Free Download Populocracy: The Tyranny of Authenticity and the Rise of Populism (Comparative Political Economy) by Fieschi Catherine
English | June 30, 2019 | ISBN: 1788210247, 1788210255 | True EPUB | 192 pages | 1.5 MB
Populism has become a significant feature of mature democracies in the twenty-first century and the rise of populist parties is proving a powerful and disruptive force. Catherine Fieschi offers a comparative analysis of the rise of populist parties in France, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK in the context of major digital and political transformations. Populism is effective, Fieschi shows, because it originates from within the democratic tradition and has been able to turn some of democracy’s key strengths against it – what she calls Jiu-jitsu politics.

Free Download The Rise of Tyranny: How Federal Agencies Abuse Power and Pose Risks to Your Life and Liberty (Audiobook)
English | October 09, 2020 | ASIN: B08KWR4V7V | M4B@64 kbps | 3h 49m | 104 MB
Author: Jonathan W. Emord | Narrator: Todd Eflin
Since the 1930s the Congress has delegated legislative, executive, and judicial powers to over 200 independent regulatory commissions. Those agencies enact over 90 percent of all federal law. They are ruled by individuals who are unelected and largely unaccountable to the Courts and Congress. Repeatedly they pursue their own self-interest at the expense of life and health.
Often the agencies become captives of the industry they regulate, as in the case of the FDA (captive to the pharmaceutical industry) because it is in the economic self interest of those who run the agency to obtain lucrative post government employment form the key industries regulated. The result is widespread corruption, biased and perverse enforcement of the law, and anti-competitive regulation.

Free Download David Deane, "The Tyranny of the Banal: On the Renewal of Catholic Moral Theology "
English | ISBN: 1978700814 | 2023 | 290 pages | EPUB, PDF | 583 KB + 3 MB
Catholic positions on contested moral issues are rejected by the majority in the secular West and are increasingly rejected by Catholics themselves. In this book, David Deane argues that there are two main reasons for this. First, the dominance of secular approaches deprives Catholic positions of their claim to coherence. Second, the Catholic positions, Deane shows, have lost contact with the theology on which they were originally based. In response, Deane undertakes a deconstruction of the dominant secular positions, and seeks to restore Catholic positions to their theological roots. The result of this is a moral theology reconnected with the Trinitarian understanding of God and God’s relationship with the world. Restored to its doctrinal foundations, the moral theology that Deane offers is more coherent, more beautiful, and more convincing than has been found in Catholic moral discourse for centuries.

Free Download The Tyranny of Nostalgia: Half a Century of British Economic Decline by Russell Jones
English | June 1, 2023 | ISBN: 1913019799 | 302 pages | PDF | 6.70 Mb
The performance of the British economy over the past fifty-odd years does not make for comforting reading. Indeed, the story is a depressing catalogue of misapprehensions, missteps, wasted opportunities, crises and humiliations, with all-too-familiar problems arising time and again and yet never being satisfactorily addressed.

English | ASIN: B0BWSL77RL | 2023 | 8 hours and 49 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 254 MB
Author: Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt
Narrator: Fred Sanders
A call to reform our antiquated political institutions before it’s too late-from the New York Times bestselling authors. America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it? With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, a global bestseller, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent framework for understanding these volatile times. They draw on a wealth of examples-from 1930s France to present-day Thailand-to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy.

English | ASIN: B0BWSKYQZL | 2023 | 7 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 219 MB
Author: Sohrab Ahmari
Narrator: Sohrab Ahmari
The inside story of how our political class enabled an era of unaccountable corporate might that left ordinary Americans isolated and powerless-and how we can fight back. Over the past two generations, U.S. leaders deregulated big business on the faith that it would yield a better economy and a freer society. But the opposite happened. Americans lost stable, well-paying jobs, Wall Street dominated industry to the detriment of the middle class and local communities, and corporations began to subject us to total surveillance, even dictating what we are, and aren’t, allowed to think. The corporate titans and mega-donors who aligned themselves with this vision knew exactly what they were getting: perfect conditions for what Sohrab Ahmari calls "private tyranny".

Free Download Tyranny of the Gene: Personalized Medicine and Its Threat to Public Health (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BPF5PF6V | 2023 | 9 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 267 MB
Author: James Tabery
Narrator: George Newbern
A revelatory account of how power, politics, and greed have placed the unfulfilled promise of personalized medicine at the center of American medicine. The United States is embarking on a medical revolution. Supporters of personalized, or precision, medicine-the tailoring of health care to our genomes-have promised to usher in a new era of miracle cures. Advocates of this gene-guided health-care practice foresee a future where skyrocketing costs can be curbed by customization and unjust disparities are vanquished by biomedical breakthroughs. Progress, however, has come slowly, and with a price too high for the average citizen. In Tyranny of the Gene, James Tabery exposes the origin story of personalized medicine-essentially a marketing idea dreamed up by pharmaceutical executives-and traces its path from the Human Genome Project to the present, revealing how politicians, influential federal scientists, biotech companies, and drug giants all rallied behind the genetic hype.

Free Download Peter Ackerman, "The Checklist to End Tyranny: How Dissidents Will Win 21st Century Civil Resistance Campaigns"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 194327150X | EPUB | pages: 150 | 10.6 mb
Today the deadliest conflicts are not between states but rather within them, pitting tyrants against the populations they oppress. Over a century of data shows that civil resistance campaigns-employing strikes, boycotts, mass protests, and many other nonviolent tactics-are the most powerful means for societies to confront authoritarians. The Checklist to End Tyranny is dedicated to enabling dissidents to become more strategic in their thinking and therefore more skillful in their quest to achieve democracy and human rights. This volume is also a unique resource in helping professionals in the foreign policy and democracy promotion communities to understand at a granular level what it takes for pro-democracy activists to end the dictatorships they are living under. The stakes could not be higher. If the world is to have a Fourth Democratic Wave expanding freedom over oppression, then civil resistance campaigns will lead the way.
