'It's often said that books are compulsory reading, but this book really is compulsory. You cannot understand slavery, or British Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera Arguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since.Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision. Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress.'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker

A timely defense of liberalism that draws vital lessons from its greatest midcentury proponentsToday, liberalism faces threats from across the political spectrum. While right-wing populists and leftist purists righteously violate liberal norms, theorists of liberalism seem to have little to say. In Liberalism in Dark Times, Joshua Cherniss issues a rousing defense of the liberal tradition, drawing on a neglected strand of liberal thought.Assaults on liberalism-a political order characterized by limits on political power and respect for individual rights-are nothing new. Early in the twentieth century, democracy was under attack around the world, with one country after another succumbing to dictatorship. While many intellectuals dismissed liberalism as outdated, unrealistic, or unworthy, a handful of writers defended and reinvigorated the liberal ideal, including Max Weber, Raymond Aron, Albert Camus, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Isaiah Berlin-each of whom is given a compelling new assessment here.Building on the work of these thinkers, Cherniss urges us to imagine liberalism not as a set of policies but as a temperament or disposition-one marked by openness to complexity, willingness to acknowledge uncertainty, tolerance for difference, and resistance to ruthlessness. In the face of rising political fanaticism, he persuasively argues for the continuing importance of this liberal ethos.

A comprehensive account of 'waking up' to the realities of climate crisis, social breakdown and personal agency and a coherent and radical alternative to current socio-political turbulence.
The Great Reset is 100% certain to fail. We based this conviction on the analytical model of his unique A.I. 'Socrates', which has proven to be astonishingly accurate so many times over for decades. We have a group of elderly people over 80 trying to take over the world and push through this Fourth Industrial Revolution. They are probably hoping for a quick advance in medicine to avoid death. The good news is that this whole attempt to redesign the world and create a future where they become immortal and stay on top will fail.''In 2022-2023, according to our models, we will have panic cycles around the world such as have not occurred since the 1930s. Before that there was the period 1917-1923, with revolutions in Russia and Germany. The larger German revolution led to the monarchy, but also to similar revolutions such as the Soviet Republic, the Hungarian Revolution, and the Biennio Rosso revolution in Italy. There were many other smaller uprisings, protests and strikes that resulted from the economic losses of World War I.'It is hopeful that our future leaders are already coming forward. Young people are also beginning to wake up (not the fake 'woke', which is an extremist extension of old thinking). These are the ones who will soon be allowed to build the real New World; a world where everything that is now 'Big', 'Great' and collectivist will have been definitively settled and where the well-being and maximum development of each individual will finally be central.Grab your copy, now and read more about the real truth of the current state of affairs!

O'Rourke shows us how states really...
