The trickster god is a figure that appears in mythologies across the world, embodying deception, wit, and unpredictability. These deities challenge societal norms, defy authority, and blur the boundaries between good and evil. Often mischievous and cunning, they are not bound by conventional morality, instead operating through trickery, subversion, and humor to achieve their goals. While they may appear as troublemakers, their actions frequently lead to unexpected wisdom, transformation, or creation. Trickster gods serve as both disruptors and innovators. By breaking rules, they expose the rigidity of societal structures, forcing individuals and cultures to reconsider what they believe to be true. In some traditions, they are creators who shape the world through cunning rather than brute force. In others, they act as divine messengers, weaving chaos into cosmic order. Their duality—both destructive and constructive—makes them some of the most compelling figures in mythology. Loki, the infamous Norse trickster, is a master of deception, shifting alliances and playing both hero and villain within the same myths. Anansi, the spider god of West African folklore, uses intelligence and cleverness to outwit stronger opponents, often teaching moral lessons through his trickery. Hermes, the Greek god of thieves and messengers, personifies swift cunning, charming even the mightiest gods with his persuasive words. Native American traditions tell of Coyote, a shape-shifter whose antics bring both laughter and misfortune, illustrating the fine line between wisdom and folly. Across the Pacific, Maui, the Polynesian trickster, steals fire and slows the sun, securing gifts for humankind through his mischievous daring.Voir livre
The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation – and it is set to continue. With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here … and how do we break the cycle? In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy. For fans of Rashid Khalidi (The Hundred Years' War on Palestine), Michael J. Sandel (The Tyranny of Merit), Yuval Noah Harari (Sapiens), David Graeber (Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia), and Noam Chomsky (The Myth of American Idealism).

The ANC’s obsession with cadre deployment and total control has taken South Africa to the brink of destruction. After taking power, the ANC implemented its policy of cadre deployment. It sought command of all levers of power, from the Cabinet, through the civil service, down to municipal level. Despite the party recently lasing its majority, cadre deployment will ensure that the ANC maintains its iron grip on power and patronage, and it remains fused with the state. In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit exposes how Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki laid the foundation for complete ANC control of the state, how Jacob Zuma's ANC exploited it and why Cyril Ramaphosa is complicit in the destruction that followed. It is a searing critique of the ANC's desire for untrammelled power.Voir livre
