Tecnoconservadorismo e o Brasil Paralelo
A leitura desse vigoroso trabalho, realizado por um grupo de jovens intelectuais de excelente formação acadêmica – e sem medo de expor suas ideias e reflexões – é uma viagem ao interior do Brasil mais profundo. É uma viagem pelos espaços onde foi gestada, fomentada e socializada a direita mais extrema que já tivemos em nossa história política. O livro se detém na inacreditável história da empresa Brasil Paralelo, sobretudo do site que é mantido por ela e da sua extensa produção de viés conservador – reacionário mesmo, acrescento eu – influenciado sobretudo pelo escritor Olavo de Carvalho, assim como seus alunos e alunas que são protagonistas de vídeos e de outras ...
Capitalist Realism
An analysis of the ways in which capitalism has presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system.
Henry's Demons
Narrated by both Henry Cockburn and his father Patrick, this is the extraordinary story of the eight years since Henry's descent into schizophrenia- years he has spent almost entirely in hospitals- and his family's struggle to help him recover.
Marx Selvagem
"O empreendimento de Jean Tible é ousado e original. Como promover um encontro entre a teoria marxiana, tendo em conta sua filosofia da história, com os povos ditos selvagens, que não se resignam ao triste papel de resíduos arcaicos de um processo histórico destinado ao "progresso" ? O presente trabalho não é um exercício de especulação teórica, mas responde a um contexto preciso em que etnias indígenas da América Latina assumem um protagonismo geopolítico, obrigando a esquerda tradicional do continente a rever seus dogmas sobre o estatuto da produção, do desenvolvimento, do próprio Estado. Ao traçar uma ponte entre a sociedade sem Estado vislumbrada por Marx e a sociedade ...
The Age of Unproductive Capital
This book offers a very direct and readable analysis of the main challenges facing our societies today, such as reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and in particular mobilizing our financial resources which linger in tax havens and feed speculation, instead of funding the sustainable development we need. It precisely considers the most important factors, including corporate governance, financialization, capturing political power, and the limits to adequate national economic policies in a world dominated by global finance. The book’s presentation of how sensible and productive policies are dismantled will be highly interesting for the international community, whether in the academic, corporate or government spheres.
Antifa
The National Bestseller “Focused and persuasive... Bray’s book is many things: the first English-language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and present.”—THE NEW YORKER As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism — also known as “antifa.” Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and activist Mark Bray provides a detailed survey of the full history of anti-fascism from its origins to the present d...
The Global Minotaur
In this remarkable and provocative book, Yanis Varoufakis explodes the myth that financialisation, ineffectual regulation of banks, greed and globalisation were the root causes of the global economic crisis. Rather, they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise which can be traced all the way back to the Great Crash of 1929, then on through to the 1970s: the time when a 'Global Minotaur' was born. Just as the Athenians maintained a steady flow of tributes to the Cretan beast, so the 'rest of the world' began sending incredible amounts of capital to America and Wall Street. Thus, the Global Minotaur became the 'engine' that pulled the world economy from the early 1980s to 2008. Today's crisis in...
Building the Commune
Latin America’s experiments in direct democracy Since 2011, a wave of popular uprisings has swept the globe, taking shape in the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain, and the anti-austerity protests in Greece. The demands have been varied, but have expressed a consistent commitment to the ideals of radical democracy. Similar experiments began appearing across Latin America twenty-five years ago, just as the left fell into decline in Europe. In Venezuela, poor barrio residents arose in a mass rebellion against neoliberalism, ushering in a government that institutionalized the communes already forming organically. In Building the Commune, George Ciccariello-Maher travels through these radical experiments, speaking to a broad range of community members, workers, students and government officials. Assessing the projects’ successes and failures, Building the Commune provides lessons and inspiration for the radical movements of today.
Four Futures
"It is easier to imagine the end of the world," the theorist Fredric Jameson has remarked, "than to imagine the end of capitalism." Jacobin Editor Peter Frase argues that technological advancements and environmental threats will inevitably push our society beyond capitalism, and Four Futures imagines just how this might look. Extrapolating possible futures from current changes the world is now experiencing, and drawing upon speculative fictions to illustrate how these futures might be realized, Four Futures examines communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism-or in other words, the socialisms we may reach if a resurgent Left is successful and the barbarisms we may be consigned to if those movements fail.
The Decameron
One Hundred Tales, One Great Masterpiece “To have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others. ” - Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron The Black Death is upon Europe and the beautiful city of Florence. How can you escape it one must wonder? The 14th-century Italian writer came up with a solution in his masterpiece, The Decameron: story-telling. He gathered seven young women and three young men in a remote villa outside the city with one sole purpose: to tell 100 unique stories about humanity’s great fortunes and misfortunes.
