Politicians are consistently voted the least trusted professional group by the UK public. They've recently become embroiled in scandals concerning sexual harassment and expenses. Every year, they introduce new legislation that doesn't do what it sets out to achieve - often with terrible financial and human costs. But, with some notable exceptions, they are decent, hardworking people doing a hugely difficult and demanding job. In this searching examination of our political class, award-winning journalist Isabel Hardman tries to square this circle.

In 2016, an obscure British military contractor turned the world upside down. Funded by a billionaire on a crusade to start his own far-right insurgency, Cambridge Analytica combined psychological research with private Facebook data to make an invisible weapon with the power to change what voters perceived as real. The firm was created to launch the then unknown Steve Bannon's ideological assault on America. But as it honed its dark arts in elections from Trinidad to Nigeria, 24-year-old research director Christopher Wylie began to see what he and his colleagues were unleashing.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.

Um die Demokratie ist es schlecht bestellt. Nicht nur global, auch in Deutschland. Eine autoritär auftretende Linke verspielt die Errungenschaften, die sie selbst erkämpft hat; eine autoritäre Rechte möchte eine zweifelhafte Vergangenheit wiederaufleben lassen. Und beide Gruppierungen schließen Allianzen mit einem erstarkenden Islamismus, der von Parallelgesellschaften heraus in Schulen und Universitäten vordringt. Die wichtigste Frage der Gegenwart ist, wie sich Freiheit und Demokratie in dieser existenziellen Krise bewahren lassen.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed the "engineering of consent". During World War I, he was an integral part of the US Committee on Public Information, or CPI, a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise, and sell the war to the American people as one that would "Make the World Safe for Democracy".

In this eloquent and persuasive book, Neil Postman examines the deep and broad effects of television culture on the manner in which we conduct our public affairs, and how "entertainment values" have corrupted the very way we think. As politics, news, religion, education, and commerce are given less and less expression in the form of the printed word, they are rapidly being reshaped to suit the requirements of television.

Basado en experiencias reales de obra, conversaciones de contenedor, conflictos silenciosos, decisiones difíciles y pequeños gestos cotidianos, este libro explora la dimensión psicológica, emocional y ética de quienes construyen.

What is government really designed to do? Most people believe they understand how governments work. We vote, leaders are chosen, laws are made, and society is managed. It appears structured, transparent, and predictable. But beneath this surface lies a far more complex reality—one shaped by power, influence, negotiation, and human limitation.

Power to the People addresses growing voter apathy and disenchantment worldwide - that familiar sense that governments have become decoupled from their constituencies, that votes no longer count, and that politicians and institutions are too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global issues such as climate change and rising inequality. The book is structured into two halves, the first half diagnosing problems and the second half proposing solutions. Danny urges listeners to make a positive difference through engagement and active citizenry.
