A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2024 'ACCESSIBLE AND CONVINCING' - SALLY ROONEY Capitalism by its very nature puts us at odds with the environment. Therefore, argues award-winning Japanese philosopher Kohei Saito, the future must belong to a new form of communism, the only fair and humane existence...

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town. A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather than making things, they simply connect people. The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.

Ein wegweisender Essay über Kapitalismus, Vermögensethik und soziale Verantwortung – ungekürzt gesprochen von Jürgen Fritsche. Über das Hörbuch: Das Evangelium des Reichtums (The Gospel of Wealth) ist ein einflussreicher Essay von Andrew Carnegie, einem der einflussreichsten Industriellen und Philanthropen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ein Essay über Kapitalismus und die moralische Pflicht zur Wohltätigkeit. Carnegie vertritt darin die Überzeugung, dass großer Reichtum nicht nur ein Privileg, sondern auch eine moralische Verpflichtung zur Wohltätigkeit und zum Gemeinwohl mit sich bringt.

Even though capitalism has been conventionally described as an economic system, it is actually a deeply entrenched legal regime. Law provides the material for coding simple objects, promises, and ideas as capital assets. It also provides the means for avoiding the legal constraints that societies have frequently imposed on capitalism. Often lauded for creating levels of wealth unprecedented in human history, capitalism is also largely responsible for the two greatest problems now confronting humanity.

In Brought to You By, Amy Westervelt exposes the wider plot hidden within the familiar story of science denial. Over the last century, Big Industry has built a vast apparatus of think tanks, lobbyists, sponsored university labs, and obliging news networks to con the public and fool decision-makers, poisoning the informational ecosystem and warping the nature of truth itself along the way.

Wie wurde aus dem genialischen Nerd eine kettensägenschwingende Ikone der globalen Rechten? Um die Welt zu begreifen, die Musk erschafft, müssen wir die Welten verstehen, die Musk erschaffen haben. Quinn Slobodian und Ben Tarnoff zeichnen nach, wie sich im Silicon Valley um die Vorstellungen von Disruption und tollkühnen CEOs ein regelrechter Kult bildete, wie soziale Medien und Videospiele die Erzählung vom heldenhaften Einzelgänger etablierten und wie rassistische Memes und Verschwörungstheorien Eingang fanden in die Gedankenwelt des reichsten Menschen der Erde.

Entrepreneurial communities based on contracts among individuals are the most natural organization of a free society. So say Spencer Heath and Spencer MacCallum. They argue that such organizations are superior to coercion-based States. Among other advantages, they show how entrepreneurial communities would be the most efficient vehicles to supply consumers with what in economics are called "public goods."

From its inception, liberalism offered a glittering promise of shared prosperity, equality, democratic values and the free pursuit of knowledge. At first, it flourished. And then it faltered. Once a tantalising beacon of hope, it began to erode and decay at the hands of elitism, intolerance and...

Todd McGowan forges a new theory of capitalism as a system based on the production of more than what we need: pure excess. He argues that the promise of more wealth, more enjoyment, more opportunity, without requiring any sacrifice is the essence of capitalism. Previous socioeconomic systems set up some form of the social good as their focus. Capitalism, however, represents a revolutionary turn away from the good and the useful toward excessive growth, which now threatens the habitability of the planet.

In The Politics of Collecting, Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of United States museum collections and conceptual art forms. Investigating historical legal and property claims, she argues that regimes of expropriation—rather than merit or good...

War Is a Racket is a classic short treatise by Major General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines in American history, turned outspoken critic of war. Drawing on his 34-year military career and firsthand experience in conflicts from the Caribbean to World War I, Butler delivers a powerful critique of how modern wars are driven not by noble ideals but by economic interests that profit from conflict.

How Capitalism’s spirit and individualism’s power combine into a practical philosophy for everyday life. It’s not about abstract economics or political theory. It’s about you—your choices, your character, your prosperity. We live in a culture that too often encourages envy, dependence, and conformity. Capitalism flips the script. It reminds us that the path to thriving is not through group sacrifice or government control, but through self-responsibility and creative production. Each chapter offers practical ideas you can use immediately: Break free from limiting mindsets.

Pour Guillaume Meurice, ardent défenseur du 10/20, du « peut mieux faire », du « bof bof », la médiocrité est non seulement un mode de vie, mais aussi un formidable facteur d'émancipation. Elle autorise l'action sans la pression du résultat, pour le simple plaisir de se mettre en mouvement, pour la beauté du geste. Il faut la revendiquer en tant que résistance politique, car elle porte en elle le refus de la hiérarchie, de la compétition et du catéchisme capitaliste.

Pour Jacques Nantel, professeur émérite en marketing à HEC Montréal depuis près de 40 ans, l’étude de ce que font les consommateurs avec leur argent peut être un formidable microscope afin de mieux comprendre notre société et son évolution.

A New York Times bestselling author and veteran Fox Business financial journalist’s explosive deep-dive into the progressive madness that has infected and corrupted the world’s biggest corporations, threatening the stability of the global economy—and life as we know it. How did a bunch of...

When our species first learned how to farm and build permanent settlements, things may have gone well at first. All those who worked to grow food (instead of having to find it, as we did for about 200,000 years before) got to consume it themselves and trade any left over for other goods or services. Then, one day, someone with a big club said to most everyone else, “I'm no longer doing all this hard work; you grow the food for me and, if you do as I say, I’ll let you have some of it back so you won’t starve…or else!”

Abramowitsch hat eine, der Emir von Abu Dhabi auch, Jeff Bezos sowieso: Superyachten sind Ausweis der Zugehörigkeit zum Club der "lucky few". Sie ermöglichen grenzenlose Mobilität und exklusiven Geltungskonsum. Zugleich sind sie schwimmende Umweltsünden. Sie verbrennen Unmengen Treibstoff, ihre Anker zerstören kostbare Flora. Und sie sind Spielfelder obszöner Ungleichheit: Während ihre Besitzer zu den einflussreichsten Menschen der Welt gehören, ist das Bordpersonal oft Willkür und Rechtlosigkeit ausgeliefert.

Once upon a time, you could work for one company your whole adult life, you could make a decent living, and you could buy your piece of the American Dream. This book is part memoir and part political statement as it follows my thirty-seven-year career at the phone company that began in 1973, about the time economists say worker pay flatlined. The telecommunications industry was ripped apart, absorbed, and gobbled up by each other until, within a few years, Ma Bell had reassembled itself
