Hayek's Bastards
A revelatory exploration of how today's right-wing authoritarianism emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but from within it
FINALIST FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS
'Bracingly original... Hayek's Bastards demonstrates how a history of ideas can be riveting... His book offers an illuminating history to our current bewildering moment, as right-wing populists join forces with billionaire oligarchs to take a chain saw to the foundations of public life, until there's nothing left to stand on' - Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
After the end of the Cold War, neoliberalism, with its belief in the virtues of markets and competition, seemed to have triumphed. Communism had been defeated - and Friedrich Hayek, the spiritual father of neoliberal economics, had just about lived to see it. But in the decades that followed, Hayek's disciples knew that they had a problem. The rise of social movements, from civil rights and feminism to environmentalism, were now proving roadblocks in the road to freedom, nurturing a culture of government dependency, public spending, political correctness and special pleading. Neoliberals needed an antidote.
In this illuminating new book, historian Quinn Slobodian reveals how, from the 1990s onwards, neoliberal thinkers turned to nature, in an attempt to roll back social changes and to return to a hierarchy of gender, race and cultural difference. He explores how these thinkers drew on the language of science, from cognitive psychology to genetics, in order to embed the idea of 'competition' ever deeper into social life, and to advocate cultural homogeneity as essential for markets to truly work. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neo-confederates, ethnonationalists that would become known as the alt-right.
Hayek's Bastards shows that many contemporary iterations of the Far Right, from Javier Milei to Donald Trump, emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but within it. As repellent as their politics may be, these supposed disruptors are not defectors from the neoliberal order, but its latest cheerleaders.

A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning
Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists – they’ve all confided in her'Remarkable' THE TIMESSome are harder to shake than others. There’s sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex’s window and threatened to cut off his… well, you get the picture. Jak, who burned down his grandfather’s shed and prized model railway. And who could forget Steve who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn’t for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth’s professional opinion, Britain’s most fastidious murderer. Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain’s probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer’s Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society’s most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.
Sum of Us
'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.
Age Against The Machine
We're here to blow apart some of the myths that prevent older workers from fully participating in the world of work. Work is the cornerstone of purpose, income and connection - typically denied to people as they get older either directly through ageism or indirectly through the misselling of the retirement dream.
The book is broken into two sections.
Part One:
This is a wake up call: readers need to understand the size and scale of the problem to ready themselves for the changes they need to make. By the end of part one, the reader will understand how retirement came about and why it's no longer fit for purpose. They'll know every marker of successful ageing is associated with those who work and feel through this a sense of purpose. They'll understand why recruitment is broken and how poorly prepared governments and organisations are to support them. In short, they will know the only way for them to help themselves and others, is to read part two.
Part Two
We help readers get their heads into gear by busting common myths (e.g. do a job you love). We provide a structure for people to navigate change in an ageist world and show them how to be a constructive age activist so they can become part of the solution.

Pioneers, Settlers, Villagers, and Warriors: Excavations at Ronaldsway Airport, Isle of Man
During 2008 and 2009, Oxford Archaeology completed an extensive campaign of archaeological excavation at Ronaldsway Airport, Isle of Man, as part of a programme of runway and taxiway extension, and other airport improvements, undertaken by the Isle of Man Airport Division (part of the Isle of Man Government Department of Transport). This investigation uncovered a range of highly significant archaeological remains that complement other important discoveries made at the airport in the mid-twentieth century, which have figured prominently in discussions of the archaeology of the island.This volume presents details of these recent discoveries, which included an extremely rare Mesolithic dwelling dating to the end of the ninth millennium cal BC, representing the island’s earliest known house, along with Mesolithic pits and artefact scatters. Other important discoveries included Neolithic and earlier Bronze Age timber structures, and well-preserved elements of a later Bronze Age ‘village’, which contained domestic roundhouses, ancillary buildings, and workshops engaged in the casting of bronze and lead objects. Evidence relating to an unenclosed Iron Age settlement was also identified, as well as two important Iron Age burials, one of which contained an Iron Age ‘warrior’ who had been graphically killed during an act of interpersonal violence. Other recorded remains, dated to the later medieval and postmedieval periods and furnish evidence for the form of the agricultural landscape that existed prior to the construction of the modern airport.This volume is the result of a multi-disciplinary approach to the archaeology, involving detailed analyses of buried remains, artefacts, and environmental remains, with the work of a range of authors from Oxford Archaeology, as well as several external specialists. The results greatly enhance an understanding of the archaeology of the Isle of Man, and, more generally, provide important information on prehistoric settlement, contacts, and connections in the Irish Sea region, and along Britain’s western seaboard.
Spade Among the Rushes
One of very few books available on Moidart in the north-west of Scotland, it evokes the enchanted, magical beauty of this much-loved area of the country. Margaret Leigh was already a successful author when her longing for freedom and independence led to her decision to become a crofter in the West Highlands. These memoirs describe her attempts to transform a deserted croft into a home, and her struggles to snatch land back from the wilderness. Although far from the Blitz, the effects of the war are felt throughout the Highlands, and the rationing of food and vital materials, the battles with bureaucrats who had no understanding of a crofter’s needs, and even the appearance of a Nazi mine off the coast, all frustrate Margaret Leigh’s efforts. But despite the hardships, the land and the people of the Highlands gave her a contentment and happiness she had never known before.

Policing on Drugs
Today, images of cartels, security agents donning face coverings, graphs depicting egregious murder rates, and military guards at US border crossings influence the world''s perception of Mexico. Mexico''s so-called drug war, as generally conceived by journalists and academics, was the product of recent cartel turf wars, the end of the PRI''s single party rule in 2000, and enhanced US border security measures post-9/11. These explanations are compelling, but they overlook state actions beginning in the 1970s that set the foundation for drug violence over the longer term.In Policing on Drugs, Aileen Teague chronicles a largely ignored but critical prehistory of intensified bilateral antidrug efforts by exploring their origins and inherent contradictions in Mexico. Beginning in the 1960s, US leaders externalized their aggressive domestic drug control practices by forcing junior partners such as Mexico into adopting their policies. Leaders on both sides of the border situated counternarcotics within a larger paradigm of militarized policing, which increased the power and influence of the military and aggressive counternarcotics in both countries. However, different security imperatives motivated US and Mexican agents, complicating enforcement in Mexico. Between 1969 and 2000, Mexico''s embrace of America''s punitive antidrug policies strengthened the coercive capacities of the Mexican state, exacerbated crime, and were so ineffective in an era of open trade blocs that they hastened the expansion of the drug trade.Drawing on such sources as records from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the US State Department, interviews with key officials, accounts from Mexican journalists, and rarely seen Mexican intelligence reports, Teague relates the war on drugs as a transnational story with deep historical roots in US and Mexican conceptions of policing and security. The negative impacts of US-led counternarcotics policies in Mexico can be attributed to the complex relationship between the United States'' and Mexico''s shared approach to the drug war--with critical implications for present-day relations.
Think Like a Forest
‘Beautiful and thought-provoking’ Cal FlynHow do we raise children in a climate emergenc? hat should we teach them - and what kind of future are we preparing them fo? en Rawlence began writing to his eldest daughter before she was born, trying to understand what it means to bring a child into a world facing ecological breakdown. Over the next twelve years, these letters – written to his two daughters as they grow – chart one father’s attempt to live with the central contradiction of our age: raising children within a system that threatens all life, including our own. By turns moving and funny, and always bracingly honest, Think Like a Forest explores love, fear and responsibility in perilous times. Rawlence finds the answers might lie in learning to see the world again through the eyes of a child so that we may embrace interdependence and regain our place in nature. To think like a forest, he shows us, may be the key to how we parent, how we live, and even whether we have a future on our planet at all. 'A gift, not just for the author’s daughters, but for all of us who want to replace ecocide anxiety with the glimmerings of a better future’ Sophy Roberts‘A thoughtful, tender way to make a map of new and frightening territory’ Jay Griffiths

Michelangelo a jeho zázraky
„Keď som tesal sochu Dávida, bol som plný nadšenia a mal som pocit, akoby mi ruku viedol sám Boh,“ hovorí vo svojom životopise najslávnejší umelec všetkých čias, Michelangelo Buonarroti. V prvej osobe rozpráva o tom, aký bol v mladých rokoch divoch, ale aj o tom, čo ho trápilo i tešilo, prečo mal málo priateľov a prečo tak neúnavne hľadal krásu. Najprv bol sochárom, potom maliarom a napokon architektom. Dnes je jeho dielo kultúrnym dedičstvom celého ľudstva.
Kniha zo série životopisov slávnych vedcov (Myšlienky géniov), ktoré napísal a vtipne zilustroval taliansky spisovateľ Luca Novelli tak, ako keby ich rozprávali oni sami. Je to zábavný a strhujúci spôsob, ako spoznať velikánov, ktorí ovplyvnili dejiny ľudstva a zároveň priblížiť vedu i umenie mladým čitateľom.
Pre deti od 8 rokov.

Amikor az ember azt hiszi, minden a helyére kerül, akkor jön egy újabb csapás.
Alicia visszatér Holtvölgybe, hogy helyre tegye azokat a dolgokat, amelyek a múltban megtörténtek: gyász, trauma, csalódás. Sok mindenen ment keresztül, ám az a célja, hogy legyőzze a fejében lakozó démonokat, hogy továbbléphessen, és boldog, nyugodt életet éljen. De ahogyan azt már megtanultuk, Holtvölgyben semmi nem olyan egyszerű.
Valaki ott lapul a sötétben. Valaki, aki nem képes továbblépni. Valaki, aki bármeddig hajlandó elmenni azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar.
Miközben Alicia igyekszik szabad lenni, és továbbra is meg akarja fejteni az egyik rejtélyes gyilkosságot, mely ezen a helyen történt, Olivér újra a lány kegyeiért teper. Ő sem adja fel könnyen, azonban ha igazán boldoggá akarja tenni őt, neki is szembe kell néznie valamivel. Azzal az énjével, melyet még ő maga sem ismer eléggé.
Vajon sikerül megküzdeniük az újabb nehézségekkel, vagy ezúttal végleg elnyeli őket a sötétség?
