Title: What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service Author: Melissa Fitzgerald, Mary Mccormack Narrator: Mary Mccormack, Melissa Fitzgerald Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A behind-the-scenes look into the creation and legacy of The West Wing as told by cast members Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack, with compelling insights from cast and crew exploring what made the show what it was and how its impassioned commitment to service has made the series and relationships behind it endure. Step back inside the world of President Jed Bartlet’s Oval Office with Fitzgerald and McCormack as they reunite the West Wing cast and crew in a lively and colorful “backstage pass” to the timeless series. This intimate, in-depth reflection reveals how The West Wing was conceived, and spotlights the army of people it took to produce it, the lifelong friendships it forged, and the service it inspired.    From cast member origin stories to the collective cathartic farewell on the show’s final night of filming, What’s Next will delight readers with on-set and off-camera anecdotes that even West Wing superfans have never heard. Meanwhile, a deeper analysis of the show’s legacy through American culture, service, government, and civic life underscores how the series envisaged an American politics of decency and honor, creating an aspirational White House beyond the bounds of fictional television.    What’s Next revisits beloved episodes with fresh, untold commentary; compiles poignant and hilarious stories from the show’s production; highlights initiatives supported by the cast, crew, and creators; and makes a powerful case for competent, empathetic leadership, hope, and optimism for whatever lies ahead. * This audiobook edition has been adapted for the audio format, and the content deviates slightly from the printed version. It includes a downloadable PDF that contains a list of organizations important to the cast and crew and behind the scenes photos and images from The West Wing.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666342Tue, 13 Aug 2024 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666342 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Beyond Policing Author: Philip V. Mcharris Narrator: Philip V. Mcharris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What would happen if policing disappeared? Would we be safe? This book imagines a world without police. It’s evident that policing is a problem. But what is the way best forward? In Beyond Policing, distinguished scholar and writer Philip V. McHarris reimagines the world without police to find answers and reveal how we can make police departments obsolete. Beyond Policing tackles thorny issues with evidence, including data and personal stories, to uncover the weight of policing on people and communities and the patterns that prove police reform only leads to more policing. McHarris challenges us to envision a future where safety is not synonymous with policing but is built on the foundation of community support and preventive measures. He explores innovative community-based safety models (like community mediators and violence interrupters), the decriminalization of driving offenses, and the creation of nonpolice crisis response teams. McHarris also outlines strategies for responding to conflict and harm in ways that transform the conditions that give rise to the issues. He asks us to imagine a world where people thrive without the shadow of inequality, where our approach to safety is a collective achievement. McHarris writes, “What if our response to crisis wasn’t about control but about care? How can we create conditions where safety is a shared responsibility? How can we design justice so that no community is routinely oppressed? Envisioning such a world isn’t just a daydream; it’s the first step toward building a society where violence and fear no longer dictate our lives.” Transformative and forward thinking, Beyond Policing provides a blueprint for a brighter, safer world. McHarris’s vision is clear: we must dare to move beyond policing and foster a society where everyone has the resources to thrive and feel safe.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665584Tue, 30 Jul 2024 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665584 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart Again Author: Robert Kagan Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 2, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats to our democracy posed by the increasing radicalization of the Republican Party, from a leading historian and intellectual The 2024 election could be the last free election held in a unified America. So warns Robert Kagan in this brilliant and terrifying analysis of the perilous state of democracy in the United States today. If Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, as he did in 2020, but refuses to accept the result, as he also did in the last election, he is likely to call on his millions of followers to repudiate the election results. It will be a short step from there to Republican-dominated states rejecting the legitimacy of the federal government and effectively seceding. The United States at that point will cease to be united, with grave consequences for both Americans and the world. In Rebellion, Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that have brought us to this moment—in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America’s character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump’s unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution—not for the first time in our history but possibly the last. This is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment. 'The transformation of the US into an autocracy has advanced. By 2024, it might be irreversible [and] will change almost everything in the world. Nobody has outlined this danger more compellingly than Robert Kagan.' - Martin Wolf, Financial Times ©2024 Robert Kagan (P) 2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/661429Thu, 02 May 2024 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/661429 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Adventures in Democracy: The Turbulent World of People Power Author: Erica Benner Narrator: Louise Brealey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: February 8, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In a hyper-competitive world obsessed with rankings, super-wealth and greatness, how can we live up to democratic ideals of equality? Erica Benner has spent a lifetime thinking about these questions from different angles in different countries - from post-war Japan, where democracy was imposed on a defeated country, to post-communist Poland, with sudden gaps of wealth and security, and the US and South Africa with their legacies of slavery and racism. Adventures in Democracy draws on her experiences and the deep history of democracies - in ancient Rome and Athens, the American and French revolutions and Renaissance Florence - to offer an unflinching portrait of modern democracy. To salvage democratic institutions and ideals, Benner argues, we need to pay more attention to inequalities and struggles for power among citizens. Probing myths of heroic triumph over tyranny and inexorable progress towards equality, she reveals the vulnerabilities of people power, inviting us to consider why democracy is worth fighting for and the role each citizen must play. ©2024 Erica Benner (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667426Thu, 08 Feb 2024 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667426 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Thoughts From the Ice-Drinker's Studio: Essays on China and the World Author: Liang Qichao Narrator: Daniel York Loh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'A country does not become corrupt and weak overnight. Rather, we are now reaping the evil harvest of what previous generations sowed.' The power, anger and fluency of Liang Qichao's writings make him one of the towering figures in modern Chinese literature. He saw his great, almost unmanageable task as an attempt to write China into the new era - to provide an ancient country, devastated by civil war and foreign predators, with the intellectual equipment to renew itself. Liang said that he wrote from an 'ice-drinker's studio', implying that underneath his dispassionate, disabused and rational tone lay an ardour and passion which only ice could cool. China could only recover through a clear-sighted, informed understanding of its enemies - and by engaging in a thorough-going self-critique. Liang did not propose aping the West but taking only what China needed to 'renew the people' and create 'new citizens'. Then China would be able to expel its invaders, reform its society and become a great power once more. This selection of pieces shows Liang's extraordinary range and the burning sense of mission which drove him on, attempting to galvanize and refresh an entire nation. Blending together Confucianism, Buddhism and the Western Enlightenment, Liang's ideas about nation, democracy, and morality had a profound impact on Chinese visions of the political order, though the China that eventually emerged from the further disasters of the 1930s and 1940s would be a very different one. ©2023 LLiang Qichao (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659645Thu, 26 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659645 to listen full audiobooks.

It is the physical manifestation of our social contract—of our ability to work collectively for the public good—and it consists of the most complex and vast technological systems ever created by humans. A soaring bridge is an obvious infrastructural feat, but so are the mostly hidden reservoirs, transformers, sewers, cables, and pipes that deliver water, energy, and information to wherever we need it.

It is the physical manifestation of our social contract—of our ability to work collectively for the public good—and it consists of the most complex and vast technological systems ever created by humans.

An essential, exceptional work.” —Toluse Olorunnipa, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of His Name Is George Floyd From the highest-ranking whistleblower in NYPD history, a gripping insider look at the complexities of modern policing and the urgent need for reform Over his decade and a half with the New York Police Department, Edwin Raymond consistently exposed the dark underbelly of modern policing, becoming the highest-ranking whistleblower in the history of the force and one of the country’s leading voices against police injustice. Offering a rare, often shocking view of American policing, An Inconvenient Cop pulls back the curtain on the many flaws woven into the NYPD’s training, data, and practices, which have since been repackaged and repurposed by police departments across the country. Gravitating toward law enforcement in the hope of being a positive influence in his community, Raymond quickly learned that the problem with policing is a lot deeper than merely “a few bad apples”—the entire mechanism is set up to ensure that racial profiling is rewarded, and there are weighty consequences for cops who don’t play along. Struggling with the moral dilemma of policing impartially while witnessing his fellow officers go with the flow, Raymond’s journey takes him to the precipice of personal and professional ruin. Yet, through it all, he remains steadfast in his commitment to justice and his belief in the potential for change. At once revelatory and galvanizing, An Inconvenient Cop courageously bears witness to and exposes institutional violence. It presents a vision of radical hope and makes the case for a world in which the police’s responsibility is not to arrest numbers but to the people.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666311Tue, 17 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666311 to listen full audiobooks.

The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium—one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist  Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo’s new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.” Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization’s biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help—an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo’s rebellious southeast.

Reilly Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 32 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement--threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. The attack on the Capitol building following the 2020 election was an extraordinarily large and brazen crime. Conspiracies were formed on social media in full public view, the law-breakers paraded on national television with undisguised faces, and with outgoing President Donald Trump openly cheering them on. The basic concept of law enforcement--investigators find criminals and serve justice--quickly breaks down in the face of such an event. The system has been strained by the sheer volume of criminals and the widespread perception that what they did wasn't wrong.  A mass of online tipsters--"sedition hunters"--have mobilized, simultaneously providing the FBI with valuable intelligence and creating an ethical dilemma. Who gets to serve justice? How can law enforcement still function as a pillar of civil society? As the foundations of our government are questioned, the FBI and Department of Justice are the first responders to a crisis of democracy and law that threatens to spread, and fast. In this work of extraordinary reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries, obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized country. From the moment the police barriers were breached on January 6th, 2021, Americans knew something had profoundly changed. Sedition Hunters is the fascinating, high-stakes story of what happens next.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665591Tue, 17 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665591 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: First, Best: Lessons in Leadership and Legacy from Today's Civil Rights Movement Author: Fagan Harris, Steven L. Reed Narrator: Steven L. Reed Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 51 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The first Black mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, shares his story of making his way in a world that wasn’t built for him, drawing on his rich heritage as the son of a civil rights leader. As a proud son of a civil rights leader, Steven L. Reed grew up hearing stories about how his father integrated Montgomery lunch counters and took advice directly from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Reverend Ralph Abernathy. However, it wasn’t until Reed was in the fourth grade and received a death threat against his father that he began to understand more fully the importance of the lessons his father was trying to impart. At this pivotal moment, his father explained, “My job is to prepare you to be a cross-bearer and not just a crown-wearer. Bigotry has no place in our household. It will only hold you down and make you small.”     First, Best is an essential antidote to the perpetual dehumanization and distortions of Black men in our culture and media. By sharing the story of forging his own path, Reed offers an alternative narrative to Black men coming of age, catalyzing their hope and sense of possibility. Although Reed took a circuitous path to the office of mayor that began by forging his identity at Morehouse College, pursuing entrepreneurship and exploring the wider world, and serving as a probate judge, each step was guided by the values of his father’s generation. First, Best is not just about assuming the mantle of manhood or leadership, nor is it only about the expectation of greatness. Fundamentally, it’s about responsibility and preparation, serving others, and being willing to pay the price of leadership by carrying the weight of each decision. First, Best affirms the next generation of Black men and women by showing, through story and example, their power and potential in a world that doesn’t always root for them.

Title: American Man: Speaking the Truth about the War on Masculinity Author: Lawrence Jones Narrator: Lincoln Wright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 1 minute Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Fox News star Lawrence Jones delivers the common sense book America needs more than ever in this definitive takedown of the left’s never-ending attacks on masculinity. A generation ago it was understood that men and women were unique, yet interdependent, and designed by God to be that way. Today, the woke crowd wants you to believe masculinity is “toxic.” In his first book, Lawrence embarks on a thorough examination of who is doing the attacking and why. Informed by his travels across the country for Fox News, Lawrence explains how confused progressives are about manhood—and how powerful the need is to set the record straight. Men, he argues, are indispensable to thriving families and prosperous societies, and the sooner men start acting like men, the better off we all will be.  Packed with stories from his own life and work, Lawrence makes a persuasive case for the virtues of manliness—courage, resilience, godliness, and self-reliance among others. Lawrence challenges his fellow men to live up to their responsibilities as men and to fill the cultural void woke ideologues have been happy to exploit. In confronting the chaos of contemporary culture, Lawrence is forced to reexamine his own beliefs as he spurs an honest discussion about what it means to be a man in America. The book also includes candid, never-before-shared interviews conducted by Lawrence of his Fox News colleagues, like Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Pete Hegseth, Will Cain, as well as other prominent voices like NFL great Ben Watson and actor Dean Cain. This insightful and uncompromising book from one of the country’s fastest rising stars will enlighten and inspire readers—as it proves once and for all the crucial role men can and must play in American life today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665574Tue, 10 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665574 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised Author: James Pethokoukis Narrator: Séan Marrinan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Discover the surprising case for how conservatism can help us achieve the epic sci-fi future we were promised.   America was once the world’s dream factory. We turned imagination into reality, from curing polio to landing on the Moon to creating the internet. And we were confident that more wonders lay just over the horizon: clean and infinite energy, a cure for cancer, computers and robots as humanity’s great helpers, and space colonies. (Also, of course, flying cars.) Science fiction, from The Jetsons to Star Trek, would become fact.   But as we moved into the late 20th century, we grew cautious, even cynical, about what the future held and our ability to shape it. Too many of us saw only the threats from rapid change. The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the Great Downshift in technological progress and economic growth, followed by decades of economic stagnation, downsized dreams, and a popular culture fixated on catastrophe: AI that will take all our jobs if it doesn’t kill us first, nuclear war, climate chaos, plague and the zombie apocalypse. We are now at risk of another half-century of making the same mistakes and pushing a pro-progress future into the realm of impossibility.   But American Enterprise Institute (AEI) economic policy expert and long-time CNBC contributor James Pethokoukis argues that there’s still hope. We can absolutely turn things around—if we the people choose to dream and act. How dare we delay or fail to deliver for ourselves and our children.   With groundbreaking ideas and sharp analysis, Pethokoukis provides a detailed roadmap to a fantastic future filled with incredible progress and prosperity that is both optimistic and realistic. Through an exploration of culture, economics, and history, The Conservative Futurist tells the fascinating story of what went wrong in the past and what we need to do today to finally get it right. Using the latest economic research and policy analysis, as well as insights from top economists, historians, and technologists, Pethokoukis reveals that the failed futuristic visions of the past were totally possible. And they still are. If America is to fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, take full advantage of emerging tech from generative AI to CRISPR to reusable rockets, and launch itself into a shining tomorrow, it must again become a fully risk-taking, future-oriented society. It’s time for America to embrace the future confidently, act boldly, and take that giant leap forward.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665559Tue, 03 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665559 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Target Tehran: How Israel Is Using Sabotage, Cyberwarfare, Assassination – and Secret Diplomacy – to Stop a Nuclear Iran and Create a New Middle East Author: Yonah Jeremy Bob, Ilan Evyatar Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 11 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year/Politics Winner of the Jewish Book Council’s Natan Notable Book Prize “One of the most accurate and fascinating books so far” (Michael Bar-Zohar, coauthor of Mossad) about how Israel used sabotage, assassination, cyberwar—and diplomacy—to thwart Iran’s development of nuclear weapons and, in the process, begin to reshape the Middle East. Yonah Bob and Ilan Evyatar describe how Israel has used cyberwarfare, targeted assassinations, and sabotage of Iranian facilities to great effect, sometimes in cooperation with the United States. Even as it takes lethal action, Israel has managed to alter the politics of the Middle East, culminating in the Abraham Accords of 2020. Arab states such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalized relations with Israel, and the holy grail of normalization with Saudi Arabia may yet be achieved. Despite the war with Hamas, these Arab states share Israel’s concern with Iran, remaining silent while Israel undermines Iran’s nuclear program. Bob and Evyatar reveal how Israel has used documents stolen from Tehran in a daring, secret Mossad raid to show the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency how Iran has repeatedly violated the 2015 JCPOA nuclear agreement and lied about its active nuclear weapons program. Drawing from interviews with top confidential Israeli and US sources, including from the Mossad and the CIA, the authors tell the “thrilling” (Lt. Gen. H.R.

Many Americans have no idea how badly our largest, Democrat-run cities have deteriorated. We've been complacent for far too long, assuming that the craziest elements of the radical Left would stay confined to the East and West coasts. But crime, drug addiction, homelessness, left-wing school indoctrination, so-called inclusive housing policies, and outrageous taxes don’t stay within the big city limits of places like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco. The effects of ideologically driven left-wing policies always spread, which should alarm Americans regardless of their political leanings. Jason Rantz is a prominent radio host, a trusted journalist, and a frequent Fox News guest unafraid to go directly into the action. He’s grown a national following by breaking news the mainstream media won’t, covering the consequences of destructive leftist policies wherever they occur. He was right there for the chaos in his hometown of Seattle when liberal anarchists declared an autonomous, police-free “CHOP Zone.” He infiltrates the Antifa marches and knows firsthand how those radicals operate.  This is the shocking story of what he’s learned. Employing on-the-ground reporting and fact-based analysis, Rantz zooms out to conduct a fascinating detailed, data-driven study of how these liberal policies result in chaos, misery, and (too often) bloodshed.

Mounk has told the story of the Great Awokening better than any other writer who has attempted to make sense of it.” —The Washington Post 'An intellectual tour de force about the origins of identity politics and the threat it presents to genuine, honest, old-fashioned liberalism.” —Bret Stephens, The New York Times “Among the most insightful and important books written in the last decade on American democracy and its current torments, because it also shows us a way out of the trap.” —Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind, and coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind 'Outstanding.' —David Brooks, The New York Times One of our leading public intellectuals traces the origin of a set of ideas about identity and social justice that is rapidly transforming America—and explains why it will fail to accomplish its noble goals. For much of history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. It is no surprise that many who passionately believe in social justice came to believe that members of marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity to resist injustice. But over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minority groups has transformed into a counterproductive obsession with group identity in all its forms. A new ideology aiming to place each person’s matrix of identities at the center of social, cultural, and political life has quickly become highly influential. It stifles discourse, vilifies mutual influence as cultural appropriation, denies that members of different groups can truly understand one another, and insists that the way governments treat their citizens should depend on the color of their skin. This, Yascha Mounk argues, is the identity trap. Though those who battle for these ideas are full of good intentions, they will ultimately make it harder to achieve progress toward the genuine equality we desperately need. Mounk has built his acclaimed scholarly career on being one of the first to warn of the risks right-wing populists pose to American democracy. But, he shows, those on the left and center who are stuck in the identity trap are now inadvertent allies to the MAGA movement. In The Identity Trap, Mounk provides the most ambitious and comprehensive account to date of the origins, consequences, and limitations of so-called “wokeness.” He is the first to show how postmodernism, postcolonialism, and critical race theory forged the “identity synthesis” that conquered many college campuses by 2010. He lays out how a relatively marginal set of ideas came to gain tremendous influence in business, media, and government by 2020. He makes a nuanced philosophical case for why the application of these ideas to areas from education to public policy is proving to be so deeply counterproductive—and why universal, humanist values can best serve the vital goal of true equality.

'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain. From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history. With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history.

Sloan’s intimate portrait is a vivid, instructive tale for modern times.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-not-to-be-a-politician-a-memoir-by-rory-stewart--65205355https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667579 to listen full audiobooks. Title: How Not to Be a Politician: A Memoir Author: Rory Stewart Narrator: Rory Stewart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 21 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Named a Best Book of 2023 by Financial Times and Kirkus Reviews The #1 Sunday Times bestseller, published in the UK as Politics on the Edge. “One of the best books on politics our era will see . . . A book of astonishing literary quality.” —Matthew Parris, The TLS “[Rory Stewart] walked across Asia, served in British Parliament, and ran against Boris Johnson. Now he gives us his view of what’s wrong with politics, and how we can make it right.” —Adam Grant, “The 12 New Fall Books to Enrich Your Thinking” From a great writer—legendary for his expeditions into some of the world’s most forbidding places—a wise, honest, and sometimes absurdist memoir of a most remarkable journey through British politics at the breaking point Rory Stewart was an unlikely politician. He was best known for his two-year walk across Asia—in which he crossed Afghanistan, essentially solo, in the months after 9/11—and for his service, as a diplomat in Iraq, and Afghanistan. But in 2009, he abandoned his chair at Harvard University to stand for a seat in Parliament, representing the communities and farms of the Lake District and the Scottish border—one of the most isolated and beautiful districts in England. He ran as a Conservative, though he had no prior connection to the politics and there was much about the party that he disagreed with. How Not to Be a Politician is a candid and penetrating examination of life on the ground as a politician in an age of shallow populism, when every hard problem has a solution that’s simple, appealing, and wrong. While undauntedly optimistic about what a public servant can accomplish in the lives of his constituents, the book is also a pitiless insider’s exposé of the game of politics at the highest level, often shocking in its displays of rampant cynicism, ignorance, glibness, and sheer incompetence. Stewart witnesses Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and its descent into political civil war, compounded by the bad faith of his party’s leaders—David Cameron, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss. Finally, after nine years of service and six ministerial roles, and shocked by his party’s lurch to the populist right, Stewart ran for prime minister. Stewart’s campaign took him into the lead in the opinion polls, head-to-head against Boris Johnson. How Not to Be a Politician is his effort to make sense of it all, including what has happened to politics in Britain and the world and how we can fix it. The view into democracy’s dark heart is troubling, but at every turn Stewart also finds allies and ways to make a difference. A bracing, invigorating mix of irony and love infuses How Not to Be a Politician. This is one of the most revealing memoirs written by a politician in living memory.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667579Tue, 19 Sep 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667579 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Do Not Comply: Taking Power Back from America's Corrupt Elite Author: Will Witt Narrator: Will Witt, Dennis Prager Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 8 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From bestselling author Will Witt, this thought-provoking exposé shows readers how to break free from the control of America’s corrupt ruling class.   The America you grew up in is no longer here. Our country is in sharp decline. Yet we often fail to truly call out the culprits responsible for it. Who are the corrupters of our great country? They are politicians (both Democrat and Republican), they are businessmen, they are celebrities, they are media executives, they are scientists. They are the elite. And they are selfish.    In Do Not Comply, one of America’s most articulate and fastest rising political commentators on the right exposes the elite’s many lies holding America hostage. Witt persuasively explains how a corrupt ruling class has pitted us against each other in the name of “the greater good” and “building back better.” But the changes and programs they institute have only hurt us in the long run and have sent us spiraling to serfdom while the elites reap all the benefits.    Without fear or favor, the independent-minded Witt deconstructs the misguided policies and adventures of America’s political, pharmaceutical, tech, media, and financial institution elite – with surprising takeaways. Through systematically looking at the biggest issues used to divide us today, Witt answers these crucial questions about the future of America: How do the elite achieve their power? How do we fix the vexing problems in our society caused by this greed and selfishness? And how do we take our power back?    From one of America’s brightest young minds, this book is a must-read for citizens seeking the truth about who really controls the levers of power in our country. As we watch America descend toward moral and economic destruction, it’s tempting to believe we have no power to enact change. But we always have a choice—and it’s not too late. Do Not Comply is the first step towards righting the ship.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665606Tue, 19 Sep 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665606 to listen full audiobooks.

But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it? With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent framework for understanding these volatile times. They draw on a wealth of examples—from 1930s France to present-day Thailand—to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. They then show how our Constitution makes us uniquely vulnerable to attacks from within: It is a pernicious enabler of minority rule, allowing partisan minorities to consistently thwart and even rule over popular majorities. Most modern democracies—from Germany and Sweden to Argentina and New Zealand—have eliminated outdated institutions like elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifetime tenure for judges. The United States lags dangerously behind. In this revelatory book, Levitsky and Ziblatt issue an urgent call to reform our politics. It’s a daunting task, but we have remade our country before—most notably, after the Civil War and during the Progressive Era.

An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trailblazing political scientists Deep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, this network is the key source of American power on the global stage, more significant than its military might. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has built a new empire underground, through telecommunications and financial networks that the entire world relies upon, which has allowed it to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. And now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. A gripping and revelatory account of contemporary geopolitics, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance technologies and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge. ©2023 Abraham Newman (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667232Thu, 07 Sep 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667232 to listen full audiobooks.

Even those who resist Kaplan’s tragic sensibility have much to learn from his look at the emerging Middle East and its recent history.”—National Review FINALIST FOR THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB’S CORNELIUS RYAN AWARD The Greater Middle East, which Robert D. Kaplan defines as the vast region between the Mediterranean and China, encompassing much of the Arab world, parts of northern Africa, and Asia, existed for millennia as the crossroads of empire: Macedonian, Roman, Persian, Mongol, Ottoman, British, Soviet, American. But with the dissolution of empires in the twentieth century, postcolonial states have endeavored to maintain stability in the face of power struggles between factions, leadership vacuums, and the arbitrary borders drawn by exiting imperial rulers with little regard for geography or political groups on the ground. In the Loom of Time, Kaplan explores this broad, fraught space through reporting and travel writing to reveal deeper truths about the impacts of history on the present and how the requirements of stability over anarchy are often in conflict with the ideals of democratic governance.  In The Loom of Time, Kaplan makes the case for realism as an approach to the Greater Middle East. Just as Western attempts at democracy promotion across the Middle East have failed, a new form of economic imperialism is emerging today as China's ambitions fall squarely within the region as the key link between Europe and East Asia. As in the past, the Greater Middle East will be a register of future great power struggles across the globe. And like in the past, thousands of years of imperial rule will continue to cast a long shadow on politics as it is practiced today.  To piece together the history of this remarkable place and what it suggests for the future, Kaplan weaves together classic texts, immersive travel writing, and a great variety of voices from every country that all compel the reader to look closely at the realities on the ground and to prioritize these facts over ideals on paper.

And like in the past, thousands of years of imperial rule will continue to cast a long shadow on politics as it is practiced today.  To piece together the history of this remarkable place and what it suggests for the future, Kaplan weaves together classic texts, immersive travel writing, and a great variety of voices from every country that all compel the reader to look closely at the realities on the ground and to prioritize these facts over ideals on paper. The Loom of Time is a challenging, clear-eyed book that promises to reframe our vision of the global twenty-first century.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/tyranny-inc-how-private-power-crushed-american-liberty-and-what-to-do-about-it-by-sohrab-ahmari--65205348https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669337 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Tyranny, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty--and What to Do About It Author: Sohrab Ahmari Narrator: Sohrab Ahmari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 30 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The inside story of how our political class enabled an era of unaccountable corporate might that left ordinary Americans isolated and powerless—and how we can fight back—from the acclaimed author of The Unbroken Thread “In Tyranny, Inc., Sohrab Ahmari, one of the leading thinkers of our time, alerts us to one of the greatest threats to freedom.”—Michael Lind, author of The New Class War and Hell to Pay Over the past two generations, U.S. leaders deregulated big business on the faith that it would yield a better economy and a freer society. But the opposite happened. Americans lost stable, well-paying jobs, Wall Street dominated industry to the detriment of the middle class and local communities, and corporations began to subject us to total surveillance, even dictating what we are, and aren’t, allowed to think. The corporate titans and mega-donors who aligned themselves with this vision knew exactly what they were getting: perfect conditions for what Sohrab Ahmari calls “private tyranny”. Drawing on original reporting and a growing chorus of experts who are sounding the alarm, Ahmari chronicles how private tyranny has eroded America’s productive economy and the liberties we take for granted—from employment agreements that gag whistleblowers, to Big Finance’s takeover of local fire departments, to the rigging of corporate bankruptcy to deny justice to workers and consumers—illuminating how these and other developments have left millions feeling that our livelihoods are insecure. And he shows how ordinary Americans can fight back, by restoring the economic democracy that empowered and uplifted millions of working-class people in the twentieth century. Provocative, original, and cutting across partisan lines, Tyranny, Inc. is a revelatory read on the most important political story of our time.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669337Tue, 15 Aug 2023 01:22:05 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669337 to listen full audiobooks.

By drawing these connections, Carolyn Woods Eisenberg brings to life policy decisions about Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, conveying their significance to a new generation of readers.

She argues that in their desperate effort to overcome, or at least overshadow, their failure in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger made major concessions to both nations in the field of arms control, their response to the India-Pakistan war, and the diplomacy surrounding Taiwan—much of this secret.

That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past. With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat. What sounds like a political thriller—from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Despite extensive media and academic scrutiny, the conventional wisdom about China's economy is often wrong. Cracking the China Conundrum provides a holistic and contrarian view of China's major economic, political, and foreign policy issues. Yukon Huang trenchantly addresses widely accepted yet misguided views in the analysis of China's economy. Huang explains that misconceptions arise in part because China's economic system is unprecedented in many ways—namely because it's driven by both the market and state—which complicates the task of designing accurate and adaptable analysis and research. Further, China's size, regional diversity, and uniquely decentralized administrative system poses difficulties for making generalizations and comparisons from micro to macro levels when trying to interpret China's economic state accurately. This book not only interprets the ideologies that experts continue building misguided theories upon, but also examines the contributing factors to this puzzle.

It's wrong in principle and it doesn't work in practice. (And no, it's not good for tourism.) But it doesn't have to be this way. They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there's an elephant in the room. At the heart of power is a single family. They weren't elected but they live off the public purse. They aren't accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution - but we're also told he wouldn't dream of interfering in politics. If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws.

It's wrong in principle and it doesn't work in practice. (And no, it's not good for tourism.) But it doesn't have to be this way. They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there's an elephant in the room. At the heart of power is a single family. They weren't elected but they live off the public purse. They aren't accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution - but we're also told he wouldn't dream of interfering in politics. If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don't have to accept it.

Title: Why Congress Author: Phillip A. Wallach Narrator: Brian Wiggins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: May 30, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Like it or not, our country’s future depends on Congress. The Founding Fathers made a representative, deliberative legislature the indispensable pillar of the American constitutional system, giving it more power and responsibility than any other branch of government. Yet today, contempt for Congress is nearly universal. To a large extent, even members of Congress themselves are unable to explain and defend the value of their institution. Why Congress takes on this challenge squarely, explaining why our increasingly divided politics demand a legislature capable of pitting factions against each other and forcing them to work out accommodations. This book covers the past, present, and future of the institution to understand how it has become so dysfunctional, but also to suggest how it might be restored. Philip Wallach vividly shows how a healthy Congress made it possible for the country to work through some of its most difficult challenges, including World War II and the struggle for civil rights. But transformations that began in the 1970s ultimately empowered congressional leaders to suppress dissent within their own parties and frame a maximally divisive agenda. In stark contrast to the earlier episodes, where legislators secured durable political resolutions, in facing contemporary challenges, such as immigration and COVID-19, Congress has exacerbated divisions rather than searching for compromises with broad appeal. But Congress’ power to organize itself suggests a way out. Wallach deftly explains that while Congress could accept its descent into decrepitude or cede its power to the president, a Madisonian revival of deliberation can yet restore our system of government’s ability to work through deep divides.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660844Tue, 30 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660844 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Origins of Victory: How Disruptive Military Innovation Determines the Fates of Great Powers Author: Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr Narrator: Adam Barr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This book by military strategist Andrew F. Krepinevich, Jr., is the definitive take on the race for military dominance in the twenty-first century. It shows how militaries that successfully pursue disruptive innovation can gain a major advantage over their rivals, while those that fail to do so risk exposing their countries to great danger. The Precision Warfare Revolution, introduced by the US military in the First Gulf War, found the United States enjoying a near monopoly in this form of warfare for several decades. But now other powers have these capabilities. The US military also confronts an emerging military revolution driven by advances across a wide range of technologies—from artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to quantum computing and additive manufacturing. To stay competitive, the US military must pursue disruptive innovation in a race with other militaries to exploit war's changing character. Clues exist as to the winner's identity. They are revealed by militaries that went beyond the bounds of mere innovation to overturn the existing forms of warfare, changing the course of history and the fate of nations. Through exploring their experiences, Krepinevich shows how the US military can win the race to identify and exploit the 'next big thing' in warfare.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659981Tue, 23 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659981 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China's Superpower Future Author: Chun Han Wong Narrator: Feodor Chin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 20 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From one of the most admired reporters covering China today, a vital new account of the life and political vision of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of the People’s Republic whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies. Party of One shatters the many myths that shroud one of the world’s most secretive political organizations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi during his early years in power, projecting their own hopes that he would steer China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics. Having masked his beliefs while climbing the party hierarchy, Xi has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a cult of personality around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits—stirring fears of a return to a Mao-style dictatorship. Today, the party of Xi favors political zeal over technical expertise, trumpets its faith in Marxism, and proclaims its reach into every corner of Chinese society with Xi portraits and hammer-and-sickle logos. Under Xi, China has challenged Western preeminence in global affairs and cast its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation. As a China reporter for The Wall Street Journal, Chun Han Wong has chronicled Xi Jinping’s hard-line strategy for crushing dissent against his strongman rule, his political repression in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, and his increasingly coercive efforts to reel in the island democracy of Taiwan, as well as the domestic and diplomatic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. When the Chinese government refused to renew Wong’s press credentials and forced him to leave mainland China in 2019, he moved to Hong Kong to continue covering Chinese politics and its autocratic turn under Xi. Now, Wong has drawn on his years of firsthand reporting across China—including conversations with party insiders, insights from scholars and diplomats, and analyses of official speeches and documents—to create a lucid and historically rooted account of China’s leader and how he inspires fear and fervor in his party, his nation, and beyond. “A penetrating and timely unraveling of the personality and impact of a strongman president” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) Party of One explains how the future Xi imagines for China will reshape the future of the entire world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659770Tue, 23 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659770 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Politics: A Survivor's Guide: How to Stay Engaged without Getting Enraged Author: Rafael Behr Narrator: Rafael Behr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: On New Year's Eve 2019, Rafael Behr had what is clinically known as a massive bloody heart attack. In part, it was the result of his compulsive relationship with politics, working as a journalist in Westminster, on the front line of bitter information wars. When he was discharged from hospital, he asked himself how he would ever re-engage with politics - how would he care enough to write about it - without the stress? Something had to change. In 2021, Rafael published an essay about that experience and some of the lessons he had learned. The response was overwhelming. Well over 250,000 people read the article online on the first day it appeared. Within hours of publication, he had raised thousands of pounds for his local heart charity. Messages poured in from strangers, colleagues and Westminster contacts. They recognised Rafael's account of toxic politics. This book is both an unflinching account of the disease in our politics and an upbeat look for the cure. As Rafael says, to change the way we do politics we need to understand the failure at its heart - the bad habits and toxic diet of rage and misinformation that obstruct the flow of trust and decency that are essential for a functioning democracy. The story involves encounters with politicians, internet trolls, tech giants, Kremlin-sponsored robots, some neuroscientists and a lot of ordinary voters. It is also a personal journey, charting how one heart failed under the weight of broken politics - and how it recovered.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/663303Thu, 04 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/663303 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Merchants of the Right: Gun Sellers and the Crisis of American Democracy Author: Jennifer Carlson Narrator: Jennifer Cole Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 51 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Jennifer Cole paints an eye-opening portrait of the gun sellers who navigated the social turmoil leading up to the January 6 Capitol attack Gun sellers sell more than just guns. They also sell politics. Merchants of the Right sheds light on the unparalleled surge in gun purchasing during one of the most dire moments in American history, revealing how conservative political culture was galvanized amid a once-in-a-century pandemic, racial unrest, and a U.S. presidential election that rocked the foundations of American democracy. Drawing on a wealth of in-depth interviews with gun sellers across the United States, Jennifer Carlson takes readers to the front lines of the culture war over gun rights. Even though the majority of gun owners are conservative, new gun buyers are more likely to be liberal than existing gun owners. This posed a dilemma to gun sellers in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election: embrace these liberal customers as part of a new, perhaps post-partisan chapter in the American gun saga or double down on gun politics as conservative terrain. Carlson describes how gun sellers mobilized mainstays of modern conservative culture—armed individualism, conspiracism, and partisanship—as they navigated the uncertainty and chaos unfolding around them, asserting gun politics as conservative politics and reworking and even rejecting liberal democracy in the process. Merchants of the Right offers crucial lessons about the dilemmas confronting us today, arguing that we must reckon with the everyday politics that divide us if we ever hope to restore American democracy to health.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669448Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:05 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669448 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Democracy Unmoored: Populism and the Corruption of Popular Sovereignty Author: Samuel Issacharoff Narrator: Stephen Caffrey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 9 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The 2016 election of Donald Trump focused people's minds on populism, and most of the attention paid to the subject since has been on the threat it poses to wealthy democracies. In Democracy Unmoored, Samuel Issacharoff takes a far wider-angle view of the phenomenon, covering countries from across the globe: Brazil, Poland, Argentina, Turkey, India, Hungary, Venezuela, and more. Just as importantly, he focuses on populism's attack on the institutions of governance. Democracy requires two critical features: first, a commitment to repeat play such that political actors understand that what goes around comes around; and, second, institutional constraints so that the majority can prevail, albeit not by too much. Democracies must avoid the doomsday scenario in which the contending parties see the next election as the final choice between salvation and perdition. Issacharoff shows how populist governance undermines each of these two critical underpinnings of stable democracy, first by compressing the time horizon to the immediate, and second by eroding institutional constraints on strongman rule. At the same time, Issacharoff highlights the fact that ascendent populists were pushing in an open door as they found democracies in states of disrepair in the post-2008 world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/668793Tue, 25 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/668793 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Seven Deadly Sins of White Christian Nationalism: A Call to Action Author: Carter Heyward Narrator: Rosemary Benson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Hear the call to overcome today's culture of hate and bring healing and hope into our life together. While right-wing conservatives dare to call themselves Christians as they tear down equality and justice, commit horrific acts of violence, and fan the flames of fascism in America, Carter Heyward issues a call to action for Christians to truly hear God's message of peace and love. Heyward shows how American Christians have played a major role in building and securing structures of injustice in American life. Rising tides of white supremacy, threats to women's reproductive freedoms and to basic human rights for gender and sexual minorities, the widening divide between rich and poor, and increasing natural disasters and the extinction of Earth's species—all point to a world crying out for God's wisdom. Followers of Jesus must first call out these ingrained and sinful attitudes for what they are, acknowledging what the culture of white Christian nationalism is doing to our country and our world, and commit ourselves ever more fully to generating justice-love, whoever and wherever we are.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657305Tue, 18 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657305 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Democracy: A Guided Tour Author: Jason Brennan Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In this short, accessible book, leading democratic theorist Jason Brennan guides listeners through the evolution of the concept of democracy and actual democratic practice over time to help them understand the foundations of this longstanding and yet newly fragile political system. In his wide-ranging tour of the concept, Brennan will examine what democracy meant to the Greeks who first developed the concept before examining how it changed throughout European and later Western history. This will open up rich and perplexing questions. Over time, democracy shifted from being a fringe idea to the gold standard of political institutions: how did this change occur? How did the question of who counts as part of the ruling 'people' change over time? As monarchies were replaced with democracies, what did theorists think the promises and perils of republican democracy were? How did actual democratic practice change the debates? What have we learned about how democracy functions—and in some cases, doesn't function—and what does this mean for future philosophical or empirical work? Brennan provides a curated, guided tour of the most important arguments for and against democracy, looking through the core values of stability, virtue, wisdom, freedom, and equality. The goal is to help listeners understand what is really at stake in democracy and its alternatives.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659908Tue, 18 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659908 to listen full audiobooks.

Drug deals dominate street corners, and ruthless, casual violence abounds.Montana Barronette grew up in the center of it all. He was the leader of the gang “Trained to Go,” or TTG, and when he was finally arrested and sentenced to life in prison, he had been labeled “Baltimore’s Number One Trigger Puller.” Under Tana’s reign, TTG dominated Sandtown. After a string of murders are linked to TTG, each with dozens of witnesses too intimidated to testify, three detectives set out to put Tana in prison for life.

An acclaimed journalist who spent his youth in the white suburbs of Baltimore, Mark Bowden returns to the city with exclusive access to the FBI files and unprecedented insight into one of the city’s deadliest gangs and its notorious leader.

Title: The Return of Resentment: The Rise and Decline and Rise Again of a Political Emotion Author: Robert A. Schneider Narrator: Christopher Grove Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 12 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The term 'resentment' has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does 'resentment' describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying 'anger'? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? In The Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century. Schneider illustrates how resentment has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity—how it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition. Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659983Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659983 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Madison's Militia: The Hidden History of the Second Amendment Author: Carl T. Bogus Narrator: Alan Peterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 26 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Madison’s Militia, Carl T. Bogus illuminates why James Madison and the First Congress included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights. Linking together dramatic accounts of slave uprisings and electric debates over whether the Constitution should be ratified, Bogus shows that—contrary to conventionalwisdom—the fitting symbol of the Second Amendment is not the musket in the hands of the minuteman on Lexington Green but the musket wielded by a slave patrol member in the South.Bogus begins with a dramatic rendering of the showdown in Virginia between James Madison and his Federalist allies, who were arguing for ratification of the new Constitution, and Patrick Henry and the Antifederalists, who opposed it.Henry accused Madison of supporting a constitution that empowered Congress to disarm the militia, on which the South relied for slave control. The narrative then proceeds to the First Congress, where Madison had to make good on a congressional campaign promise to write a Bill of Rights—and seizing that opportunity to solve the problem Henry had raised.Three other collections of stories—on slave insurrections, Revolutionary War battles, and the English Declaration of Rights—are skillfully woven into the narrative and show how arming ragtag militias was never the primary goal of the amendment. And as the puzzle pieces come together, even initially skeptical readers will be surprised by the completed picture: one that forcefully demonstrates that the Second Amendment was intended in the first instance to protect slaveholders from the people they owned.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660889Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660889 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Global in the Local: A Century of War, Commerce, and Technology in China Author: Xin Zhang Narrator: David Lee Huynh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 36 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family members. British observers decried an 'Asian culture' of ritual suicide. In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local and global forces in nineteenth-century China. Xin Zhang's groundbreaking history examines the intense negotiations between local societies and global changes that created modern China. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, world-historic political, economic, and technological developments transformed the textures of everyday life in places like Zhenjiang, a midsize river town in China's prosperous Lower Yangzi region. Drawing on rare primary sources, including handwritten diaries and other personal writings, Zhang offers a ground-level view of globalization in the city. Far from passive recipients, the Chinese leveraged, resisted, and made change for themselves.

The Global in the Local argues that globalization is inevitably refracted through local particularities.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-individualists-radicals-reactionaries-and-the-struggle-for-the-soul-of-libertarianism-by-matt-zwolinski-john-tomasi--65205318https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669450 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Individualists: Radicals, Reactionaries, and the Struggle for the Soul of Libertarianism Author: Matt Zwolinski, John Tomasi Narrator: Leon Nixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 26 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Leon Nixon traces the history of libertarian thought from radical anarchists to conservative defenders of the status quo Libertarianism emerged in the mid-nineteenth century with an unwavering commitment to progressive causes, from women's rights and the fight against slavery to anti-colonialism and Irish emancipation. Today, this movement founded on the principle of individual liberty finds itself divided by both progressive and reactionary elements vying to claim it as their own. The Individualists is the untold story of a political doctrine continually reshaped by fierce internal tensions, bold and eccentric personalities, and shifting political circumstances. Matt Zwolinski and John Tomasi trace the history of libertarianism from its origins as a radical progressive ideology in the 1850s to its crisis of identity today. They examine the doctrine's evolution through six defining themes: private property, skepticism of authority, free markets, individualism, spontaneous order, and individual liberty. They show how the movement took a turn toward conservativism during the Cold War, when the dangers of communism at home and abroad came to dominate libertarian thinking. Zwolinski and Tomasi reveal a history that is wider, more diverse, and more contentious than many of us realize. A groundbreaking work of scholarship, The Individualists uncovers the neglected roots of a movement that has championed the poor and marginalized since its founding, but whose talk of equal liberty has often been bent to serve the interests of the rich and powerful.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669450Tue, 04 Apr 2023 01:22:05 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669450 to listen full audiobooks.

Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), der seinerzeit einer der drei reichsten Amerikaner war, schrieb einen der ersten Ratgeber für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: 'The Empire of Business'.

Als armes Einwandererkind aus Schottland war er geradezu Sinnbild für den Mythos des 'From rags to riches': Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär.

Ritchie Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Donald A. Ritchie, a congressional historian for forty years, takes listeners on a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tour of Capitol Hill, pointing out the key players, explaining their behavior, and translating parliamentary language into plain English. He also explores the essential necessity of compromise to accomplish anything significant in the legislative arena. However, recent events show that political polarization has hardened and produced gridlock. The 2020 election also produced a more diverse membership in terms of gender, ethnicity, religion, and ideology, with primary elections resulting in the defeat of moderate candidates, making bipartisan compromise harder to achieve. Among the most significant events, the Senate ignored President Obama's last nomination to the Supreme Court and then adopted a 'nuclear option' to streamline future Supreme Court confirmations. The House also twice impeached President Trump, processes that starkly expose the differences between the majority-rule requirements of the House and the super-majority requirements of the Senate.

But the drift toward authoritarianism in red states has far deeper roots. We now have a country where tens of millions of people live under regimes that have spent years starving education and health care, empowering polluters, engaging in voter suppression, and neglecting their citizens' well-being in the interest of cutting taxes for the wealthy. In States of Neglect, journalist William Kleinknecht surveys the landscape of neglect in states including Texas, Florida, and Arizona through the experiences of a rich cast of characters. He visits environmental dead zones in the Texas Gulf region. He investigates Arizona's abandonment of public education and its corrupt charter school industry. He shows how Mississippi's denuded health care system has made the Magnolia State the sickest in the nation. And he explains how North Carolina allows its people to sink into poverty while catering to the needs of corporations. As a postscript, Kleinknecht proposes how progressive states on either coast might join in a compact of 'progressive federalism' that uses their superior economic and cultural resources to counter the influence of the far right.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657755Tue, 28 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657755 to listen full audiobooks.

Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the 'small tent' approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for 'big tent' remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice.

She recieved a rifle for Christmas and a month later set her sights and opens fire on the elementary school across the street. The event is forever glorified by the song 'I Don’t Like Mondays' by The Boomtown Rats and marks the bloody beginning of the American phenomenon of school shootings. Long before Columbine and Sandy Hook, there was Brenda Spencer . . . I Don't Like Mondays: The True Story of America's First Modern School Shooting sifts through the mythology that has sprung up around this fateful day, presenting the raw and riveting facts for the first time. N. Leigh Hunt spent years researching and uncovering shocking details from officers, investigators, and lost police dispatches. He has interviewed people who were on the scene and local reporters who spoke with the perpetrator directly after her shooting spree.

Calls for bold change are everywhere these days, particularly on social media. But is this actually the best way to make the world a better place?In Gradual, Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox argue that, contrary to the aspirations of activists on both the right and the left, incremental reform is the best path forward. They begin by emphasizing that the very structure of American government explicitly and implicitly favors incrementalism. Particularly in a time of intense polarization, any effort to advance radical change will inevitably engender significant backlash. As Berman and Fox make clear, polling shows little public support for bold change. The public is, however, willing to endorse a broad range of incremental reforms that, if implemented, would reduce suffering and improve fairness. To illustrate how incremental changes can add up to significant change over time, Berman and Fox provide portraits of “heroic incrementalists” who have produced meaningful reforms in a variety of areas, from the expansion of Social Security to more recent efforts to reduce crime and incarceration.Gradual is a bracing call for a “radical realism” that prioritizes honesty, humility, nuance, and respect in an effort to transcend political polarization and reduce the conflict produced by social media.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660841Tue, 28 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/660841 to listen full audiobooks.

Bell Narrator: Wynt Woody Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Wyntner Woody provides an inside view of Chinese academia and what it reveals about China's political system On January 1, 2017, Daniel Bell was appointed dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University—the first foreign dean of a political science faculty in mainland China's history. In The Dean of Shandong, Bell chronicles his experiences as what he calls 'a minor bureaucrat,' offering an inside account of the workings of Chinese academia and what they reveal about China's political system. It wasn't all smooth sailing—Bell wryly recounts sporadic bungles and misunderstandings—but Bell's post as dean provides a unique vantage point on China today. Bell, neither a Chinese citizen nor a member of the Chinese Communist Party, was appointed as dean because of his scholarly work on Confucianism—but soon found himself coping with a variety of issues having little to do with scholarship or Confucius. These include the importance of hair color and the prevalence of hair-dyeing among university administrators, both male and female; Shandong's drinking culture, with endless toasts at every shared meal; and some unintended consequences of an intensely competitive academic meritocracy. As dean, he also confronts weightier matters: the role at the university of the Party secretary, the national anticorruption campaign and its effect on academia (Bell asks provocatively, 'What's wrong with corruption?'), and formal and informal modes of censorship. Considering both the revival of Confucianism in China over the last three decades and what he calls 'the Communist comeback' since 2008, Bell predicts that China's political future is likely to be determined by both Confucianism and Communism.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669451Tue, 28 Mar 2023 01:22:05 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669451 to listen full audiobooks.

Considering both the revival of Confucianism in China over the last three decades and what he calls 'the Communist comeback' since 2008, Bell predicts that China's political future is likely to be determined by both Confucianism and Communism.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-mit-hypnose-zu-mentaler-klarheit-fokus-mehr-gelassenheit-by-norman-wiehe--65205336https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669513 to listen full audiobooks.

Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), der seinerzeit einer der drei reichsten Amerikaner war, schrieb einen der ersten Ratgeber für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: 'The Empire of Business'. In diesem Bestseller erklärt er, wie man es nach oben schaffen kann – und begründete damit das Genre der 'How-to'-Literatur. Als armes Einwandererkind aus Schottland war er geradezu Sinnbild für den Mythos des 'From rags to riches': Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär. 'Über das Sparen' ist ein hochinteressanter Einblick in die Gedankenwelt eines Mannes, der in der Zeit der rasch fortschreitenden Industrialisierung hyperreich wurde – und seine unumstößlichen Überzeugungen mit anderen teilen wollte, da seiner Meinung nach finanzieller Wohlstand für einen jeden erreichbar war, der ihn unbedingt wollte.

Title: Scalia: Rise to Greatness: 1936 - 1986 Author: James Rosen Narrator: John Mclain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 32 minutes Release date: March 7, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The bestselling historian and journalist James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the brilliant and combative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, whose philosophy and judicial opinions defined our legal era. With SCALIA: Rise to Greatness, 1936–1986, the opening installment in a two-volume biography, acclaimed reporter and bestselling historian James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the life of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose singular career in government—including three decades on the Supreme Court—shaped American law and society in the twenty-first century. A decade in the making, Rise to Greatness tells the story of the kid from Queens who became the first Italian American on the Court and one of the most profoundly influential figures of our time. This volume takes us from Scalia’s birth to his ascension to the Court, providing a fresh and probing look at his Catholic upbringing and education; his stints in academia and published works, some of them obscure and long-overlooked; and his service in the Nixon and Ford administrations, when Scalia played a central role in reforming the U.S. intelligence community and in the approval of sensitive covert operations.   Deeply researched and based on unparalleled access to documentary and personal sources, and written with an intellectual rigor and wit befitting its subject, Rosen’s narrative reads like a novel while presenting startling new insight into the life, mind, career, faith, and legacy of the man whom family and friends called “Nino.” The result is a compelling portrait of an American legend with whom the author personally corresponded, broke bread, drank wine, and braved the streets of the capital as a (nervous) passenger in the justice’s famously speedy BMW. Rosen has unearthed previously unpublished writing from every phase of Scalia’s career, including private Supreme Court emails, and has interviewed Scalia’s family, classmates, students, colleagues from the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations, priests, poker buddies, hunting companions, and fellow judges and justices.  Rise to Greatness is a landmark of modern biography, a rich and moving study, accessible to lay readers, that brings to life a towering figure of American history. It is the book Scalia fans, and all citizens interested in history and the law, have long awaited.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667917Tue, 07 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667917 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Andrew Carnegie: Das gemeinschaftliche Interesse von Arbeit und Kapital: Eine Ansprache an Arbeiter bei der Eröffnung der Carnegie-Bibliothek in Braddock, Pennsylvania Author: Andrew Carnegie Narrator: Jürgen Fritsche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 38 minutes Release date: March 3, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'Auf Grund einer nicht unbeträchtlichen Erfahrung stelle ich hier fest: der Kapitalist kennt die Rechte und Ansprüche des Arbeiters nicht, und der Arbeiter kennt die Nöte und Gefahren der Kapitalisten nicht. Darin liegt die wahre Ursache aller zwischen beiden aufkommenden Reibungen.' Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), der seinerzeit einer der drei reichsten Amerikaner war, schrieb einen der ersten Ratgeber für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: 'The Empire of Business'. In diesem Bestseller erklärt er, wie man es nach oben schaffen kann – und begründete damit das Genre der 'How-to'-Literatur. Als armes Einwandererkind aus Schottland war er geradezu Sinnbild für den Mythos des 'From rags to riches': Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär. 'Das gemeinschaftliche Interesse von Arbeit und Kapital' ist eine Rede, die er einst vor Arbeitern seines Unternehmens anlässlich der Eröffnung einer von ihm gestifteten Bibliothek in Pennsylvania hielt. Ein faszinierendes Zeitdokument, das die Sichtweise eine Self-made-Milliardärs aus den Boomzeiten der Industrialisierung schildert!]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-30-minuten-johann-wolfgang-von-goethes-iphigenie-auf-tauris-weltliteratur-kompakt-schneller-horen-mehr-wissen-by-johann-w--65205323https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/669494 to listen full audiobooks.

A.S. Dulat is the first to do so, and in A Life in the Shadows he does it with considerable elan. He is one of India's most successful spymasters, his name synonymous with the Kashmir issue. His methods of engagement and accommodation with all people and perspectives from India's most conflicted state are legendary. The author of two bestselling books, Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years (2014) and The Spy Chronicles: R&AW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace (2018), Dulat's views on India, Pakistan and Kashmir are well-known and sought after. Yet very little is known about him, primarily because the former spymaster has been notoriously private about his personal life. In this unusual and unique memoir, Dulat breaks that silence for the first time. This is not a traditional, linear narrative as much as a selection of stories from across space and time. Still bound by the rules of secrecy of his trade, he tells a fascinating story of a life richly lived and insightfully observed. From a Partition-bloodied childhood in Lahore and New Delhi to his early years as a young intelligence officer; from meetings with international spymasters to travels around the world; from his observations on Kashmir-political and personal-post the abrogation of Article 370, to his encounters with world leaders, politicians and celebrities; moving from Bhopal to Nepal and from Kashmir to China, Dulat tells the story of his life with remarkable honesty, verve and wit.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/663155Wed, 22 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/663155 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Against Democracy Author: Jason Brennan Narrator: Christopher Ragland Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 54 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A classic book now available on audio With narration by Christopher Ragland, who presents a bracingly provocative critique of one of our most cherished ideas and institutions Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But Jason Brennan says they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough. Just as defendants have a right to a fair trial, citizens have a right to competent government. But democracy is the rule of the ignorant and the irrational, and it all too often falls short. Furthermore, no one has a fundamental right to any share of political power, and exercising political power does most of us little good. On the contrary, a wide range of social science research shows that political participation and democratic deliberation actually tend to make people worse—more irrational, biased, and mean. Given this grim picture, Brennan argues that a new system of government—epistocracy, the rule of the knowledgeable—may be better than democracy, and that it's time to experiment and find out. A challenging critique of democracy and the first sustained defense of the rule of the knowledgeable, Against Democracy is essential reading for scholars and students of politics across the disciplines.

For four intense days, the prisoners held the guards hostage while their leaders negotiated with a citizens’ committee of journalists and lawyers, drawing attention to the dehumanizing realities of their incarceration, including overcrowding, harsh punishment and extreme isolation. But when another group of convicts turned their pent-up rage towards some of the weakest prisoners, tensions inside the old stone walls erupted, with tragic consequences. As heavily armed soldiers prepared to regain control of the prison through a full military assault, the inmates were finally forced to surrender. Murder on the Inside tells the harrowing story of a prison in crisis against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in the history of human rights. Occurring just months before the uprising at Attica Prison, the Kingston riot has remained largely undocumented, and few have known the details—yet the tense drama chronicled here is more relevant today than ever.

SE TRATA DE UN GENERAL DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS METIDO CON EL NARCOTRÁFICO. Hablo de un general muy importante. La DEA lo ha investigado y tiene pruebas en su contra… CREO QUE LE DICEN EL PADRINO.» El 15 de octubre de 2020, el arresto del general SalvadorCienfuegos Zepeda en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, California, sacudió las estructuras del poder militar en México. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos lo acusaba de usar su rango para ofrecer protección al Cártel de Sinaloa, así como de recibir sobornos millonarios y estar coludido con dicha organización criminal para el trasiego de drogas. La denominada “Operación Padrino” era la investigación internacional más sólida y contundente sobre un militar mexicano relacionado directamente con el narcotráfico. Pese a esto, nadie en el gobierno de México supo de lo que las autoridades estadounidenses tenían entre manos hasta la detención del general. J. Jesús Esquivel —corresponsal en Washington, D.

SE TRATA DE UN GENERAL DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS METIDO CON EL NARCOTRÁFICO. Hablo de un general muy importante. La DEA lo ha investigado y tiene pruebas en su contra… CREO QUE LE DICEN EL PADRINO.» El 15 de octubre de 2020, el arresto del general SalvadorCienfuegos Zepeda en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, California, sacudió las estructuras del poder militar en México. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos lo acusaba de usar su rango para ofrecer protección al Cártel de Sinaloa, así como de recibir sobornos millonarios y estar coludido con dicha organización criminal para el trasiego de drogas. La denominada “Operación Padrino” era la investigación internacional más sólida y contundente sobre un militar mexicano relacionado directamente con el narcotráfico. Pese a esto, nadie en el gobierno de México supo de lo que las autoridades estadounidenses tenían entre manos hasta la detención del general. J. Jesús Esquivel —corresponsal en Washington, D.

Much like the very core the freedom struggle was built on, they saw India as a demographically, culturally and historically cohesive and unified nation - as Bharat.In this book, senior BJP leader and cabinet minister Bhupender Yadav and leading economist Ila Patnaik come together to trace the BJP's journey from its humble roots, through ups and downs and to eventually getting 303 seats in Lok Sabha in 2019 and becoming the world's largest political party. While focusing on the larger economics and political story, the book encapsulates many smaller, yet hugely significant stories of individuals and incidents, which brought the BJP to where it stands now.For the first time ever, The Rise of the BJP, tells us the inside story of how one of the most powerful political parties makes decisions, implements ideas and executes policy.

En enero de 2021, el presidente de México, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, tuvo que ausentarse durante dos semanas de sus labores oficiales para recibir tratamiento debido a una infección causadapor covid-19. Aunque se recuperó satisfactoriamente, las dudas y especulaciones no tardaron en aparecer: ¿qué pasaría si el presidente quedara incapacitado por la enfermedad, confinado a una cama de hospital y a un respirador, o si hubiera sido una más de los cientos de miles de víctimas mortales de este virus? Estas y otras preguntasapuntan a un tema por largo tiempo soslayado en la labor legislativa de nuestro país: la suplencia presidencial. En este libro, José Manuel Villalpando aborda el problema de manera minuciosa, nutriéndose tanto del derecho como de la historia para adentrarnos en los vericuetos legales que operarían en el caso de que la presidencia de nuestro país quedara vacante por cualquier razón. En el proceso, resalta los difíciles momentos políticos que el país vivió cuando fue necesario afrentar la sucesión presidencial: Santa Anna, Juárez, Porfirio Díaz, Madero y el Maximato de Plutarco Elías Calles, entre otros casos sonados, y documenta las fallas y omisiones de un proceso constitucional que no ha recibido toda la importancia que merece.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659844Thu, 09 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659844 to listen full audiobooks.

El trabajo de Kaleck lo ha llevado a Buenos Aires, a apoyar a las madres de los jóvenes 'desaparecidos' bajo la dictadura militar argentina; a las comunidades sirias exiliadas, donde instrumentó el caso contra la tortura ordenada por los altos mandos del gobierno de Assad; a Centroamérica, donde colaboró con quienes persiguen a los militares guatemaltecos por sus masacres de indígenas; a Nueva York, para asociarse con el Centro de Derechos Constitucionales para emprender acciones contra Donald Rumsfeld por las ''técnicas de interrogatorio mejoradas'' que autorizó después del 11 de septiembre; y a Moscú, donde representa a Edward Snowden. Al relatar su participación en tales casos, Kaleck le da plena voz a aquellos a quienes representa, enfatizando el coraje y la persistencia que aportan a la búsqueda global de justicia.

Title: [Spanish] - El empresariado inconsciente: ¿Qué son la desigualdad y la pobreza para los dueños del dinero? Author: Hernán Gómez Bruera Narrator: Rubén Hernández Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ¿Cómo conciben los empresarios la desigualdad y la pobreza? ¿Piensan igual unos y otros sobre estos problemas? ¿Qué tan conscientes están de que también pueden afectarles a ellos? ¿Están dispuestos a actuar y asumir responsabilidades para erradicar la miseria? ¿Aceptarían pagar más impuestos para instrumentar políticas que lo permitan? En México, y en general en América Latina, las élites empresariales ejercen una enorme influencia en la definición de políticas públicas, y han evidenciado su enorme poder para facilitar u obstaculizar determinadas acciones de gobierno. En esa medida, son un factor determinante en las posibilidades de éxito o fracaso de un gobierno y su proyecto político. Sin embargo, el empresariado no es un ente homogéneo ni tampoco actúa desde una sola posición. No todos son multimillonarios, gozan de los mismos privilegios ni reciben el mismo trato por parte del poder público. Por ello, resulta primordial conocer las diversas visiones y posturas de sus integrantes frente a distintos temas sociales. Con esto en mente, Hernan Gómez Bruera entrevistó a 200 empresarios medianos y grandes de México y tres países centroamericanos, con la intención de entender en qué medida este sector está al tanto de las causas estructurales, la dimensión y los efectos de la pobreza y la desigualdad a su alrededor, así como su disposición para involucrarse o apoyar políticas públicas que permitan revertir dichos fenómenos. El empresariado inconsciente es un análisis profundo del pensamiento de la élite económica que ofrece información tan interesante como sorprendente sobre las posturas, preocupaciones e inquietudes de los dueños del dinero.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657854Thu, 02 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657854 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - La larga marcha ultra Author: Mariano Sánchez Soler Narrator: Arturo López Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 49 minutes Release date: February 1, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Un ensayo muy documentado en el que Mariano Sánchez Soler analiza la transición, los planes golpistas, los neonazis y las diferentes familias ultras, la xenofobia y la irrupción de VOX en los parlamentos. ¿Por qué la extrema derecha en España ha tardado más de cuarenta años en entrar en el parlamento y en los gobiernos de ayuntamientos y autonomías con la fuerza de los votos? ¿Cuál ha sido el largo camino hacia su 'visibilización' e implantación en España, mientras en países próximos como Francia, Italia o Alemania estaban establecidos desde hace décadas? ¿En qué radica el 'hecho diferencial' español? Este libro explica las causas profundas, también históricas, y desvela la evolución del 'complejo ultraderechista' en España desde hace cuatro décadas, así como los fracasos de la extrema derecha española desde 1975, hasta desembocar en la irrupción parlamentaria de Vox en 2018. - Mariano Sánchez Soler ha ejercido el periodismo desde 1979 y ha desarrollado una intensa labor como novelista, poeta y ensayista. Experto en Justicia e Interior, durante una década dirigió el equipo de investigación del semanario Tiempo y colaboró con El Periódico de Catalunya, Interviú y El Temps. De sus novelas negras, Nuestra Propia Sangre, obtuvo el premio Francisco García Pavón 2009. Como estudioso del género, su ensayo Anatomía del Crimen logró el Premio de la Crítica Literaria Valenciana 2012. Investigador de la transición, ha publicado Ricos por la patria (2001), Premio de Literatura de No Ficción Rodolfo Walsh, Los Franco, S.A. (2003) y La transición sangrienta (2010).

Title: [Spanish] - Entre Este y Oeste: Un viaje por las fronteras de Europa Author: Anne Applebaum Narrator: Indhira Serrano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Una lectura imprescindible para descifrar los orígenes de la guerra en Ucrania y la frágil situación de Europa del Este. En el otoño de 1991, en plena desintegración del imperio soviético, Anne Applebaum -ganadora del Premio Pulitzer por Gulag. Historia de los campos de concentración soviéticos- emprendió un viaje desde el Báltico hasta el mar Negro, pasando por Lituania, Bielorrusia, Los Cárpatos y Ucrania, con la intención de comprender la nueva configuración de unos territorios en constante conflicto. Por el camino descubrió un amplio abanico de culturas identitarias, religiones y aspiraciones nacionalistas que competían entre sí. Si bien han transcurrido más de treinta años, las vidas aquí narradas se leen hoy como un registro documental de un mundo que ya no existe. Applebaum, una excelente observadora, teje con gran habilidad la desgarradora historia de una región incomprendida a través de los relatos de personas corrientes, que describen el modo en que los acontecimientos históricos influyen y marcan la vida de la gente. Ubicado entre la crónica periodística, la literatura de viajes y el ensayo histórico, Entre Este y Oeste ilumina con brillantez los orígenes de la crisis geopolítica entre Rusia y Europa y nos ofrece algunas claves para entender el alma de estas tierras fronterizas. La crítica ha dicho: «En su implacable búsqueda de la comprensión, Anne Applebaum ilumina mundos relegados al olvido de esperanza, sufrimiento y dignidad humana». The Washington Post «Sus investigaciones la han llevado a revalorizar de manera radical algunos de los supuestos históricos más básicos de Occidente». The Evening Standard «El carácter receptivo de Applebaum anima a los fronterizos a contarle la infinidad de formas en que la división política ha subyugado sus vidas personales, sus tradiciones culturales y sus lenguas».

Mit einem Vorwort von Markus Lanz Author: Arno Luik Narrator: Robert Gregor Kühn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: March 14, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Arno Luiks Interviews beginnen oft mit provozierenden Fragen, schon mit der ersten Antwort wird der Leser in diese Gespräche hineingezogen – und liest Dinge, die er anderswo nicht gelesen hat. Arno Luik verführt seine Gegenüber von Beginn an zu einer erstaunlichen Offenheit und schafft es, Brisantes aus ihnen herauszukitzeln. Dieser Gesprächsband ist eine faszinierende Zeitreise, in der sich Geschichte auf eine mitreißende Weise entfaltet: anekdotisch, politisch, intim. Sie zeigt, warum wir wurden, wer wir sind: eine zerrissene, eine verstörte, manchmal trotzdem schöne Welt – um die es sich lohnt, zu kämpfen.]]>185bercleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-umgekehrter-totalitarismus-faktische-machtverhaltnisse-und-ihre-zerstorerischen-auswirkungen-auf-unsere-demokratie-by-sheldon-s--65205475https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658379 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Umgekehrter Totalitarismus: Faktische Machtverhältnisse und ihre zerstörerischen Auswirkungen auf unsere Demokratie Author: Sheldon S. Wolin Narrator: Markus Böker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 13, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 2003 prägte Wolin in einem Zeitungsartikel den Begriff Inverted Totalitarianism (deutsch: Umgekehrter Totalitarismus). Mit dem Buch Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism baute er 2008 seine Argumentation zum Inverted Totalitarianism aus. Die These dieses Werkes ist, dass am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts mit dem Streben nach Superpower und dem Management von Demokratie in den USA eine postdemokratische Regierungstechnik entstanden sei, die Elemente der liberalen Demokratie mit denen totalitärer politischer Systeme verbinde. Einen zentralen Unterschied zum klassischen Totalitarismus sieht Wolin darin, dass der Nationalsozialismus ein Mobilisierungsregime gewesen sei, während der invertierte Totalitarismus auf eine weitreichende Entpolitisierung der Bevölkerung setze. Außerdem setze die postmoderne Form totaler Herrschaft auf weichere, kaum wahrnehmbare Unterdrückungsmechanismen. Eine starke Führungspersönlichkeit sei in dieser Regierungsform verzichtbar.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658379Sun, 13 Feb 2022 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658379 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Kampf der Nationen: Wie der wirtschaftliche Wettbewerb unsere Zukunft zerstört Author: Patrick Kaczmarczyk Narrator: Robert Gregor Kühn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 7, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Wettbewerb gilt im allgemeinen Verständnis als Grundvoraussetzung für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Die Europäische Union (EU) hat dies sogar in den vier Freiheiten des Binnenmarkts institutionalisiert. Auch in Deutschland gilt: je mehr Wettbewerb es gibt, desto mehr wirtschaftliche Dynamik bekommen wir. Doch kann man an einer solchen Denkweise tatsächlich noch festhalten? Was wäre, wenn wir dieses Modell von Grund auf neu denken würden? Ist es unserer Zeit nicht angemessen, wäre es nicht nötig, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu steuern? Das Gegenmodell, welches ein neues Verständnis von Wettbewerb mit sich bringt und wirtschaftliche Dynamik besser begreift, beruht auf der Arbeit des österreichischen Ökonomen Joseph Schumpeter.

Title: Has Populism Won?: The War on Liberal Democracy Author: Marc D. Froese, Daniel Drache Narrator: Carmel Amit Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 30, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Has populism won? Two experts show us how and why this disturbing global political trend has taken root and what it will take to turn the tide From Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders tap into this fear, with empty promises of looking out for the little guy and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries across the globe and the political spectrum, arising in the right and the left alike. So why are we so susceptible to this pernicious political style at this moment? How did we get here? Will we get back to more even-handed governments? And more importantly, how has the global insurgency captured high offices across the globe, winning election after election? And more importantly, if Putin is defeated in his unprovoked war on Ukraine, will vociferous publics turn against the insurgency? Liberal democracy is at a turning point, as system smashers aren’t about to go quietly into the night, and there are few viable alternatives in the wings. Political scientists Drache and Froese have turned original research into a compelling analysis of the rise of populism and reveal what it will take to douse the flames. This is an essential read for anyone concerned about the encroachments on freedom and the rule of law around the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659370Sun, 30 Jan 2022 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659370 to listen full audiobooks.

Wolf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: September 6, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der kanadische Philosoph Alain Deneault stellt sich der wohl bedrohlichsten aller Bedrohungen: der Mittelmäßigkeit. Die Mittelmäßigkeit schmückt sich selber zwar mit Bildern der Macht, hat aber nicht mehr zu bieten als Konformismus, das Bedienen von Software oder die Einhaltung von Grundsatzwerten.

Wolf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: September 6, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der kanadische Philosoph Alain Deneault stellt sich der wohl bedrohlichsten aller Bedrohungen: der Mittelmäßigkeit. Die Mittelmäßigkeit schmückt sich selber zwar mit Bildern der Macht, hat aber nicht mehr zu bieten als Konformismus, das Bedienen von Software oder die Einhaltung von Grundsatzwerten. Wir leben in einer Welt, in der eine mediokre Ordnung zum Modell für die gesamte Gesellschaft erhoben wurde und in der Denkfaulheit belohnt wird.

Dezember 2016 kam es auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt am Berliner Breitscheidplatz zu einer LKW-Attacke, die insgesamt zwölf Menschen das Leben kostete. Für diesen schwersten Terroranschlag in Deutschland seit der Bombe auf das Münchner Oktoberfest von 1980 gilt laut offizieller Version der Tunesier Anis Amri noch immer als alleiniger Täter. Doch nach über vierjähriger Aufklärung in mehreren parlamentarischen Untersuchungsausschüssen gibt es daran begründete Zweifel. Wenn nicht Amri, wer saß dann am Steuer des LKW? Wer waren die Mittäter und Helfer? Und warum haben die deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden kein Interesse, die wahren Hintergründe aufzuklären?

Title: [German] - Der Amri-Komplex: Ein Terroranschlag, zwölf Tote und die Verstrickungen des Staates Author: Thomas Moser Narrator: Jacob Stark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 58 minutes Release date: July 5, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Am 19. Dezember 2016 kam es auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt am Berliner Breitscheidplatz zu einer LKW-Attacke, die insgesamt zwölf Menschen das Leben kostete. Für diesen schwersten Terroranschlag in Deutschland seit der Bombe auf das Münchner Oktoberfest von 1980 gilt laut offizieller Version der Tunesier Anis Amri noch immer als alleiniger Täter. Doch nach über vierjähriger Aufklärung in mehreren parlamentarischen Untersuchungsausschüssen gibt es daran begründete Zweifel. Wenn nicht Amri, wer saß dann am Steuer des LKW? Wer waren die Mittäter und Helfer? Und warum haben die deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden kein Interesse, die wahren Hintergründe aufzuklären? Thomas Moser macht deutlich: Die ungeklärten Fragen aus dem NSU-Skandal wiederholen sich auf erschreckende Weise nun im Amri-Komplex.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-schwarzbuch-corona-zwischenbilanz-der-vermeidbaren-schaden-und-tolerierten-opfer-by-jens-berger--65205458https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658518 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Schwarzbuch Corona: Zwischenbilanz der vermeidbaren Schäden und tolerierten Opfer Author: Jens Berger Narrator: Klaus B. Wolf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: June 28, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In der Medizin sagt man, die Therapie darf nicht schädlicher sein als die Krankheit. Überträgt man dies auf die weltweiten Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Coronavirus, müsste man wohl von einem der größten Kunstfehler der Geschichte sprechen. Die indirekten Kollateralschäden der Therapie stehen in keinem Verhältnis zu den Schäden durch das Virus selbst. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Jens Berger zeigt anhand zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Beispiele, welche Schäden die Corona-Politik verursacht hat und immer noch verursacht. Schäden auf dem Gebiet der Ökonomie, der Ökologie und der Gesundheit - aber auch Schäden an unserer Psyche. Schäden, die so unsolidarisch verteilt sind, wie bei keiner Katastrophe zuvor. Schäden, die uns noch lange begleiten werden und unsere Gesellschaften nachhaltig verändern werden. Berger blickt über den Tellerrand von Infiziertenzahlen und Inzidenzen und richtet den Fokus auf Zusammenhänge, die in der Debatte gerne verdrängt und ignoriert werden. Erstmals werden hier Daten und Studien zusammengetragen, die außerhalb von Fachkreisen wenig Beachtung finden, da sie nicht in das Bild einer Politik passen, für die das Wohl und die Gesundheit der Bürger angeblich das oberste Primat sind.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658518Mon, 28 Jun 2021 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658518 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Best War Ever: America and World War II Author: Michael C.C. Adams Narrator: Alister Austin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The most readable-and searingly honest-short book ever written on this pivotal conflict. Was World War II really such a 'good war'? Popular memory insists that it was, in fact, 'the best war ever.' After all, we knew who the enemy was, and we understood what we were fighting for. The war was good for the economy. It was liberating for women. A battle of tanks and airplanes, it was a 'cleaner' war than World War I. Although we did not seek the conflict-or so we believed-Americans nevertheless rallied in support of the war effort, and the nation's soldiers, all twelve million of them, were proud to fight. But according to historian Michael C. C. Adams, our memory of the war era as a golden age is distorted. It has left us with a misleading-even dangerous-legacy, one enhanced by the nostalgia-tinged retrospectives of Stephen E. Ambrose and Tom Brokaw. Disputing many of our common assumptions about the period, Adams argues in The Best War Ever that our celebratory experience of World War II is marred by darker and more sordid realities. In the book, originally published in 1994, Adams challenges stereotypes to present a view of World War II that avoids the simplistic extremes of both glorification and vilification. The Best War Ever charts the complex diplomatic problems of the 1930s and reveals the realities of ground combat: no moral triumph, it was in truth a brutal slog across a blasted landscape. Adams also exposes the myth that the home front was fully united behind the war effort, demonstrating how class, race, gender, and age divisions split Americans. Meanwhile, in Europe and Asia, shell-shocked soldiers grappled with emotional and physical trauma, rigorously enforced segregation, and rampant venereal disease. In preparing this must-read new edition, Adams has consulted some seventy additional sources on topics as varied as the origins of Social Security and a national health system, the Allied strategic bombing campaign, and the relationship of traumatic brain injuries to the adjustment problems of veterans. The revised book also incorporates substantial developments that have occurred in our understanding of the course and character of the war, particularly in terms of the human consequences of fighting. In a new chapter, 'The Life Cycle of a Myth,' Adams charts image-making about the war from its inception to the present. He contrasts it with modern-day rhetoric surrounding the War on Terror, while analyzing the real-world consequences that result from distorting the past, including the dangerous idea that only through (perpetual) military conflict can we achieve lasting peace.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667297Sat, 17 Apr 2021 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667297 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Angst und Macht: Herrschaftstechniken der Angsterzeugung in kapitalistischen Demokratien Author: Rainer Mausfeld Narrator: Klaus B. Wolf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 19, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Macht und Angst gehören in der politisch-gesellschaftlichen Welt eng zusammen. Macht hat für den, der sie hat, viele Vorteile und für diejenigen, die ihr unterworfen sind, viele Nachteile, denn Macht erzeugt bei den ihr Unterworfenen Angst. Da die Angst selbst wiederum Macht über die Geängstigten ausübt, haben diejenigen, die es verstehen, Angst zu erzeugen, eine sehr wirkungsvolle Methode, auf diese Weise ihre Macht zu stabilisieren und zu erweitern. Angsterzeugung ist ein Herrschaftsinstrument, und Techniken zum Erzeugen von gesellschaftlicher Angst gehören zum Handwerkszeug der Macht. Diese Einsicht ist so alt wie die Zivilisationsgeschichte. Rainer Mausfeld, der bereits mit Warum schweigen die Lämmer ein fulminantes Aufklärungswerk veröffentlichte und damit auf den Bestsellerlisten landete, liefert mit dem vorliegenden Buch eine extrem wichtige Erweiterung, die mehr denn je vonnöten ist.

Der Eiserne Vorhang war gefallen und Zielonkas Lehrer Ralf Dahrendorf begrüßte eine Revolution in Europa; es herrschten Euphorie und Aufbruchsstimmung. Mittlerweile liegt die Europäische Union in Scherben, weil die politischen Eliten marktradikalen Ideen nachgelaufen sind und die liberale Demokratie verraten haben. Zielonka unterzieht die Entwicklungen einer unerbittlichen Analyse und formuliert ein starkes Plädoyer für eine offene Gesellschaft und eine Neuerfindung Europas. Zielonkas Buch spitzt eine Debatte zu.

Dem Erfolgsautor Heiko Schrang wurde mit Gefängnis gedroht, da er sich aus Gewissensgründen weigerte, den Rundfunkbeitrag zu entrichten. Die Geschichte sorgte für große mediale Aufmerksamkeit, was zur Folge hatte, dass unzählige Menschen sich ermutigt sahen, seinem Beispiel zu folgen. Dieses Buch ist ein Befreiungsschlag aus Gewissensgründen, die uns auferlegten Ketten aus Lügen, Manipulation und Kriegshetze abzureißen. Es demaskiert das System hinter dem Zwangsbeitrag: - Warum Intendanten mehr verdienen als die Bundeskanzlerin. - Warum nur ein geringer Teil der 8,3 Milliarden Einnahmen dem Fernsehprogramm zugutekommt. - 4,9 Millionen Menschen setzen bereits ein Zeichen und zahlen den Zwangsbeitrag nicht. - Konkrete Anleitung, wie wir uns zur Wehr setzen können.

Alle, die ich hier kennengelernt habe – kurdische Aktivisten, Makler, Katasterbeamte, festgenommene Richter und Polizisten, Gangster – alle haben mir gesagt: ›Du musst das aufschreiben, Deniz Abi.‹ Ich habe gesagt: ›Logisch, mach ich. Ist schließlich mein Job. Wir sind ja nicht zum Spaß hier.‹« Während seiner einjährigen Haftzeit hat Deniz Yücel – in mühsamer Kommunikation über seine Anwälte und kuratiert von der Journalistin Doris Akrap – eine Auswahl aus seinen Texten aus den vergangenen 13 Jahren zu einem ebenso klugen wie unterhaltsamen und in jeder Hinsicht abwechslungsreichen Buch zusammengestellt: Reportagen, Satiren, Polemiken, Kommentare, Glossen und andere »Gebrauchstexte aus dem Handgemenge«. Dazu kommen zwei Stücke, die er im Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Silivri Nr. 9 hierfür verfasst hat, sowie einen Beitrag seiner Frau, der Fernsehproduzentin und Lyrikerin Dilek Mayatürk Yücel. Ob es um Journalismus geht – »Scheißefinden und Besserwissen« –, um unsere Mitbürger mit Migrationshintergrund – »Mathe für Ausländer« –, um ganz Allgemeines wie »Biokoks und Surenbingo« oder, natürlich, um die Türkei – »Der Chef, der Putsch und der Park«: Bei Yücel geht bissige Gesellschaftskritik mit einer klaren Analyse der harten Fakten einher. »Die Beiträge, die Deniz Yücel in diesem Buch veröffentlicht hat, sind großer Journalismus. In die Tiefe gehend, prall gefüllt auch mit persönlich Erlebtem, nicht geschwätzig-feuilletonistisch überladen, sondern in den Kontext passend und von großer Einfühlsamkeit. Ich glaube an die Kraft dieses Buches.« Günter Wallraff, DER SPIEGEL]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658323Wed, 18 Apr 2018 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658323 to listen full audiobooks.

Über eine Million Menschen sahen ihre Botschaft auf YouTube. Spätestens seit ihrer Teilnahme an der ZDF Sendung “Wie geht's Deutschland“ wurde sie einem breiten Publikum bekannt. Die Rede ist von Petra Paulsen. Als eine unübersehbare Zahl von Menschen aus dem Nahen Osten und Nordafrika im Herbst 2015 plötzlich unkontrolliert nach Deutschland strömte, stellte sich die Gymnasiallehrerin die Frage „Was ist hier bloß los?“. Sie machte sich auf die Suche nach den Hintergründen einer Entwicklung, die sich immer mehr als ein Verhängnis abzeichnet – für Deutschland wie für Europa. Die Autorin begann, Recherchen anzustellen und Fakten zusammenzutragen. Ihre analytische Neugier überspannte dabei einen weiten thematischen Bogen: Von den katastrophalen Folgewirkungen der Zuwanderung auf die innere Sicherheit, über den sinkenden Bildungsstand, die demografische und mentale Verformung der Gesellschaft, bis zum fatalen Verlust des Geschichtsbewusstseins – vor allem aber das schicksalsschwere Versagen von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel, zu deren Wählern Petra Paulsen sich einst selbst zählte. Was daraus entstand, unterscheidet sich in mancherlei Hinsicht von den üblichen Darstellungen der Gegenwart. Dieses Buch ist ein Höhenflug an Heimatliebe, gepaart mit dem sezierenden Intellekt der Naturwissenschaftlerin, gespickt mit akribisch belegten Tatbeständen sowie spannend lesbaren und aufrüttelnden Informationen. Durch seine inhaltliche Fülle leistet es einen Beitrag zum Geschichtsverständnis dieses Jahrhunderts. Es ist ein Weckruf an alle Menschen, die nicht verstehen, was in diesem Land gerade geschieht.

Durch seine inhaltliche Fülle leistet es einen Beitrag zum Geschichtsverständnis dieses Jahrhunderts. Es ist ein Weckruf an alle Menschen, die nicht verstehen, was in diesem Land gerade geschieht. Andreas Kirschhofer-Bozenhardt, Publizist und Sozialforscher Mit einem Vorwort von Thorsten Schulte, Autor des Bestsellers Kontrollverlust.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-im-spinnennetz-der-geheimdienste-warum-wurden-olof-palme-uwe-barschel-und-william-colby-ermordet-by-patrik-baab-robert-e-har--65205450https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658865 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Im Spinnennetz der Geheimdienste: Warum wurden Olof Palme, Uwe Barschel und William Colby ermordet? Author: Patrik Baab, Robert E. Harkavy Narrator: Patrick Zwingmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: January 5, 2018 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Warum starb Uwe Barschel? Geheimdienste wie CIA, FSB, Mossad oder BND sind für uns schlicht eine verbotene Zone, in der nicht nur diskret spioniert, sondern auch die blutige Drecksarbeit streng geheim erledigt wird. Robert E. Harkavy und Patrik Baab werfen mit ihrem Buch ein helles Licht auf die verdeckten Operationen dieser Schattenkrieger. Am Beispiel der bis heute ungeklärten Todesfälle von Olof Palme, Uwe Barschel und William Colby beleuchten sie die Strippenzieher und Hintergründe. Sie haben Quellen aus fünf verschiedenen Geheimdiensten angezapft, zahlreiche ehemalige Geheimdienstler interviewt und führen die drei Todesfälle zusammen vor dem Hintergrund der Iran-Contra-Affäre und eines Schattenkrieges der CIA, dessen größter Teil immer noch im Dunkeln liegt. Ein spannender Spionage-Thriller, der leider finstere Realität ist.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658865Fri, 05 Jan 2018 01:22:06 +0000Bud BergstromPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/658865 to listen full audiobooks.

Goethe ist ohne Zweifel einer der frühesten, feinsinnigsten und tiefgründigsten Kritiker, die der Kapitalismus je hatte. Er hat die existenzielle Bedrohung von Kultur, Zivilisation und Humanität in einer durchkommerzialisierten Gesellschaft geradezu prophetisch vorhergesehen. Ihm graute vor Verhältnissen, in 'denen sich alles rechnen' muss. Das hinderte ihn nicht, die gewaltigen produktiven Potenziale der neuen Ordnung anzuerkennen. Goethe war kein rückwärtsgewandter Verweigerer, sondern weitsichtig genug, über eine Moderne jenseits des Kapitalismus schon nachzudenken, als dies er sich gerade zu etablieren begann.

Das sind 44 Supertanker. Woher kommt das Öl? Wie hat es die europäische Geschichte in den letzten 150 Jahren beeinflusst? Und vor allem: Warum geht es uns jetzt aus? Daniele Ganser, Peak-Oil-Experte und Friedensforscher, legt die erste Gesamtdarstellung zu Europas Erdöl-Abhängigkeit vor. Er schildert den Beginn der Erdölindustrie, das durch billige Energie angetriebene Wirtschaftswachstum, die Erdölkrisen der 1970er-Jahre und die Hintergründe des andauernden, blutigen Kampfs ums Erdöl bis hin zu den jüngsten Kriegen im Irak und in Libyen. Absoluten Neuigkeitswert hat Gansers Nachweis, dass beim konventionellen Erdöl weltweit bereits 2005 das Fördermaximum erreicht wurde.
