First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself.

For nearly two months, they held him hostage while a shocked world looked on, before eventually killing him and dumping his body in the middle of Rome. But who were this terrorist group?

In 1776 the Founding Fathers announced to the world America’s plans for independence. For the first time in history, there was to be a nation and a government dedicated to the individual’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But from inception, and from both within and without, the ideals of the new nation were under attack. Without a full justification of an individual’s moral right to pursue his own life and happiness—not serve his neighbors, God or country—the nation was vulnerable, and its founding principles were slowly chipped away. In 1957 the missing ...

The Radical Mind is a groundbreaking analysis of the origins of the Christian Right, whose political victories are radically reshaping the landscape of American society.

He offers antidotes to the angry, repetitive, and unproductive arguments that now dominate our political culture.

Sean Prophet was vice president of a millenarian cult that predicted nuclear war and prepared to survive it—building massive underground bomb shelters and stockpiling food and weapons for thousands of followers.

The cult was founded in 1958 by his father, Mark Prophet, and later led by his mother, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, both of whom claimed to channel “Ascended Masters.

Profit Without Apology is a moral defense of business in a culture that treats financial success as guilt and profit as vice. It argues that businessmen—far from being exploiters—are the creators of modern life, and that their pursuit of profit is not something to hide or downplay, but to champion with pride. Challenging the dominant ethic of self-sacrifice, this book makes the case for a new moral ideal—one that recognizes production as a virtue, trade as justice, and the businessman as a moral hero.

He didn’t just rule a country—he crushed it into silence. Behind the iron curtain, one man rose from obscurity to become a ruthless architect of fear.

From secret police raids to forced famines, from propaganda to purges, this gripping true account exposes how Stalin turned loyalty into obedience… and obedience into survival.

Sein neues Buch ist eine liberale Kampfansage, ein Aufruf zur Rückkehr zu echten demokratischen Werten und zum Kampf für die Freiheit—auch wenn sie mit unbequemen Debatten verbunden ist.

Estripar la terra exposa les mentides del món rural i fa una reflexió de la percepció enganyosa que tenim del nostre entorn.

Amb un llenguatge evocador i poètic, però alhora amb un estil provocador i sense complexos, ens fa replantejar les prioritats per combatre els discursos de la lògica del capitalisme.
