This book explores visual political engagement online – how citizens participate in the dynamism of life in society by expressing their opinions and emotions on various issues of democratic life in image-based social media posts, independently of collective actions. Looking beyond large digital social movements to focus on the everyday, the book provides a well-documented and comprehensive framework of key notions, concrete methods and examples of empirical insights into everyday visual citizenship on social media. It shows how the visual has become ubiquitous in citizens' communication on social media, focusing on how citizens use visual content to express their emotions and opinions on social media platforms when they discuss politics in a large sense. With this book, every reader interested in political communication, visual communication and/or new media is fully equipped to analyse everyday visual citizenship on social media platforms.

"This book offers an economic history of the Cuban revolution between 1959 and 2019, with a focus on the period that ranges between 2008 and 2018. It aims to explain in a historical perspective the Cuban economic challenges through the category of 'peripheral socialism'. The core of the research is the administration of Raúl Castro and the economic and social reforms introduced by it under the concept of socialism update. The book describes Cuba's recent economic policies and analyses the structure and dynamics of Cuba's economic changes, offering a panoramic view which can serve as an introduction to further more detailed analyses. The book also offers an interpretation of Cuba's socialism in light of the Latin American political economy of underdevelopment, so as to interpret Cuba's structural economic performance. The analytical background will enable readers to understand the contemporary crises in Cuba, with a balanced look at the triumphs and limits of its peripheral socialism. It will find an audience among scholars and researchers of economic development and history, macroeconomics, Latin American and Cuban Studies, Socialism Studies, and related areas. It will also be of interest to economists, politicians, diplomats, journalists, and NGOs"--

"Most people believe capitalism is a compromise with selfish human nature. As Adam Smith put it, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Capitalism works better than socialism, according to this thinking, only because we are not kind and generous enough to make socialism work. If we were saints, we would be socialists. In Why Not Capitalism?, Jason Brennan attacks this widely held belief, arguing that capitalism would remain the best system even if we were morally perfect. Even then, private property and free markets would be the best way to realize mutual cooperation, social justice, harmony, and prosperity. Socialists seek to capture the moral high ground by showing that ideal socialism is morally superior to realistic capitalism. But, Brennan responds, ideal capitalism is superior to ideal socialism, and so capitalism beats socialism at every level. Clearly, engagingly, and at times provocatively written, Why Not Capitalism? will cause readers of all political persuasions to re-evaluate where they stand vis-à-vis economic priorities and systems-as they exist now and as they might be improved in the future. In this expanded Second Edition, Brennan responds to his critics throughout the book and provides two new, final chapters. One argues against egalitarianism in a capitalist utopia because egalitarianism frequently misdiagnoses the problems (For example, the problem with poverty isn't that poor people have less but that they don't have enough). The other new chapter shows that we don't need to be angels in an anarchic utopia, but merely decent people who are willing to adhere to four undemanding moral principles"--

"Technological advancements, expanding education, and unfettered capitalism have encouraged many around the world to aspire to better lives, even as declines in employment and widening inequality are pushing more and more people into insecurity and hardship. In Egypt, a generation of young men desire fulfilling employment, meaningful relationships, and secure family life, yet find few paths to achieve this. The Labor of Hope follows these educated but underemployed men as they struggle to establish careers and build satisfying lives. In so doing, this book reveals the lived contradiction at the heart of capitalist systems--the expansive dreams they encourage and the precarious lives they produce. Harry Pettit follows young men as they engage a booming training, recruitment, and entrepreneurship industry that sells the cruel meritocratic promise that a good life is realizable for all. He considers the various ways individuals cultivate distraction and hope for future mobility: education, migration, consumption, and prayer. These hope-filled practices are a form of emotional labor for young men, placing responsibility on the individual rather than structural issues in Egypt's economy. Illuminating this emotional labor, Pettit shows how the capitalist economy continues to capture the attention of the very people harmed by it."

Im Juni 1926 war Rom Schauplatz eines spektakulären gesellschaftlichen Ereignisses. Gefeiert wurde eine "faschistische Hochzeit", Trauzeuge Mussolini inklusive. Vor den Altar traten Lilliana Weinman, gefeierte amerikanische Opernsängerin aus einer jüdischen Industriellenfamilie, und Attilio Teruzzi, hochdekorierter Kriegsveteran, Teilnehmer beim Marsch auf Rom, mitleidloser Anführer der Schwarzhemden und Archetyp des "neuen starken Mannes". Aber bald schon fühlte sich der virile Gatte von der Unabhängigkeit seiner Frau in der Ehre verletzt und forderte die Scheidung - nur dachten seine Frau und die katholische Kirche gar nicht daran, dem zuzustimmen. Die Zwangsehe wird für den Aufsteiger Teruzzi zusehends zum Problem, kündigen sich am Horizont doch die ersten antisemitischen Gesetze des faschistischen Staates an.Mit Seitenblicken auf Literatur, Mode, Stadtwelten und Liebesverhältnisse entfaltet die renommierte Historikerin Victoria de Grazia ein opulentes, fesselnd erzähltes Gesellschaftsepos, das das kulturelle Klima der Epoche greifbar werden lässt. Sie zeigt, wie Mussolinis Bewegung ihre Revolution bis in die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen forcierte. Und sie macht die Bedingungen für Aufstieg und Fall des "perfekten Faschisten" anschaulich: die Entwicklung eines Mannes des Mittelmaßes in einer Zeit der Extreme
