  Money Parties and Democracy -...

  Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron. However, there have been numerous scandals and controversies involving political finance, which pose a serious challenge to fundamental democratic principles.Matteo Bonotti and Zim Nwokora analyze the nature of these democratic risks and how they differ across various models of political finance. They argue that political finance rules ought to counterbalance the weaknesses of the party system they are being used alongside. To do so, political finance rules and party systems should be assessed together, in terms of three distinctive normative dimensions—collegiality, systemic voice, and systemic accountability—which capture what parties, at their best, can contribute to democratic politics. Money, Parties, and Democracy sets out a framework for evaluating political finance systems so that they can be designed or reformed to better support good governance.

  5 Reasons Why You Feel Empty...

  Emotional numbness is a silent struggle that many people experience but rarely talk about. It’s that feeling of emptiness, the sense that something is missing even when life seems fine on the surface. You go through the motions of daily life, yet deep inside, there’s a void you can’t quite explain. Some people describe it as feeling detached, as if they’re watching their life from the outside without truly participating in it. Others might feel nothing at all, unable to connect with joy, sadness, or even excitement. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.  
    
  In a world that constantly demands productivity and success, emotional well-being often takes a back seat. Many people dismiss their feelings, assuming that if they push through, things will eventually get better. But ignoring emotional numbness doesn’t make it go away. Instead, it lingers, slowly affecting relationships, motivation, and overall quality of life. This book was written to help you understand why you feel this way and, more importantly, how to regain the sense of connection and fulfillment that may seem lost.  
    
  Understanding emotional numbness requires looking beyond the surface. It’s not just about feeling “off” or disconnected—it often stems from deeper issues like unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or a lack of purpose. Some people experience it after prolonged emotional suppression, while others might feel empty due to unfulfilled needs or a sense of isolation. The reasons can vary, but the result is the same: a life that feels dull, unfulfilling, and distant. The good news is that emotional numbness is not permanent. With the right awareness and strategies, you can break free from this state and start experiencing life more fully.
