From the man who coined the term "net neutrality," author of The Master Switch and The Attention Merchants, comes a warning about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration for our economic and political future. We live in an age of extreme corporate concentration, in which global industries are controlled by just a few giant firms -- big banks, big pharma, and big tech, just to name a few. But concern over what Louis Brandeis called the "curse of bigness" can no longer remain the province of specialist lawyers and economists, for it has spilled over into policy and politics, even threatening democracy itself. History suggests that tolerance of inequality and failing to control excessive corporate power may prompt the rise of populism, nationalism, extremist politicians, and fascist regimes. In short, as Wu warns, we are in grave danger of repeating the signature errors of the twentieth century. In The Curse of Bigness, Columbia professor Tim Wu tells of how figures like Brandeis and Theodore Roosevelt first confronted the democratic threats posed by the great trusts of the Gilded Age--but the lessons of the Progressive Era were forgotten in the last 40 years. He calls for recovering the lost tenets of the trustbusting age as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas as we confront the fallout of persistent and extreme economic inequality.

US military leaders plot to overthrow the President because he supports a nuclear disarmament treaty and they fear a Soviet sneak attack.

Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, continues his passionate critique of neoliberalism, trenchantly describing a regime of technological domination that, in contrast to Foucault’s biopower, has discovered the productive force of the psyche. In the course of discussing all the facets of neoliberal psychopolitics fueling our contemporary crisis of freedom, Han elaborates an analytical framework that provides an original theory of Big Data and a lucid phenomenology of emotion. But this provocative essay proposes counter models too, presenting a wealth of ideas and surprising alternatives at every turn.

"Probably the most readable, significant and interesting book that has thus far come from the prolific pen of the former leader of the Red Army.... Trotsky has an intimate knowledge of and a complete command of his subject.... [T]he canvas he fills is so broad and well-balanced as to be highly instructive even to those who do not limit their investigations of Soviet affairs to the reports of the correspondents.... In a series of brief but lucid chapters the author traces the remarkable evolution through which the Soviet State has passed since 1917.... Trotsky's narrative bring[s] to the reader an echo of the passionate discussion that has taken place behind the closed doors of the high Communist bodies." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ----The New York Times Book Review

本书是一部叙事体的诘问人生的书。作者彭小莲描写了其父亲、50年代曾经的上海市委宣传部长彭柏山和母亲朱微明悲剧的一生。作者饱含激情地叙述了她的家史，更深沉地诉说了一代知识分子的辛酸史。严酷的家庭遭遇，世相的艰险，人情的冷暖，他们的岁月里又掺和着作者自己的岁月，作品中对历史既激情又冷静到几乎带有讽嘲意味。作者彭小莲是从事电影业的，因此本书带有电影文学的叙述构架和?实到自然流露的叙事风格。本书的前三稿，出版过上海文艺版、香港版、台湾版，这次第四稿是吸收了香港版和台湾版精华、并增加了章节和图片的最新版本。 动笔开始写这本书的时候，作者不得不肆无忌惮地揭开爸爸妈妈的生活，就像在阅宣判死刑的公告。当我把这一张公告最终和着父母的真实面目贴出来的时候，不管它们是多么残酷，不客人们是否愿意接受它，也不管它还有多少价值。但是，我对自己说，我毕竟做了一件有意义的事情至少我在开始慢慢地学会说真话。——彭小莲 边城风雪锁在寒，千里荒漠万重山。墨翟有感哭歧路，老聃无意出函关。豪情都做断肠梦，岁月渐摧鬃发斑。心事茫茫谁堪诉，问君更得几时还。——王元化 山外青山楼外楼，人生禁得几拳头！《崔边》写了苏区事，莫非反苏错报仇。冯堂易老老彭难，何不当初美孔颜。作百岁时一回马，再活八百也等闲。 ——聂绀驽 江淮河海曾饮马，扬鞭抽剑斩恶来。忠良为国遭横祸，清酒一杯祭灵台。文坛宿将留遗作，繁华织锦辛勤栽。我向浩天三祝福，春风吹到百花开。 ——赖少其
