From the counting halls of inner-city Birmingham to the trading floors of Wall Street, from the Heritage Foundation war room to the algorithmic outrage machines of social media, Liam Byrne exposes the forces propelling the populist surge – and reveals how to stop it. Drawing on original polling of thousands of voters, interviews with leading thinkers, and on-the-ground reporting across Britain, Europe and America, Byrne decodes the populist playbook. He reveals populism's five tribes, showing which voters can still be won back.

From its use as a rallying cry by the labour movement to its central place in struggles for racial justice, the idea of solidarity is often invoked as the answer to inequality and conflict. And yet, as both a term and a practice, solidarity is tantalizingly slippery. We are encouraged to ‘show solidarity’, but how can we truly realize it?

Why do virtuous leaders often fail while the cunning rise to the top? For over five centuries, The Prince has stood as the most controversial manual on power ever written. Niccolò Machiavelli dared to ask a question few others would: What does it actually take to rule effectively?

History is not shaped by the well-intentioned, but by those who understand the true nature of power. This collection unites Niccolò Machiavelli's two legendary works—The Prince and The Art of War—into the ultimate playbook for statecraft and survival.

The Prince is a timeless political treatise that explores how power is gained, maintained, and lost. Written in the early 16th century, Machiavelli offers sharp, practical guidance for rulers navigating unstable political landscapes. Drawing from historical examples and real-world observation, he examines leadership, strategy, diplomacy, and human nature—arguing that effectiveness often outweighs morality in matters of state. Provocative and influential, The Prince remains one of the most important works ever written on politics and power.

Helmuth James von Moltke, am 11. März 1907 auf dem Familiengut im schlesischen Kreisau geboren, war einer der wenigen, die diese Eigenschaften mit sich brachten. Anders als die meisten Mitglieder der bürgerlich-konservativen und der militärischen Opposition gegen Hitler war er ein kompromissloser Gegner des Nationalsozialismus von allem Anfang an. Und er war der Spiritus Rector des Kreisauer Kreises, jener Widerstandsgruppe, die sich wie keine zweite in einem jahrelangen mühevollen Diskussionsprozess auf ein detailliertes Programm für eine Neuordnung nach Hitler verständigte.

Every parent, teacher, manager, and policymaker faces the same hidden trap: the instinct to protect can quietly destroy the very strength it hopes to build. In this wide-ranging and deeply personal book, Boris Kriger reveals a universal pattern that connects the anxious parent hovering over a child’s homework to the safety engineer constraining an autonomous vehicle, the micromanager stifling a team’s creativity, and even the laws of physics that govern our universe.

What if everything we thought we knew about conflict and cooperation was backwards? For centuries, philosophers, economists, and scientists have asked: why do humans cooperate? The question assumes that conflict is natural and cooperation is the puzzle requiring explanation. This groundbreaking book inverts that assumption entirely. Drawing on evolutionary game theory, Nobel Prize-winning research on commons governance, and evidence from biology to artificial intelligence, A Unified Theory of Self-Organizing Systems presents a radical reframing.
