Identita
Pred piatimi rokmi Francis Fukuyama napísal, že americké inštitúcie upadajú, pretože ich stále viac ovládajú silné záujmové skupiny. O dva roky sa jeho predpoveď vyplnila, keď sa k moci dostali viacerí politickí outsideri, ktorých ekonomický nacionalizmus a autoritárske sklony ohrozujú celý svetový poriadok. Nacionalistickí populisti vsadili na charizmatické prepojenie s "ľudom". Pracujú s úzkym chápaním identity, čo ľudí ženie do uzavretých skupín, ktoré vylučujú všetkých ostatných.
Univerzálne uznanie rovnosti, ktoré je základom liberálnej demokracie, stále častejšie spochybňujú užšími podobami uznania, založenými napríklad na národe, náboženstve alebo rase. Vyústilo to do vlny protiimigrantského populizmu, spolitizovaného islamu či bieleho nacionalizmu. Fukuyama napísal aktuálnu a dôležitú knihu - vážne varovanie, že ak nevytvoríme univerzálne chápanie ľudskej dôstojnosti, odsúdime sa na nepretržitý konflikt.

Na úsvitu dějin české sociální demokracie
Poslední dílo prof. Zdeňka Kárníka se zabývá nejstarší historií dělnického hnutí v českých zemích. Badatelsky objevné dílo začíná líčením prvních pokusů dělníků organizovat se na obranu svých zájmů v Čechách koncem první poloviny 19. století, to vše na pozadí rozvoje průmyslu a české společnosti, a do detailů pokrývá historii dělnického hnutí až do stabilizace sociální demokracie na českobudějovickém vánočním sjezdu v roce 1893. Nově a do hloubky osvětluje význam břevnovského sjezdu 1878 i události tragických 80. let, kdy rakouské sociálnědemokratické hnutí málem zaniklo. Dílo přináší i novátorské pohledy na dějiny českého politického myšlení a je cenným příspěvkem k novodobým českým hospodářským a sociálním dějinám vůbec. V literatuře nezatížené totalitním pohledem nemá toto zpracování tématu obdoby.
The Sky is Falling
In The Sky is Falling! bestselling cultural critic Peter Biskind takes us on a dizzying ride across two decades of pop culture to show how the TV and movies we love - from Game of Thrones and 24 to Homeland and Iron Man - have taught us to love political extremism. Welcome to a darkly pessimistic, apocalyptic world where winter has come, the dead are walking, and ultra violence, revenge and torture are all in a day's work. Welcome to the new normal.
The Responsible Globalist
An incisive, optimistic manifesto for a more inclusive globalism
Today, globalism has a bad reputation. 'Citizens of the world' are depicted as recklessly uninterested in how international economic networks can affect local communities. Meanwhile, nationalists are often derided as racists and bigots. But what if the two were not so far apart? What could globalists learn from the powerful sense of belonging that nationalism has created? Faced with the injustices of the world's economic and political system, what should a responsible globalist do?
British-Iraqi development expert Hassan Damluji proposes six principles - from changing how we think about mobility to shutting down tax havens - which can help build consensus for a stronger globalist identity. He demonstrates that globalism is not limited to 'Davos man' but is a truly mass phenomenon that is growing fastest in emerging countries. Rather than a 'nowhere' identity, it is a new group solidarity that sits alongside other allegiances.
With a wealth of examples from the United States to India, China and the Middle East, The Responsible Globalist offers a boldly optimistic and pragmatic blueprint for building an inclusive, global nation. This will be a century-long project, where success is not guaranteed. But unless we can reimagine humanity as a single national community, Damluji warns, the gravest threats we face will not be defeated.
Voices of History: Speeches that Changed the World
VOICES OF HISTORY celebrates the great speeches of world history and cultural life. In this exuberant collection, acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore takes us on a journey from ancient times to the twenty-first century: some speeches are heroic and inspiring; some diabolical and atrocious; some are exquisite and poignant; others cruel and chilling. The speakers themselves vary from empresses and conquerors to novelists, sportsmen, dreamers and killers, from Churchill and Elizabeth I to Stalin and Genghis Khan, and from Michelle Obama and Cleopatra to Nehru and Muhammad Ali.
All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table-talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells, VOICES OF HISTORY spans centuries, continents and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading, and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present and inspire - and hold warnings for - our future.
For The Record
The referendum on Britain's membership of the EU is one of the most controversial political events of our times. For the first time, the man who called that vote talks about the decision and its origins, as well as giving a candid account of his time at the top of British politics.
David Cameron was Conservative Party leader during the largest financial crash in living memory. The Arab Spring and the Eurozone crisis both started during his first year as prime minister. The backdrop to his time in office included the advent of ISIS, surging migration and a rapidly changing EU.
Here he talks about how he confronted those challenges, from modernising a party that had suffered three successive electoral defeats to forming the first coalition government for seventy years. He sets out how he helped turn around Britain's economy, implementing a modern, compassionate agenda that included education and welfare reform, the legalisation of gay marriage, the referendum on Scottish independence and world-leading environmental policies.
David Cameron is searingly honest about the key players from his time in politics. And he is frank about himself - the things he got right and the things he got wrong. He opens up about family life too, including the tragic loss of his eldest son.
We learn why he kept Britain's promise on overseas aid spending and what it was like to commit British troops to conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria. He sets out how he won the first outright Conservative majority in nearly a quarter of a century, and describes the events leading up to the EU referendum, the renegotiation, the campaign - and his thoughts on it all today.
It is the most compelling record yet of what it's like to lead in modern times and to live behind the most famous door in the world.
The Madness of Crowds - Gender, Race and Identity
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year
'Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues' - Jordan B. Peterson
'[Murray's] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone' - Richard Dawkins
In his devastating new book The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century's most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and 'intersectionality'.
We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal - and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.
Readers of all political persuasions cannot afford to ignore Murray's masterfully argued and fiercely provocative book, in which he seeks to inject some sense into the discussion around this generation's most complicated issues. He ends with an impassioned call for free speech, shared common values and sanity in an age of mass hysteria.
Drama zvané brexit
Odchod Spojeného království z Evropské unie patří k nejdramatičtějším momentům začátku 21. století. Trvá už tři roky a zatím není jasné, kdy a jak se odehraje. Byl opravdu nevyhnutelný? Proč se Britové rozhodli odejít z Evropské unie? A jak se na tomto rozhodnutí podepsala migrace ze střední a východní Evropy?
Na tyto otázky hledá odpověď zpravodaj Českého rozhlasu ve Velké Británii Jaromír Marek, který sleduje dění přímo na místě. Jeho kniha popisuje příčiny brexitu i dramatické boje v parlamentu, které tento proces dosud provázely. Čtenáře seznámí nejen s hlavními postavami brexitového dramatu, ale i s pohledem běžných lidí. Jak oni brexit prožívali a jak zasáhl do jejich životů? Dozvíme se i to, proč se zatím brexit zastavil na irské hranici. A jak se v něm jako bumerang vracejí staré historické křivdy.
Dospeláci v miestnosti
Zahryznite sa do skutočného európskeho politického trileru. Tajné nahrávky. Prepisy telefonátov. Úskoky. Falošné úsmevy. A bezohľadné intrigy. Nahliadnite za oponu moci v nevšednom osobnom spracovaní bývalého gréckeho ministra financií Janisa Varoufakisa.
Počas gréckeho krachu v roku 2015 sa európski lídri na spoločných stretnutiach snažili nájsť cestu a východisko z krízy.
Vtedajší grécky minister financií s nimi rozohral jednu z najveľkolepejších a najkontroverznejších politických bitiek histórie, keď sa pokúsil o prerokovanie vzťahov svojej krajiny k Európskej únii. S masovou podporou gréckeho obyvateľstva a jednoduchou logikou svojich argumentov privádzal vedenie Európskej únie do šialenstva. Skutočný príbeh o tom, čo sa dialo za zavretými dverami však zostával dlho neznámy.
Varoufakisove nebojácne ťahy odkrývajú faloš a pokrytectvo politickej moci, ktorá sa viac ako o stabilitu usiluje o vlastný prospech a zároveň s chirurgickou presnosťou popisujú fungovanie politického zákulisia.
Dospeláci v miestnosti sú mimoriadne dôležitým a vážnym zvonením na poplach. Zobuďme sa a pomôžme európskej demokracii k znovuzrodeniu!
21 Lessons for the 21st Century
**THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER**
The future is here. Learn to live in it.
In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment.
How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari takes us on a thrilling journey through today's most urgent issues. The golden thread running through his exhilarating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of constant and disorienting change. Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?
`Fascinating... compelling... [Harari] has teed up a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the 21st century' Bill Gates, New York Times
`Truly mind-expanding... Ultra-topical' Guardian
`21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book' Adam Kay
Identity
Currently in Bill Gates's bookbag and FT Books of 2018
Increasingly, the demands of identity direct the world's politics. Nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, gender: these categories have overtaken broader, inclusive ideas of who we are. We have built walls rather than bridges. The result: increasing in anti-immigrant sentiment, rioting on college campuses, and the return of open white supremacy to our politics.
In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American and global institutions were in a state of decay, as the state was captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatens to destabilise the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to 'the people', who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.
Identity is an urgent and necessary book: a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continual conflict.
Vzpoura proti zkáze
Již před zvolením Donalda Trumpa směřoval svět ke klimatické katastrofě. S prezidentem Trumpem sešlápl pedál plynu a přidal na rychlosti. Zbývá nám ostatním nějaká možnost, jak sešlápnout brzdu?
Klimatickou vzpourou rozumíme strategii, která chce získat podporu většiny veřejnosti pro prosazení našeho společného zájmu na ochraně stabilního klimatu. Hodlá využít masových, globálně koordinovaných, nenásilných přímých akcí k podvrácení moci těch politiků a korporací, které se podílejí na ničení klimatického systému.
Globální klimatická vzpoura již začala. Má potenciál vzepřít se moci fosilního průmyslu a zastavit a zvrátit směřování ke klimatickému rozvratu.
Blind Man's Brexit
'Essential reading for anyone anxious to understand the background to the Brexit debate' Tablet
With all the political infighting in British politics over Brexit dominating the news cycle, we almost forgot who we were negotiating with. Now, in Blind Man's Brexit, we get to see and hear exactly what was going on in the corridors of power in Brussels, and how the EU comprehensively outmanoeuvred the UK government.
When Lode Desmet met Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's representative on Brexit, about filming a fly-on-the-wall documentary on the negotiations, he could never have imagined the unique access he would be granted and the extraordinary story that he would end up filming. As the cameras rolled, Lode sat in on private conversations with chief negotiator Michel Barnier and saw first hand how Theresa May's government's negotiating positions were knocked back time after time. The results were aired in the BBC documentary series Brexit: Behind Closed Doors.
Written with distinguished political commentator Edward Stourton, who also provides a British perspective on events, Blind Man's Brexit goes beyond the documentary to reveal a staggering and unprecedented failure of diplomacy on one side and contrasts the very clearly defined aims and goals of the EU side. Many books have attempted to tell the story of what happened, but this one has completely unfiltered access to events as viewed by the EU, and shows exactly why, how and where the Brexit negotiations went so spectacularly wrong, resulting in our departure from the EU being delayed beyond 29 March 2019 as the UK was left in limbo and its political system in disarray.
Je to horší, než jsem si myslel
Kniha Ivo Strejčka s názvem Je to horší, než jsem si myslel, je výběrem článků, rozhovorů a názorových komentářů autora z let 2015-2018, které publikoval pod hlavičkou Institutu Václava Klause. Bývalý europoslanec a v současnosti člen správní rady IVK popisuje svou motivaci pro poněkud pochmurný název knihy následujícími slovy.
15. dubna 2019 vzplála část historické katedrály Notre-Dame. Douglas Murray, britský žurnalista a autor knihy Podivná smrt Evropy, tuto smutnou událost v Paříži komentoval slovy, že už navždy budeme pro dějiny generací, která ztratila Notre-Dame. Vypůjčím si Murrayův názor k tomu, abych zdůraznil, že alarmujícím poselstvím sborníku, který právě otvíráte, má být varovné připomenutí, že neztrácíme pouze Notre-Dame, ale že ztrácíme celou civilizaci, které je Notre-Dame symbolem a při tom se tváříme, že to buď nevidíme, nebo že nám to nevadí, nebo bohužel to vítáme. A proto je to horší, než jsem si myslel.
How to Lose a Country
`It couldn't happen here'
Ece Temelkuran heard reasonable people in Britain say it the night of the Brexit vote.
She heard reasonable people in America say it the night Trump's election was soundtracked by chants of `Build that wall.'
She heard reasonable people in Turkey say it as Erdogan rigged elections, rebuilt the economy around cronyism, and labelled his opposition as terrorists.
How to Lose a Country is an impassioned plea, a warning to the world that populism and nationalism don't march fully-formed into government; they creep. Award winning author and journalist Ece Temelkuran, identifies the early-warning signs of this phenomenon, sprouting up across the world from Eastern Europe to South America, in order to define a global pattern, and arm the reader with the tools to root it out.
Proposing alternative, global answers to the pressing - and too often paralysing - poltical questions of our time, Temelkuran explores the insidious idea of `real people', the infantilisation of language and debate, the way laughter can prove a false friend, and the dangers of underestimating one's opponent. She weaves memoir, history and clear-sighted argument into an urgent and eloquent defence of democracy.
No longer can the reasonable comfort themselves with `it couldn't happen here.' It is happening. And soon it may be too late.
Proof of Conspiracy
The dramatic and meticulously researched new book from former criminal defence attorney and criminal investigator Seth Abramson into the complex web of ties surrounding Donald Trump, showing how Proof of Collusion was only the beginning of the story.
In late 2015, international dealmaker and current cooperating witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation George Nader convened a secret meeting aboard a massive luxury yacht in the Red Sea. Nader pitched to several Middle Eastern leaders a plan for a new pro-US, pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would fundamentally alter the geopolitics of the Middle East while marginalising Iran, Syria and Turkey. To succeed, the plan would need a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions on Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his support for Iran. The gathered leaders agreed their perfect American partner was Donald Trump, who had benefited immensely from his Saudi, Emirati and Russian dealings for many years, and who had, months earlier, become the only US presidential candidate to argue for a unilateral end to Russian sanctions.
So begins New York Times bestselling author Seth Abramson's explosive new book Proof of Conspiracy: How Trump's International Collusion Threatens American Democracy, a story of international intrigue whose massive cast of characters includes Israeli intelligence operatives, Russian oligarchs, Saudi death squads, American mercenary companies, Trump's innermost circle and several members of the Trump family - all part of a clandestine multinational agreement that takes us from Washington, DC and Moscow to the Middle Eastern capitals of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jerusalem, Cairo, Tehran and Doha.
Proof of Conspiracy is a chilling and unforgettable depiction of the dangers the world now faces.
How Not To Be Wrong
There's no point having a mind if you're not willing to change it
James O'Brien has built well over a million loyal listeners to his radio show by dissecting the opinions of callers live on air, every day. But winning the argument doesn't necessarily mean you're right.
In this deeply personal book, James turns the mirror on himself to reveal what he has changed his mind about and why, and explores how examining and changing our own views is our new civic duty in a world of outrage, disagreement and echo chambers. He writes candidly about the stiff upper lip attitudes and toxic masculinity that coloured his childhood, and the therapy and personal growth that have led him question his assumptions and explore new perspectives. Laying open his personal views on everything from racial prejudice to emotional vulnerability, from fat-shaming to tattoos, he then delves into the real reasons -- often irrational or unconscious -- he holds them.
Unflinchingly honest, revealing and funny, How Not to Be Wrong is a tonic for a world more divided than ever and a personal manifesto for a better way of thinking and living.
Because after all, if we can't change our own minds we'll never really be able to change anyone else's.
