In an excoriating attack on Liberia's political and economic class, George Gerake Kamara argues that fate of the masses cannot lie in the hands of the frontline political parties who seek only to advance the interests of big bosses and international financial institutions. What is needed Kamara argues is a force that will mobilize the people around transformative ideals against the existing system.

"This book integrates Soviet and post-Soviet Russian history into a coherent whole by focusing on the culture, role models, habits and behavior patterns that provide continuity between various political regimes, systems, and rulers from Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin. The unifying theme of all these periods is the central question of identity - how the Russians have defined themselves, their country, and their values. Why did the Bolsheviks try to erase any trace of Old Russia and with what did they try to replace it? Why did Stalin wipe out the kulaks and the old Bolsheviks? What were the political consequences of the Great Patriotic War on the Russians as people? When post-Stalin Russia slowly weakened and gave way to the humanism and Westernization that led to the collapse of the Soviet system, why did the 1990s generate a resurgence of anti-western nationalism? And how to explain the slow and steady break with the West under President Putin? This will be a core textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of Russian and European history,

Die Studie "Zukunft? Jugend fragen!" erforscht seit 2017 alle zwei Jahre Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen junger Menschen zwischen 14 und 22 Jahren im Umwelt- und Klimabereich. Bei der aktuellen Studie wurde in einer online durchgeführten Repräsentativbefragung von Mitte September bis Anfang Oktober 2023 unter anderem untersucht, welche Rolle der Schutz von Umwelt und ⁠Klima⁠ angesichts vielfältiger Krisen für Jugendliche spielt und was sie von Politik und Wirtschaft erwarten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Schutz von Umwelt und Klima für einen großen Teil der jungen Menschen (78 Prozent) ein wichtiges Thema bleibt. Zugleich zeichnet sich aber ab, dass der Stellenwert des Themas vor dem Hintergrund anderer gesellschaftlicher Krisen rückläufig ist. Auch nachhaltige Konsumweisen im Alltag sowie kollektives Engagement für Umwelt- und ⁠Klimaschutz⁠ werden weniger häufig praktiziert als vor zwei Jahren. Junge Menschen sehen die Verantwortung für mehr Umwelt- und Klimaschutz vor allem bei Politik, Wirtschaft und jeder und jedem Einzelnen. Drei Viertel der jungen Menschen sind aktuell der Meinung, dass Industrie und Wirtschaft nicht genug für Klima- und Umweltschutz tun.

Fotografiegeschichte wird oft als eine Geschichte der Bilder geschrieben. Wer aber fotografiert unter welchen Bedingungen und für wen, wer wählt Fotografien zur Publikation aus und verwirft oder zensiert andere? Wer nutzt welche Bilder für welchem Zweck?

This book provides a concise history of economic thought for readers of all ages. While some basic economics knowledge would be helpful, it is not required. The book sets out to achieve three aims: to be interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking. While the authors may appear opinionated in certain instances, this is intentionally done in order to alert readers to form their own views. History of ideas does not make the us smarter nor richer, but it can reduce our ignorance and the "banality of evil", a term Hannah Arendt referred to people who lack self-reflection, "He did his duty...; he not only obeyed orders, he also obeyed the law."
