Sinossi

Communism Soviet Reality explores the dichotomy between the theoretical ideals of communism and its practical, often authoritarian, implementation in the Soviet Union. It examines the economic framework, social controls, and global impact of the USSR, providing a critical evaluation of its historical trajectory. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as the contrast between the promise of a stateless, classless society and the realities of centralized planning and social controls, and the ultimate stagnation and collapse of the system due to departures from democratic governance and economic equality. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the theoretical foundations of communism and its adaptation by Soviet leaders. It then delves into the collectivization of agriculture, industrialization, and the command economy. The analysis culminates in an examination of the political and social controls wielded by the Communist Party, along with the implications of the Soviet model on the global stage during the Cold War. This approach provides a nuanced, evidence-based assessment of the Soviet experience, making it valuable for understanding totalitarian regimes and the challenges of implementing large-scale socio-political and economic change.

The US Supreme Court - A Very...

Linda Greenhouse

For thirty years, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse chronicled the activities of the U.S. Supreme Court and its justices as a correspondent for the New York Times. In this Very Short Introduction, she draws on her deep knowledge of the court's history and of its written and unwritten rules to show listeners how the Supreme Court really works. 
 
 
 
Greenhouse offers a fascinating institutional biography of a place and its people—men and women who exercise great power but whose names and faces are unrecognized by many Americans and whose work often appears cloaked in mystery. How do cases get to the Supreme Court? How do the justices go about deciding them? What special role does the chief justice play? What do the law clerks do? How does the court relate to the other branches of government? Greenhouse answers these questions by depicting the justices as they confront deep constitutional issues or wrestle with the meaning of confusing federal statutes. Throughout, the author examines many individual Supreme Court cases to illustrate points under discussion. 
 
 
 
The third edition of Greenhouse's Very Short Introduction tracks the changes in the Court's makeup over the past decade, including the landmark decisions of the Obama and Trump eras and the emergence of a conservative supermajority.

Vikings of the Irish Sea

David Griffiths

Vikings began raiding islands and monasteries on the Atlantic fringes of Europe in the 790s. The Irish Sea rapidly became one of their most productive hunting grounds. Attacks, battles and destruction were accompanied by trade – in slaves, silver and fine objects.
Vikings crossed and re-crossed the Irish Sea in search of land, wealth and power. Raids were followed by settlement, first in fortified camps, and later in towns, market enclaves and rural estates. Vikings came into contact with existing populations in Ireland, Britain and the Isle of Man. Viking paganism, demonstrated by spectacular burials, was gradually eclipsed by Christianity. By 1050, the process of assimilation was well under way, yet Viking influence and distinctiveness did not altogether disappear.
This updated edition of Vikings of the Irish Sea takes the sea as its starting point and looks afresh at the story of a supremely opportunistic people who left their mark in ways that still resonate today.

Unjust Debts - How Our...

Melissa B. Jacoby

Named one of the Best Summer Books in Economics by the Financial Times 
 
 
 
A groundbreaking look at the hidden role of bankruptcy in perpetuating inequality in America 
 
 
 
Bankruptcy is the busiest federal court in America. In theory, bankruptcy in America exists to cancel or restructure debts for people and companies that have way too many—a safety valve designed to provide a mechanism for restarting lives and businesses when things go wrong financially. 
 
 
 
Legal scholar Melissa B. Jacoby shows how bankruptcy has also become an escape hatch for powerful individuals, corporations, and governments, contributing in unseen and poorly understood ways to race, gender, and class inequality in America. When cities go bankrupt, police unions enjoy added leverage while police brutality victims are denied a seat at the negotiating table; the system is more forgiving of civil rights abuses than of the parking tickets disproportionately distributed in African American neighborhoods. Unjust Debts reveals the hidden mechanisms by which bankruptcy impacts everything from sexual harassment to health care, police violence to employment discrimination, and the opioid crisis to gun violence.
