  The Life of Reason, subtitled "the Phases of Human Progress", is a book published in five volumes from 1905 to 1906, by Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952). It consists of Reason in Common Sense, Reason in Society, Reason in Religion, Reason in Art, and Reason in Science. The work is considered to be the most complete expression of Santayana's moral philosophy [...]. Santayana's philosophy is strongly influenced by the materialism of Democritus and the refined ethics of Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the natural development of ideal ends. The Life of Reason is sometimes considered to be one of the most poetic and well-written works of philosophy in Western history. To supply but a single example, the oft-quoted aphorism of Santayana's, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," may be found on p. 284 of Reason in Common Sense.

  This work provides an in-depth and critical analysis of the interrelationships between neoliberalism, globalization, and the resurgence of nationalism in the 21st century. It explores the origins and theoretical foundations of neoliberalism, highlighting the contributions of influential theorists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, and examines its political rise through the administrations of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. The book investigates how economic globalization has expanded neoliberal policies, affecting both developed and developing economies, and analyzes the social and cultural consequences, including the exacerbation of inequality and the crisis of the welfare state. As neoliberal policies advanced, rising inequality and social dissatisfaction fueled the resurgence of nationalist and populist movements in various regions of the world. The book offers a detailed study of these movements, analyzing their causes and implications in the global context. Additionally, it discusses the tensions between globalist and nationalist ideologies, addressing issues such as protectionism, economic nationalism, and the challenges to neoliberal free trade. In the final chapter, the work proposes new global governance models aimed at reconciling national demands with global needs in a context of increasing ideological polarization. With a comprehensive and critical approach, this book is essential reading for academics, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the contemporary challenges shaping global politics and economics.

  Family of Spies - A Cold War...

  In the summer of 1950, federal agents arrived at a modest apartment in lower Manhattan and arrested an electrical engineer named Julius Rosenberg on charges of passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Six weeks later, they came for his wife Ethel — a seamstress and mother of two small boys aged seven and three — and took her from the courthouse door in circumstances that the FBI's own internal documents would later reveal had nothing to do with the strength of the evidence against her and everything to do with what the government needed her to be.
   
  Three years later, on the evening of June 19, 1953, the United States government executed them both.
   
  
   
  What happened in between — the fabricated testimony, the compromised judge, the private conversations between prosecutor and bench before a single witness had been sworn, the brother who sent his sister to the electric chair and later admitted he had lied — is one of the most documented, most contested, and most consequential miscarriages of justice in the history of American law.  
   
  
   
  Family of Spies is the complete, documented account of what the United States government did to Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, why it did it, and what the record it left behind demands of everyone who reads it. 
   
  The verdict was returned in 1951. The questions it failed to answer have never stopped accumulating.

  In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the story of how the neoliberal economic model came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric was elected president, vowing that "If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave." More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat. 
   
   
   
  In 1955, the United States State Department launched the "Chile Project" to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile's "Chicago Boys" implemented the purest neoliberal model for the next seventeen years, undertaking a package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a "Chilean miracle." But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo. 
   
   
   
  The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.
