Story
Una grande trasformazione del mondo è avvenuta tra due date: il 9 novembre 1989, con la caduta del muro di Berlino, e il novembre 2019, quando scoppia a Wuhan l'emergenza Covid-19. Col crollo del muro di Berlino scompare il nemico, tutti si sentono fratelli e uguali. Si aprono le frontiere, crollano le istituzioni consolidate, inizia la globalizzazione. È un periodo di slancio impetuoso, pieno di speranza, di creatività, di utopia, ma il nuovo processo travolge il mondo consolidato, dagli stati-nazione alla famiglia, alla coppia.

Story
This is volume two—what Henry George called "the Solution to the Problem". This landmark treatise by the great economist Henry George was first published in 1879. George's work became the seminal analysis of the political economy which inspired most, if not all, the prominent thinkers of the Progressive Movement and many others of great influence: Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw, Friedrich Hayek, H. G. Wells, Clarence Darrow, and Leo Tolstoy, to name but a few. His analyses and proposals are referred to as "Georgism".

Overcoming Capitalism

Story
The book is a twenty-first century reworking of the approach to unionism. The United States has a dramatic history of workers organizing on the job. In the last seventy odd years, labor organizations have made peace with owners, and wages, various protections, and safety has diminished. All during an era that, despite its ups and downs, has been extremely profitable for the ownership class. Tom Wetzel provides a solution to that failure by showing how a democratic outcome can be built into the method of struggle for social change.

Ob Arm gegen Reich, Ost gegen West, Land gegen Stadt, Jung gegen Alt oder der anhaltende Streit über Identitäts-, Glaubens- oder Genderfragen: Die gesellschaftliche Spaltung erscheint als ein Signum unserer Zeit. Kaum ein Tag vergeht, an dem nicht in Talkshows und Zeitungen gefragt wird, was unsere Gesellschaft – noch – zusammenhält. Jürgen Kaube und André Kieserling gehen dieser Diagnose auf den Grund.

Story
Metrofix: The Combative Comeback of a Company Town shows what went right and what went wrong when General Electric moved most of its businesses out of Schenectady, New York. Once known as “The City that Lights and Hauls the World” because of its electrical and railroad industries, the Electric City enjoyed decades of dizzying, enviable success. Like other river towns upstate, it was a 20th-century economic powerhouse that fueled the wealth and reputation of the Empire State.

Story
Wie wollen und werden wir zukünftig arbeiten? Die tradierten Modelle funktionieren nicht mehr: Während die einen von ihrer Erwerbsarbeit kaum leben können, leiden viele Bereiche unter Arbeits- und Fachkräftemangel. Arbeit ist zudem eine Frage der Solidarität: Der Applaus für "systemrelevante Berufe" war von kurzer Dauer, die Care-Arbeit - vor allem von Frauen - hält das System am Laufen, wird aber weder angemessen entlohnt noch gesellschaftlich gewürdigt. Für die "Generation Z" zählt Work-Life-Balance mehr als die 40-Stunden-Woche.

Neste best-seller internacional, a jornalista Isabel Wilkerson, vencedora do prêmio Pulitzer, compara os Estados Unidos, a Índia e a Alemanha nazista, revelando como nosso mundo foi moldado pela noção de casta — e como suas hierarquias rígidas e arbitrárias nos dividem ainda hoje. Escrito de modo criativo e original, Casta fornece pistas importantes para entender a crise da democracia nas sociedades ocidentais e o que está por trás dos protestos antirracistas que assumiram dimensões globais após o assassinato de George Floyd.

Story
One New Haven summer evening in 2006, a retired grandfather was shot point-blank by a young stranger. A hasty police investigation culminated in innocent sixteen-year-old Bobby being sentenced to prison for thirty-eight years. New Haven native Nicholas Dawidoff returned home and spent eight years reporting the deeper story of this injustice, and what it reveals about the enduring legacies of social and economic disparity. In The Other Side of Prospect, he has produced an immersive portrait of a seminal community in an old American city now beset by division and gun violence.

Was macht Geld mit uns, und was machen wir mit Geld? Mareice Kaiser erzählt ihre eigene Geldgeschichte und trifft Menschen, mit denen sie über Geld spricht. Vom Pfandflaschensammler bis zum Multi-Millionär stellt sie ihnen Fragen: Wie viel Geld ist genug? Wie viel Geld macht glücklich? Wer sollte mehr Geld haben? Wer weniger?

Story
For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked.

Der Sozialstaat hat in den Jahrzehnten der Ökologie die Ökologie erfolgreich vermieden. Die Grenzen des Wachstums waren für die Verteidiger des Sozialen sozial uninteressant, Arbeitsplätze waren wichtiger als Nistplätze. Die Klimakrise hat dieses Desinteresse unterminiert. Zunehmend tauchen die Sozialwissenschaften im Feld der Nachhaltigkeitsforschung auf und Sozialpolitikerinnen wollen das Klima schützen. Der Essay "Soziales Klima" durchmisst das Feld der Sozialen Nachhaltigkeit mit den Mitteln einer ganzheitlichen, an Hegel und Parsons informierten Soziologie.
