Story291
Was World War II really the 'Good War'? In the years since the declaration of peace in 1945, many myths have sprung up around the conflict in the victorious nations. In this audiobook, Peter Hitchens deconstructs the many fables which have become associated with the narrative of the 'Good War'. Whilst not criticising or doubting the need for war against Nazi Germany at some stage, Hitchens does query whether September 1939 was the right moment or the independence of Poland the right issue.

Story47
Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope 101 reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history. However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system has become nearly impossible to hide.

Story47
In his 1988 CBC Massey Lecture, Noam Chomsky inquires into the nature of the media in a political system where the population cannot be disciplined by force and thus must be subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control. Specific cases are illustrated in detail, using the U.S. media primarily but also media in other societies.

Finance plays a key role in the prosperity of the modern world—but it also brings grave dangers. We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management. Too often, though, we fail to address the greatest risk—the peril posed by our own behavior. Jon Danielsson argues that critical risk is generated from within, through the interactions of individuals and perpetuated by their beliefs, objectives, abilities, and prejudices.

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.

Story1
In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

One was a former chief of RAW, India's external intelligence agency, the other of ISI, its Pakistani counterpart. As they could not meet in their home countries, the conversations, guided by journalist Aditya Sinha, took place in cities like Istanbul, Bangkok and Kathmandu.

In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the billionaires club of Gates, Buffet, and Zuckerberg, as well as other modern empires whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced uniformity and monocultures, division and separation, monopolies and external control - over finance, food, energy, information, health care, and even relationships.

The future of global prosperity will not be shaped by idealism—it will be shaped by systems that work. In The Energy Illusion, Justin Lurie challenges one of the most widely accepted assumptions of our time: that oil and gas are on the verge of being replaced. Instead, he presents a clear, data-driven case for why these energy systems remain not only relevant, but essential to economic stability, industrial growth, and global energy security.

Carlo Masala warnt in diesem Hörbuch vor den Illusionen des Westens: der Illusion, die Globalisierung würde automatisch zur Verbreitung der Demokratie führen, der Illusion einer zunehmenden Verrechtlichung der internationalen Beziehungen, aber auch der Illusion, durch militärische Interventionen ließen sich Demokratie und Stabilität exportieren. Seit der Niederlage in Afghanistan und Putins Krieg gegen die Ukraine stehen die Grundlagen westlicher Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik auf dem Prüfstand.

Money is the most successful hallucination in human history. We eat it, breathe it, kill for it, and die without it—yet no one alive can say with certainty what it actually is. In The Invisible Leash, Boris Kriger pulls at the collar that economics has fastened around our necks and asks the questions polite society would rather avoid. Were we ever truly free before we invented currency? Is Adam Smith's "invisible hand" guiding us toward prosperity—or pushing us off a cliff?

Wo Logik und Empirie durch "alternative Fakten" ersetzt werden, weitet sich der Raum für ideologisch geprägtes Denken und es sinkt die Toleranz. Thilo Sarrazin beobachtet diese Tendenz in den letzten Jahren auf allen Seiten des politischen Spektrums und in vielen Medien. Sie passt nicht zum Geist der abendländischen Aufklärung und sie kann die Grundlagen unserer demokratischen und liberalen Gesellschaftsordnung infrage stellen. Sarrazin erläutert die Gefahren ideologischen Denkens für unsere Gesellschaft und unsere politische Kultur und beschreibt typische Irrwege.

Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about the manufactured scarcity.

Story1
In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality.
