En un mundo donde el discurso político y las dinámicas de poder configuran la realidad social, este ensayo se sumerge en la intersección del marxismo, el ocio y la sociedad para desentrañar la complejidad de las interacciones humanas. A traves de un analisis critico y profundo, el texto revela como el discurso se ha convertido en un producto social crucial, desvelando las estructuras que conforman nuestra sociedad y como estas establecen jerarquias dentro de la misma. Con un enfoque particular en España, el ensayo critica el uso del discurso como una estrategia de las derechas politicas para perpetuar el dominio de los poderosos, subrayando la necesidad de un espacio autentico para la justicia y la equidad. El autor, inspirado en las ideas de Zygmund Bau ...

Hervé Le Bras expone que la inmigración no es el elemento principal que decante el voto de los electores hacia los partidos de extrema derecha, sino que es una variable de refuerzo que facilita que escojan la papeleta, pero que no lo determina. Estos partidos defienden la familia tradicional y condenan lo que consideran excesos progresistas, como el aborto, la igualdad de genero, las medidas ambientalistas y, en mayor medida, una causa generica, como la de estar enojados con las politicas gubernamentales.

Henry David Thoreau fue un hombre que, enraizado en su lugar de origen, creció intelectualmente sin violentar sus límites geográficos originales. Logró descifrar filosóficamente el mundo sin necesidad de viajarlo. Thoreau fue denodado impulsor del trascendentalismo, movimiento filosofico que delineo la vida de los Estados Unidos hacia mediados del siglo XIX. La expresion escrita de este movimiento la hizo Thoreau en Walden, una especie de diario sin fechas, una serie de meditaciones en torno a lo que a Thoreau preocupaba como individuo; Walden es un prolijo documento de la vida de los estadounidenses hacia mediados del siglo XIX.

Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) es uno de los juristas más polémicos del siglo pasado, cuya obra es objeto de publicación y estudio constantes, despertando por igual pasiones y odios. En Contrarrevolución o resistencia, en palabras del autor, Schmitt comparece como lo que es: un testigo cualificado del siglo XX. El profesor Jimenez Segado estudia la teoria politica schmittiana, teniendo a la vez presente tanto su biografia intelectual como su recepcion comparada, pues solo con la ayuda de esta ultima perspectiva apunta puede hallarse la explicacion de su popularidad, en definitiva, sintoma del enfrentamiento ideologico entre liberalismo, fascismo y comunismo, que hace que su pensamiento sea tachado de contrarrevolucionario o resistente, en funcion del atavismo ideologico del interprete.

We are living through a cost of living crisis with interest rate hikes and the prices of everyday consumables and energy bills sky rocketing Why is this happening Sometimes we are told that wages are too high or that the government has printed too much money or that events far away such as the war in Ukraine are solely to blame The plain argument that high prices go together with high profits falling wages and weak production is often distorted and hidden by mainstream commentary in the media and elsewhere This plain speaking pamphlet tells it straight the big businesses dominating production and distribution make huge profits out of high inflation while working people lose out It sets out factual evidence to illustrate that the source of record profits is the fall in real wages as inflation rises A large part of the income of working people is being transferred directly into the profits of big business The pamphlet shows that the deeper roots of the cost of living crisis lie in the very low investment and poor productivity growth for many years The basic steps to resolving the crisis are simple prices especially of essentials must be brought down and wages salaries benefits and pensions must be increased
