Story
Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation—even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders almost always act in their own predictable and rational ways.

Story
William Shakespeare understood power: what it is, how it works, how it is gained, and how it is lost. In The Hollow Crown, Eliot A. Cohen reveals how the battling princes of Henry IV and scheming senators of Julius Caesar can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court—with intrigue and conflict rivaling those on the Globe's stage—as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity.

"The Communist Manifesto," co-authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a profound critique of capitalism and a blueprint for a new social order, communism. It argues that the proletariat, or working class, will lead the revolution against the capitalist system's inherent class inequalities. Spanning four sections, the manifesto traces class struggles, critiques the bourgeoisie, reviews socialist and communist literature, and examines the position of communists relative to opposition parties.

È ora che qualcuno lo dica: "Grazie, Occidente!". Ma sono due parole che non incontrerete altrove. Tutto il bene che abbiamo fatto, a noi stessi e agli altri, è il supremo tabù di questa epoca. Nelle scuole non si insegna più la storia vera del progresso, che è nato a casa nostra e dove ha avuto un ruolo anche l'Italia. Invece nelle piazze e nella cultura contemporanea siamo sotto un processo permanente. È ora di ribellarsi, in nome della verità. Cinesi o indiani, brasiliani o africani, il mondo è popolato da miliardi di persone che devono la loro stessa esistenza... a noi.

Als Leser werden Sie gefesselt sein, vom ersten Kapitel an. Sie werden sich bestätigt fühlen – oder Sie werden fassungslos sein, weil Sie wach werden und Ihr inneres Schaf den Wolf in sich entdeckt."

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.
