  A #1 New York Times–bestselling author makes the case for a Green New Deal in this “keenly argued, well-researched, and impassioned” manifesto (Washington Post). 
   
  An instant bestseller, On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of “perpetual now,” to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of “climate barbarism,” this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. 
   
  An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal. 
   
  “Naomi Klein’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.” —Greta Thunberg, climate activist 
   
  “If I were a rich man, I’d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Klein’s ‘On Fire’ and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in America . . . Klein is a skilled writer.” —Jeff Goodell, New York Times 
   
  “Naomi Klein is the intellectual godmother of the Green New Deal—which just happens to be the most important idea in the world right now” —Bill McKibben, founder 350.org

  2020 marks seventy-five years since the end of World War II, yet even as the war slips from living memory, its legacies continue to influence current political and military thinking. This anthology will analyze these legacies for a number of countries and regions, including China, Russia, the United States, the Near East, and Germany, illustrating in detail how World War II is not merely a historical event, but a defining moment for current military and political thinking around the globe. This book will therefore be of interest for those interested in history, but also political and military decision makers, and followers of current political and military affairs.

  As of June 2021, 54% of Gen Z adults view capitalism negatively and over 41% have a positive view on socialism. A Participatory Economy is written for people who desire an equitable, ecological economy, but want to know what an alternative to capitalism could look like.A Participatory Economy presents a fascinating, new alternative to capitalism. It proposes and defends concrete answers to how all society's economic decisions can be made without resort to unaccountable and inhumane markets (capitalism) or central planning authorities (communism). It explains the viability of early socialism's vision of an economy in which the workers come together to decide among themselves what to produce and consume. At the same time, Hahnel proposes new features to this economic model including proposing how “reproductive labor” might be socially organized, how to plan investment and long-term development to maximize popular participation and efficiency, and finally, how a participatory economy might engage in international trade and investment without violating its fundamental principles in a world where economic development among nations has been historically unfair and unequal.

  The Muslim Brotherhood, or Ikhwan, has engaged in terrorism, assassinations, and anti-Western, anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence for almost a century-yet few Americans realize how powerful they really are. While we focus on al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah, it's actually the Muslim Brotherhood, the world's oldest, most influential, and most anti-American Islamist group, that has become the preeminent voice and power in the Muslim world.Hiding behind a cloak of respectability and expensive Western suits, the Muslim Brotherhood is installing vehemently anti-American governments and power structures throughout the Middle East and the world, as we sit back and cheer for the "democracy" of the Arab Spring.In his new book, The Brotherhood: America's Next Great Enemy, Erick Stakelbeck teaches us the frightening truth about this dangerous group, from his first-hand experiences investigating the Brotherhood for eleven years, interviewing its members and visiting its mosques and enclaves.In The Brotherhood, Stakelbeck:    Reveals how the Obama administration has put the Brotherhood on the threshold of power at every turn    Examines the alarming ramifications for America, Europe, and Israel of the Brotherhood's rapid rise    Warns against the West's-particularly the Left's-shortsighted, naïve, and deadly embrace of the Ikhwan and    Traces the group from its violent roots to its current strategy of "stealth jihad"With Middle Eastern unrest only growing hotter, and saber-rattling at the West only growing louder, the Muslim Brotherhood's growing global clout will remain on the front burner of American national security challenges. Revealing and disconcerting, The Brotherhood is a must-listen for every American hoping to remain in a free America.

  Nationalism Marxism and Modern...

  Timothy Snyder opens a new path in the understanding of modern nationalism and twentieth-century socialism by presenting the often overlooked life of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz, an important Polish thinker at the beginning of the twentieth century.During his brief life in Poland, Paris, and Vienna, Kelles-Krauz influenced or infuriated most of the leaders of the various socialist movements of Central Europe and France. His central ideas ultimately were not accepted by the socialist mainstream at the time of his death. However, a century later, we see that they anticipated late twentieth-century understanding on the importance of nationalism as a social force and the parameters of socialism in political theory and praxis.Kelles-Krauz was one of the only theoreticians of his age to advocate Jewish national rights as being equivalent to, for example, Polish national rights, and he correctly saw the struggle for national sovereignty as being central to future events in Europe. This was the first major monograph in English devoted to Kelles-Krauz.

  Journalist Ian Dunt reveals how leaving the European Union will damage Britain's politics, courts, businesses and consumers.  
  This fast-paced bestseller strips Britain's biggest issue of the gloss put on it by its cheerleaders and exposes it for what it is: a sham. 
  It is based on extensive research with experts across the law, trade and politics.  
  It maps the trade and legal cliff edge that Britain faces unless it secures a transitional deal with the European Union — and explains why the odds are stacked against the UK government in the negotiations and how the World Trade Organisation is not the solution to leaving the EU. 
  The author (who reads this audiobook) reveals how Brexit will: make the UK poorerleave industries like pharmaceuticals and finance struggling to operatethreatens to break up the United KingdomIn brief, it paints the real picture of a country about to undergo a sharp and self-inflicted isolation. In the run up to the EU referendum in 2016, the British cabinet minister Michael Gove said that the British public had had enough of experts. Ian Dunt disagrees. This is a book is for people who believe in evidence and reason.
