Promoting good citizenship - Exploring the Essence of Civic Responsibilities and Rights

James Bryce Bryce

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Promoting Good Citizenship," James Bryce, Viscount Bryce, delves into the essential ideals and responsibilities intrinsic to a functioning democracy. This work combines a rich historical narrative with a vigorous call to civic engagement, illustrating how good citizenship is vital not only to individual fulfillment but also to societal stability. Bryce employs a clear, impactful prose style, seamlessly weaving empirical evidence, philosophical reflection, and practical examples to advocate for active participation in public life and the significance of moral character within citizenship, particularly against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal changes. James Bryce, a prominent British statesman, historian, and diplomat, drew upon his extensive experiences in public service and his deep understanding of political philosophy to craft this resonant text. Having observed the challenges faced by democracies firsthand, especially in the post-Victorian era, Bryce was uniquely positioned to emphasize the pressing need for citizens to be informed and engaged. His belief in the power of education and moral development as cornerstones of civic duty is thoroughly reflected throughout the book. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the dynamics of citizenship and democratic governance. Bryce'Äôs articulate arguments not only serve as a historical testimony of his time but also resonate profoundly with contemporary discussions surrounding civic responsibility, making it an indispensable read for scholars, students, and active citizens alike.

State looters Again and again

Philippe Pascot

On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”

From Warlords to Statelords -...

Federica Saini Fasanotti,...

In Libya and Yemen armed groups play a central role. Pervading weak and contested institutions, they have gradually brought their webs of survival, profit and governance under the state umbrella: warlords have become the new lords of the state. Armed groups control most of the energy revenues, critical infrastructure, smuggling and illicit trafficking. Their leaders are multifaceted: they are simultaneously military commanders, tribal chiefs, politicians and businessmen.
Combining comparative analysis and case studies, this Report sheds light on the "economic face" of the armed groups and their power trajectories. How do armed groups build networks of profit and loyalty in the territories they hold? How does clientelism mark a continuity trend with former authoritarian regimes?

The Man Behind The Fascist Doctrine

Benito Mussolini

“It’s better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

"I am the most terrible animal that's ever existed."

"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice, it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday."

"It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better."

“I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look for moral guidance." (Mussolini)

The Doctrine of Fascism" is an essay attributed to Benito Mussolini. In truth, the first part of the essay, entitled "Idee Fondamentali", was written by the Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile, while only the second part is the work of Mussolini himself.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II (even murdering his own son by lethal injection) he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy. Here, for the first time, are the words of the great dictator himself in his twisted manifesto on the political movement he started and is still so feared to this very day. A rare audiobook adventure in politics, history, and outrage!
