Julian Gewirtz recovers the debates of the 1980s, tracing the Communist Party's diverse attitudes toward markets, state control, and sweeping technological change, as well as freewheeling public argument over political liberalization. After Tiananmen, however, Beijing systematically erased these discussions of alternative directions. Using newly available Chinese sources, Gewirtz details how the leadership purged the key reformist politician Zhao Ziyang and indoctrinated China and the international community in the new official narrative.

Der größte Nutzen, den die Einführung des Sozialismus brächte, liegt ohne Zweifel darin, dass der Sozialismus uns von der schmutzigen Notwendigkeit, für andere zu leben, befreite, die beim jetzigen Stand der Dinge so schwer auf fast allen Menschen lastet. Es entgeht ihr in der Tat fast niemand. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) war ein irischer Schriftsteller, der sich nach Schulzeit und Studium in Dublin und Oxford in London niederließ.

It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable.

Bertrand Russell was a firm believer in Communism, noting that the greatest fault of the capitalist system is not the concentration of money, but of power. The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, written following a trip to Soviet Russia in 1920, reflects his observations of the Bolshevik approach to this ideal.

"Nessuno parla mai dei crimini del comunismo!": sul serio? Dagli eccidi perpetrati dai bolscevichi al massacro di Piazza Tienanmen a Pechino, i crimini dei regimi comunisti o sedicenti tali non sono mai stati sconosciuti, anche quando si è provato a tacerli o negarli; hanno accompagnato la storia del secolo scorso come un’ombra cupa e assillante, condizionandone il corso.

The "forgotten" second volume of Capital, Marx's world-shaking analysis of economics, politics, and history. Capital rapidly acquired readership throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx's collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the working class'. This volume also contains the vital discussion of commodity - the cornerstone to Marx's theories. This audiobook is expertly read by Audie award-winning narrator, Malk Williams, and translated by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling. It is edited by Friedrich Engels.

The Bolsheviks promised that they were building a new society, a workers’ paradise that would change the nature of mankind itself. What they ended up constructing was the largest prison the world had ever seen: a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that spanned half the globe.

Marx started work on this book in January 1847, as can be judged from Engel's letter to Marx on January 15, 1847. By the beginning of April 1847, Marx's work was completed in the main and had gone to the press. On June 15, 1847, he wrote a short foreword. Published in Paris and Brussels in 1847, the book was not republished in full during Marx's lifetime. Excerpts from section five of Chapter Two appeared in different years, mostly between 1872-1875 in papers such as La Emancipacion, Der Volksstaat, Social-Demokrat, and others.

Una lectura imprescindible para descifrar los orígenes de la guerra en Ucrania y la frágil situación de Europa del Este.

Dark Shadows is a compelling portrait of Kazakhstan, a country that is little known in the West. Strategically located in the heart of Central Asia, sandwiched between Vladimir Putin's Russia, its former colonial ruler, and Xi Jinping's China, this vast oil-rich state is carving out its place in the world as it contends with its own complex past and present. Journalist Joanna Lillis paints a vibrant picture of this emerging nation through vivid reportage based on seventeen years of on-the-ground coverage.

Written in 1916 against the backdrop of the First World War, Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism explains the flaws and power of capitalism, which inevitably lead to monopolies, imperialism and colonialism. Lenin develops Marx’s theories of political economy, which had been put forward 50 years earlier in Das Kapital. He goes on to argue that imperialism is the most advanced state of capitalism, characterised by the domination of monopolies on an international scale, with the export of capital leading to the big imperialist powers carving up the world.

Come il benessere ha impedito all'Occidente di vedere dieci anni fa l'arrivo di una profonda crisi finanziaria, così oggi sembra che un lungo periodo di pace abbia cancellato la memoria delle tragedie del Novecento e i sacrifici per la democrazia. In queste pagine Federico Fubini e Ivan Krastev riflettono sul grande rischio che corre quell'impero diviso che è oggi l'Unione europea: spaccato fra ricchi e poveri, fra sicuri e insicuri, orientali e occidentali, meridionali e nordici.

In Communism and the Conscience of the West, Sheen explains the problems with society stemming from socialism and communism, which continue to infect universities and political discourse today. This timeless book exposes communism’s defects, its attitude toward the family, the decline of historical liberalism, and the rise of the antireligious spirit that pervades our world.

In 1848, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world–the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious.

For several decades Chinese ascendancy has been supported by an astonishingly broad and deep portfolio of soft power. The stories of their reach are breathtaking - Chinese-sponsored reporting in national newspapers and academia; the gagging of sports stars and huge Western brands; Hollywood self-censorship; and of course - communications firms. But these are just the most visible examples. Bethany Allen, an internationally recognized investigator into Chinese covert power, shows Western institutions have bowed to and even enabled Beijing's coercion.

Despite the enormous problems we face and widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo, it's surprisingly hard to find a coherent vision of what a better, fairer society would look like. Free and Equal provides that vision. In this hugely ambitious and exhilarating debut, philosopher and economist Daniel Chandler argues that the ideas we need are hiding in plain sight, in the work of the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. Although they have transformed philosophy, his ideas have had little impact on politics - until now.

Das "Ich" ist politisch nicht im Trend. Wer sich zur individuellen Freiheit als Ideal bekennt, steht schnell im Verdacht des rücksichtslosen Egoismus. Zu Unrecht, meint die Juristin und Journalistin Anna Schneider. In ihrem Debattenbuch schwärmt und wirbt sie im Dialog mit großen Denkerinnen und Denkern des Liberalismus für die Freiheit, das unbeliebte Ideal. Sie prangert antiliberale Tendenzen im politischen Diskurs der Gegenwart an und sucht eine Erklärung für die Freiheitsskepsis, die sie den Deutschen diagnostiziert.
