Una radiografía de lo pijo en España, desde los señoritos del s. XIX a los cayetanos, pasando por la gauche divine o los yeyé. Un ensayo revelador sobre un fenómeno que va más allá de un arquetipo, y esconde el verdadero origen de la lucha de clases en la sociedad española.1853 Eugenia de Montijo pide su primer Luisvi1910 Alfonso XIII pone de moda el veraneo en el norte1950 La hija de Franco se casa con Cristobal Martinez- Bordiu, el pollopera1963 Marisol se pone un vestido de Dior en Rumbo a Rio1965 Abre Bocaccio en Barcelona1970 Julio Iglesias inaugura Puerto Banus1980 Primera sudadera Don Algodon1986 Hombres G llevan la palabra pijo a las masas1992 Isabel Preysler y Miguel Boyer se compran Villa Meona2002 Se casa la hija de Aznar en El Escorial2003 El Real Madrid ficha a David Beckham2011 Cayetano Martinez de Irujo: Los jornaleros andaluces tienen pocas ganas de trabajar.2016 Felipe Juan Froilan de Todos los Santos alcanza la mayoria de edad2023 Estalla la CayeborrokaHitos de la historia de España, tal como la cuenta Raquel Pelaez con mirada profundamente analitica y mordaz. La historia de un pais encandilado por las apariencias, donde el imaginario de veleros, monterias, cocteles y bolsos de lujo convive con una creciente y angustiosa desigualdad social.Cuando España se integro de lleno en la economia de libre mercado y adopto los habitos de consumo de las denominadas sociedades "libres" aparecio un arquetipo social que ya nunca ha desaparecido del imaginario español: el pijo. Aquellos jovenes alegres, despreocupados y consumistas, ni de izquierdas ni de derechas, que iban a conciertos de Hombres G con jerseys de colores pastel y plumiferos fluorescentes eran la cara luminosa y mullida del Estado de Bienestar y la promesa de un mundo sin problemas, como la carita rechoncha de Snoopy, su idolo. A lo largo de los siguientes cuarenta años los pijos españoles han ido mutado en infinitas variantes, tan escurridizas y sutiles que ya en el siglo XXI solo encuentran una representacion tan pura y caricaturesca como aquella primigenia: el cayetano. El universo simbolico cayetano contiene todos los elementos del mundo despreocupado de los pijos de los ochenta pero añade muchos mas ingredientes que hablan del triunfo radical del neoliberalismo de la nostalgia de tiempos de señoritos pero tambien de la furia de las tribus urbanas. ¿Que es pues un pijo? ¿Existen pijos "de verdad" y pijos "de mentira? ¿Un pijo es siempre de derechas? ¿Es lo mismo ser pijo que rico? ¿Cuantos tipos de pijos existen? ¿En una sociedad obsesionada con el culto a la imagen, el dinero, el triunfo, no somos casi todos un poco sospechosos de pijismo? ¿Por que el adjetivo "pijo" ha pasado de ser un insulto a un adjetivo que muchos sueñan con poder arrogarse?

-La Segunda República, por tratarse de uno de los periodos más transcendentales en la historia de España, siempre ha despertado un gran interés. Aquí se recogen buena parte de los episodios ocurridos durante esa epoca. El principal objetivo del autor es exponerlos de forma cronologica a partir de una seleccion de anotaciones que se han ido recopilando y ordenando, dando como resultado este trabajo. En ciertos escritos publicados referente a la II Republica se observa una tendencia a magnificar determinados sucesos, procurando restar importancia a otros que algunos autores han considerado de menor interes. En estas notas se han incluido varios de ellos que han sido tratados con un perfil mas bajo en diferentes ocasiones, sin darle la importancia que se merecen.

La humanidad enfrenta disrupciones masivas. En "El Quinto Dominio de la Guerra", Catherine Dumont desafía las narrativas predominantes sobre los beneficios de ciertos avances tecnológicos relacionados con la Cuarta Revolucion Industrial. Aun no esta claro si realmente nos dirigimos hacia un estado de gobernanza global, con rasgos autoritarios, que supervisara y controlara a cada ser humano gracias a un desarrollo tecnologico desorbitado. Es imposible asegurar que todas o incluso alguna de las teorias conspirativas sobre el Nuevo Orden Mundial sean ciertas, pero es innegable que la pandemia de 2020 y su constante replicacion se ha convertido en un terremoto de escala sin precedentes, responsable de "gigantescos movimientos tectonicos en la geopolitica". ¿Que pasaria si tuvieramos que enfrentarnos a una ola de ciberataques que afecte a las empresas y a sus servidores, pero tambien al funcionamiento de los hospitales, el transporte y la seguridad?, se pregunta Catherine Dumont. Si necesitas respuestas a estas y otras preguntas, no lo dudes, sigue adelante y lee este libro.
