2034
A Novel of the Next World War
Elliot Ackerman - 2021-03-09
Calificación de Goodreads
"2034" is a chillingly authentic geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034, leading to a nightmarish global conflagration. The book follows a global cast of characters, including Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Indians, as they navigate a new, terrifying era of cyber weaponry and escalating tensions. Written by two former military officers and award-winning authors, "2034" offers a disturbingly plausible cautionary tale of a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid.

Lincoln book cover
Lincoln
A Novel (The American Chronicle Series)
Gore Vidal - 2000-02-15 (publicado por primera vez en 1984)
Calificación de Goodreads
Abraham Lincoln ocupa un lugar de honor en la historia de los EEUU y, por ende, del mundo. Sin embargo, entre las situaciones difíciles que le tocó afrontar es de especial relevancia la etapa en que su promesa de mantener unido al país chocó con la dura realidad, lo que le llevó a sentirse amenazado, de muerte incluso, y sintió en su propia piel el desprecio y hasta la agresividad de sus correligionarios. A partir del momento en que en 1861 Lincoln llega a Washington, Gore Vidal recrea toda la trayectoria vital de este personaje y, al mismo tiempo, recrea una época crucial para la democracia de los Estados Unidos. Como siempre, Gore Vidal va más allá de la simple recreación histórica, pues plantea para el debate ideológico algunas contradicciones que parecen inherentes en los sitemas democráticos, al tiempo que pone el dedo en la llaga de las imperfecciones de la organización política estadounidense. "Lincoln" es una de sus mejores novelas históricas.

This book offers a controversial perspective on the end of globalization and its implications for prosperity and peace in the global economic order. Economist Stephen D. King combines historical analysis with current affairs to argue that the principles of free trade and open markets are beginning to fracture, and a return to nationalism could lead to economic and political conflict.

The Death of Expertise book cover
The Death of Expertise
The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters
Tom Nichols - 2017-04-27
Calificación de Goodreads
In a world where technology and education provide access to endless information, Tom Nichols' The Death of Expertise examines how this has led to a society that values amateur opinions over expert knowledge. This rejection of experts is fueled by the internet, the trend of customer satisfaction in higher education, and the transformation of news into entertainment. The result is a society where everyone thinks they know everything and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as elitist. This book is a warning about the danger of populism and technocracy, and its message is now more important than ever.

The Curse of Cash book cover
The Curse of Cash
How Large-Denomination Bills Aid Crime and Tax Evasion and Constrain Monetary Policy
Kenneth S. Rogoff - 2016-09-06
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover the surprising reasons why paper money is at the heart of difficult problems plaguing the world. The Curse of Cash, written by acclaimed economist Kenneth Rogoff, explores the past, present, and future of currency, from ancient China to cryptocurrencies. With a record amount of cash in circulation - $1.4 trillion in U.S. dollars alone - most of it is used to finance tax evasion, corruption, terrorism, and the massive global underground economy. Rogoff explains why countries must establish effective negative interest rate policies to manage the next financial crisis, even if governments take better control of paper currency. A thought-provoking and engaging read.
