Parecon: Life After Capitalism – $285

16 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Albert offers an alternative system of participatory economics to end the dehumanizing failures and injustices of free-market capitalism. ‘What do you want?’ is a constant query put to economic and globalization activists decrying current poverty, alienation, and degradation. In this highly praised new work, destined to attract worldwide attention and support, Michael Albert provides an answer: participatory economics, ‘parecon‘ for short ‒ a new economy, an alternative to capitalism, built on familiar values including solidarity, equity, diversity, and people democratically […]

the oil curse

The Oil Curse: How Petroleum Wealth Shapes the Development of Nations – $435

10 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? In this groundbreaking analysis, Michael L. Ross looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth–and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing. Ross traces the oil curse to the upheaval of the 1970s, when oil prices soared and governments across the developing […]

The Democracy Project

The Democracy Project: A History, a Crisis, a Movement – $345

9 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

A bold rethinking of the most powerful political idea in the world—democracy—and the story of how radical democracy can yet transform America   Democracy has been the American religion since before the Revolution—from New England town halls to the multicultural democracy of Atlantic pirate ships. But can our current political system, one that seems responsive only to the wealthiest among us and leaves most Americans feeling disengaged, voiceless, and disenfranchised, really be called democratic? And if the tools of our […]

The Pirate Organization- Lessons from the Fringes of Capitalism

The Pirate Organization: Lessons from the Fringes of Capitalism - $345

25 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

A short history of piracy and capitalism When capitalism spread along the trade routes toward the Indies…when radio opened an era of mass communication . . . when the Internet became part of the global economy…pirates were there. And although most people see pirates as solitary anarchists out to destroy capitalism, it turns out the opposite is true. They are the ones who forge the path. In The Pirate Organization, Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne argue that piracy drives capitalism’s evolution and foreshadows […]

Poverty of Theory

Poverty of Theory - $445

11 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  This classic collection of essays by E.P. Thompson, one of England’s most renowned socialist voices, remains a staple text in the history of Marxist theory. The bulk of the book is dedicated to Thompson’s famous polemic against Louis Althusser and what he considers the reductionism and authoritarianism of Althusserian structuralism. In lively and erudite prose, Thompson argues for a self-critical and unapologetically humanist Marxist tradition. Also included are three essays of considerable importance to the development of the New […]

Governing the World- The History of an Idea

Governing the World: The History of an Idea - $295

10 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  19th century internationalists included bomb-throwing anarchists and the secret policemen who fought them, Marxist revolutionaries and respectable free marketeers. But they all embraced nationalism, the age’s most powerful transformative political creed, and assumed that nationalism and internationalism would go hand in hand. The wars of the twentieth century saw the birth of institutions that enshrined many of those ideals in durable structures of authority, most notably the League of Nations in World War I and the United Nations after […]

Revolutions in Reverse- Essays on Politics, Violence, Art, and Imagination

Revolutions in Reverse: Essays on Politics, Violence, Art, and Imagination - $295

10 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart. But as financial institutions stagger and crumble, there is no obvious alternative. There is good reason to believe that, in a generation or so, capitalism will no longer exist: for the simple reason that it s impossible to maintain an engine of perpetual growth forever on a finite planet. Yet faced with this prospect, the knee-jerk reaction is often to cling to what exists because they simply can’t imagine an […]

The Rise of China vs. the Logic of Strategy

The Rise of China vs. the Logic of Strategy – $425

27 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  As the rest of the world worries about what a future might look like under Chinese supremacy, Edward Luttwak worries about China’s own future prospects. Applying the logic of strategy for which he is well known, Luttwak argues that the most populous nation on Earth—and its second largest economy—may be headed for a fall. For any country whose rising strength cannot go unnoticed, the universal logic of strategy allows only military or economic growth. But China is pursuing both […]

What We Are Fighting For: A Radical Collective Manifesto – $395

23 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

The age of austerity has brought a new generation of protesters on to the streets across the world, leading Time magazine to name “the protester” as its 2011 personality of the year. As the economic crisis meets the environmental crisis, a whole generation fears what the future will bring but also dares to dream of a different society. What Are we Fighting For? answers the question that the mainstream media loves to ask the protesters. The first radical, collective manifesto of […]

World Report 2013: Events of 2012 (Human Rights Watch World Report) - $375

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“The reports of the New York-based Human Rights Watch have become extremely important. . . .  Cogent and eminently practical, these reports have gone far beyond an account of human rights abuses. . . .”—Ahmed Rashid in The New York Review of Books “An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate.”—Simon Jenkins, former editor of The Times (London) In the aftermath of 2011′s Arab Spring uprisings, unexpected new challenges and imperatives of building rights-respecting democracies appeared in their wake.

The Liberal Defence of Murder

The Liberal Defence of Murder - $355

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  An updated account of how liberal calls for humanitarian intervention provide a smoke screen for imperial conquest. A war that has killed more than a million Iraqis was a “humanitarian intervention”, the US army is a force for liberation, and the main threat to world peace is posed by Islam. These are the arguments of a host of liberal commentators, including such notable names as Christopher Hitchens, Kanan Makiya, Michael Ignatieff, Paul Berman, and Bernard-Henri Lévy. In this critical […]

The Political Mind- A Cognitive Scientist's Guide to Your Brain and Its Politics

The Political Mind: A Cognitive Scientist’s Guide to Your Brain and Its Politics - $295

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

A groundbreaking scientific examination of the way our brains understand politics from a New York Times bestselling author. One of the world ‘s best-known linguists and cognitive scientists, George Lakoff has a knack for making science make sense for general readers. In his new book, Lakoff spells out what cognitive science has discovered about reason, and reveals that human reason is far more interesting than we thought it was. Reason is physical, mostly unconscious, metaphorical, emotion-laden, and tied to empathy-and there are […]

Comandante: Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela - $375

14 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Hugo Chávez is a phenomenon. He has been compared to Napoléon, Nasser, Perón, and Castro, but the truth is there has never been a leader like him. He is democratically elected, reigns like a monarch from a digital throne, and provokes adoration and revulsion in equal measure. Future historians will study his rule for what it says about the early twenty-first century. How did a charismatic autocrat seduce not just a nation but a significant part of world opinion? […]

Expect Resistance- A Crimethink Field Manual

Expect Resistance: A Crimethink Field Manual – $295

6 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Expect Resistance is not one but three books, each of which may be read as a complete work unto itself. The first book, printed in standard black ink, continues the inquiry into modern life and its discontents begun in Days of War, Nights of Love. Just as that book included improved versions of texts originally published between 1996 and 1999, this book draws on CrimethInc. material from 2000 to 2004, painstakingly refined and augmented with a great deal of new content. The second […]

The Revolution of Everyday Life

The Revolution of Everyday Life – $395

6 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Finally, back in print again, the essential handbook for all of us still alienated by modern capitalism. Together with Debord, Vaneigem was the main theorist of Situationist ideas. He has the added benefit of being eminently more readable! An incredible work, more potent now than ever. “We have a world of pleasures to win, and nothing to lose but boredom…….You want to fuck around with us? Not for long.”
