Der neue ›Precht‹ über die internationale Politik im 21. Jahrhundert. Die Welt befindet sich im Umbruch. Von einer von den USA dominierten zu einer multipolaren Weltordnung mit China und Indien als neuen Machtzentren. Das schleichende Ende der Pax Americana stellt die Europäer vor eine enorme Herausforderung: Wie gehen wir mit dem Aufstieg dieser Länder um? Die Gefahr wächst, dass wir es nicht schaffen, auf globaler Ebene auf neue Feindbilder zu verzichten.

Jahrzehntelang galt er als angesehener Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater. Eltern vertrauten ihm, Jugendämter arbeiteten mit ihm zusammen, seine Bücher wurden Bestseller.

This urgent and eye-opening book makes the case that protecting humanity's future is the central challenge of our time. If all goes well, human history is just beginning. Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back.

"Der Mann, der in Reichtum stirbt, stirbt in Schande!" In der Tat, das sagte Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919), seinerzeit drittreichster Amerikaner nach John D. Rockefeller und Cornelius Vanderbilt. Gemessen an der Kaufkraft von 2014, besaß er ein Vermögen von über 300 Milliarden Dollar – und gab doch das meiste davon für wohltätige Zwecke wieder her. Er ließ zahlreiche Bibliotheken bauen, gründete eine Hochschule und förderte den Bau des Internationalen Gerichtshofs in Den Haag.

Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronize businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately we often base these decisions on assumptions and emotions rather than facts. As a result even our best intentions often lead to ineffective - and sometimes downright harmful - outcomes. How can we do better?

Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time.

La plus grande perte de notre temps, écrit Rutger Bregman , est la perte de talent. Des millions de personnes pourraient contribuer à améliorer les choses, mais ne le font pas.

In The Bushido of Bitcoin I distill lessons from experience and the great stories of the past into a playbook for the modern warrior: for the new elite to channel their power, wealth and influence with Character. It combines insights from powerful military cultures with the great thinkers of all time: Nitobe, Nietzsche, Spengler and Hoppe; Feudalism, Christianity and Austrian Economics. The book focuses on virtue in action – not morality. My goal is to show you how the great and noble behave. All warrior cultures lived by codes of virtue, and it's time we found ours.

This essay discusses the essentials of Rand's ethics and its crucial relevance to America's intellectual, moral, and political crisis. There are overtones applicable to America. It serves as an excellent commentary on the historical and cultural significance of her ethics and the view of man as a moral ideal.

An analysis about how humanism was replacing religion in modern morality.

If a country's Gross Domestic Product increases each year, but so does the percentage of its people deprived of basic education, health care, and other opportunities, is that country really making progress? If we rely on conventional economic indicators, can we ever grasp how the world's billions of individuals are really managing? In this powerful critique, Martha Nussbaum argues that our dominant theories of development have given us policies that ignore our most basic human needs for dignity and self-respect.

Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated.
