How Democracies Die - Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

''The most important book of the Trump era'' The EconomistHow does a democracy die? What can we do to save our own? What lessons does history teach us? In the 21st century democracy is threatened like never before. Drawing insightful lessons from across history - from Pinochet''s murderous Chilean regime to Erdogan''s quiet dismantling in Turkey - Levitsky and Ziblatt explain why democracies fail, how leaders like Trump subvert them today and what each of us can do to protect our democratic rights. ''This book looks to history to provide a guide for defending democratic norms when they are under threat, and finds that it is possible to fight back.''

Tyranny of the Minority: How to Reverse an Authoritarian Turn, and Forge a Democracy for All - Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

How has democracy become so threatened – and what can we do to save it?With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples – from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand – to explore right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system, and to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens’ movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it’s too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy – and to understand where future threats may come from.

Jak umírá demokracie - Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

Když Donald Trump vyhrál volby, mnozí si položili otázku, o níž si nikdo nemyslel, že si ji budeme klást: Je demokracie v USA v ohrožení? Steven Levitsky a Daniel Ziblatt, profesoři Harvardovy univerzity, se rozpadem demokracií v Evropě a Latinské Americe zabývají již více než dvacet let. Oba si myslí, že odpověď na výše položenou otázku je ano. Demokracie už dnes neumírá s výstřely - během revolucí nebo vojenských pučů -, ale pomalu, neustálým ochabováním "hlídacích psů demokracie", tedy justice a tisku, a rostoucí erozí základních politických norem. Ještě stále však máme možnost cestu k autoritářskému režimu opustit. Levitsky a Ziblatt staví na desítkách let výzkumů a široké řadě historických a globálních příkladů sahajících od Evropy třicátých let k dnešnímu Maďarsku, od Turecka a Venezuely až po americký Jih během platnosti zákonů Jima Crowa. Ukazují na nich, jak demokracie umírá - a jak může být ještě zachráněna.

In this razor-sharp analysis, Levitsky and Ziblatt offer in particular an urgent warning about right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system. Multiracial democracy is something few societies have ever achieved – but even the prospect of this change can spark an authoritarian backlash whose dangerous effects will resonate long into the future. Donald Trump’s astonishing lead in the run-up to the Republican nomination, even after his indictment and imprisonment on charges of election interference, is evidence of that.

They Don't Represent Us: And Here's How They Could - A Blueprint for Reclaiming Our Democracy - Lawrence Lessig

WITH A NEW AFTERWORD ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION“This urgent book offers not only a clear-eyed explanation of the forces that broke our politics, but a thoughtful and, yes, patriotic vision of how we create a government that’s truly by and for the people.”—DAVID DALEY, bestselling author of Ratf**ked and UnriggedIn the vein of On Tyranny and How Democracies Die, the bestselling author of Republic, Lost argues with insight and urgency that our democracy no longer represents us and shows that reform is both necessary and possible. America’s democracy is in crisis. Along many dimensions, a single flaw—unrepresentativeness—has detached our government from the people. And as a people, our fractured partisanship and ignorance on critical issues drive our leaders to stake out ever more extreme positions. In They Don’t Represent Us, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig charts the way in which the fundamental institutions of our democracy, including our media, respond to narrow interests rather than to the needs and wishes of the nation’s citizenry. But the blame does not only lie with “them”—Washington’s politicians and power brokers, Lessig argues. The problem is also “us.” “We the people” are increasingly uninformed about the issues, while ubiquitous political polling exacerbates the problem, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

How Democracies Live - Stein Ringen

Times have not been kind to democracy. This book is in its defense. In the new century, the triumph of democracy at the end of the Cold War turned to retrenchment. The core democracies, in America and Britain, succumbed to polarization and misrule. Dictatorships, such as China, made themselves assertive. New democracies in Central Europe turned to muddled ideologies of "illiberal democracy." In this book, Stein Ringen offers a meditation on what democracy is, the challenges it faces, and how it can be defended. Ringen argues that democracy must be rooted in a culture that supports the ability of citizens to exchange views and information among themselves and with their rulers. Drawing on the ideas of Machiavelli, Aristotle, Tocqueville, Max Weber, and others, Ringen shows how power is the fuel of government, and statecraft turns power into effective rule. Democracy should prize freedom and minimizing unfairness, especially poverty. Altogether, Ringen offers powerful insight on the meaning of democracy, including a new definition, and how countries can improve upon it and make it function more effectively. Timely and thought-provoking, How Democracies Live is a sober reminder of the majesty of the democratic enterprise.

Paranoia - Daniel Freeman

''A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS''FASCINATING… SHOCKING'' SPECTATORWhat is paranoia? What makes us anxious? How can this be overcome?Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.This is also a practical book.

But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew and Peru’s Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power.

On Democracies and Death Cults - Douglas Murray

From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorIn On Democracies and Death Cults, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism.Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence. Deeply reasoned, clear-eyed and grounded in fact, On Democracies and Death Cults is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its ...

How We Live and Why We Die - Lewis Wolpert

Cells are the basis of all life in the universe. Our bodies are made up of billions of them: an incredibly complex society that governs everything, from movement to memory and imagination. When we age, it is because our cells slow down; when we get ill, it is because our cells mutate or stop working.In How We Live and Why we Die, Wolpert provides a clear explanation of the science that underpins our lives. He explains how our bodies function and how we derived from a single cell - the embryo. He examines the science behind the topics that are much discussed but rarely understood - stem-cell research, cloning, DNA - and explains how all life evolved from just one cell. Lively and passionate, How We Live and Why we Die is an accessible guide to understanding the human body and, essentially, life itself.

How to Worship for All Its Worth - Steven Felix-Jager

Worship of God is at the heart of the Christian life. But it also varies widely across different churches and traditions. What, then, should our worship look like? And what does it mean to worship God well?In How to Worship for All Its Worth, theologian, artist, and songwriter Steven Félix-Jäger offers four principles for contemporary worship: it should be biblically faithful; aesthetically rich yet appropriate; theologically sound and robust; and pastorally sensitive but challenging.Demonstrating what these principles look like in practice, he also offers case studies from a range of churches and traditions, including Evangelical, Reformed, Pentecostal, Black Gospel, and Charismatic Catholic worshiping communities. Collectively, these principles and case studies can help the body of Christ, which is both one yet diverse, as it seeks to worship God well.

Skrytá tajemství keto diety - Revoluční poznatky, více benefitů bez strádání - Steven R. Gundry

NENÍ TO TAK, JAK SI MYSLÍTE! Další kniha doktora Gundryho odhaluje nový a neuvěřitelný paradox související s ketony a jejich vlivem na snižování tělesné váhy, zdraví a dlouhověkost. Jeho výzkum ukázal, že ketony nejsou nějakým zvláštním zdrojem zázračného buněčného paliva.Spíše fungují jako životně důležité signalizační molekuly, které dávají mitochondriím povel, aby se pustily do práce a začaly spalovat kalorie. Nejnovější výzkumy však ukazují, že úloha mitochondrií zahrnuje mnohem víc než jen tvorbu energie. Mají nepostradatelný vliv nejen na přežití, ale také na dlouhověkost.Abyste skutečně pochopili, jak mitochondrie fungují, musíte zapomenout na vše, co jste si mysleli, že víte o ketonech. Až pochopíte, jak mitochondrie ovlivňují váš metabolismus, už si nebudete muset dělat starosti kvůli procentům tuku, proporcím makroživin, kaloriím ani dalším měrným jednotkám. Nový pohled na mitochondrie otevírá zdravou cestu pro lidi, kteří by chtěli ketogenní dietu vyzkoušet, ale nedokázali se vyrovnat s podmínkou konzumace spousty tuků – chcete-li využít příznivého vlivu ketonů, nemusíte jíst obrovské množství nasycených tuků.
