The Left Case for Brexit

Richard Tuck

The Left Case for Brexit

Liberal left orthodoxy holds that Brexit is a disastrous coup, orchestrated by the hard right and fuelled by xenophobia, which will break up the Union and turn what’s left of Britain into a neoliberal dystopia. <br /> <br /> Richard Tuck’s ongoing commentary on the Brexit crisis demolishes this narrative. He argues that by opposing Brexit and throwing its lot in with a liberal constitutional order tailor-made for the interests of global capitalists, the Left has made a major error....

Чарльз Маккей

Наиболее распространенные заблуждения и безумства толпы

Книга Чарльза Маккея является подборкой наиболее выдающихся заблуждений и безумств человечества: от финансовых пирамид до религиозных психозов. Она стала классическим трудом о массовых маниях, поведении толпы и человеческой глупости. «Заблуждения» и «безумства», изложенные в книге, относятся к хроническим «болезням» человечества. Финансовые пирамиды, коррумпированность власти, фальсификации и самообман мнимых врачевателей и пророков – все это было, есть и будет.

Blowing the Roof off the Twenty-First Century

In the United States and much of the world there is a palpable depression about the prospect of overcoming the downward spiral created by the tyranny of wealth and privilege and establishing a truly democratic and sustainable society. It threatens to become self-fulfilling. In this trailblazing new book, award-winning author Robert W. McChesney argues that the weight of the present is blinding people to the changing nature and the tremendous possibilities of the historical moment we inhabit. In...

Спасите человечество

Наука и техника – взаимосвязанные области. Научно-технический прогресс может как принести человечеству пользу, так и нанести огромный вред. Если они будут продолжать развиваться такими же темпами, что и сейчас, то конец человечества настанет уже очень скоро.

The Fracturing of the E.U.

The Fracturing of the E.U.

The long-simmering crises challenging the European Union have worsened with the 2008 financial crisis, the influx of Middle East refugees in 2015, several bloody terrorist attacks, and England’s departure from the E.U. in 2016. Yet these are all the wages of persistent flaws in the idea of the Union itself. Excessive regulations, welfare, and taxes impede economic growth. Centralization of power in Brussels has created a “democracy deficit” and lessened autonomy and freedom. Populations are...
