Unfinished at the time of Marx's death in 1883 and first published with a preface by Frederick Engels in 1894, the third volume of Das Kapital strove to combine the theories and concepts of the two previous volumes in order to prove conclusively that capitalism is inherently unworkable as a permanent system for society.
Here, Marx asserts that - regardless of the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists - any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading finally to complete collapse. But he also offers an inspirational and compelling prediction: that the end of capitalism will culminate, ultimately, in the birth of a far greater form of society.
'A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Communism.' So begins one of history's most important documents, a work of such magnitude that it has forever changed not only the scope of world politics, but indeed the course of human civilization. The Communist Manifesto was written in Friedrich Engels's clear, striking prose and declared the earth-shaking ideas of Karl Marx. Upon publication in 1848, it quickly became the credo of the poor and oppressed who longed for a society 'in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.'
The Communist Manifesto contains the seeds of Marx's more comprehensive philosophy, which continues to inspire influential economic, political, social, and literary theories. But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheaveals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War.
With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time.
Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's.
In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.
This audiobook contains all 3 volumes of Capital, a compendium that Marx's collaborator Friedrich Engels described as 'the Bible of the working class'.
One of the most notorious and influential works of modern times, Capital is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates.
Volume 1: Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis. Arguing that capitalism would cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production.
Volume 2: The 'forgotten' second volume of Capital, Marx's world-shaking analysis of economics, politics, and history. This volume also contains the vital discussion of commodity - the cornerstone to Marx's theories.
Volume 3: Unfinished at the time of Marx's death in 1883 and first published with a preface by Frederick Engels in 1894. Here, Marx asserts that - regardless of the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists - any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading finally to complete collapse. But he also offers an inspirational and compelling prediction: that the end of capitalism will culminate, ultimately, in the birth of a far greater form of society.

The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction.
The loss or erosion of livelihoods is the most concrete and widespread impact of the current crisis of the world capitalist system on people's lives, both in the advanced capitalist countries as well as in the underdeveloped countries. Despite recent pronouncements from state officials and the business press that economic recovery is in sight, the global economy continues to tumble with the gross domestic product of the leading capitalist countries still contracting, consumer spending still in decline and unemployment still rising.
Spätestens seit dem Beginn von Wladimir Putins zunehmend aggressivem Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Ukraine im Februar 2022 ist klar: Eine friedliche Weltordnung MIT Putin ist kaum denkbar. Doch wie kann ein totalitäres Regime beendet werden? Durch wen? Eher von innen oder von außen? Gäbe es überhaupt eine Chance auf einen einigermaßen friedlichen Machtwechsel? Und wer käme dann in Russland an die Macht – und wie würde diese aussehen? Diese drängenden Fragen werden nicht nur von Politikern und Entscheidungsträgern gestellt, sondern im Grunde von allen freiheitsliebenden Menschen in Russland und auf der ganzen Welt. Weit entfernt von jeglicher Besserwisserei, stellt der Autor in Wie man einen Drachen tötet unbequeme Fragen, wie z.B. die nach der Gewaltlosigkeit, und leitet die daraus resultierenden Handlungsoptionen ab. Damit will er keine Patentrezepte liefern, sondern eine längst überfällige Diskussion anstoßen sowie Lösungen für eine Umgestaltung des russischen Staates vorzuschlagen, die künftigen Machtmissbrauch verhindern würde. Das zentrale Argument des Buches ist, dass eine parlamentarische Republik mit einem sorgfältig austarierten System von Kontrollen und Gegengewichten das derzeitige Modell der russischen Staatlichkeit ersetzen muss, welches den Präsidenten mit einer außerordentlichen Fülle an Befugnissen ausstattet – und mit viel zu vielen Möglichkeiten, einseitige Entscheidungen zu treffen.
'Nuestro enemigo el Estado' es un ensayo escrito por Albert Jay Nock en 1935. En él, el autor aborda la creciente influencia del Estado en la vida de los individuos y argumenta que esta influencia es perjudicial para la libertad y el bienestar humano.
Nock critica el papel del Estado como un ente paternalista que se encarga de tomar decisiones en nombre de las personas, limitando su autonomía y responsabilidad individual. En su obra, el autor defiende la idea de que el Estado debería tener un papel limitado en la vida de los individuos y que las personas deberían tener más autonomía y responsabilidad.
A través de su ensayo, Nock ofrece una crítica de la sociedad moderna y su dependencia del Estado, y defiende el valor de la individualidad y la importancia de la autonomía y la responsabilidad individual.
'Nuestro enemigo el Estado' es una obra que aborda cuestiones fundamentales de la filosofía política, como el papel del Estado, la libertad y la responsabilidad individual, y ofrece una perspectiva crítica sobre la sociedad moderna y su relación con el poder político.

'The Great Illusion' by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics.
Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a 'great illusion'.
Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations.
'The Great Illusion' is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time
It is rare in history that so many nations in the developed world are in crisis at the same time. There has been a disintegration of trust in political leaders and in the media that holds them to account. For all the progress humankind has made, for all the inventions and new technologies, our society is being undermined by inequality. We should care not simply because of its impact on productivity and growth, but because it's wrong. It's wrong that some don't have enough money to eat whilst others fly wagyu beef halfway across the planet for a couple of amusing mouthfuls. It's wrong that there are council residents unable to safely escape their homes if they catch fire. To fix it, we must begin by seeking out the truth about our world.
In The State of Us, Jon Snow traces how the life of the nation has changed across his five-decade career, from getting thrown out of university for protesting apartheid to interviewing every prime minister since Margaret Thatcher. In doing so, he shows how the greatest problems at home and abroad so often come down to inequality and an unwillingness to confront it. But that is not our fate. Despite the challenges, Snow has witnessed profound social progress. In this passionate rallying cry, he argues that at its best, journalism reflects not just who we are now, but who we can be. We've had enough of division; the future is for us.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of 'imitation democracy,' marked by 'a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule.' How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future?
These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states.
Peopled with grey technocrats, warring oligarchs, patriots, and provocateurs, Furman's narrative details the struggles among partisan factions, and the waves of public sentiment, that shaped modern Russia's political landscape, culminating in Putin's third presidential term, which resolves the contradiction between the 'form' and 'content' of imitation democracy, 'the formal dependence of power on elections and the actual dependence of elections on power.'
