverIn this bold new follow-up to Confronting Leviathan, David Runciman unmasks modern politics and reveals the great men and women of ideas behind it. What can Samuel Butler's ideas teach us about the oddity of how we choose to organise our societies? How did Frederick Douglass not only expose the horrors of slavery, but champion a new approach to abolishing it? Why should we tolerate snobbery, betrayal and hypocrisy, as Judith Shklar suggested? And what does Friedrich Nietzsche predict for our future?From Rousseau to Rawls, fascism to feminism and pleasure to anarchy, this is a mind-bending tour through the history of ideas which will forever change your view of politics today.

Una visión inédita de la consolidación de la Falange como fundamental brazo civil organizado del Régimen franquista. A partir de una ingente documentación inédita del archivo personal de José Luis de Arrese durante su primera etapa como ministro secretario general de FET y de las JONS entre 1941 y 1945, Joan Maria Thomas explica en Postguerra y Falange como se consolido el partido unico como fundamental brazo civil organizado del Regimen franquista. Las paginas de este exhaustivo estudio detallan el modo en que sus lideres ejercian el mando; la violencia estructural que practicaba la organizacion que formaba parte de su ADN; su populismo, al presentarse como autentico y unico representante del pueblo y plantear medidas sociales en medio de un panorama de desolacion, hambre y privaciones; su voluntad de lograr la hegemonia sobre el resto de sectores franquistas (algo que jamas conseguirian); y su gran oportunismo politico. El mesianismo de los falangistas fue, en ultima instancia, su principal seña de identidad. Creian en su papel señero e imprescindible en tanto que proveedores de la unica doctrina capaz de llevar a España a su plenitud, liderada por un jefe nacional, Francisco Franco, flanqueado por un Jose Luis de Arrese que acabaria arrogandose ni mas ni menos que el papel de interprete maximo del pensamiento del fundador del partido, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera.

En un futuro cercano, la República Neoliberal Capitalista de Productividad convence a sus ciudadanos de que producir y consumir son las claves de la libertad. Xía, que ha perdido su estatus de catedratica de Humanidades y ya no sabe quien es ni cree merecer estar al lado de su esposa, se siente atrapada en este sistema opresivo donde la homosexualidad podria volver a ser prohibida y los derechos sacrificados en nombre del progreso. Decidida a escapar, se une a su mejor amiga Kleo y a su amigo Ryk y cruzan la frontera en busca de asilo en el pais vecino. Dos policias se encargaran de entrevistar al trio cuyas historias se entrelazan y reflejan nuestra sociedad. ¿Necesitamos un chip para convertirnos en esclavos de un sistema perverso? ¿Como podemos liberarnos de la maquinaria que aplasta a cualquiera que se interponga en su camino? Libertad, S. A. ofrece una critica feroz al capitalismo, la manipulacion de la informacion y la obsesion por la productividad y el consumo. En medio de esta lucha, el amor brilla como un faro de esperanza. ¿Existe la verdadera libertad o ya ha sido privatizada?

El nuevo libro de Giovanni Sartori, premio Príncipe de Asturias y autor de títulos como Homo videns, La democracia en treinta lecciones y Qué es la democracia. Con su lucidez habitual y su extrema claridad, Giovanni Sartori presenta una serie de preguntas en torno a diez temas determinantes de la actualidad: la crisis de la politica, los borrosos limites entre la libertad y la dictadura, el choque cultural y de civilizaciones entre el islam y el cristianismo, la guerra contra el terror, el sistema electoral perfecto, la ola de inmigracion y el derecho a la ciudadania, y la delicada cuestion de cuando la vida biologica se convierte en verdaderamente humana. Carrera hacia ningun lugar ofrece ideas estimulantes y recoge las desengañadas palabras de un gran sabio de la cultura politica en el lento declive al que Europa parece abocada, por no haber sabido salvaguardar los valores fundamentales de una sociedad realmente liberal-democratica.La critica dijo sobre Homo videns. La sociedad teledirigida:Este magnifico ensayo de Giovanni Sartori deberia ser de lectura obligatoria en todas las escuelas y universidades.Il Gazzetino Un ensayo polemico y exageradamente inteligente que reivindica la complejidad de la palabra frente a las videosimplezas, y el conocimiento frente a la mera informacion.Fernando Savater

his Time No Mistakes is a brilliant book... an intellectual, historical, political read with some strong themes... read it if you havent already.' Keir Starmer'Represents the beginning of a new, urgent debate.The era that defined economics since the end of the Cold War is now giving way to more activist governments and a very different kind of globalisation, necessitating new economic strategies. At last we are beginning to discuss what they might look like.' New StatesmanA book that could be a blueprint for a better future - if the Labour Party takes it seriously. Will Huttons passionate book shows how the right and left have gone wrong over the course of the last century and how we can remake a better Britain.Britains inability to invest in itself is at the heart of our problems. The malevolent thread linking the grievous errors of the last forty-five years is the attempt to create the utopia of free markets and a minimal state. The terrible consequences scar our country today.
