Capitalism and Its Critics
A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics
At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence.
John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics.
Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.

Roger Fry

From his curation of one of the most important collections in New York and groundbreaking exhibitions in London, to his launch of the Omega Workshops with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Fry introduced post-impressionism, radicalized interiors and changed the landscape of 20th-century art. His introduction of Cézanne, Van Gogh and Matisse to the British audience played a significant role in a legacy that still inspires today. Often overlooked, Fry was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art in Britain, giving a generation of modern British artists their first exhibitions, while also creating art himself. Roger Fry: Bloomsbury and the Invention of Modern Art offers a compelling portrait of his extraordinary career and his pivotal role in redefining British art.

Krádež
Abdulrazak Gurnah nám ve svém nejnovějším románu, prvním od chvíle, kdy v roce 2021 získal Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, předkládá subtilní příběh o dospívání, vině, touze a hledání vlastní identity ve světě poznamenaném koloniální minulostí.
S empatií a vypravěčskou jistotou sleduje autor osudy tří hlavních postav, jejichž životy se protínají v prostředí, kde osobní rozhodnutí nikdy nejsou zcela oddělena od širších historických a společenských vlivů. Gurnah rozplétá jejich vztahy s trpělivostí a citem pro detail, přičemž postupně odhaluje skryté motivace, zklamání i naděje.
Krádež je zároveň intimním příběhem dospívání i široce pojatým obrazem postkoloniální reality - světa, v němž se minulost neustále vrací a ovlivňuje přítomnost. V závěru, plném napětí a katarze, se jednotlivé dějové linie propojují v překvapivé, a přitom nevyhnutelné rozuzlení.
Gurnahův román je výjimečný svou schopností probouzet porozumění: nenápadně, ale vytrvale nás vede k tomu, abychom méně soudili a více chápali - druhé i sami sebe.
Román Theft představuje návrat autora do rodné Tanzanie a navazuje na témata, která charakterizují jeho dosavadní tvorbu - otázku identity, vykořenění, sociální nerovnosti a vztahu mezi Afrikou a Evropou v globalizovaném světě.

Irregular Army
An explosive investigation into how America’s longest wars created a threat from within by flooding the U.S. military with extremists now fueling MAGA, domestic terror, and the global far right.In this new edition of Irregular Army, investigative journalist Matt Kennard delivers a searing exposé of how the U.S. military’s recruitment crisis during the War on Terror opened the ranks to some of the most dangerous elements in American society—white supremacists, neo-Nazis, gang members, and convicted criminals. This updated edition deepens the original’s urgent warning, connecting those recruitment policies directly to the rise of MAGA extremism, Trumpism, and the global resurgence of fascism.Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and interviews with extremist veterans and military insiders, Kennard reveals how the Pentagon knowingly empowered violent ideologues in its desperation to staff the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now back on American soil—and in some cases in positions of power—many of these veterans see their mission continuing through race war fantasies, far-right organizing, and criminal enterprises.With chilling clarity, Irregular Army links the War on Terror’s domestic fallout to the January 6 insurrection, the militarization of MAGA politics, and the broader threats of global instability. As Trump returns to the White House and the Pentagon edges further right, Kennard’s book is an essential account of how American imperial violence abroad is fueling authoritarian danger at home—and around the world.
