Title: The Incarcerations Author: Alpa Shah Narrator: Tania Rodrigues Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 37 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'A gripping and rigorous crime story about the murder of a once thriving democracy, exposing an arsenal of lethal weapons, some wielded on the streets, others in the courts and press' NAOMI KLEIN ‘Essential reading' YANIS VAROUFAKIS The world’s largest democracy is facing the greatest challenge since the end of British colonial rule in 1947. The Incarcerations pulls back the curtain on Indian democracy to tell the remarkable and chilling story of the Bhima Koregaon case, in which 16 human rights defenders (the BK-16) – professors, lawyers, journalists, poets – have been imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, as Maoist terrorists. Alpa Shah unravels how these alleged terrorists were charged with inciting violence at a public commemoration in 2018, accused of waging a war against the Indian state, and plotting to kill the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Expertly leading us through the case, Shah exposes some of the world’s most shocking revelations of cyber warfare research, which show not only hacking of emails and mobile phones of the BK-16, but also implantation of the electronic evidence that was used to incarcerate them. Through the life histories of the BK-16, Shah dives deep into the issues they fought for and tells the story of India’s three main minorities – Adivasi, Dalits and Muslims – and what the search for democracy entails for them. Essential and urgent, The Incarcerations reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India, as for the first time in the nation’s history there is a multi-pronged, coordinated attack on key defenders of various pillars of democracy. In so doing, Shah shows that democracy today must be not only about protecting freedom of expression and democratic institutions, but also about supporting and safeguarding the social movements that question our global inequalities. ‘A chilling, meticulously documented account of the arrest and ongoing trial of some of India’s most exceptional citizens. The Incarcerations shows us that the BK-16 pose a danger to the current Hindu Nationalist regime not for what they have done, but for daring to have a different dream about what kind of country India should be. Alpa Shah’s book is about the criminalisation and incarceration of dissent itself.

Title: Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth Author: Ingrid Robeyns Narrator: Rachel Bavidge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this astonishing, eye-opening intervention, world-leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control. In moral, political, economic, social, environmental and psychological terms, she shows, extreme wealth is not only unjustifiable but harmful to us all - the rich included. In place of our current system, Robeyns offers a breathtakingly clear alternative: limitarianism. The answer to so many of the problems posed by neoliberal capitalism - and the opportunity for a vastly better world - lies in placing a hard limit on the wealth that any one person can accumulate. Because no-one should have more than ten million, and no one needs more than one million.

Title: Infectious Generosity: The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading Author: Chris Anderson Narrator: Chris Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 58 minutes Release date: January 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Perhaps the simplest, most powerful moral question you can ask of your life is: 'Am I a net giver, or a net taker?' As head of TED for the past 20 years, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world's most significant thinkers sharing their boldest ideas across every imaginable discipline. Yet there's a single theme that stands out in his mind as the essential connecting thread: generosity. It may seem simple, but generosity has played a key role in building the tools, knowledge, and institutions that have allowed civilisation to flourish. Now, in our unsettled modern world, beset by disruption and division, Anderson believes our collective future depends on reconnecting to this vital human trait. In this profound and inspiring book, Anderson shows how the same technologies that have been a catalyst for negativity can be turned into an exponential force for good - to create chain reactions of generous behaviour. The potential lies in every one of us, right now - for generosity, it turns out, is wired deeply inside you. Gifts of time, talent, connection and kindness have always been part of what it is to be a good human. What's different today, Anderson reveals, is the power each of us has - if we'd only stop to think about it - to catalyse world-changing, self-replicating impact. The people, companies, investors and organisations who understand this, who prioritise generosity - who give more to the world than they take from it - are the ones that will own the future. And they'll be happier as a result.

For those discouraged and exhausted by the bitterness and rage in our politics, Michael Wear offers a new paradigm of political involvement rooted in the teachings of Jesus and drawing insights from Dallas Willard's approach to spiritual formation. When political division shows up not only on the campaign trail but also at our dinner tables, we wonder: Can we be part of a better way? The Spirit of Our Politics says 'yes,' offering a distinctly Christian approach to politics that results in healing rather than division, kindness rather than hatred, and hope rather than despair. In this profound and hope-filled book, Michael Wear--a leading thinker and practitioner at the intersection of faith and politics--applies insights taken from the work of Dallas Willard to argue that by focusing on having the 'right' politics, we lose sight of the kind of people we are becoming, to destructive results. This paradigm-shifting book reveals: - Why we need to reframe how we view our political involvement as Christians - How as Christians we can reorient our politics for the good of others - The crucial connection between discipleship to Jesus and political involvement - A different way of talking about politics that is edifying, not stomach-turning - How to navigate political strife in churches and small groups - Why who we are in our political life is not quarantined from who we are in 'real life' - Why gentleness is entirely possible in our political discourse   The Spirit of Our Politics is for readers of any political perspective who long for a new way to think about and engage in politics. That new approach begins with a simple question: What kind of person would I like to be?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676018Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676018 to listen full audiobooks.

Seldom do incredibly titled books earn their titles. Matthew R. Morris earns this classic title with a classic book about our insides.” —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy Startlingly honest, bracing personal essays from a perceptive educator that bring us into the world of Black masculinity, hip-hop culture, and learning. This is an examination of the parts that construct my Black character; from how public schooling shapes our ideas about ourselves to how hip-hop and sports are simultaneously the conduit for both Black abundance and Black boundaries. This book is a meditation on the influences that have shaped Black boys like me. What does it mean to be a young Black man with an immigrant father and a white mother, teaching in a school system that historically has held an exclusionary definition of success? In eight illuminating essays, Matthew R. Morris grapples with this question, and others related to identity and perception. After graduating high school in Scarborough, Morris spent four years in the U.S. on multiple football scholarships and, having spent that time in the States experiencing “the Mecca of hip hop and Black culture,” returned home with a newfound perspective. Now an elementary school teacher himself in Toronto, Morris explores the tension between his consumption of Black culture as a child, his teenage performances of the ideas and values of the culture that often betrayed his identity, and the ways society and the people guiding him—his parents, coaches, and teachers—received those performances. What emerges is a painful journey toward transcending performance altogether, toward true knowledge of the self. With the wide-reaching scope of Desmond Cole’s The Skin We’re In and the introspective snapshot of life in Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Black Boys Like Me is an unflinching debut that invites readers to create braver spaces and engage in crucial conversations around race and belonging.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681470Tue, 16 Jan 2024 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681470 to listen full audiobooks.

After graduating high school in Scarborough, Morris spent four years in the U.S. on multiple football scholarships and, having spent that time in the States experiencing “the Mecca of hip hop and Black culture,” returned home with a newfound perspective. Now an elementary school teacher himself in Toronto, Morris explores the tension between his consumption of Black culture as a child, his teenage performances of the ideas and values of the culture that often betrayed his identity, and the ways society and the people guiding him—his parents, coaches, and teachers—received those performances. What emerges is a painful journey toward transcending performance altogether, toward true knowledge of the self. With the wide-reaching scope of Desmond Cole’s The Skin We’re In and the introspective snapshot of life in Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Black Boys Like Me is an unflinching debut that invites readers to create braver spaces and engage in crucial conversations around race and belonging.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/sheridan-s-secret-mission-how-the-south-won-the-war-after-the-civil-war-by-robert-cwiklik--65205102https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682951 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Sheridan’s Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War Author: Robert Cwiklik Narrator: Rick Adamson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 34 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An impeccably researched, character-driven narrative history recounting the fascinating late-Reconstruction Era mission of General Philip Sheridan, a Union hero dispatched to the South 10 years after the Civil War to protect the rights of newly freed black men, who were under siege by violent paramilitary groups like the White league intent on erasing their postwar gains. On New Year’s Eve 1874, Sheridan made a splash on his arrival in New Orleans. Accompanied by family and friends, he claimed to be on vacation and bound for Cuba. In reality, he was in the Crescent City on behalf of President Ulysses S. Grant, who had asked him to undertake a vital mission: to investigate the activities of violent vigilante groups menacing the rights of former slaves, or freedmen. Grant had been alarmed as Southern white paramilitaries staged a flurry of attacks against freedmen in recent months to neutralize their political clout. The citizenship and voting rights of former slaves were among the most consequential fruits of the Union's Civil War victory. Republicans were now reckoning with the possibility that outlaw gangs like the White League, made up mostly of former Confederate soldiers and winked at by Democratic officials, could turn back the clock and consign freedmen to an existence little better than slavery. A few days after Sheridan's arrival in New Orleans, Democrats, apparently assisted by White League operatives, seized control of the state House of Representatives through trickery and violence. After federal soldiers stationed nearby ushered several Democratic claimants to office out of the House chamber, at the request of the Republican governor, Sheridan publicly denounced the “spirit of defiance to all lawful authority” in Louisiana and threatened to round up White League leaders to face trial before military tribunals. Many Northern newspapers condemned Sheridan's actions and those of the federal troops; some called for Grant's impeachment. This dramatic clash lies at the heart of Robert Cwiklik’s revelatory new history, which spans a series of tragic episodes of racial terror in the post-Civil War South that contributed to the overthrow of Reconstruction Era protections for black rights. Deeply researched and replete with startling details, the book sheds an essential light on the history of racial oppression in America and resonates powerfully with our contemporary ''post-racial'' condition.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682951Tue, 16 Jan 2024 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682951 to listen full audiobooks.

As debates on immigration have reached fever pitch, so has political and media fearmongering. But what are the facts behind the headlines? Drawing on three decades of research, migration expert Hein de Haas destroys the myths that politicians, interest groups, and media spread about immigration. He reveals:    - Global migration is not at an all-time high  - Climate change will not lead to mass migration  - Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not workers  - Border restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration  Ultimately, de Haas shows migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a solution to a problem, but as it really is.   This book is an essential guide to one of our most divisive political issues, showing how we can move beyond today’s deeply polarized debate and make migration work better for everyone.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672538Tue, 19 Dec 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672538 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos Author: Mark Chiusano Narrator: André Santana Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 13 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From the dogged Long Island reporter who has been on his trail since 2019, the bizarre, page-turning, and frankly hysterical story of America’s most outrageous grifter—former US Representative George Santos. America is used to larger-than-life politicians, from Telfon Don to AOC and from Dark Brandon to MTG. The political arena has been injected with an unmistakable edge of celebrity flair and tabloid intrigue. Yet in 2022, a new player on the national scene outshone them all. George Anthony Devolder Santos, and his revolving door of pseudonyms, shed glaring new light on how far we’d let our politics slide as his claimed resume was shred to bits in the wake of a longshot run to office from New York’s 3rd Congressional District. From Wall Street gigs to an amateur volleyball career, from embellished claims of Jewish heritage to a fabricated 9/11 story involving his mother’s death, Santos’s legend continued to grow as his web of lies evaporated in real time. And the only thing wilder than this charlatan embedding himself in the warm, consequence-evading arms of our nation’s capital was the Queens con artist’s refusal to bow his head in shame. Newsday alum and PEN/Hemingway honoree Mark Chiusano tells the full (well, as full as can be given the subject) story of Santos here for the first time. From humble years spent in Brazil and glamorous nights on the west side of Manhattan, to the stunning small-time scams employed to ease his slippery climb up the American society ladder, The Fabulist tells a story you’ll have to read for yourself to believe…and even then, it’s George Santos, so who’s to say for sure.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681623Tue, 28 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681623 to listen full audiobooks.

The ongoing criminal trials of Donald Trump are also a trial for the nation he once led. We are undergoing a stress test of American democracy, the rule of law, and the very notion of a shared political reality. Can we achieve accountability for premeditated assaults on democracy and what forms should accountability take? In Network of Lies, New York Times bestselling author Brian Stelter answers these questions by weaving together private texts, unpublished emails, depositions, and other primary sources to tell the chilling story of Trump’s alleged conspiracy to steal the 2020 election, and the right-wing media’s mission to put him back in office in 2024. Trump couldn’t have convinced millions of Americans of the Big Lie without Fox News. From the moment Joe Biden became president-elect in 2020, Fox hosts fueled a fire of misinformation and violence by spreading Trump’s tales of election fraud and suppressing the truth. Come January, Sean Hannity insisted Trump needed to stop listening to “crazy people” who swore he could stay in power, but it was too late—thousands of Trump’s deluded followers had stormed the Capitol and Trump operatives had breached Dominion Voting Systems’ voting machines in Georgia. Now, the 2020 lies are at the center of numerous indictments and his reelection campaign, but Trump is not the only one under fire. The once-untouchable Rupert Murdoch has been held accountable. Dominion’s legal war, chronicled in-depth for the first time here, revealed that the ninety-two-year-old Fox chairman knew Trump’s lies were dangerous but he allowed the lies to fill Fox’s airwaves because, as his “pain sponge” Suzanne Scott admitted, telling the truth was “bad for business.” Network of Lies goes inside the chat rooms, board rooms, and court rooms where the pro-Trump media’s greed and selfishness were exposed. Featuring Stelter’s “thorough and damning” (The New York Times) investigative prowess and direct quotations so shocking they read like fiction, Network of Lies is the definitive origin story of Trump’s attempt to tear down the guardrails of American democracy, and an urgent plea to learn from past mistakes as we head into 2024’s pivotal presidential election.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683650Tue, 14 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683650 to listen full audiobooks.

Handed back to China in 1997 after 156 years of British rule, it was meant to be a carve-out between hostile systems: a bridge between communism and capitalism, authoritarianism and liberal democracy. “One country, two systems” kept its media free, its courts independent and its protests boisterous, designed also to convince Taiwan of a peaceful solution to Beijing’s desire for reunification. Yet this formulation excluded Hong Kong’s own people, their future negotiated by political titans in faraway capitals. In 2019, an ill-conceived law spear-headed by a sycophantic leader pushed millions to take to the streets in one of the most enduring protest movements the world has ever seen. Xi Jinping responded with a draconian national security law that sought not only to end the demonstrations but quash the “problem” of Hong Kongers’ identity and desire for freedom. Reverend Chu, who believed Hong Kong had to carry the spirit of students at Tiananmen Square, saw his silver-haired comrades who birthed the city’s modern pro-democracy movement handcuffed and taken from their homes. Tommy, an art student radicalized into throwing Molotov cocktails, watched “braves” like him brutalized by police before his own arrest prompted him to flee. Finn epitomized the decentralized nature of the movement and its internet-fueled victories, but online anonymity couldn’t stop his life from unravelling. Gwyneth could predict her eventual fate when she chose to give up her career as a journalist to stand for election as an opposition candidate, and did it anyway. In Among the Braves, Shibani Mahtani and Timothy McLaughlin tell the story of Hong Kong’s past, and what the sacrifices of its people mean for global democracy’s shaky foundation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672547Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672547 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Founding Partisans: Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson, Adams and the Brawling Birth of American Politics Author: H. W. Brands Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 29 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H.W. Brands, a revelatory history of the shocking emergence of vicious political division at the birth of the United States. To the framers of the Constitution, political parties were a fatal threat to republican virtues. They had suffered the consequences of partisan politics in Britain before the American Revolution, and they wanted nothing similar for America. Yet parties emerged even before the Constitution was ratified, and they took firmer root in the following decade. In Founding Partisans, master historian H. W. Brands has crafted a fresh and lively narrative of the early years of the republic as the Founding Fathers fought one another with competing visions of what our nation would be. The first party, the Federalists, formed around Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and their efforts to overthrow the Articles of Confederation and make the federal government more robust. Their opponents organized as the Antifederalists, who feared the corruption and encroachments on liberty that a strong central government would surely bring. The Antifederalists lost but regrouped under the new Constitution as the Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, whose bruising contest against Federalist John Adams marked the climax of this turbulent chapter of American political history.  The country’s first years unfolded in a contentious spiral of ugly elections and blatant violations of the Constitution. Still, peaceful transfers of power continued, and the nascent country made its way towards global dominance, against all odds. Founding Partisans is a powerful reminder that fierce partisanship is a problem as old as the republic.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671583Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671583 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America Author: Donald W. Burnes, Kevin F. Adler Narrator: Kevin F. Adler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: How to end homelessness in America: a must-read guide to understanding housing instability, supporting our unhoused neighbors, and reclaiming our humanity. A deeply humanizing analysis that will change the way you think about poverty and homelessness—for the socially engaged reader of Isabel Wilkerson's Caste and Matthew Desmond's Evicted. Think about the last time that you saw or interacted with an unhoused person. What did you do? What did you say? Did you offer money or a smile, or did you avert your gaze? When We Walk By takes an urgent look at homelessness in America, showing us what we lose—in ourselves and as a society—when we choose to walk past and ignore our neighbors in shelters, insecure housing, or on the streets. And it brilliantly shows what we stand to gain when we embrace our humanity and move toward evidence-based people-first, community-driven solutions, offering social analysis, economic and political histories, and the real stories of unhoused people. Authors Kevin F. Adler and Donald W. Burnes, with Amanda Banh and Andrijana Bilbija, recast chronic homelessness in the U.S. as a byproduct of twin crises: our social services systems are failing, and so is our humanity. Readers will learn: - Why our brains have been trained to overlook our unhoused neighbors - The social, economic, and political forces that shape myths like “all homeless people are addicts” and “they’d have a house if they got a job” - What conservative economics gets wrong about housing insecurity - What relational poverty is, and how to shift away from “us versus them” thinking - That for many Americans, housing insecurity is just one missed paycheck away - Who “the homeless” really are—and why that might surprise you - What you can do to help, starting today A necessary, deeply humanizing read that goes beyond theory and policy analysis to offer engaged solutions with compassion and heart, When We Walk By is a must-read for anyone who cares about homelessness, housing solutions, and their own humanity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682941Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682941 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP Author: Patrick Ruffini Narrator: Stephen Graybill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening, “must-read” (Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire) about the future of the Republican party as they unite working-class voters in a multi-racial, cross-generational populist coalition. Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election shocked the world. Yet his defeat in 2020 may have been even more surprising: he received 12 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and his unexpectedly diverse coalition included millions of nonwhite voters, a rarity for the modern Republican party. In 2020, Trump defied expectations and few journalists, strategists, or politicians could explain why Trump had nearly won reelection. Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and one of the country’s leading experts on political targeting, technology, and demography, has the answers—and the explanation may surprise you. For all his apparent divisiveness, Trump assembled the most diverse Republican presidential coalition in history and rode political trends that will prove significant for decades to come. The shift is profound: seven in ten American voters belong to groups that have shifted right in the last two presidential elections, while under three in ten whites with a college degree belong to votes groups that are trending left. Together, this super-majority of right-trending voters forms a colorblind, populist coalition, largely united by its working-class roots, moderate to conservative views on policy, strong religious beliefs, and indifference to or outright rejection of the identity politics practice by the left. Not all these voters are Republican, and in certain corners of the coalition, only a small minority are. But recent elections are pointing us towards a future where party allegiances have been utterly upended. The Party of the People demonstrates this data. Ruffini was as wrong as every pollster in 2016 and spent the intervening years figuring out why and developing better methods of analyzing voters in the digital age. Using robust data, he shifts you away from the complacent, widespread narrative that the Republican party is a party of white, rural voters. It is, but more importantly for its longevity, it’s a party of non-college-educated voters. And as fewer voters attend college, the Republican party shows no signs of stagnation. With rich data and clear analysis, Party of the People is a “deeply researched book” (Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report) that explains the present and future of the Republican party and American elections.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681624Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681624 to listen full audiobooks.

Forced to the countryside with other young Chinese for re-education after high school, she later escaped communism and found freedom and new a life in America. But more than 30 years later, Xi disturbingly sees signs of the same Cultural Marxism that ravaged her birth country of China threatening to destroy the America she now calls home. ​This is her dire warning to the United States. Xi compellingly tells the story of two Cultural Revolutions: one driven by Mao and the Chinese Communist Party during her childhood and the one unfolding in today’s America from the progressive left. With captivating personal stories and extensive historic research, Xi reveals the stunning similarities of these two revolutions. This fascinating book shows readers that both revolutions:   - Use Marxist tactics of division, indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion and violence. - Aim to destroy the foundation of the traditional culture to replace it with Marxist ideologies. - Weaponize youth, using them as their means to an end. - Share the same goal of achieving absolute power at the expense of the people. - Lead to the same ending: loss of freedom and totalitarian rule. Readers will be captivated by the riveting personal story of a Chinese immigrant to the United States who overcame fear and reluctance to get involved in the movement to save America. Her political activism begins with a school board speech in 2021 against Critical Race Theory in Loudoun County, Virginia that unexpectedly goes viral and ignites national media attention. Xi now devotes her life to educating the American public on the shocking parallels between these two revolutions. Because only when Americans understand what is really happening will they rise up and resist the communist takeover of America.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/670974Tue, 31 Oct 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/670974 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country Author: Adam Kinzinger, Michael D'antonio Narrator: Adam Kinzinger, Maria Shriver Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Adam Kinzinger captures one of the most transformative periods in recent political history in a riveting, personal account from inside Congress, including the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol and his vote to impeach Donald Trump. On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party. In Renegade, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes readers inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party. In Renegade, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes readers inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity. Raw, provocative, and clear-eyed, Renegade captures one of the most transformative periods in recent American history.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-music-business-11th-edition-by-donald-s-passman--65205204https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673818 to listen full audiobooks.

Journalist Malaika Jabali debunks myths, centers forgotten socialists of color who have shaped our world, and shows socialism is not all Marx and Bernie Bros—it can be pretty sexy. We’ve all dated someone who took control of the relationship—you know, someone who makes you feel like you’re unhappy because you’re just not putting in the work, or it’s all in your head. But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? It’s rough out there! Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG. She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue—from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy—with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isn’t the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that you’ve heard about.  With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world that’s safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isn’t a utopian dream – it’s within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future.   Fun, smart, and inspiring, It’s Not You It’s Capitalism is the hottest new relationship in your life!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675922Tue, 24 Oct 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675922 to listen full audiobooks.

For nearly a century, the Rikers Island jail complex has stood on a 413-acre manmade island in the East River of New York. Today it is the largest correctional facility in the city, housing eight active jails and thousands of incarcerated individuals who have not yet been tried. It is also one of the most controversial and notorious jails in America. Which is why, when mayor Bill de Blasio announced in 2017 that Rikers would be closed within the next decade, replaced with four newly designed jails located within the city boroughs, the surface reaction seemed largely positive. Many were enthusiastic, including Eva Fedderly, a journalist focused on the intersections of social justice and design, who was covering the closure and its impact for Architectural Digest. But as Fedderly dug deeper and spoke to more people involved, she discovered that the consensus was hardly universal. Among architects tasked with redesigns that reconcile profits and progress, the members of law enforcement working to stop incarceration cycles in community hot spots, the reformers and abolitionists calling for change, and, most wrenchingly, the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people whose lives will be most affected, some agreed that closing Rikers was a step in the right direction, but many were quick to point out that Rikers was being replaced, not removed. On one point, however, there was firm agreement: whatever the outcome, the world would be watching. Part on-the-ground reporting, part deep social and architectural history, These Walls is an eye-opening, “insightful…bracing look at how the nation’s jails—and the nation itself—ought to be reformed” (Kirkus Reviews) and a challenge to our long-held beliefs about what constitutes power and justice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678444Tue, 24 Oct 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678444 to listen full audiobooks.

In this illuminating and “scoop-rich biography…the tell-all tales rush forth” (Los Angeles Times) offering a “penetrating analysis of the ongoing Republican civil war through the eyes of one of its last embattled centrists” (Publishers Weekly). Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection. Despite these moments of public courage, Romney has shared very little about what he’s witnessed behind the scenes over his three decades in politics—in GOP cloakrooms and caucus lunches, in his private meetings with Donald Trump and his family, in his dealings with John McCain, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema. Now, Romney provides a window to his most private thoughts. Based on dozens of interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals and private emails, this in-depth portrait by award-winning journalist McKay Coppins shows a public servant authentically wrestling with the choices he has made over his career. In lively, revelatory detail, the book traces Romney’s early life and rise through the ranks of a fast-transforming Republican Party and exposes how a trail of seemingly small compromises by political leaders has led to a crisis in democracy. “A rare feat in modern-day political reporting” (The New Yorker), Romney: A Reckoning is a redemptive story about a complex politician who summoned his moral courage just as fear and divisiveness were overtaking American life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682968Tue, 24 Oct 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682968 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Sugar and Slate Author: Charlotte Williams Narrator: Zadeiah Campbell-Davies, Bernadine Evaristo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A powerful, intimate memoir from writer and academic Charlotte Williams exploring the intertwined history of Wales, Africa and the Caribbean As the daughter of a white Welsh-speaking mother and black father from Guyana, Charlotte Williams's childhood world was one of mixed messages dominated by the feeling that 'somehow to be half-Welsh and half Afro-Caribbean was to be half of something but never quite anything whole at all.' Sugar and Slate tells the fascinating story of her journey of self-discovery, from the small north Wales town of her birth to Africa, the Caribbean and back to Wales.

Title: Sugar and Slate Author: Charlotte Williams Narrator: Zadeiah Campbell-Davies, Bernadine Evaristo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A powerful, intimate memoir from writer and academic Charlotte Williams exploring the intertwined history of Wales, Africa and the Caribbean As the daughter of a white Welsh-speaking mother and black father from Guyana, Charlotte Williams's childhood world was one of mixed messages dominated by the feeling that 'somehow to be half-Welsh and half Afro-Caribbean was to be half of something but never quite anything whole at all.' Sugar and Slate tells the fascinating story of her journey of self-discovery, from the small north Wales town of her birth to Africa, the Caribbean and back to Wales. This is both a personal memoir and a story that speaks to the wider experience of mixed-race Britons. It is a story of Welshness and a story of Wales and above all a story for those of us who look over our shoulder across the sea to some other place.

Title: The Great American Bank Robbery: The Unauthorized Report About What Really Caused the Great Recession Author: Paul Sperry Narrator: Milton Bagby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: You may not realize it, but you helped pay for a $10 million, fourteen-month government “investigation” of the housing collapse. Only your $10 million didn’t buy much, and it certainly didn’t buy truth; any hope of that went out the window on day one. The congressionally appointed panel—made up primarily of anti-market, historic revisionists—managed to shift the blame away from Washington and onto mortgage lenders and “greedy” Wall Street executives, while protecting the real culprits at the core of the crisis: POLITICIANS LIKE THEMSELVES. It’s not about Democrat or Republican, left or right, black or white. It’s about the usual suspects—money and power and the people who use government to manipulate them for private advantage. The Great American Bank Robbery maps out in detail exactly how Washington social engineers and their accomplices reshaped banking regulations and housing policies and gutted time-tested underwriting standards that led to the worst financial calamity since the 1930s, one that has robbed American households of $14 trillion in net worth. And they’re not done yet . . .

Title: Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law Author: Nonie Darwish Narrator: Carol Jacobanis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 11 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Nonie Darwish lived for thirty years in a majority Muslim nation. Everything about her life?family, sexuality, hygiene, business, banking, contracts, economics, politics, social issues, everything?was dictated by the Islamic law code known as Sharia. But Sharia isn't staying in majority Muslim nations. Darwish now lives in the West and brings a warning; the goal of radical Islam is to bring Sharia law to your country. If that happens, the fabric of Western law and liberty will be ripped in two. Under Sharia law: - A woman can be beaten for talking to men who are not her relatives and flogged for not wearing a headdress - Daughters, sisters, and wives can be legally killed by the men in their family - Non-Muslims can be beheaded, and their Muslim killers will not receive the death penalty - Certain kinds of child molestation are allowed - The husband of a 'rebellious' wife can deny her medical care or place her under house arrest Think it can't happen? In 2008, England?once the seat of Western liberty and now the home of many Muslim immigrants?declared that Sharia courts in Britain have the force of law. When Muslim populations reach as little as 1 or 2 percent, says Darwish, they begin making demands of the larger community, such as foot-level faucets for washing before praying in public schools, businesses, and airports. 'Airports in Kansas City, Phoenix, and Indianapolis are among those who have already installed foot baths for Muslim cab drivers,' writes Darwish. These demands test how far Westerners will go in accommodating the Muslim minority. How far will they push? The Organization of the Islamic Conference works to Islamize international human rights laws and apply Sharia 'standards' for blasphemy to all nations. The penalty for blasphemy? Death. Weaving personal experience together with extensive documentation and research, Darwish exposes the facts and reveals the global threat posed by Sharia law. Anyone concerned about Western rights and liberties ignores her warning and analysis at their peril.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676002Tue, 03 Oct 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676002 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Sparks: China's Underground Historians and Their Battle for the Future Author: Ian Johnson Narrator: Ian Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In China today a nationwide movement emerges, defying crackdowns and censorship to challenge the Communist Party on its most hallowed ground: its control of history. In traditional China, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss, describing history as an unstoppable force heading toward Communism's triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and justify its rule. But in recent years, a network of independent writers, artists and film-makers have challenged this state-led disremembering. Using digital technologies to bypass China's legendary surveillance state, their samizdat journals, guerilla media posts and underground films document a pattern of disasters: from past famines and purges to the ethnic clashes and virus outbreaks of the present. Based on years of research in Xi Jinping's China, Sparks challenges stereotypes of a China where the state has quashed all free thought, revealing instead a country engaged in one of humanity's great struggles of memory against forgetting - a battle that will shape the China that emerges in the mid-twenty-first century. ©2023 Ian Johnson (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676704Tue, 26 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676704 to listen full audiobooks.

Ever since a childhood visit to Washington, DC, Cassidy Hutchinson aspired to serve her country in government. Raised in a working-class family with a military background, she was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. Despite having no ties to Washington, Hutchinson landed a vital position at the center of the Trump White House. Her life took a dramatic turn on January 6th, 2021, when, at twenty-four, she found herself in one of the most extraordinary and unprecedented calamities in modern political history. Hutchinson was faced with a choice between loyalty to the Trump administration or loyalty to the country by revealing what she saw and heard in the attempt to overthrow a democratic election. She bravely came forward to become the pivotal witness in the House January 6 investigations, as her testimony transfixed and stunned the nation. In her memoir, Hutchinson reveals the struggle between the pressures she confronted to toe the party line and the demands of the oath she swore to defend American democracy. Enough reaches far beyond the typical insider political account. It’s the saga of a woman whose “bravery and patriotism” (Liz Cheney, former US Representative) helped her overcome childhood challenges to get her dream job, only to face a crisis of conscience—one that more senior White House aides tried to evade—and, in the process, find her voice and herself. As the New York Times noted, “In this age of political cowardice and self-dealing, it can be easy to forget that public service is supposed to be a noble calling...Cassidy Hutchinson reminded us what that looks like.” This is a portrait of how the courage of one person can change the course of history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682966Tue, 26 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682966 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Four Tests: What It Will Take to Keep America Strong and Good Author: Daniel Baer Narrator: Travis Tonn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A “lucidly argued” (Kirkus Reviews), illuminating, and ultimately optimistic roadmap for America’s future and the “tests” the United States must meet to maintain leadership and power in the 21st century—from the former US Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. In today’s fraught global and political climate, the assumption that America maintains its dominant status in global politics is waning. The divisions between us, economic changes driven by globalization and technology, as well as climate change, pandemics, and the resurgence of authoritarianism, make it difficult to be optimistic about America’s future. But what if we use this moment as an opportunity to think about what might come next, and how to build what we need to succeed? If we’re going to allow ourselves to diagnose a “polycrisis” then we should also admit the possibility of “polyprogress.” This book is a roadmap for those who want to take America’s challenges head on, and who hold on to the conviction that we can tackle them. In The Four Tests, Baer argues that we are living through a transition moment and lays out the four tests we must meet: -Scale: Can the US maintain enough scale—or create a facsimile of it through deeper partnerships with friends and allies—as China and other countries continue to rise? -Investment: Can the US muster and effectively direct resources toward investments, particularly investments in people, to lay a foundation for American success in the post-industrial economy? -Fairness: Can the US address unfairnesses in its economy and society so that they don’t stifle growth and undermine social cohesion in a more competitive world? -Identity: Can Americans build a thin but shared political identity, inclusive of every American, that can hold us together and help us work together in a difficult global landscape? While each test poses significant challenges, the US has advantages that some of our most vexing competitors lack. Meeting these tests demands changes in behavior and culture—from politicians, corporate leaders, and citizens. But if we meet these tests, then we can be confident of America’s future. The question is not whether we can succeed—but whether we will. Straightforward and hopeful, Baer’s pragmatic approach will provide fodder for discussion for Trump-supporting aunts and their Elizabeth Warren–stan nephews far beyond the beltway.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681626Tue, 19 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681626 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Sister: North Korea's Kim Yo Jong, the Most Dangerous Woman in the World Author: Sung-Yoon Lee Narrator: Dexter Galang Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 44 minutes Release date: September 12, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This first book on Kim Jong Un’s increasingly powerful sister, tapped to be his successor, offers jaw-dropping insights into the latest generation of North Korea’s secretive and murderous dynasty. The first woman ever to issue the threat of a nuclear weapons strike is not even officially a head of state. Kim Yo Jong is the sister of North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and, as their murderous regime’s chief propagandist, internal administrator, and foreign policymaker, she is the most powerful woman in North Korean history. Cruel but charming, she threatens and insults foreign leaders with sardonic wit, issuing proclamations and denunciations in her own name, a first for any woman in the Korean royal family.  She memorably called the South Korean Defense Minister “a senseless and scum-like guy” before going on to promise South Korea “a miserable fate little short of total destruction and ruin”. A princess by birth with great expectations for her macabre kingdom, she was brought up to believe it is her mission to reunite North Korea with the South or die trying. She’s ruthless and incredibly dangerous.   The Sister, written by Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar of Korean and East Asian studies and a specialist on North Korea, is a fascinating, authoritative account of the mysterious world of North Korea and its ruling dynasty—a family whose lust for power entails the brutal repression of civilians, a missile program that can reach the continental US, and the constant threat of global havoc.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678553Tue, 12 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678553 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement Author: Fredrik Deboer Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening exploration of American policy reform, or lack thereof, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement and how the country can do better in the future from Fredrik deBoer, “one of the sharpest and funniest writers on the internet” (The New York Times). In 2020, while the Covid-19 pandemic raged, the United States was hit by a ripple of political discontent the likes of which had not been seen since the 1960s. The spark was the viral video of the horrific police murder of an unarmed Black man in Minneapolis. The killings of George Floyd galvanized a nation already reeling from Covid and a toxic political cycle. Tens of thousands poured into the streets to protest. Major corporations and large nonprofit groups—institutions that are usually resolutely apolitical—raced to join in. The fervor for racial justice intersected with the already simmering demands for change from the #MeToo movement and for economic justice from Gen Z. The entire country suddenly seemed to be roaring for change in one voice. Then nothing much happened. In How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement, Fredrik deBoer explores why these passionate movements failed and how they could succeed in the future. In the digital age, social movements flare up but then lose steam through a lack of tangible goals, the inherent moderating effects of our established institutions and political parties, and the lack of any real grassroots movement in contemporary America. Hidden beneath the rhetoric of the oppressed and symbolism of the downtrodden lies and the inconvenient fact that those are doing the organizing, messaging, protesting, and campaigning are predominantly drawn from this country’s more upwardly mobile educated classes. Poses are more important than policies. deBoer lays out an alternative vision for how society’s winners can contribute to social justice movements without taking them over, and how activists and their organizations can become more resistant to the influence of elites, nonprofits, corporations, and political parties. Only by organizing around class rather than empty gestures can we begin the hard work of changing minds and driving policy.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672853Tue, 05 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672853 to listen full audiobooks.

'You might love Biden or you might hate Biden, but either way, if you want to understand him, you will want to buy this book.' —Politico “A triumph of reporting.” — Geoff Bennett, PBS NewsHour  “Deeply reported . . . a terrific read.” —Chuck Todd, Meet the Press “Fantastic . . . The first real insider account of the Biden White House and a fascinating read about Biden himself.” —Jon Favreau, Pod Save America On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate. Yet, faced with an unprecedented set of crises, Joe Biden decided he would not play defense. Instead, he set out to transform the nation.  With unparalleled access to the tight inner circle of advisers who have surrounded Biden for decades, Franklin Foer dramatizes in forensic detail the first two years of the Biden presidency, concluding with the historic midterm elections. The result is a gripping and high-definition portrait of a major president at a time when democracy itself seems imperiled. The Last Politician is a landmark work of political reporting—which includes thrilling, blow-by-blow insider reports of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House’s swift response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine—that is destined to shape history’s view of a president in the eye of the storm.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682589Tue, 05 Sep 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682589 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: How to Interpret the Constitution Author: Cass R. Sunstein Narrator: Graham Winton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 51 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein, a timely and powerful argument for rethinking how the U.S. Constitution is interpretedThe U.S. Supreme Court has eliminated the right to abortion and is revisiting other fundamental questions today—about voting rights, affirmative action, gun laws, and much more. Once-arcane theories of constitutional interpretation are profoundly affecting the lives of all Americans. In this brief and urgent book, Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein provides a lively introduction to competing approaches to interpreting the Constitution—and argues that the only way to choose one is to ask whether it would change American life for the better or worse. If a method of interpretation would eliminate the right of privacy, allow racial segregation, or obliterate free speech, it would be unacceptable for that reason.But some Supreme Court justices are committed to “originalism,” arguing that the meaning of the Constitution is settled by how it was publicly understood when it was ratified. Originalists insist that their approach is dictated by the Constitution. That, Sunstein argues, is a big mistake. The Constitution doesn’t contain instructions for its own interpretation. Any approach to constitutional interpretation needs to be defended in terms of its broad effects—what it does to our rights and our institutions. It must respect those rights and institutions—and safeguard the conditions for democracy itself.Passionate and compelling, How to Interpret the Constitution is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about how the Supreme Court is changing the rights and lives of Americans today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/679344Tue, 15 Aug 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/679344 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Living Together: Inventing Moral Science Author: David Schmidtz Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Is moral philosophy more foundational than political theory? It is often assumed to be. David Schmidtz argues that the reverse is true: the question of how to live in a community is more fundamental than questions about how to live. This book questions whether we are getting to the foundations of human morality when we ignore contingent features of communities in which political animals live. Schmidtz contends that theorizing about how to live together should take its cue from contemporary moral philosophy's attempts to go beyond formal theory, and ask which principles have a history of demonstrably being organizing principles of actual thriving communities at their best. Ideals emerging from such research should be a distillation of social scientific insight from observable histories of successful community building. What emerges from ongoing testing in the crucible of life experience will be path-dependent in detail even if not in general outline, partly because any way of life is a response to challenges that are themselves contingent, path dependent, and in flux. Building on this view, Schmidtz argues that justice evolved as a device for grounding peace in the mutual recognition that everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has the right and the responsibility to decide for themselves what to want.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678384Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678384 to listen full audiobooks.

Building on this view, Schmidtz argues that justice evolved as a device for grounding peace in the mutual recognition that everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has the right and the responsibility to decide for themselves what to want.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/brutal-campaign-how-the-1988-election-set-the-stage-for-twenty-first-century-american-politics-by-robert-l-fleegler--65205122https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682898 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Brutal Campaign: How the 1988 Election Set the Stage for Twenty-First-Century American Politics Author: Robert L. Fleegler Narrator: Christopher Douyard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 53 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: At 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time on election night 1988, NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw informed the country that they would soon know more about the outcome of 'one of the longest, bloodiest presidential campaigns that anyone can remember.' It was a landslide victory for George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, and yet Bush would serve only one term. The 1988 presidential race quickly receded into history, but it was marked by the beginning of the modern political sex scandals, the first major African American presidential candidacy, the growing power of the religious right, and other key trends that came to define the elections that followed. Bush's campaign tactics clearly illustrated the strategies and issues that allowed Republicans to control the White House for most of the 1970s and 1980s, and the election set the stage for the national political advent of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Robert L. Fleegler's narrative history of the 1988 election draws from untapped archival sources and revealing oral history interviews to uncover just how consequential this moment was for American politics. Identifying the seeds of political issues to come, Fleegler delivers an engaging review of an election that set a template for the political dynamics that define our lives to this day.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682898Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682898 to listen full audiobooks.

Aiden Aslin joined the Ukrainian marines in 2018, compelled to defend his adopted homeland from the growing threat of Russian invasion. In February 2022, as Russia mounted a full-scale offensive, Aiden and his unit were stationed at the frontline at Mariupol. Pinned down at a Mariupol steelworks, after a month-long siege and running out of supplies, Aiden was part of the mass surrender of over a thousand Ukrainian troops, in April 2022. Then his real ordeal began. Singled out for his British passport, Aiden was interrogated, tortured, stabbed, turned into a propaganda zombie, tried by a kangaroo court and then sentenced to death. A victim of a catalogue of abuses of international law, Aiden struggled to cling on to any hope of survival. Certain that he was going to be executed, he was eventually freed in a prisoner exchange and permitted to return home. In Putin's Prisoner, Aiden will tell the full, harrowing story of his time fighting in Putin's war, of his six months in Russian captivity, and of his hardened resolve to defend the freedoms of the people of Ukraine. ©2023 Aiden Aslin & John Sweeney (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683389Thu, 20 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683389 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Platform Capitalism Author: Nick Srnicek Narrator: Jamie Renell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 55 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future.

Title: Histories of Racial Capitalism Author: Destin Jenkins, Justin Leroy Narrator: Jaime Lincoln Smith, Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The relationship between race and capitalism is one of the most enduring and controversial historical debates. The concept of racial capitalism offers a way out of this impasse. Racial capitalism is not simply a permutation, phase, or stage in the larger history of capitalism—since the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade and the colonization of the Americas, capitalism, in both material and ideological senses, has been racial, deriving social and economic value from racial classification and stratification. Although Cedric J. Robinson popularized the term, racial capitalism has remained undertheorized for nearly four decades. Histories of Racial Capitalism brings together for the first time distinguished and rising scholars to consider the utility of the concept across historical settings. These scholars offer dynamic accounts of the relationship between social relations of exploitation and the racial terms through which they were organized, justified, and contested. Throughout, the contributors consider and challenge how some claims about the history and nature of capitalism are universalized while others remain marginalized. By theorizing and testing the concept of racial capitalism in different historical circumstances, this book shows its analytical and political power for today's scholars and activists.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/679905Tue, 18 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/679905 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution: Reconstructing the Economic Foundations of American Democracy Author: William E. Forbath, Joseph Fishkin Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Oligarchy is a threat to the American republic. When too much economic and political power is concentrated in too few hands, we risk losing the 'republican form of government' the Constitution requires. But as Joseph Fishkin and William Forbath show in this retelling of constitutional history, a commitment to prevent oligarchy once stood at the center of a robust tradition in American political and constitutional thought. Fishkin and Forbath demonstrate that reformers, legislators, and even judges working in this 'democracy-of-opportunity' tradition understood that the Constitution imposes a duty on legislatures to thwart oligarchy and promote a broad distribution of wealth and political power. During Reconstruction, Radical Republicans argued in this tradition that racial equality required breaking up the oligarchy of the Slave Power and distributing wealth and opportunity to former slaves and their descendants. President Franklin Roosevelt and the New Dealers built their politics around this tradition, winning the fight against the 'economic royalists' and 'industrial despots.' Today this tradition in progressive American economic and political thought lies dormant. The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution begins the work of recovering it and exploring its profound implications for our deeply unequal society and badly damaged democracy.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678383Tue, 18 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678383 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town, 1922-1945, Revised Edition Author: William Sheridan Allen Narrator: Tom Beyer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 58 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In this classic work of twentieth-century history, William Sheridan Allen demonstrates how dictatorship subtly surmounted democracy in Germany and how the Nazi seizure of power encroached from below. Relying upon legal records and interviews with primary sources, Allen dissects Northeim, Germany with microscopic precision to depict the transformation of a sleepy town to a Nazi stronghold. This cogent analysis argues that Hitler rose to power primarily through democratic tactics that incited localized support rather than through violent means. Revised on the basis of newly discovered Nazi documents, The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town, 1922–1945 continues to significantly contribute to our understanding of this phenomenon and the political and moral debate over the roots of fascism. Allen's research provides an intimate, comprehensive study of the mechanics of revolution and an analysis of the Nazi Party's subversion of democracy.

Title: Notes on Democracy Author: H. L. Mencken Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 49 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Democracy came into the Western World to the tune of sweet, soft music. There was, at the start, no harsh bawling from below; there was only a dulcet twittering from above.” When H. L. Mencken wrote Notes on Democracy the country was coping with the aftermath of World War I, contending with Prohibition, and watching the Scopes trial play out; the air of the nation was full of paranoia and intolerance. And while it may seem that certain views and statements in the book are dated and out of touch, the general critiques and philosophy found in this book remain as relevant (and as controversial) today as it was when it was first published in 1926. H. L. Mencken was one of America’s most important and influential writers, and he spares nothing and no one in this biting analysis of our system of government. In his review of the book in The Saturday Review of Literature, Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Lipmann describes Notes on Democracy as a “tremendous polemic” that is able to “destroy, by rendering it ridiculous and unfashionable, the democratic tradition of the American pioneers,” and even compares it to The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It is Mencken’s trademark satirical and combative rhetoric and style that make the contentious and at times hyperbolic arguments of Notes on Democracy a vital piece of literature in the forever ongoing examination of democracy in America.

Title: Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars Author: Tara Zahra Narrator: Natasha Soudek Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. International travel, migration, trade, and progressive projects on matters ranging from women's rights to world peace reached a crescendo. Yet in the same breath, an undercurrent of reaction was growing, one that would surge ahead with the outbreak of war and its aftermath. In this sweeping work of history, Tara Zahra examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century. The air went out of the globalist balloon with the First World War as quotas were put on immigration and tariffs on trade, not only in the United States but across Europe. The impact of the 1929 economic crash and the Great Depression amplified a quest for food security in Europe and economic autonomy worldwide. Immigration restrictions, anti-Semitism, and violent outbursts of hatred of the 'other' became the norm—coming to genocidal fruition in the Second World War. Millions sought refuge from the imagined and real threats of the global economy; new movements emerged focused on homegrown and local foods, domestically produced clothing, and back-to-the-land communities. Rich with astonishing detail, Against the World is a poignant and thorough exhumation of the popular sources of resistance to globalization.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675549Tue, 11 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675549 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Being Social: The Philosophy of Social Human Rights Author: Adam Neal, Kimberley Brownlee, David Jenkins Narrator: Danielle Cohen, Alex Wyndham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 8 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Human rights capture what people need to live minimally decent lives. Recognized dimensions of this minimum include physical security, due process, political participation, and freedom of movement, speech, and belief, as well as—more controversially for some—subsistence, shelter, health, education, culture, and community. Far less attention has been paid to the interpersonal, social dimensions of a minimally decent life, including our basic needs for decent human contact and acknowledgment, for interaction and adequate social inclusion, and for relationship, intimacy, and shared ways of living, as well as our competing interests in solitude and associative freedom. This pioneering collection of original essays aims to remedy the neglect of social needs and rights in human rights theory and practice by exploring the social dimensions of the human-rights minimum.

Title: Being Social: The Philosophy of Social Human Rights Author: Adam Neal, Kimberley Brownlee, David Jenkins Narrator: Danielle Cohen, Alex Wyndham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 8 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Human rights capture what people need to live minimally decent lives. Recognized dimensions of this minimum include physical security, due process, political participation, and freedom of movement, speech, and belief, as well as—more controversially for some—subsistence, shelter, health, education, culture, and community. Far less attention has been paid to the interpersonal, social dimensions of a minimally decent life, including our basic needs for decent human contact and acknowledgment, for interaction and adequate social inclusion, and for relationship, intimacy, and shared ways of living, as well as our competing interests in solitude and associative freedom.

Title: Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America Author: Joshua Frank Narrator: Will Tulin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 5 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684134Tue, 11 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684134 to listen full audiobooks.

A decade ago, millions of Egyptians took to the streets in a people-led revolution that captivated the world’s attention and sent ripples across the Middle East. But the so-called “Arab Spring” quickly faded, and a return to the status quo—of authoritarian rule—was cemented. What happened to the energy and desire for change? In Egypt, the answer lies in its youth, who comprise the bulk of the country’s fast-growing 106 million citizens. Sixty percent of the population is under the age of twenty-five, and their world views are very much influenced by social media: TikTok is their primary language and medium of choice. Music is their means of expression—in particular, a thriving hip-hop scene known as mahraganat. This music has given voice to deep dissatisfaction with the Egyptian state and the overall conditions of Egyptian society and culture. Could this be the start of a force for change? Laughter in the Dark is a riveting portrait of a country that is being transformed, for good or bad, by the rise of a fresh youth culture.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683884Tue, 11 Jul 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683884 to listen full audiobooks.

'Extraordinary.' Philippe Sands 'We are touched by the courage and dignity of Andrew Harding's characters - qualities that the author must surely possess in equal measure.' - Andrey Kurkov 'A story of extraordinary heroism by ordinary people. - James Meek 'This gripping account is the Russian invasion of Ukraine in microcosm.' - Lindsey Hilsum It's March 2022 and Russian tanks are roaring across the vast, snow-dusted fields of Ukraine. Their destination: Voznesensk, a town with a small bridge that could change the course of the war. The heavily-armed Russians are expecting an easy fight - or no fight at all. After all, Voznesensk is a quiet farming town, full of pensioners. But the locals appear to have other ideas. Svetlana, a grandmother with arthritis, reacts in fury when Russian troops turn her cottage into their blood-soaked headquarters. Valentin, a quick-talking lawyer, joins the town's 'Dads Army' defenders, crouching in a trench with an AK47. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Sergei grabs a Molotov cocktail and lies in wait for Russian tanks as they push towards Dead Water Bridge. The odds are terrible. But a plan is emerging, and there's a chance it could save not just Voznesensk, but the rest of southern Ukraine. Meanwhile, inside the tanks, an inner battle rages. As Russian officer Igor Rudenko prepares to invade, he has a secret. He is Ukrainian himself.

In that decade there were three prime ministers, each in turn described as the worst leader we ever had; ministerial resignations by the hundred; and an unrelenting stream of ineffectual, divisive bum-slurry oozing from 10 Downing Street. The Decade in Tory is an inglorious, rollicking and entirely true account of ten years of demonstrable lies, relentless incompetence, epic waste, serial corruption, official police investigations, anti-democratic practices, abuse of power, dereliction of duty and hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. With his signature scathing wit, Russell Jones breaks down the government's interminable failures year by year, covering everything from David Cameron's pledge to tackle inequality – which reduced UK life expectancy for the first time since 1841 – through the bewildering storm of lies and betrayals that led to Brexit, devastating education cuts, serial mismanagement of the NHS and Boris Johnson's calamitous response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called 'left' and 'right,' people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of 'liberal' and 'conservative.' Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678365Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678365 to listen full audiobooks.

Nonetheless, American media coverage of China has profoundly influenced U.S. government policy and shaped public opinion not only domestically but also, given the clout and reach of U.S. news organizations, around the world. This book tells the story of how American journalists have covered China—from the civil war of the 1940s through the COVID-19 pandemic—in their own words. Mike Chinoy assembles a remarkable collection of personal accounts from eminent journalists. They share behind-the-scenes stories of reporting on historic moments such as Richard Nixon's groundbreaking visit in 1972, China's opening up to the outside world and its emergence as a global superpower, and the crackdowns in Tiananmen Square and Xinjiang. Journalists detail the challenges of covering a complex and secretive society and offer insight into eight decades of tumultuous political, economic, and social change. At a time of crisis in Sino-American relations, understanding the people who have covered China for the American media and how they have done so is crucial to understanding the news.

Title: The Chevron Doctrine: Its Rise and Fall, and the Future of the Administrative State Author: Thomas W. Merrill Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 27, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Constitution makes Congress the principal federal lawmaker. Power has inevitably shifted to the executive branch agencies that interpret laws already on the books and to the courts that review the agencies' interpretations. Since the Supreme Court's 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, this judicial review has been highly deferential: courts must uphold agency interpretations of unclear laws as long as these interpretations are 'reasonable.' But the Chevron doctrine faces backlash from constitutional scholars and, now, from Supreme Court justices who insist that courts, not administrative agencies, have the authority to say what the law is. Recognizing that Congress cannot help relying on agencies to carry out laws, Merrill rejects the notion of discarding the administrative state. Instead, he focuses on what should be the proper relationship between agencies and courts in interpreting laws, given the strengths and weaknesses of these institutions. Courts are better at enforcing the rule of law and constitutional values; agencies have more policy expertise and receive more public input. The best solution, Merrill suggests, is not of the either-or variety. Neither executive agencies nor courts alone should pick up the slack of our increasingly ineffectual legislature.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675565Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675565 to listen full audiobooks.

Mcconnell Narrator: Walter Dixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 11 minutes Release date: June 27, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion', may be the most contentious and misunderstood provision of the entire United States Constitution. What exactly is an 'establishment of religion'? And what is a law 'respecting' it? Many commentators reduce the clause to 'the separation of church and state.' This implies that church and state are at odds, that the public sphere must be secular, and that the Establishment Clause is in tension with the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. All of these implications misconstrue the Establishment Clause's original purpose. The clause facilitates religious diversity and guarantees equality of religious freedom by prohibiting the government from coercing or inducing citizens to change their religious beliefs and practices. In Agreeing to Disagree, Nathan S. Chapman and Michael W. McConnell detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of the Establishment Clause, state disestablishment, and the disestablishment norms applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. In one of the most thorough accounts of the Establishment Clause, Chapman and McConnell argue that the clause is best understood as a constitutional commitment for Americans to agree to disagree about matters of faith.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682894Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682894 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Invention of Scarcity: Malthus and the Margins of History Series: Part of Yale Agrarian Studies Author: Deborah Valenze Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: June 27, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: With the publication of Essay on the Principle of Population and its projection of food shortages in the face of ballooning populations, British theorist Thomas Robert Malthus secured a leading role in modern political and economic thought. In this startling new interpretation, Deborah Valenze reveals how canonical readings of Malthus fail to acknowledge his narrow understanding of what constitutes food production. Valenze returns to the eighteenth-century contexts that generated his arguments, showing how Malthus mobilized a redemptive narrative of British historical development and dismissed the ways that people adapted to the challenges of subsistence needs. She uses history, anthropology, and food studies to redirect our attention to the margins of Malthus's essay, where activities such as hunting and gathering were rendered extraneous. She demonstrates how Malthus's omissions and his subsequent canonization provided a rationale for colonial imposition of British agricultural models, regardless of environmental diversity. By broadening our conception of human livelihoods, Valenze suggests pathways to resistance against the hegemony of Malthusian political economy. She invites us to imagine a world where monoculture is in retreat and the margins are recentered as spaces of experimentation, nimbleness, and human flourishing.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684144Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684144 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: We Hold Our Breath: A Journey to Texas Between Storms Author: Micah Fields Narrator: Micah Fields Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 20, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Developed as the commercial hub of the Texas cotton and sugarcane industries, Houston was designed for profit, not stability. Its first residents razed swamplands into submission to construct a maze of highways and suburbs, giving the city a sprawling, centerless energy as storms and floods rattled coastal Texas. When Hurricane Harvey made landfall in 2017, Fields set off from his home in Iowa back to the battered city of his childhood to rescue his mother. Fields tracks the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, one storm in a long lineage that threatens the fourth largest city in America. Fields depicts the history of Houston with reverence and lyrical certainty, investigating the conflicting facets of Texan identity that are steeped in racial subjugation, environmental collapse, and capitalist greed. He writes of the development of the modern city in the wake of the destruction of Galveston in 1900; of the oil booms and busts that shaped the city; of the unchecked lust for growth that makes Houston so expressive of the American dream. We Hold Our Breath is a portrait of a city that exists despite it all, a city whose story has always been one of war waged relentlessly against water.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678397Tue, 20 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678397 to listen full audiobooks.

But what does it look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches? Sustaining justice work can be particularly challenging for the sensitive, and it requires a deep level of self-awareness. In Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, writer Dorcas Cheng-Tozun offers six possible pathways for sensitive types: Connectors: relational activists whose interactions and conversations build the social capital necessary for change; Creatives: artists and creators whose work inspires, sheds light, makes connections, and brings issues into the public consciousness; Record Keepers: archivists who preserve essential information and hold our collective memory and history; Builders: inventors, programmers, and engineers who center empathy as they develop society-changing products and technologies; Equippers: educators, mentors, and elders who build skills and knowledge within movements and shepherd the next generation of changemakers; and Researchers: data-driven individuals who utilize information as a persuasive tool to effect change and propose options for improvement.

Title: Espionage: A Concise History Series: Part of MIT Press Essential Knowledge Author: Kristie Macrakis Narrator: Holly Adams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 18 minutes Release date: June 20, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A concise introduction to the history and methods of espionage, illustrated by spy stories from antiquity to today's high-tech world. Espionage is one of the most secret of human activities. It is also, as the popularity of spy stories suggests, one of the most intriguing. This book pulls the veil back on the real world of espionage, revealing how spying actually works. In a refreshingly clear, concise manner, Kristie Macrakis guides listeners through the shadowy world of espionage, from the language and practice of spycraft to its role in international politics, its bureaucratic underpinnings, and its transformation in light of modern technology. Espionage is a mirror of society and human foibles with the added cloak of secrecy and deception. Accordingly, Espionage traces spying all the way back to antiquity, while also moving beyond traditional accounts of military and diplomatic intelligence to shine a light on industrial espionage and the new techno-spy. As thorough—and thoroughly enjoyable—as it is compact, the book is an ideal introduction to the history and anatomy of espionage.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681477Tue, 20 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681477 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Against Decolonization: Taking African Agency Seriously Author: Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò Narrator: Amir Abdullah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Decolonization has lost its way. Originally a struggle to escape the West's direct political and economic control, it has become a catch-all idea, often for performing 'morality' or 'authenticity;' it suffocates African thought and denies African agency. Olúfemi Táíwò fiercely rejects the indiscriminate application of 'decolonization' to everything from literature, language and philosophy to sociology, psychology and medicine. He argues that the decolonization industry, obsessed with cataloguing wrongs, is seriously harming scholarship on and in Africa. He finds 'decolonization' of culture intellectually unsound and wholly unrealistic, conflating modernity with coloniality, and groundlessly advocating an open-ended undoing of global society's foundations. Worst of all, today's movement attacks its own cause: 'decolorizers' themselves are disregarding, infantilizing and imposing values on contemporary African thinkers. This powerful, much-needed intervention questions whether today's 'decolonization' truly serves African empowerment. Táíwò's is a bold challenge to respect African intellectuals as innovative adaptors, appropriators and synthesizers of ideas they have always seen as universally relevant.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669741Tue, 13 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669741 to listen full audiobooks.

But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging 'grabbing match' culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society.

Title: The Making of Black Lives Matter: A Brief History of an Idea (2nd Edition) Author: Christopher J. Lebron Narrator: Diontae Black Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 19 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Started in the wake of George Zimmerman's 2013 acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has become a powerful and incendiary campaign demanding redress for the brutal and unjustified treatment of black bodies by law enforcement in the United States. The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that 'Black Lives Matter' comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity—and not just equal rights—of black people. In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy. This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that 'Black Lives Matter' when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678359Thu, 01 Jun 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/678359 to listen full audiobooks.

This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that 'Black Lives Matter' when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/war-in-ukraine-making-sense-of-a-senseless-conflict-by-nicolas-j-s-davies-medea-benjamin--65205253https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680014 to listen full audiobooks. Title: War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict Author: Nicolas J.S. Davies, Medea Benjamin Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 2 minutes Release date: May 30, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Russia's brutal February 2022 invasion of Ukraine has attracted widespread condemnation across the West. Government and media circles present the conflict as a simple dichotomy between an evil empire and an innocent victim. In this concise, accessible and highly informative primer, Medea Benjamin and Nicolas Davies insist the picture is more complicated. Yes, Russia's aggression was reckless and, ultimately, indefensible. But the West's reneging on promises to halt eastward expansion of NATO in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union played a major part in prompting Putin to act. So did the U.S. involvement in the 2014 Ukraine coup and Ukraine's failure to implement the Minsk peace agreements. The result is a conflict that is increasingly difficult to resolve, one that could conceivably escalate into all-out war between the United States and Russia—the world's two leading nuclear powers. Skillfully bringing together the historical record and current analysis, War in Ukraine looks at the events leading up to the conflict, surveys the different parties involved, and weighs the risks of escalation and opportunities for peace. For anyone who wants to get beneath the heavily propagandized media coverage to an understanding of a war with consequences that could prove cataclysmic, this timely book will be an urgent necessity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680014Tue, 30 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680014 to listen full audiobooks.

This journal of the invasion, a collection of Andrey Kurkov's writings and broadcasts from Kyiv, is a remarkable record of a brilliant writer at the forefront of a twenty-first-century war. Andrey Kurkov has been a consistent satirical commentator on his adopted country of Ukraine. His most recent work, Grey Bees, is a dark foreshadowing of the devastation in the eastern part of Ukraine in which only two villagers remain in a village bombed to smithereens. The author has lived in Kyiv and in the remote countryside of Ukraine throughout the Russian invasion. He has also been able to fly to European capitals where he has been working to raise money for charities and to address crowded halls. Kurkov has been asked to write for every English newspaper, as also to be interviewed all over Europe. He has become an important voice for his people.

Title: The Struggle for Law in the Oceans: How an Isolationist Narrative Betrays America Author: John Norton Moore Narrator: Bob Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: During the 1970s and 1980s the United States led the world in negotiating one of the most important treaties in history, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Through these negotiations the United States secured the largest area of maritime jurisdiction in the world—an area larger than the continental United States itself—and protected navigational freedom, so critical for Naval mobility. Today UNCLOS is in force for 168 countries and the European Union. Isolationist arguments, however, have for a quarter-century prevented the Senate from voting on the Convention. This book discusses the robust reasons favoring the Convention, and offers a sharp critical examination of the arguments still being made against it. John Norton Moore posits that isolationist obstruction has cost the United States two deep seabed mine sites, 'USA-2' and 'USA-3,' for a loss of a half trillion dollars in strategic minerals, and shows how a continuation of this narrative threatens the loss of 'USA-1' and 'USA-4' for another half trillion dollars—all while China has acquired four deep seabed sites and the Russian Federation three. In this groundbreaking and vigorously argued work, Moore asserts that it is time to accede to the Convention, as has been urged for decades by presidents from both sides of the political divide.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669682Tue, 23 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669682 to listen full audiobooks.

More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat. In 1955, the United States State Department launched the 'Chile Project' to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile's 'Chicago Boys' implemented the purest neoliberal model for the next seventeen years, undertaking a package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a 'Chilean miracle.' But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo.

Title: The Two Moralities: Conservatives, Liberals and the Roots of Our Political Divide Author: Ronnie Janoff-Bulman Narrator: Kim Niemi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The left and right will always have strong policy disagreements, but constructive debate and negotiation are not possible when each side demonizes the other. In this book, social psychologist Ronnie Janoff-Bulman provides a new framework for understanding why and how we disagree. Janoff-Bulman asks listeners to consider the challenging possibility that both liberalism and conservatism are morally based and reflect genuine concern for the country. Moral psychology is an invaluable lens for understanding the roots of political differences. She presents a 'Model of Moral Motives' that maps the most fundamental motivations recognized by psychology—approach and avoidance—onto these differences. Liberal morality focuses on providing for the group's well-being and ensuring social justice. Conservative morality focuses on protecting the group from threats and preserving order. These moralities can account for the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives and for why certain positions resonate on each side of the political spectrum. Why, for example, do conservatives oppose abortion and favor unfettered free markets while liberals favor a woman's right to choose and economic regulation? Understanding that our political differences are rooted in two natural forms of morality can help us begin to detoxify our politics.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675511Tue, 23 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675511 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Bulldozed: Scott Morrison’s fall and Anthony Albanese’s rise Author: Niki Savva Narrator: Corinne Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 22 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Between 2013 and 2022, Tony Abbott begat Malcolm Turnbull, who begat Scott Morrison. For nine long years, Australia was governed by a succession of Coalition governments rocked by instability and bloodletting, and consumed with prosecuting climate and culture wars while neglecting policy. By the end, among his detractors—and there were plenty—Morrison was seen as the worst prime minister since Billy McMahon. Morrison failed to accept the mantle of national leadership, or to deal adequately with the challenges of natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. He thought reform was a vanity project. He said he never wanted to leave a legacy. He got his wish. Niki Savva, Australia's renowned political commentator, author, and columnist, was there for all of it. In The Road to Ruin, she revealed the ruinous behavior of former prime minister Abbott. In Plots and Prayers, she told the inside story of the coup that overthrew Turnbull and installed his conniving successor, Morrison. Now she lays out the final unravelling of the Coalition at the hands of a resurgent Labor and the so-called teal independents that culminated in the historic 2022 election.

Crook County bursts open the courthouse doors to reveal a world of punishment determined by race, not offense. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve spent ten years working in and investigating the largest criminal courthouse in the country, Chicago–Cook County, and she takes listeners inside our so-called halls of justice to witness the types of everyday racial abuses that fester within the courts, often in plain sight. We watch white courtroom professionals classify and deliberate on the fates of mostly black and Latino defendants while racial abuse and due process violations are encouraged and even seen as justified. Prosecutors hang out like frat boys in the judges' chambers while the fates of defendants hang in the balance. Public defenders make choices about which defendants they will try to 'save' and which they will sacrifice. Crook County's powerful and at times devastating narratives reveal startling truths about a legal culture steeped in racial abuse.

Viele Menschen meiden mittlerweile bestimmte Straßen, Plätze und Stadtviertel sowie nächtliche Fahrten in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Eltern und Lehrer fürchten die Gewalt in ihren Schulen, Polizei und Sozialarbeiter kommen an ihre Grenzen. Die unbequeme und mutige Berliner Jugendrichterin Kirsten Heisig war schon lange nicht mehr bereit, dies hinzunehmen: 'Wenn wir nicht rasch und konsequent handeln, wenn wir unsere Rechts- und Werteordnung nicht entschlossen durchsetzen, werden wir den Kampf gegen die Jugendgewalt verlieren.' In den letzten Jahren haben sich die von ihr zu Recht angeprangerten Zustände republikweit nicht verbessert, sondern verschärft. Der unkontrollierte Zustrom von unbegleiteten jungen Flüchtlingen in den letzten zwei Jahren wird die Situation weiterhin verschärfen. Das ebenso provokante wie sachkundige Buch von Kirsten Heisig erschien bereits im Jahr 2010 und war ein Bestseller. Doch ist es heute aktueller denn je.

Title: [German] - Das Ende der Geduld (ungekürzt) Author: Kirsten Heisig Narrator: Dunja Hayali Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 58 minutes Release date: May 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Mehr Konsequenz im Umgang mit jugendlichen Gewalttätern: Jugendliche Gewalttäter - sie werden immer brutaler und jünger. Viele Menschen meiden mittlerweile bestimmte Straßen, Plätze und Stadtviertel sowie nächtliche Fahrten in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Eltern und Lehrer fürchten die Gewalt in ihren Schulen, Polizei und Sozialarbeiter kommen an ihre Grenzen. Die unbequeme und mutige Berliner Jugendrichterin Kirsten Heisig war schon lange nicht mehr bereit, dies hinzunehmen: 'Wenn wir nicht rasch und konsequent handeln, wenn wir unsere Rechts- und Werteordnung nicht entschlossen durchsetzen, werden wir den Kampf gegen die Jugendgewalt verlieren.' In den letzten Jahren haben sich die von ihr zu Recht angeprangerten Zustände republikweit nicht verbessert, sondern verschärft. Der unkontrollierte Zustrom von unbegleiteten jungen Flüchtlingen in den letzten zwei Jahren wird die Situation weiterhin verschärfen. Das ebenso provokante wie sachkundige Buch von Kirsten Heisig erschien bereits im Jahr 2010 und war ein Bestseller. Doch ist es heute aktueller denn je.

Title: Not so Black and White: A History of Race from White Supremacy to Identity Politics Author: Kenan Malik Narrator: Homer Todiwala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 44 minutes Release date: May 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A powerful new history of the idea of race, forcing us to rethink today's culture wars. Is white privilege real? How racist is the working class? Why has left-wing antisemitism grown? Who benefits most when anti-racists speak in racial terms? The ‘culture wars' have generated ferocious argument, but little clarity. This book takes the long view, explaining the real origins of ‘race' in Western thought, and tracing its path from those beginnings in the Enlightenment all the way to our own fractious world. In doing so, leading thinker Kenan Malik upends many assumptions underpinning today's heated debates around race, culture, whiteness and privilege. Malik interweaves this history of ideas with a parallel narrative: the story of the modern West's long, failed struggle to escape ideas of race, leaving us with a world riven by identity politics. Through these accounts, he challenges received wisdom, revealing the forgotten history of a racialised working class, and questioning fashionable concepts like cultural appropriation. Not So Black and White is both a lucid history rewriting the story of race, and an elegant polemic making an anti-racist case against the politics of identity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675746Thu, 18 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675746 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Wir alle haben ein Recht auf Zukunft - Eine Ermutigung (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Alexandra Endres, Roda Verheyen Narrator: Heike Warmuth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 5 minutes Release date: May 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der Klimawandel zerstört Lebensräume und Existenzgrundlagen vieler Menschen. Doch oft zeigen sich Regierungen unwillig, etwas dagegen zu unternehmen, und Firmen halten profitgetrieben an ihren überkommenen Geschäftsmodellen fest, die die Klimakrise weiter verschärfen. Was, so fragt man sich, lässt sich dagegen tun? Die medienbekannte Rechtsanwältin und Klimaaktivistin Roda Verheyen sagt klar und bestimmt: klagen. Jüngst, im April 2021, erstritt sie vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht ihren größten Erfolg; dort wurde entschieden, dass ein 'Recht auf Zukunft' nicht durch mangelnden Klima- und Umweltschutz heute beeinträchtigt werden darf. Die Folge: Die Bundesregierung muss das Klimaschutzgesetz nachbessern. Anhand ihrer eigenen Erfahrungen und wichtigen internationalen Prozessfällen zeigt Roda Verheyen, dass vermeintlich Machtlose durchaus Gestaltungsmacht haben. Denn die Klagen schaffen Öffentlichkeit. Sie machen die Fakten für alle nachlesbar und für alle Gerichte anwendbar. Sie erhöhen den Druck. Jeder von uns, ob Opfer des Klimawandels oder Umweltschützer, sollte daher die Möglichkeit haben, mit Klimaklagen gegen Verantwortliche juristisch vorzugehen und sie zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Dort, wo die Kläger die Prozesse gewinnen, tun sie dies stellvertretend für viele andere, da gerichtliche Urteile Regierungen und Konzerne zum Handeln zwingen - und somit letztlich Veränderung bewirken. Dies ist ein Hörbuch, das Mut macht, im Kampf gegen große Klimasünder auch vor juristischen Mitteln nicht zurückzuschrecken.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682326Thu, 18 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682326 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Empire, Incorporated: The Corporations That Built British Colonialism Author: Philip J. Stern Narrator: Rick Adamson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 35 minutes Release date: May 16, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Across four centuries, British colonialism was above all the business of corporations. Corporations conceived, promoted, financed, and governed overseas expansion, making claims over territory and peoples while ensuring that British and colonial society were invested, quite literally, in their ventures. Colonial companies were also relentlessly controversial, frequently in debt, and prone to failure. The corporation was well-suited to overseas expansion not because it was an inevitable juggernaut but because it was an elusive contradiction: public and private; person and society; subordinate and autonomous; centralized and diffuse; immortal and precarious; national and cosmopolitan—a legal fiction with very real power. Breaking from traditional histories in which corporations take a supporting role by doing the dirty work of sovereign states in exchange for commercial monopolies, Philip Stern argues that corporations took the lead in global expansion and administration. As Empire, Incorporated makes clear, venture colonialism did not cease with the end of empire. Challenging conventional wisdom about where power is held on a global scale, Stern complicates the supposedly firm distinction between private enterprise and the state, offering a new history of the British Empire, as well as a new history of the corporation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675494Tue, 16 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675494 to listen full audiobooks.

In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world.

A free society that despises manhood will not remain free. The American Founders believed that a republic depends on certain masculine virtues. Senator Josh Hawley thinks they were right. In a bold new book, he calls on American men to stand up and embrace their God-given responsibility as husbands, fathers, and citizens. No republic has ever survived without men of character to defend what is just and true. Starting with the wisdom of the ancients, from the Greek and Roman philosophers to Jesus of Nazareth, and drawing on the lessons of American history, Hawley identifies the defining strengths of men, including responsibility, bravery, fidelity, and leadership. As Theodore Roosevelt declared, the “very existence of the state depends on the character of its citizens…. I am for business. But I am for manhood first.” Hawley shows why the foolhardy assault on masculinity in education, the media, the workplace, and every level of government is an assault on freedom itself.

Title: Unwritten Law: A BBC Radio True Crime Series Author: Rib Davis, Helena Kennedy Narrator: Gavin Muir, Helena Kennedy, Tracy Wiles, Jane Wittenshaw, Tim Treloar, Geoffrey Whitehead, Stephen Hogan, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Susan Sheridan, Irene Sutcliffe, Full Cast, Jonathan Keeble, Gareth Armstrong, Stephen Thorne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 54 minutes Release date: May 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Eight dramatised documentaries of landmark trials that changed the law What do you do when a judge sentences your child to be beaten? If someone who has been stabbed dies after refusing a blood transfusion, is it a straight case of murder? How did a murder case end up changing the law for battered women who kill? In this gripping series, Helena Kennedy, celebrated human rights lawyer, broadcaster and civil liberties expert and playwright Rib Davis bring to life eight groundbreaking twentieth century trials. With the help of a full cast they reveal how the British legal system has been influenced by powerful, human stories that redefined the law to better reflect our modern society. A Case of Blasphemous Obscenity - Mary Whitehouse brings a libel case against the editor of Gay News, for publishing an allegedly obscene poem. A Bunch of Twigs - The parents of four 15-year-old boys, sentenced to be birched, launch an appeal against corporal punishment. The Case of The Ladies' Directory - What is moral? Publishing information on how to contact sex workers brings Fredrick Shaw to court on moral grounds. 85 Burglaries and a Phone Tap - Who's listening? The trial of eight people in 1978 leads to a much more important investigation into State secrecy. I've Only Just Learnt To Cry - The tragic story of Emma Humphries, who in 1985 was tried for the murder of her boyfriend. Only a Phase - A group of young men in 1970s Belfast appeal to the British Government for gay rights. Breaking the Chain - A young Jehovah's Witness is stabbed and dies. The court must decide if it was murder or if she contributed to her own death by refusing a blood transfusion. On Self Deliverance - Murder or 'mercy'? An organisation finds itself in court after offering practical help to those wishing to commit suicide.

Title: Wild Democracy: Anarchy, Courage, and Ruling the Law Author: Anne Norton Narrator: Nicol Zanzarella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: May 9, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Wild Democracy calls for a more anarchic, more courageous democracy. This is an ethic for people who know the rights they hold, and who struggle to rule themselves. This is an ethic for unfinished revolutions; an ethic for those who will not be mastered. This is an ethic for those who hold fast to the rights they have by nature. Democracy is always a risky business; full of promise and danger. The promise is the freedom to rule ourselves. The danger is fear: fear of the unknown, fear of the unruly, fear of one another, fear of anarchy. The fearful look for a strong hand, a powerful leader, a protector, a gun. Anarchy leads to courage, to self-reliance, self-discipline, self-rule, and solidarity. Anarchy is the nursery of democracy. It is not anarchy we have to fear, it is authoritarianism. We have been taught to see the people as a problem to be managed. Anne Norton sees them as a source of strength. Anarchic democracy grows wild: springing from the everyday actions of ordinary human beings.

Kettl Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 38 minutes Release date: May 9, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work.

Title: Overreach: How China Derailed Its Peaceful Rise Author: Susan L. Shirk Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 6 minutes Release date: May 9, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: For three decades after Mao's death in 1976, China's leaders adopted a restrained approach to foreign policy. To facilitate the country's inexorable economic ascendance, and to prevent a backlash, they reassured the outside world of China's peaceful intentions. Then, as Susan Shirk shows, something changed. China went from fragile superpower to global heavyweight. Combining her decades of research and experience, Shirk, one of the world's most respected experts on Chinese politics, argues that we are now fully embroiled in a new cold war. As she shows, the shift toward confrontation began in the mid-2000s under the mild-mannered Hu Jintao. When Xi Jinping took power in 2012, he capitalized on widespread official corruption and open splits in the leadership to make the case for more concentrated power at the top. Those who implement Xi's directives compete to outdo one another, provoking an even greater global backlash and stoking jingoism within China on a scale not seen since the Cultural Revolution. Here is a devastatingly lucid portrait of China today. Understanding the domestic roots of China's actions will enable us to avoid the mistakes that could lead to war.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673122Tue, 09 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673122 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Civilización: Occidente y el resto Author: Niall Ferguson Narrator: Edson Matus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 44 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: La versión definitiva de la historia global contemporánea. Un viajero que recorriera el mundo en 1411 hubiera quedado deslumbrado por las imponentes civilizaciones orientales. La Ciudad Prohibida estaba en plena construcción en la China de los Ming; en Oriente Próximo, los otomanos acechaban Constantinopla. Por el contrario, los belicosos países de Europa occidental, Inglaterra, Escocia, Castilla, Aragón, Francia y Portugal, eran pobres y atrasados, debilitados por las epidemias, las pésimas condiciones sanitarias y las guerras incesantes. En cuanto a Norteamérica, en el siglo XV era un espacio poco habitado y anárquico en comparación con los impresionantes y organizados imperios de los incas y los aztecas. La idea de que Occidente pudiera llegar a dominar al resto del mundo durante el siguiente medio milenio le hubiera parecido ilusoria. Y, sin embargo, eso fue lo que ocurrió. ¿Qué permitió a la civilización de Europa occidental dominar a los aparentemente superiores imperios orientales? Según Niall Ferguson, Occidente logró desarrollar seis poderosos instrumentos, la competencia, la ciencia, el imperio de la ley, la medicina, la sociedad de consumo y la ética del trabajo. La cuestión fundamental hoy día es si Occidente ha perdido el monopolio de estos seis resortes del poder global. Para averiguarlo, Civilización nos lleva a un extraordinario viaje alrededor del mundo, del Gran Canal en Nankín al palacio de Topkapi en Estambul, del Machu Picchu en los Andes a la isla del Tiburón en Namibia; de las altas torres de Praga a las iglesias secretas de Wenzhou. Es la historia de los barcos de vela, los misiles, los títulos de propiedad, las vacunas, los pantalones vaqueros y las biblias chinas. Es la versión definitiva de la historia global contemporánea. La crítica ha dicho... «Un libro agudo y rabiosamente actual. Ferguson, dotado de una mente perspicaz, sabe cómo llegar al núcleo de las cosas y lo hace con gran pulso narrativo.» Andrew Marr, Financial Times «Civilización es otra obramaestra... una gran fuerza guía la exposición y cada página revela datos fascinantes.» Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times «Erudito y, a la vez, ameno.» Mario Vargas Llosa, El País «Uno de los historiadores más reconocidos del mundo.» Hamish McRae, Independent]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673773Thu, 04 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673773 to listen full audiobooks.

Ferguson, dotado de una mente perspicaz, sabe cómo llegar al núcleo de las cosas y lo hace con gran pulso narrativo.» Andrew Marr, Financial Times «Civilización es otra obramaestra... una gran fuerza guía la exposición y cada página revela datos fascinantes.» Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times «Erudito y, a la vez, ameno.» Mario Vargas Llosa, El País «Uno de los historiadores más reconocidos del mundo.» Hamish McRae, Independent]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/serenity-in-the-storm-living-through-chaos-by-leaning-on-christ-by-kayleigh-mcenany--65205249https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673931 to listen full audiobooks.

Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we've all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation's schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673931Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673931 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Dreamland: America's Immigration Lottery in an Age of Restriction Author: Carly Goodman Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 50 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In a world of border walls and obstacles to migration, a lottery where winners can gain permanent residency in the United States sounds too good to be true. Just as unlikely is the idea that the United States would make such visas available to foster diversity within a country where systemic racism endures. But in 1990, the United States Diversity Visa Lottery was created to do just that. Dreamland tells the surprising story of this unlikely government program and its role in American life as well as the global story of migration. Historian Carly Goodman takes listeners from Washington, DC, where proponents deployed a colorblind narrative about our 'nation of immigrants' to secure visas for white immigrants, to the African countries where it flourished and fostered dreams of going to America. From the post office to the internet, aspiring emigrants, visa agents, and others embraced the lottery and tried their luck in a time of austerity and limits. Rising African immigration to the United States has enriched American life, created opportunities for mobility, and nourished imagined possibilities. But the promise of the American dream has been threatened by the United States' embrace of anti-immigrant policies and persistent anti-Black racism.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673032Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/673032 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Mere Natural Law: Originalism and the Anchoring Truths of the Constitution Author: Hadley Arkes Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Originalism Is Not Enough The Founding Fathers held certain truths to be "self-evident." Do we? In this profoundly important reassessment of constitutional interpretation, the eminent legal philosopher Hadley Arkes argues that "originalism" alone is an inadequate answer to the judicial activism of the left. Without recourse to "mere Natural Law"—the moral principles knowable by all—our legal and constitutional system is doomed to incoherence. With the demise of Roe v. Wade, conservatives savored a landmark victory in the long campaign to reclaim the courts. But on questions as momentous as marriage, equality under the law, and "transgenderism," our judicial system is still arrayed against them. Why aren’t they winning? The answer, says Arkes, is that conservatives have missed the forest for the trees. For fifty years, they have emphasized originalism, a fine tactic but a terrible strategy for saving the rule of law. When liberals "discovered" hitherto-unknown rights in the emanations and penumbras of a "living constitution," conservatives retreated to the text. But the men who framed and ratified the Constitution never meant to confine our rights to its words. They fought a revolution to vindicate "self-evident" moral truths about human nature and the preexisting rights given to us by "Nature and Nature’s God." Until we rediscover Natural Law, nothing will stop the imposition of a perverse moral vision on our institutions and our lives. Brilliant in its analysis, essential in its argument, Mere Natural Law is a must read for everyone who cares about the Constitution, morality, and the rule of law.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680813Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680813 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach: America's Techno-Spy Empire Author: Kristie Macrakis Narrator: Wendy Tremont King Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 37 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Ever since the earliest days of the Cold War, American intelligence agencies have launched spies in the sky, implanted spies in the ether, burrowed spies underground, sunk spies in the ocean, and even tried to control spies' minds by chemical means. But these weren't human spies. Instead, the United States expanded its reach around the globe through techno-spies. Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach investigates how America's technophiles inadvertently created a global espionage empire: one based on technology, not land. Author Kristie Macrakis shows how in the process of staking out the globe through technology, US intelligence created the ability to collect a massive amount of data. But did it help? Featuring the sites visited during her research and stories of the people who created the techno-spy empire, Macrakis guides the listener from its conception in the 1950s to its global reach in the Cold War and Global War on Terror. In an age of ubiquitous technology, Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach exposes the perils of relying too much on technology while demonstrating how the US carried on the tradition of British imperial espionage.

Brown Narrator: Derek Dysart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The story of the interplay between finance, freeways, and urban form in the twentieth century and their enduring impact on American cities and neighborhoods in the twenty-first. American cities are distinct from almost all others in the degree to which freeways and freeway travel dominate urban landscapes. In The Drive for Dollars, Brian D. Taylor, Eric A. Morris, and Jeffrey R. Brown tell the largely misunderstood story of how freeways became the centerpiece of US urban transportation systems, and the crucial, though usually overlooked, role of fiscal politics in bringing freeways about. The authors chronicle how the ways that we both raise and spend transportation revenue have shaped our transportation system and the lives of those who use it, from the era before the automobile to the present day. They focus on how the development of one revolutionary type of road—the freeway—was inextricably intertwined with money. With the nation's transportation finance system at a crossroads today, this book sheds light on how we can best fund and plan transportation in the future.

Braga Narrator: Eric Jason Martin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets.

Title: The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism Author: Aaron Vansintjan, Andrea Vetter, Matthias Schmelzer Narrator: Ulf Bjorklund Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. Not only in society at large, but also on the left, we are held captive by the hegemony of growth. Even proposals for emancipatory Green New Deals or postcapitalism base their utopian hopes on the development of productive forces, on redistributing the fruits of economic growth and technological progress. Yet growing evidence shows that continued economic growth cannot be made compatible with sustaining life and is not necessary for a good life for all. This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth. It discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, 'now-topias' that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth.

Title: The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism Author: Aaron Vansintjan, Andrea Vetter, Matthias Schmelzer Narrator: Ulf Bjorklund Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. Not only in society at large, but also on the left, we are held captive by the hegemony of growth. Even proposals for emancipatory Green New Deals or postcapitalism base their utopian hopes on the development of productive forces, on redistributing the fruits of economic growth and technological progress. Yet growing evidence shows that continued economic growth cannot be made compatible with sustaining life and is not necessary for a good life for all. This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth. It discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, 'now-topias' that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating, expansionist, and hierarchical system.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/age-of-emergency-living-with-violence-at-the-end-of-the-british-empire-by-erik-linstrum--65205244https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669747 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Age of Emergency: Living with Violence at the End of the British Empire Author: Erik Linstrum Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 32 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: When uprisings against colonial rule broke out across the world after 1945, Britain responded with overwhelming and brutal force. Although this period has conventionally been dubbed 'postwar,' it was punctuated by a succession of hard-fought, long-running conflicts that were geographically diffuse, morally ambiguous, and impervious to neat endings or declarations of victory. Age of Emergency traces facts and feelings about violence as torture, summary executions, collective punishments, and other ruthless methods were employed in 'states of emergency.' It examines how Britons at home learned to live with colonial warfare by examining activist campaigns, soldiers' letters, missionary networks, newspaper stories, television dramas, sermons, novels, and plays. Some contemporaries cast doubt on facts about violence. Still others aestheticized violence by celebrating visions of racial struggle or dramatizing the grim fatalism of dirty wars. Through their voices, Erik Linstrum narrates what violence looked, heard, and felt like as an empire ended, a history with unsettling echoes in our own time. Vividly analyzing how far-off atrocities became domestic problems, Age of Emergency shows that the compromising entanglements of war extended far beyond the conflict zones of empire.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669747Tue, 25 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669747 to listen full audiobooks.

En tres puntos diferentes de París se producen atentados yihadistas. El más grave es el de la sala Bataclan, donde están actuando los Eagles of Death Metal. El resultado de los ataques en el corazón de Francia es de ciento treinta muertos y más de cuatrocientos heridos. Años después, durante nueve meses –entre septiembre de 2021 y junio de 2022–, se celebra el juicio en el Palacio de Justicia de la capital. Hay catorce acusados: el principal es el único superviviente de entre los terroristas de Estado Islámico que participaron en la masacre. Sobrevivió porque no detonó su cinturón con explosivos. ¿Falló el mecanismo? ¿Tuvo miedo? ¿O quizá un fugaz momento de arrepentimiento y humanidad? El resto son colaboradores en distintos grados. Y además están los testigos –que cuentan historias de una gran crudeza–, los familiares de los fallecidos, los severos fiscales, los abogados defensores, que utilizan argucias para tratar de salvar a sus clientes, el tribunal, que debe emitir sentencia… La justicia evalúa con frialdad la barbarie. Emmanuel Carrère cubre el juicio y envía sus crónicas semanales a L'Obs. Esos textos son la base de este libro. En sus páginas encontramos la narración del juicio, la voz de las víctimas, los advenedizos que han tratado de hacerse pasar por víctimas, los héroes que ayudaron a detener a los criminales, los corrillos de los abogados, los detalles entre bambalinas… La dimensión humana y la dimensión política.

Title: [German] - Wie man einen Drachen tötet: Handbuch für angehende Revolutionäre Author: Michail Chodorkowski Narrator: Oliver Dupont Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Spätestens seit dem Beginn von Wladimir Putins zunehmend aggressivem Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Ukraine im Februar 2022 ist klar: Eine friedliche Weltordnung MIT Putin ist kaum denkbar. Doch wie kann ein totalitäres Regime beendet werden? Durch wen? Eher von innen oder von außen? Gäbe es überhaupt eine Chance auf einen einigermaßen friedlichen Machtwechsel? Und wer käme dann in Russland an die Macht – und wie würde diese aussehen? Diese drängenden Fragen werden nicht nur von Politikern und Entscheidungsträgern gestellt, sondern im Grunde von allen freiheitsliebenden Menschen in Russland und auf der ganzen Welt. Weit entfernt von jeglicher Besserwisserei, stellt der Autor in Wie man einen Drachen tötet unbequeme Fragen, wie z.B. die nach der Gewaltlosigkeit, und leitet die daraus resultierenden Handlungsoptionen ab. Damit will er keine Patentrezepte liefern, sondern eine längst überfällige Diskussion anstoßen sowie Lösungen für eine Umgestaltung des russischen Staates vorzuschlagen, die künftigen Machtmissbrauch verhindern würde. Das zentrale Argument des Buches ist, dass eine parlamentarische Republik mit einem sorgfältig austarierten System von Kontrollen und Gegengewichten das derzeitige Modell der russischen Staatlichkeit ersetzen muss, welches den Präsidenten mit einer außerordentlichen Fülle an Befugnissen ausstattet – und mit viel zu vielen Möglichkeiten, einseitige Entscheidungen zu treffen.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681970Mon, 17 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/681970 to listen full audiobooks.

When George McCullagh bought The Globe and The Mail and Empire and merged them into the Globe and Mail, the charismatic 31-year-old high school dropout had already made millions on the stock market.

Title: [Spanish] - Los 90: La década que amamos odiar Author: Tomás Balmaceda Narrator: Tomás Balmaceda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: April 13, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Para algunos en el mejor de los sentidos, para otros en el peor, los 90 fueron años de cambios y también de nuevos paradigmas que pusieron patas para arriba a la Argentina y al mundo, e iniciaron una era de transformaciones vertiginosas tras la caída del Muro de Berlín. Tomás Balmaceda es filósofo, docente universitario y periodista especializado en nuevas tendencias -en los 90 transitó su propia adolescencia, etapa clave para los descubrimientos-. En este libro, bajo su mirada inquieta, inteligente e irónica, pasan las andanzas de dos presidentes argentinos y dos estadounidense muy, pero muy especiales; episodios de corrupción generalizada; privatizaciones brutales y escandalosas; el último alzamiento militar; indultos a condenados por crímenes de lesa humanidad; atentados contra la comunidad judía; el asesinato de un reportero gráfico por fotografiar a un empresario poderoso cuyo rostro hasta entonces nadie conocía; los sinsabores del fútbol de la Selección; el 1 a 1 de la convertibilidad que nos convirtió en nuevos ricos; canales privatizados y nuevos modos de hacer televisión; los altibajos de Diego; la Reforma constitucional; el fin de la colimba; la categoría celebrities llevada al extremo y más allá; la pizza con champán y el sushi como nuevos manjares patrios; el diputrucho y los menemtruchos; la aparición y evolución de los teléfonos celulares e Internet, nada menos. Es decir, mucho de eso que hoy creemos que estuvo siempre, empezó en los 90, años en los que se llegó a decir que estábamos ante el fin de la historia.

Title: [Spanish] - Los 90: La década que amamos odiar Author: Tomás Balmaceda Narrator: Tomás Balmaceda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: April 13, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Para algunos en el mejor de los sentidos, para otros en el peor, los 90 fueron años de cambios y también de nuevos paradigmas que pusieron patas para arriba a la Argentina y al mundo, e iniciaron una era de transformaciones vertiginosas tras la caída del Muro de Berlín. Tomás Balmaceda es filósofo, docente universitario y periodista especializado en nuevas tendencias -en los 90 transitó su propia adolescencia, etapa clave para los descubrimientos-. En este libro, bajo su mirada inquieta, inteligente e irónica, pasan las andanzas de dos presidentes argentinos y dos estadounidense muy, pero muy especiales; episodios de corrupción generalizada; privatizaciones brutales y escandalosas; el último alzamiento militar; indultos a condenados por crímenes de lesa humanidad; atentados contra la comunidad judía; el asesinato de un reportero gráfico por fotografiar a un empresario poderoso cuyo rostro hasta entonces nadie conocía; los sinsabores del fútbol de la Selección; el 1 a 1 de la convertibilidad que nos convirtió en nuevos ricos; canales privatizados y nuevos modos de hacer televisión; los altibajos de Diego; la Reforma constitucional; el fin de la colimba; la categoría celebrities llevada al extremo y más allá; la pizza con champán y el sushi como nuevos manjares patrios; el diputrucho y los menemtruchos; la aparición y evolución de los teléfonos celulares e Internet, nada menos. Es decir, mucho de eso que hoy creemos que estuvo siempre, empezó en los 90, años en los que se llegó a decir que estábamos ante el fin de la historia.

Title: The Point of No Return: American Democracy at the Crossroads Author: Thomas Byrne Edsall Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 38 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: After Donald Trump's rise to power, after the 2020 presidential election, after January 6, is American politics past the point of no return? New York Times columnist Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation's politics, culture, and social order. He explains the demographic shifts that helped make Trump's election possible, and describes the racial and ethnic conflict, culture wars, rural/urban divide, diverging economies of red and blue states, and the transformation of both the Republican and Democratic parties that have left our politics in a state of permanent hostility. The Point of No Return brings together a series of Edsall's columns, bookended by a new introduction and conclusion, which show how we got to this dangerous point. These dispatches from our new political landscape chronicle the emergence of what Edsall calls 'the not-so-silent white majority' and show how Trump deployed fears about race and immigration to appeal to voters. Edsall examines Trump's construction of an alternate reality and discusses why we don't always vote according to our own self-interest. Considering the 2020 election and its violent aftermath, Edsall looks at the Capitol insurrection and warns that American democracy is under siege.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669684Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669684 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Breakthrough Community Change: A Guide to Creating Common Agendas That Change Everything Author: Paul Born Narrator: Jeff Hoyt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Discover a powerful methodology for bringing communities together to uncover hidden assets and transform deep-rooted challenges. Veteran community organizer Paul Born's work has contributed to lowering cancer rates in Maine, improving mental health for young people in Florida, and reducing poverty rates in Canada by 20 percent. In this much-needed new book, he shares stories of how he was able to catalyze local communities and guide them to make significant progress on seemingly intractable community problems. Born has found that the secret to success is to organize and unite around a common agenda. This is not a list of topics, like a meeting agenda, nor a strategic plan. He offers a process for bringing leaders from businesses, human service organizations, and governments together with people who have a lived experience of a specific community problem. A common agenda is a statement of shared aspirations, a map of the assets in the community, and a road map for how to work together to make those aspirations a reality. Part I of this book describes how to identify your community's readiness for change; form leadership, action, and strategy teams; create a common agenda; and establish plans for community engagement. Part II presents the approaches and skill sets needed to do the work described in part I. Remarkably, enormous systemic problems such as climate change, poverty, disease, racism, housing, and many more issues can be best addressed at the local level. Communities can develop solutions tailored to their unique circumstances and can collaborate at a magnitude that can result in a truly transformative impact. This book shows how to make change happen.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676772Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676772 to listen full audiobooks.

Gentrification is no longer a phenomenon to be debated by geographers or downplayed by urban planners—it’s an experience lived and felt by working-class people everywhere. Leslie Kern travels to Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London, and Paris to look beyond the familiar and false stories we tell ourselves about class, money, and taste. What she brings back is an accessible, radical guide on the often-invisible forces that shape urban neighbourhoods: settler-colonialism, racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and more. Gentrification is not inevitable if city lovers work together to turn the tide.

Title: Where To from Here: A Path to Canadian Prosperity Author: Bill Morneau Narrator: Bill Morneau Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Bill Morneau’s experience as Canada’s finance minister crystalized his vision for the country’s potential for growth and prosperity. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can — and must — become. Much of the world reacted with surprise and admiration to the results of the 2015 Canadian federal election and the makeup of the government it produced. Led by a young charismatic leader with a storied family legacy on Parliament Hill, the Liberal government scored a historic victory, rising from third-party status to substantial majority. With a gender-equal cabinet and an ambitious agenda, it heralded a new approach to the country’s federal politics. After an exciting and productive five years spent focused on domestic and global issues, Finance Minister Bill Morneau decided to take his leave from the same government. What prompted him to abandon one of the most powerful political offices in the country? How much of his decision was based on the often brutal give-and-take of politics? When did the penny drop, persuading one of Trudeau’s brightest lights to shift his talents and energies elsewhere? In his own persuasive voice, Bill Morneau paints a positive picture, tracing his widely lauded entry into the political arena, the arc of his career in politics, major accomplishments and missed opportunities, his surprising exit, and a host of revealing episodes between the events. Told with measures of both pride and regret, he explores personalities, achievements, and failures with candor. Morneau’s experience crystalized his vision for Canada and its potential for growth and prosperity. He shares a vision clearly and provocatively expressed, drafting a blueprint for the country’s future.

O título desta coletânea – Psicologia Social e Lutas Anticapitalistas: diálogo com o Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social – denota a intenção dos/as organizadores/as deste volume: provocar um debate entre a Psicologia e o Serviço Social a partir das lutas anticapitalistas, parametrado pelo Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social (PEP).

Os diálogos aqui apresentados são preciosos.

Embora a centralidade do livro seja a Psicologia Social, a sua vinculação medular com as lutas anticapitalistas – um dos princípios do Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social, manifesto no seu compromisso com a classe trabalhadora e os processos emancipatórios na perspectiva de uma sociedade igualitária – perpassa toda a obra. Os diálogos aqui apresentados são preciosos. Espero que desbordem em profícuos debates, enriquecendo ambas as profissões e encharcando o Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social de novos subsídios para o enfrentamento dos desafios que se apresentam para aqueles/as comprometidos/as com as lutas anticapitalistas e que não se deixam enganar por eflúvios pós-modernos travestidos de marxismo.

Está regida por las mafias. Día a día, lo sepan o no, los habitantes de la capital del país se someten a los dictados de mafiosos del agua, gangsters de los mercados, pandilleros del comercio, líderes de ambulantes, transportistas piratas, cárteles inmobiliarios, sindicatos tenebrosos y tratantes de personas… además de la delincuencia común.

Title: Unshackled Author: Paul T. Llewellyn Narrator: Rory Barnett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 24 minutes Release date: March 16, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Most lawyers enter the legal profession with laudable aspirations, but for many, those aspirations soon turn to disappointment, dissatisfaction, and burnout. From how we train lawyers and bill our clients to how we service clients and market ourselves, the legal system is long overdue for a wake-up call. As lawyers, we are failing ourselves and our clients. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Change is possible, even extremely achievable, but momentum must begin within. In Unshackled, Paul Llewellyn reimagines the practice of law as a more humane and human-centered career, presenting a practical plan for improving the lives of lawyers and, in turn, improving their results and client satisfaction. After practicing criminal and civil law in England and California, Paul brings a unique perspective to an age-old problem: how to update an outdated system.

Title: At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years 1965-68 Author: Taylor Branch Narrator: Leon Nixon, Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 34 hours 37 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: At Canaan’s Edge: America in the King Years, 1965-68 is the final volume in Taylor Branch's magnificent history of America in the years of the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War, recognized universally as the definitive account and ultimate recognition of Martin Luther King's heroic place in the nation's history. The final volume of Taylor Branch's monumental, much honored, and definitive history of the Civil Rights Movement (America in the King Years), At Canaan's Edge covers the final years of King's struggle to hold his non-violent movement together in the face of factionalism within the Movement, hostility and harassment of the Johnson Administration, the country torn apart by Vietnam, and his own attempt (and failure) to take the Freedom Movement north. At Canaan's Edge traces a seminal era in our defining national story, freedom. The narrative resumes in Selma, crucible of the voting rights struggle for black people across the South. The time is early 1965, when the modern Civil Rights Movement enters its second decade since the Supreme Court's Brown decision declared segregation by race a violation of the Constitution. From Selma, King's non-violent Movement is under threat from competing forces inside and outside. Branch chronicles the dramatic voting rights drives in Mississippi and Alabama, Meredith's murder, the challenge to King from the Johnson Administration and the FBI and other enemies. When King tries to bring his Movement north (to Chicago), he falters. Finally we reach Memphis, the garbage strike, King's assassination. Branch's magnificent trilogy makes clear why the Civil Rights Movement, and indeed King's leadership, are among the nation's enduring achievements.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/670779Tue, 14 Mar 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/670779 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Liderazgo: Seis estudios sobre estrategia mundial Author: Henry Kissinger Narrator: Roger Vidal Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 57 minutes Release date: March 9, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Henry Kissinger analiza cómo seis líderes extraordinarios, a los que conoció de cerca, dieron forma a sus países y al mundo que hoy conocemos. «Pretende ser un manual para los líderes de hoy y de mañana». The New Statesman Henry Kissinger, uno de los principales estrategas políticos del siglo xx, analiza en este nuevo libro los perfiles de seis de los líderes mundiales más fascinantes e influyentesdel pasado reciente: Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew y Margaret Thatcher. Todos ellos se formaron en un periodo en el que las instituciones establecidas se derrumbaban en Europa, las estructuras coloniales daban paso a estados independientes en Asia y África y hubo que crear un nuevo orden internacional a partir de los vestigios del anterior. Kissinger repasa el camino de De Gaulle para reconstruir la Francia postimperial, la rehabilitación llevada a cabo por Adenauer de una Alemania devastada por la guerra o el éxito del experimento de la pequeña ciudad Estado de Lee Kuan Yew en Singapur. El análisis de estos procesos sirve para mostrar las estrategias de gobierno de unos líderes que, impulsados por un alto sentido de Estado, se propusieron posicionar a sus respectivos países en el centro del tablero político mundial. La perspectiva del autor no tiene parangón: es la de un historiador de primer orden que conoció y estuvo implicado en los acontecimientos que se relatan. La experiencia como alto representante público, el conocimiento personal de los protagonistas y la carrera política de Kissinger enriquecen un libro que atestigua cómo la combinación del carácter de los personajes y las circunstancias de cada situación es lo que acaba dando forma a la historia. La crítica ha dicho: «Siempre vale la pena escuchar a este sorprendente testigo de la historia». Simon Heffer, The Telegraph Book of the Year «Un estudio vital del poder en acción». Publishers Weekly «Según Kissinger, sus seis protagonistas demuestran que el liderazgo transformador de las grandes personas es más importante que las fuerzas impersonales a la hora de forjar la historia». The Times De Orden mundial se dijo: «El mejor Kissinger, con su inimitable combinación de erudición». Hillary Clinton «Un fascinante e instructivo recorrido global por la búsqueda de la armonía. La clave del realismo en las relaciones internacionales de Kissinger, y el tema de este libro magistral, es que la humildad es importante no solo para las personas, sino también para los países, incluido Estados Unidos». Walter Isaacson «Un magnífico ensayo sobre el desorden político internacional».

La crítica ha dicho: «Siempre vale la pena escuchar a este sorprendente testigo de la historia». Simon Heffer, The Telegraph Book of the Year «Un estudio vital del poder en acción». Publishers Weekly «Según Kissinger, sus seis protagonistas demuestran que el liderazgo transformador de las grandes personas es más importante que las fuerzas impersonales a la hora de forjar la historia». The Times De Orden mundial se dijo: «El mejor Kissinger, con su inimitable combinación de erudición». Hillary Clinton «Un fascinante e instructivo recorrido global por la búsqueda de la armonía. La clave del realismo en las relaciones internacionales de Kissinger, y el tema de este libro magistral, es que la humildad es importante no solo para las personas, sino también para los países, incluido Estados Unidos». Walter Isaacson «Un magnífico ensayo sobre el desorden político internacional». Lluis Bassets, Babelia]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-uber-israel-reden-eine-deutsche-debatte-ungekurzte-lesung-by-meron-mendel--65205229https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671551 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Über Israel reden - Eine deutsche Debatte (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Meron Mendel Narrator: Timo Weisschnur Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 13 minutes Release date: March 9, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Über kaum ein anderes Land wird in Deutschland so viel geredet und gestritten: Zu Israel hat jeder eine Meinung. Warum ist das so? Wieso hat der Nahostkonflikt eine solche Bedeutung? Und warum ist die Debatte so emotional - und oft so vergiftet? Als Meron Mendel vor zwanzig Jahren nach Deutschland kam, stellte er überrascht fest, welche Bedeutung sein Heimatland Israel hier im öffentlichen Diskurs hatte. Schon damals konnten nahezu alle, mit denen er sprach, klare Positionen zu Israel und seiner Politik formulieren. Heute werden die Debatten noch heftiger geführt. Zuletzt haben sich Skandale aneinandergereiht - vom öffentlichen Streit um den antiisraelischen Philosophen Achille Mbembe im Jahr 2020 bis zur Documenta-Debatte von 2022. Einerseits wird eine Art 'Freundschaftspflicht' aufgrund der NS-Vergangenheit und dem andauernden Antisemitismus in Deutschland proklamiert. Andererseits stellt sich die Frage, wie Deutschland auf den sich verschärfenden Rechtskurs der Regierung in Jerusalem reagieren soll. Meron Mendel schildert in diesem Hörbuch, wie das Verhältnis zu Israel und zum Nahostkonflikt in Deutschland verhandelt wird, in der Politik und in den Medien, unter Linken, unter Migranten und unter Juden. Deutschlands Verhältnis zu Israel steht vor großen Herausforderungen: Meron Mendel zeigt, wie wir ihnen mit Mut und Offenheit begegnen können.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671551Thu, 09 Mar 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671551 to listen full audiobooks.

Nessa ótica, a abordagem do presente trabalho busca investigar a origem propriamente dita do tributo 'lato sensu', sem, contudo, ter o fim de esgotar o assunto – encontrando-se o primeiro registro na história, datado de 2.350 a.C. em escrita cuneiforne no reinado de Urukagina na cidade-estado de Lagash –, bem como as consequências trazidas pela Emenda Constitucional nº 39/2002, produzindo reflexos na teoria das espécies tributárias. A análise aplicada à aludida emenda constitucional apontou a inconstitucionalidade material da norma, porquanto, até o encerramento desta obra, não foi proposta a devida Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade pelos legitimados no art. 103 da CF/88, portanto goza de presunção de legitimidade para todos os fins, inferindo, ainda, em um foco mais apurado, que não houve uma salutar argumentação plausível de justificar a criação de um tributo para custear despesas de iluminação pública de município que não fosse, tão somente, o fim de subsidiá-lo.

El desarrollo de la genética, la neurociencia y el big data ha cambiado la manera en que entendemos lo que puede conocerse sobre una persona. Los nuevos tipos de información traen aparejadas nuevas angustias, agravadas por lo difícil que resulta determinar con exactitud qué significará dicha información, quiénes tendrán acceso a ella y quiénes podrán usarla o manipularla. El surgimiento de nuevos tipos de información en el campo de la medicina implica que 'saber o no saber' ha cobrado una importancia vital para el individuo. Igual de importante es examinar la ignorancia en relación con los nuevos mecanismos de poder.

Title: Dirty Laundry Author: Lily Arthur Narrator: Lily Arthur Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: At seventeen years old, Lily Arthur was caught between an era of women's liberation and the draconian ideology that young women should be punished for deviating from society's 'moral codes'. For the 'crime' of being pregnant, Lily was forcibly taken from the man she planned to marry and incarcerated in Brisbane Watch House before being sent to work in a notorious Magdalene laundry. Committed to the Holy Cross home for unwed mothers in Woolowin, Lily's son was taken from her in the labour ward and put up for adoption. She promised him: 'I will see you again, little one. I will see you again.' A true story from the war-torn ravages for East End London to the far north of Queensland, Australia, Dirty Laundry recounts a journey that took Lily and a movement of women like her on a lifelong battle for justice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683329Mon, 23 Jan 2023 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683329 to listen full audiobooks.

Committed to the Holy Cross home for unwed mothers in Woolowin, Lily's son was taken from her in the labour ward and put up for adoption. She promised him: 'I will see you again, little one.

Title: [German] - Die Kunst des Machbaren: Lehrreiches und Heiteres aus dem Leben eines Topmanagers Author: Heinrich Von Pierer Narrator: Peter Wolter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 56 minutes Release date: October 29, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In seinen vier Jahrzehnten für den Weltkonzern Siemens durchlebte Heinrich von Pierer Höhen und Tiefen des Managerdaseins. Was muss ein Topmanager können, um sich an der Spitze zu behaupten? Wie geht er erfolgreich mit Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen um, wie mit Betriebsräten, Investoren, Kunden – aber auch mit der Prominenz aus der Politik?

Elif Shafak, eine der bedeutendsten Stimmen für Gleichberechtigung und freiheitliche Werte in Europa, zeigt mit viel Einsicht Wege auf, wie wir Demokratie, Einfühlungsvermögen und unseren Glauben an eine bessere und weisere Zukunft fördern können.

Title: [German] - Der Fall Julian Assange: Geschichte einer Verfolgung - Der spektakuläre Report des UNO-Sonderberichterstatters für Folter Author: Nils Melzer Narrator: Stefan Lehnen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 19, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 2010 veröffentlicht WikiLeaks das größte Leak der US-Militärgeschichte – das 'Afghan War Diary' mitsamt Beweisen für Kriegsverbrechen und Folter. Kurz danach verdächtigt Schweden Wikileaks-Gründer Julian Assange der Vergewaltigung; die USA ermitteln verdeckt. Nach jahrelangem Botschaftsasyl überstellt ihn Ecuador 2019 der britischen Polizei.

Title: [German] - Die Wirecard-Story: Die Geschichte einer Milliarden-Lüge – Von den mehrfach ausgezeichneten Investigativ-Reportern der WirtschaftsWoche Author: Melanie Bergermann, Volker Ter Haseborg Narrator: Stefan Lehnen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 45 minutes Release date: February 16, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der Fall Wirecard ist der wohl spektakulärste Betrugsfall der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte. 1,9 Milliarden Euro – der Unternehmensgewinn aus mehr als fünf Jahren – sind nicht da. 20 Milliarden Euro Börsenwert – vernichtet. Der ehemalige Konzernchef Markus Braun kam in Untersuchungshaft, Ex-Vorstand Jan Marsalek gelang eine filmreife Flucht. Was bleibt, ist die Geschichte eines Zahlungsabwicklers, der als kleiner Dienstleister für die Pornoindustrie begann, doch schon bald die Schmuddelecke hinter sich lassen und mit namhaften Geschäftspartnern traumhafte Gewinne erzielen sollte. Tatsächlich war Wirecard ein Unternehmen, in dem ein dubioser Deal auf den nächsten folgte. Wirecards Geschichte – sie war zu schön, um wahr zu sein. Von Anfang an. Aufseher, Ermittler und Wirtschaftsprüfer sind blamiert, doch nicht nur das: Der Fa ll Wirecard ist eine Niederlage für den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland. Wie konnte das passieren? Dieser Frage gehen Melanie Bergermann und Volker ter Haseborg nach. Die Reporter der  WirtschaftsWoche  sind seit Jahren kritische Begleiter von Wirecard.

Title: [Spanish] - Meditaciones desde el subsuelo Author: Guillermo Fadanelli Narrator: Mauricio Meléndez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 10 minutes Release date: March 30, 2018 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ¿Qué causas pueden sustentar a la escritura? ¿Tiene sentido seguir escribiendo en el mundo contemporáneo? Para responder, recurre a una cita E. L. Doctorow: '[La ficción] enseña las leyes de la comunidad y distribuye el sufrimiento'. A partir de ella construye distintos argumentos a favor de la producción de ficciones y su consumo. La literatura nos ayuda a aceptar la diferencia: nos ejercita en el conocimiento de otros mundos e individuos y nos acerca al sufrimiento ajeno. Y amplía nuestra imaginación moral. Pero la literatura también nos enseña a dudar y romper con los productos con los que la globalización intenta pastorearnos: nos hace cuestionar tradiciones y dogmas. A su vez, la literatura aísla al lector, lo fortalece internamente, haciéndolo un individuo al que le resulta más fácil oponer resistencia al mundo globalizado de la mercadotecnia y la barbarie. Finalmente, opta por identificar su propuesta ético-política como una vertiente singular de la tradición anarquista, en la que el individuo sea el protagonista, concluyendo con una sugerente paradoja: La comunidad en tiempos de crisis continúa viva en la pluralidad del individuo. 'Una preocupación humanista está en el origen de los ensayos de Fadanelli, de allí que todos sean críticos y personales a un tiempo. La página, para él, es un lugar de inestabilidad, en que las preguntas, incluso las más abstractas, surgen y vuelven a la propia experiencia.' Luigi Amara 'Los géneros, las distintas formas de la escritura, sostienen la frondosa copa del texto: ensayo, narrativa, filosofía, aforismos, digresiones y referencias biográficas. Sus constantes devaneos hacen también de Insolencia un paseo que se suma a la familia de libros en los que, quizás, el paseo sea en sí mismo un género literario.'

In seinem Buch, das auf Recherchen in Berlin, Brüssel, Wien, Budapest und der Türkei basiert, rekonstruiert er minutiös die Schlüsselentscheidungen von sechs Schicksalsmonaten und erzählt am Beispiel des wohl dramatischsten Kapitels der jüngeren deutschen Geschichte davon, wie heute Politik gemacht wird.]]>185chtlingspolitikcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-allein-unter-fluchtlingen-by-tuvia-tenenbom--65205174https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676813 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Allein unter Flüchtlingen Author: Tuvia Tenenbom Narrator: Stefan Krause Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 6, 2017 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Seit Herbst 2015, als zahlreiche Flüchtlinge nach Deutschland kamen, hat sich das Land grundlegend verändert. Viele erleben die Migrationsbewegung als eine Zäsur, deren Folgen noch längst nicht abzusehen sind. Um zu verstehen, was da in den letzten Monaten eigentlich genau passiert ist, ist Tuvia Tenenbom einmal mehr kreuz und quer durch die Republik gereist., , Er wollte wissen, was die wahren Gründe der Willkommenskultur waren, warum Deutschland ein großes Herz gezeigt, aber immer noch keinen Plan hat, und wie es hier eigentlich um die Meinungsfreiheit bestellt ist. Seinen Gesprächspartnern - seien es Gregor Gysi, Volker Beck oder Kardinal Reinhard Marx, seien es Frauke Petry von der AfD, Pegida-Gründer Lutz Bachmann oder der geistige Führer der neuen Rechten Götz Kubitschek, seien es Akif Pirinçci oder Jürgen Todenhöfer - hat er unbequeme Fragen gestellt. Die Erkenntnisse, die er dabei gewonnen hat, sind mindestens ebenso verstörend wie seine Besuche in den Flüchtlingslagern, wo er von beschämenden Zuständen berichtet, deren Auswirkungen nicht nur individuell verheerend sind, sondern in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft die gesamte deutsche Gesellschaft betreffen werden., , Tuvia Tenenboms provokante, streitbare Großreportage über die neue deutsche Wirklichkeit ist ebenso aufrüttelnd wie erschütternd - und ein Appell zum Umdenken und offenen Diskurs.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676813Mon, 06 Mar 2017 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676813 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Was bleiben wird - Ein Gespräch über Herkunft und Zukunft Author: Friedrich Schorlemmer, Gregor Gysi Narrator: Friedrich Schorlemmer, Gregor Gysi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 26 minutes Release date: March 9, 2015 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Was von den Träumen blieb Vor der Wende standen sie auf verschiedenen Seiten: Gregor Gysi, Sohn des DDR-Kulturministers Klaus Gysi und Anwalt, und Friedrich Schorlemmer, Pfarrerssohn und Oppositioneller. In diesem sehr persönlichen Gespräch mit dem Journalisten Hans-Dieter Schütt erinnern sich beide an ein verschwundenes Land und wie sie es erlebten. Sie sprechen über das, was Bestand haben wird, aber auch das, was auf den Müll der Geschichte gehört. Gregor Gysi, Sohn des Widerstandskämpfers und späteren Kulturministers der DDR Klaus Gysi, gehörte zu den eher systemnahen, wenn auch von der Nomenklatura beäugten Persönlichkeiten der DDR. Friedrich Schorlemmer, Pfarrer, Oppositioneller, Mitinitiator der Bürgerrechtsbewegung 'Schwerter zu Pflugscharen', stand der DDR und ihren Oberen immer kritisch gegenüber. Beide erinnern sich an ein schwieriges Land, das sie geprägt hat wie 17 Millionen andere auch. Ohne Scheuklappen und falsche Ressentiments unternehmen sie im Gespräch mit dem Journalisten Hans-Dieter Schütt den Versuch, über das zu sprechen, was bedenkenswert bleibt an dem gesellschaftlichen Projekt, das die DDR gewesen ist. Gerade angesichts eines entfesselten Kapitalismus, der seine Menschen ebenso wie Natur und Umwelt zur Ressource macht, statt sich in deren Dienst zu stellen, ist dieses Buch das notwendige Unterfangen, Alternativen zu beschreiben.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675355Mon, 09 Mar 2015 01:22:05 +0000Glenna PagacPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/675355 to listen full audiobooks.
