The Imperfect Combination

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world grappling with inequality, environmental crises, and the erosion of democracy, this book offers a timely exploration of the relationship between capitalism and social democracy. It examines the choices faced by socialist movements as they navigate the complexities of operating within capitalist societies.

The book delves into the historical development of socialist strategies, tracing their evolution from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It argues that economic issues alone cannot justify a socialist program and that workers have had legitimate reasons to strive for the improvement of capitalism. As a result, the project of socialist transformation and the fight for economic advancement have been distinct historical phenomena.

The book also examines the inherent tensions between revolutionary and reformist approaches to socialism, exploring the quest for a middle ground and the challenges of balancing principles with the realities of power. It analyzes the significance of electoral politics for socialist movements, considering both the potential and pitfalls of engaging with the democratic process.

Furthermore, the book investigates the changing nature of labor and the challenges of organizing the precariat in an era of globalization and technological change. It highlights the resilience of social democracy, its enduring appeal, and its adaptability in the face of new challenges. The book also explores the role of social democracy in shaping the future of work, promoting equality, and building a more just and equitable society.

Drawing on historical examples and contemporary case studies, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between capitalism and social democracy. It provides valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, activists, and anyone seeking to navigate the challenges of building a more just and sustainable world.

Non-Toxic Masculinity -...

Zachary Wagner

Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
 
 
 
In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
 
 
 
Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

Save Our Souls - The True Story...

Matthew Pearl

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
From the bestselling author of The Taking of Jemima Boone, the unbelievable true story of a real-life Swiss Family Robinson (and their dog) who faced sharks, shipwreck, and betrayal. 
On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea. 
When the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore—on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. Hans appeared to have been there for a while and could quickly educate the Walkers and their crew on the island’s resources. But Hans had a secret . . . and as the Walker family gradually came to learn more, what seemed like a stroke of luck to have the mysterious man’s assistance became something ominous, something darker. 
Like David Grann and Stacy Schiff, Matthew Pearl unveils one of the most incredible yet little-known historical true stories, and the only known instance in history of an actual family of castaways. Save Our Souls asks us to consider who we might become if we found ourselves trapped on a deserted island.

The Political Thought of Xi Jinping

Olivia Cheung, Steve Tsang

Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given how swiftly and fundamentally China's relations with the rest of the world are changing under Xi's rule, it is imperative that we know what Xi Jinping Thought is, how it evolved, and why it is so important. 
 
 
 
In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively leader for life, has worked to ensure that "Xi Jinping Thought" becomes cemented as the new state ideology. Clearly inspired by the doctrine of "Mao Zedong Thought," which shaped the parameters of acceptable thinking for a quarter century, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" and serve the pathway to its fulfillment by 2050. Drawing from original research of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, Tsang and Cheung conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further examine and explain how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality.

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published and the work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.

The War that invented Indian...

Amit Schandillia

The 17th-century Jagat Seths are often referred to as India's Medicis for their wealth. Rich enough to sponsor the British win at Plassey, they were India's largest moneylenders of their time. The bull run came to an end with the execution of its patriarchs in 1763. With the single largest source of loans gone the British were soon scrambling for funds to pay for expensive military campaigns. One such campaign against Tipu Sultan proved back-breaking expensive and led to the establishment of India's first banking service 20 years after the Jagat Seths collapsed. It was called the Bank of Bengal!
