Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?

Imagine this: You're walking past a shallow pond and spot a toddler thrashing around in the water, in obvious danger of drowning. You look around for her parents, but nobody is there. You're the only person who can save her and you must act immediately. But as you approach the pond you remember that you're wearing your most expensive shoes. Wading into the water will ruin them—and might make you late for a meeting. Should you let the child drown?

Dies ist ein umfassendes und kritisches akademisches Werk, das untersucht, wie der Konsumismus im 21. Jahrhundert zu einer strukturierenden Kraft für Subjektivität, soziale Beziehungen und Ungleichheiten geworden ist. Basierend auf einem interdisziplinären Ansatz, der Sozialpsychologie, kritische Soziologie, digitale Technologie und Konsumtheorie verbindet, bietet das Buch eine tiefgreifende Analyse der symbolischen, affektiven und algorithmischen Mechanismen, die das Verbraucherverhalten im Zeitalter digitaler Plattformen prägen.

The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it.

In 1890s America Thorstein Veblen attacked a careless acceptance of prevailing social structures, identifying ancient roots for ‘pecuniary culture’ and ‘conspicuous consumption’–realities that promoted materialism and squashed fulfilment. In The Theory of the Leisure Class the worthy Engineer, creating essential products for all, is pitted against the predatory Businessman, exempt from grubby industrial toil and focussed on useless profits.

Ein leidenschaftlicher Appell gegen extremen Reichtum – und für eine gerechtere Gesellschaft. Sebastian Klein zeigt, wie gefährlich Ungleichheit für unsere Demokratie ist, warum sie soziale Spannungen verschärft, den Klimawandel befeuert – und wie wir mit mehr Steuergerechtigkeit gegensteuern können.

Desde mediados del siglo XX, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado en occidente de veinte a treinta años, lo que equivale a toda una existencia en el siglo XVII. Así pues, al llegar a los cincuenta años, experimentamos una suerte de suspensión entre la madurez y la vejez, un intervalo en el que la brevedad de la vida realmente comienza, mientras nos planteamos las grandes cuestiones de nuestra condición.

So, wie andere Vinylplatten, Videospielkonsolen oder Vintage-Kleider sammeln, sammelt Rolf Dobelli seit Jahren Geschichten von Misserfolgen – Fehlschläge im Leben, in Karrieren, Ehen und Familien.

Ein Hörbuch, das man jedem jungen Erwachsenen in die Hand drücken möchte.

"A Plea for Voluntaryism" by Auberon Herbert is a passionate advocacy for a society based entirely on voluntary cooperation and free association, without any form of coercion or compulsion.

The underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho -black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults - this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture.

Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe.

En este breve ensayo, ¿Qué es el Dinero?, Tolstói analiza el dinero no solo como herramienta económica, sino como símbolo de poder y desigualdad. Sostiene que el dinero permite a unos pocos vivir a expensas del trabajo de muchos, y que su acumulación casi siempre implica injusticia. Para él, el sistema económico moderno es inmoral porque legitima la explotación y aleja al ser humano de una vida sencilla y justa.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau es recordado como uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo XVIII, pero su obra El Contrato Social es más que un tratado político: es también una guía profunda para la libertad personal, la autodisciplina y el crecimiento interior. Si bien se enmarca en el contexto de cómo debe organizarse un Estado justo, sus enseñanzas pueden leerse como una metáfora poderosa sobre cómo ser el soberano de tu propia vida.
