  A Right to Housing?

  A radical blueprint for universal housing meets an unflinching assessment of why we haven't won—from the bestselling author of Capital CityIn the fight for housing, we are caught between the world we know and the world we want. A Right to Housing? offers both a roadmap and a reckoning. Drawing from his own experiences of on-the-ground organizing, Stein lays out practical policies for enacting a right to shelter, a right to a home, and a right to the city itself.With unflinching honesty, he then explores why these visions continuously crash against the rocks of political reality. From the power of real estate capital to the inadequacy of our institutions, he reveals the forces blocking our path—and summons the complex feelings of a Left that has lost faith in the future.Written in the heady weeks surrounding Zohran Mamdani's historic election for New York City mayor, Stein frames the book around the stirring possibilities and structural constraints of a socialist administration in the financial center of a sputtering empire. He opens a space for action in the absence of hope. This is an examination of life and politics at the intersection of optimism and pessimism, nihilism and naivety, faith and doubt—an essential book for activists, planners, and anyone who refuses to accept the housing crisis as inevitable or immutable.

  A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy 
   
  Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil—a clear and easy choice—but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.

  The Perfect Traitor - The...

  Kim Philby was trusted by the men who knew him best. To his friends, colleagues, and the intelligence services he served, he seemed loyal, polished, and deeply committed to Britain’s cause. He moved with ease through the hidden world of espionage, earned the confidence of senior officers in MI6, built close ties with the CIA, and positioned himself at the very center of the West’s intelligence war against the Soviet Union. But behind that polished image was one of the most devastating betrayals in modern history.
   
  The Perfect Traitor uncovers the shocking story of the most dangerous Cambridge spy who fooled allies, misled friends, and quietly handed some of the West’s most sensitive secrets to Moscow for years. This book follows Philby’s rise from privileged Cambridge insider to powerful intelligence officer, showing how charm, intellect, and deception helped him escape suspicion while operation after operation collapsed around him. As lives were destroyed and missions failed, the truth remained hidden behind a carefully built mask.
   
  More than a story of spying, this is a portrait of loyalty twisted into betrayal, friendship poisoned by lies, and institutions too confident to see the danger in front of them. It explores the relationships Philby used, the trust he abused, and the Cold War system that allowed him to thrive for so long.  
   
  For readers who enjoy true espionage, Cold War history, and the psychological drama behind real life betrayal, The Perfect Traitor offers a gripping account of a man who deceived MI6, outwitted the CIA, and escaped into the Soviet Union while the world watched too late.

  Experience one of history’s most influential political texts in its definitive English edition. 
  This audiobook presents the authorized 1888 English translation of The Communist Manifesto, rendered by Samuel Moore and personally approved by Friedrich Engels. Originally published in 1848 during a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe, The Communist Manifesto (Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for the Communist League. 
  A cornerstone of modern political thought, this powerful work offers a compelling analysis of class struggle, economic systems, and the inevitable conflicts arising under capitalism. Rather than offering utopian speculation, Marx and Engels dissect the mechanisms of capitalist production and explain the material conditions that, they argue, will give rise to socialism and ultimately communism. 
  With its famous declaration that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” this manifesto has echoed through generations—shaping ideologies, inspiring movements, and fueling debates across the globe. 
  Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy—or simply curious about the roots of revolutionary theory—this essential classic continues to challenge, provoke, and inform.

  What framework can guide Christian engagement with major economic, social and political issues in public life in 21st century Europe?
  What other schools of thought exist apart from Catholic Social Teaching and Christian Democracy?
  
  Sallux has collaborated with the Jubilee Centre in Cambridge over several years to apply a new framework, agenda and strategy for Christian social reform, called Relational Thinking. It starts with the Christian belief that human beings are created by a relational God to form relational societies – the contemporary application of the ancient adage to 'love our neighbour as ourselves'.
  
  This book is a compilation of fi ve reports, two of which discuss the overall concept of Relational Thinking, while the others demonstrate how it can be applied to three contemporary issues: the need for monetary reform, the challenges of artifi cial intelligence and the ethics of remuneration. You can fi nd other examples of issues being analysed from a relational perspective, from business to city transformation.
  
  Deeply biblical, Relational Thinking builds bridges through the language of relationships to connect Christians with people of other faiths or none, and o er a fresh approach to Europe's greatest public policy challenges today.
