In 1999 Texas passed a landmark clean energy law beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy however that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system Examining clean energy laws in Texas Kansas Arizona and Ohio over a thirty year time frame Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis She tells the political history of our energy institutions explaining how fossil fuel companies and electric utilities have promoted climate denial and delay Stokes further explains the limits of policy feedback theory showing the ways that interest groups drive retrenchment through lobbying public opinion political parties and the courts More than a history of renewable energy policy in modern America Short Circuiting Policy offers a bold new argument about how the policy process works and why seeming victories can turn into losses when the opposition has enough resources to roll back laws

En el presente ensayo, David Montesinos analiza la importancia de las obras de Naomi Klein (Canadá, 1970) sobre la deriva del capitalismo contemporáneo. Desde la publicación de No logo (2000) y La doctrina del shock (2007), Naomi Klein critico las practicas mas opresivas del capitalismo y sus dolorosas consecuencias sobre millones de personas. Hoy sabemos que la destruccion acelerada del medio ambiente forma parte de la misma logica de expansion destructiva, de ahi el apoyo de Klein hacia un Green New Deal. Con la pandemia de la COVID-19, se ha manifestado la trascendencia de la doctrina del shock, cuyos elementos esenciales cobran vigencia con el confinamiento y el bloqueo de la actividad productiva en todo el mundo.El autor, a partir de la relectura detallada de todos los ensayos de Klein hasta la fecha, responde a los detractores que desacreditan, mediante topicos y formulas simplistas, las propuestas de la periodista canadiense. Este libro refleja la importancia actual de los cuestionamientos de Naomi Klein que nos permiten entender que esta pasando y que nos depara el futuro inmediato.Llega el momento de decidir si queremos mas populismo del odio, mas racismo, mas cambio climatico, mas capitalismo oligarquico y menos derechos ciudadanos, o entender que esta crisis y la anterior son el producto de un modelo de vida insostenible y un sistema productivo depredador, destinado a mercantilizarlo absolutamente todo, y a promover la desigualdad y la desproteccion de la mayoria.

Este libro comienza detallando la esencia de la política y economía, para proponer una nueva visión revolucionaria del valor, explorando sus raíces en las principales corrientes filosóficas, políticas y economicas. Partiendo del analisis de las teorias del valor tradicionales desde el enfoque objet...

Un cambio de sistema de gobierno con la democratización de la Jefatura del Estado y la reconciliación de todos los españoles con la condena y supresión de las leyes de memoria histórica que vuelven a enfrentar, otra vez, a los dos bandos contendientes en la Guerra Civil, dejando el examen y estudio de la misma a los historiadores.

La tolerancia es, de los principios fundamentales sobre los que se asientan las democracias avanzadas, el más mencionado, esgrimido, arrojado, pervertido y degradado por la divulgación. Se presenta como deseablemente ilimitada, pero ¿no sera esa ilimitacion mas bien una herramienta de destrucc...

El Apagón Eléctrico cada día está más cerca. Viendo cómo está el mundo actual, y más concretamente Europa, con la guerra de Ucrania, lo que ha originado una crisis energética aún mayor que la que teniamos a finales del 2021, cuando ya se contemplaba la posibilidad de un Gran Apagon Electrico a nivel europeo. Esto ha hecho que esta posibilidad de Blackout se multiplique exponencialmente y que muchos paises Europeos tomen medidas.Con este libro tipo presentacion, trato el tema mas profundamente, sobre todo siendo consciente que en algunos paises las autoridades no estan tomando casi medidas a nivel institucional, y no se estan preparando por si ocurre un Apagon; por lo que las medidas que tomemos personal y familiarmente seran las que nos hagan mucho mas facil la supervivencia si llegara el caso.Doy unos consejos sobre como actuar para prepararnos ante un apagon, que en caso que ocurra, ya sea durante unas horas o unos dias, para que nosotros nuestra familia y nuestra comunidad.

Texto en prosa que recoge hechos, situaciones u opiniones del autor relatadas bajo el criterio de sus vivencias personales. También confluyen en el mismo, ideas y reflexiones basadas en la propia formacion del autor, asi como la de otras influencias vistas con el tamiz que el paso del tiempo ha podido ir cribando, aunque sin apartarse de la vision con la que fueron percibidas en el tiempo. Con independencia de lo anterior y como si de una miscelanea se tratase, dado la variedad tematica, el texto puede parecer que contiene una mixtura de todo lo citado, que invita al lector a una especie de moralina o, cuando menos, le pudiera sugerir alguna motivacion de caracter reflexivo.

De entre los diferentes fantasmas que acechan el Estado de Derecho y las democracias, la fragmentación política se erige como uno de los más significativos en nuestro actual panorama. Es muy normal escuchar con asiduidad en los medios de comunicacion sobre la deriva fragmentada que ha tomado la esfera politica de nuestro pais y de otros paises vecinos. Politicos, juristas, academicos, expertos debaten sobre cuales han sido los condicionantes que nos han llevado hasta aqui y cuales son las consecuencias de esta situacion. Todo ello se encuadra dentro de la trayectoria que desarrollan los partidos politicos como eje central de nuestra organizacion constitucional. Ya desde finales del siglo XIX, el protagonismo de los partidos fue palpable y este no ha dejado de aumentar a lo largo de las decadas y de los siglos. Ni siquiera la irrupcion del 15-M y la aparicion de las "nuevas" formaciones politicas acabo con el sistema de partidos heredado del Estado social de Derecho. La influencia de estos irradia no solo el itinerario de las instituciones del Estado sino tambien el dia a dia de la ciudadania. Por eso, es indispensable conocer como funcionan y como actuan estas asociaciones para poder entender la fragmentacion politica. De ahi que esta obra se dedique, en primer lugar, a profu

En este ensayo el autor se interroga y analiza en qué medida los intereses del poder político son compatibles con la realización de los planes vitales de los individuos y la búsqueda de su felicidad. Sobre esta base, se abordan las transformaciones historicas y economicas en curso y se reflexiona sobre las ventajas que tendria un modelo de organizacion social que no gire en torno a la disputa ideologica.
