India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European ‘colonial consciousness’ (or ‘coloniality’), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus’ expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution—the Government of India Act of 1919.

At a time when the label "conservative" is indiscriminately applied to fundamentalists, populists, libertarians, fascists, and the advocates of one or another orthodoxy, this volume offers a nuanced and historically informed presentation of what is distinctive about conservative social and political thought. It is an anthology with an argument, locating the origins of modern conservatism within the Enlightenment and distinguishing between conservatism and orthodoxy.

Twenty-five years old and struggling to find his way in his journalism career, the young reporter who had been covering local political stories found himself smack in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis—fleeing air raids and being questioned by militants along the way. One year later when Hamas carried out its October 7th attack, Sherman flew right back into the thick of it—running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. While shrouded in the proverbial "Fog of War," it became clear to Sherman that the world isn't as simple as he thought it was.

It starts with a simple problem that sits beneath most political and cultural arguments today. People are moving fast, arguing loudly, and acting with confidence, yet struggling to explain how they know whether they are actually moving forward. The audiobook does not try to solve policy debates or declare moral winners. Instead, it examines how moral orientation works, how it weakens, and how systems drift when reference is replaced by momentum.

Reading all of President Trump's accomplishments in his first 365 days in office—all 365 of them. "Securing America’s Borders and Putting Americans First” is a bullet-point scorecard of what the Trump Administration says it achieved in its first year. On immigration, it claims negative net migration in 2025, more than 2.6 million removals plus two million “self-deportations,” sharply lower illegal crossings, and reduced fentanyl trafficking, supported by detention over release, renewed wall construction, visa revocations, and tougher actions against cartel and terrorism-linked entrants.

Der Parasit – Anatomie eines Staatswesens ist keine politische Analyse, sondern eine sezierende Darstellung dessen, was Regierungen seit Jahrhunderten wirklich sind: parasitäre Organismen, die sich vom Menschen ernähren. Der Staat lebt nicht für den Bürger – er lebt vom Bürger. Er frisst seine Zeit, seine Arbeit, seine Energie und nennt das dann Pflicht, Moral oder Solidarität. Dieses Hörbuch zeigt, wie der Parasit Staat jeden Menschen von Geburt an formatiert: durch Schule, Medien, Ideologie, Zwang und Dressur.

Democracy is a monumental achievement in the evolution of consciousness. It is in this time between worlds and time between stories that evolutionary achievement is challenged to evolve once more—for today, democracy is broken in a number of key ways.

In Gaetano Mosca's groundbreaking work, The Ruling Class (originally published as Elementi di Scienza Politica in 1896), the Italian political philosopher shatters the illusions of pure democracy by revealing a timeless truth: in every society, from ancient civilizations to modern nations, power is always concentrated in the hands of an organized minority–the ruling class.

In Red vs. Blue, JJ cuts straight through the fog of American politics, tracing how we ended up with two massive political identities that nobody fully understands but everyone is expected to defend. This isn’t a policy book. It’s not a campaign book. It’s a book about labels, identity, and the long, messy history behind why the United States split itself in two.

Scholars and citizens have often assumed that dispassionate rationality, reciprocity, and nonviolent tolerance are necessary conditions for the sustained development of democracy. Accordingly, they reject oppositional parties that spurn consensus and terms of mutual respect—and often use force to accomplish their political goals—denouncing extremists as antidemocratic.

History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern.

En tiempos en los que la democracia es el principal refugio de la ciudadanía y las libertades, está la responsabilidad de evaluar cada decisión de las autoridades en función de entender si se está fortaleciendo o debilitando. Las sensaciones que hoy predominan son la preocupación y la incertidumbre. El autor, como líder del sector empresarial, analiza la narrativa que en estos años se ha tejido contra la democracia, la propiedad privada, la constitución, el libre mercado y todos los pilares del llamado Estado de derecho. ¿Qué hay detrás de esa estrategia del gobierno?

Expert guidance for navigating the difficult new issues around free speech rights in higher education In their earlier book, Free Speech on Campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman argued that colleges and universities should permit the expression of the widest possible range of views. Nearly ten tumultuous years later, many issues have arisen that this simple principle does not adequately address. To what extent must an institution provide expensive security for extremely controversial speakers?
