At first glance, sports may appear as simple games of athleticism and skill. However, nestled within every cheer, every match, and each strategy is a reflection of the world's deeper political, societal, and economic narratives. "Ballgames & Boardrooms" delves into this intricate dance between sports and the inherent global structures it both represents and influences. From the gladiatorial arenas of Ancient Rome to the modern football stadiums, this essay dissects how sports have been employed as tools by elites to not only entertain but to dictate, control, and pacify the masses.

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.

Ravenelle builds on interviews with nearly two hundred gig-based and precarious workers, conducted during the height of the pandemic, to uncover the unique challenges they faced in unprecedented times.

Wie wollen und werden wir zukünftig arbeiten? Die tradierten Modelle funktionieren nicht mehr: Während die einen von ihrer Erwerbsarbeit kaum leben können, leiden viele Bereiche unter Arbeits- und Fachkräftemangel. Arbeit ist zudem eine Frage der Solidarität: Der Applaus für "systemrelevante Berufe" war von kurzer Dauer, die Care-Arbeit - vor allem von Frauen - hält das System am Laufen, wird aber weder angemessen entlohnt noch gesellschaftlich gewürdigt. Für die "Generation Z" zählt Work-Life-Balance mehr als die 40-Stunden-Woche.

The middle class is the most successful group in world history. Sometime before 2030 the fifth billionth person will join the middle class. What started a little over two hundred years ago as a search for a better life has fueled unprecedented global transformation. In his new book Homi Kharas looks at how this powerful dream captivated generations through history, but its demands have led younger generations to ask if it is all worth it. Can the middle class continue to thrive, or will it falter under the stresses of automation, consumerism, pollution, and political strife?

Paola Mastrocola e Luca Ricolfi per la prima volta insieme in un libro per denunciare a due voci il paradossale e tragico abbaglio della scuola democratica, che, nata per salvare i più deboli, oggi di fatto ne annega le speranze. Due voci, di cui una lancia un’ipotesi e l’altra la raccoglie, provandola con la forza dei dati, testandola con modelli matematici e arrivando alla conferma. Sì, è così: una scuola facile e di bassa qualità allarga il solco fra ceti alti e ceti bassi. Un disastro, di cui rendere conto e chiedere scusa, ai ragazzi e alle loro famiglie.

When Jonathan Kozol’s Death at an Early Age appeared in 1967, it rocked the education world. Based on the Rhodes Scholar’s first year of teaching in Boston’s Black community, the book described the abuse and neglect of children for no reason but the color of their skin. Since that National Book Award-winning volume, Kozol has spent more than fifty years visiting with children and working with their teachers in other deeply troubled and unequal public schools.

Nosso Estado é de um terceiro tipo, mais próximo a um sádico obeso que rouba os que estão embaixo para dar aos grupinhos de cima, encastelados no poder.

Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here?

Eigentlich hatte Didier Eribon sich vorgenommen, ab jetzt regelmäßig nach Fismes zu fahren. Doch seine Mutter stirbt wenige Wochen nach ihrem Umzug in ein Pflegeheim in dem kleinen Ort in der Champagne. Wie in Rückkehr nach Reims wird dieser Einschnitt zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Eribon rekonstruiert die von Knappheit und Zwängen bestimmte Biografie einer Frau, die an einen brutalen Ehemann gekettet blieb und sich sogar in ihren Träumen bescheiden musste. "Meine Mutter", hält er fest, "war ihr ganzes Leben lang unglücklich."

Selflove? Warum? Wenn jeder nur an sich denkt, ist an niemanden gedacht. Wir müssen das individuelle Wohl wieder stärker in Beziehung zum Wohl der Allgemeinheit setzen und Armut, Glück, Klimakrise und Demokratie mehr denn je zu politischen Kampfzonen erklären. Für ein gutes Leben für alle. Jean-Philippe Kindler ist auf der Suche nach neuen gesellschaftlichen Konzepten. Er geht mit sich, seiner Generation und den Linken genauso hart ins Gericht wie mit den Konservativen und dem Kapitalismus – ein wütendes, inspirierendes, langersehntes Hörbuch.
