Was Putin antreibt, warum er die Konfrontation mit dem Westen sucht und den Rückfall in den Kalten Krieg in Kauf nimmt, ist vielen ein Rätsel. Nicht Michail Gorbatschow. Mit einzigartiger Kennerschaft beschreibt er die Entstehung des "Systems Putin" und die Absichten dieses Mannes. Unverblümt rechnet er mit Putin ab. Dieser zerstöre um seiner eigenen Macht willen die Errungenschaften der Perestroika in Russland und errichte ein System ohne Zukunft. Deshalb fordert Gorbatschow ein neues politisches System für Russland, und er mahnt den Westen, nicht mit dem Feuer zu spielen. Ein wichtiges, ein notwendiges Hörbuch, das neue Blickwinkel eröffnet - und das politische Vermächtnis des großen Mannes, der die deutsche Einheit mitermöglichte. ©2015 Bastei Lübbe (P)2015 Lübbe Audio

Title: The Arrogant Autocrat Subtitle: Stephen Harper's Takeover of Canada Author: Mel Hurtig Narrator: Michael Puttonen Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-15 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: For more than four decades, Canadian nationalist, publisher and best-selling author, Mel Hurtig, has been warning Canadians about the negative influences of the excessive corporate takeover of Canada, including the impacts of foreign ownership and so-called free-trade agreements. In this short but important listen, Mel Hurtig turns his attention to the devastating impact that the Stephen Harper government has had on Canada, radically altering the democratic, social, and economic fabric of the country. He shows how Stephen Harper's single-minded pursuit of big oil and the tar sands, at a time when the world must take dramatic action to arrest climate change, has inflicted enormous damage on our country and international reputation. He contends that Harper rose to power with an agenda so contrary to Canadian principles and values that the only way he could pursue it was through a takeover of Canadian democracy. Mel Hurtig is the legendary Edmonton bookseller, publisher, and creator of The Canadian Encyclopedia. He became a political activist, then an author in 1991 with his huge best seller The Betrayal of Canada. He is also the author of Pay the Rent or Feed the Kids, The Vanishing Country, Rushing to Armageddon and The Truth About Canada. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and has received many honorary degrees among other honors.

Title: Yield for Oncoming Greatness (YFOG): Capping Capitalism Author: Matt N Tabrizi Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-15 Publisher: Thinking Hat Press Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The American system is broken: our great nation has become corrupt, inefficient, and mired in ideological debate. The United States may be a global superpower, but every day we fail our own citizens. Our children do not learn what they need to in order to compete in the job market; our adults battle mental illness and addiction, and are imprisoned at staggering rates; and our elderly struggle for financial security and affordable healthcare. We are more often at war with other nations than not. We work harder and harder but seem to get less and less in return. Meanwhile, politicians, the media, and the super-rich hold our tremendous potential hostage by taking advantage of our democratic system, divisive politics, and unwillingness to compromise. Now more than ever, the country desperately needs a new vision to restore it to its former glory and launch it into the next century. Entrepreneur Matt Tabrizi shares such a vision in Yield for Oncoming Greatness, a book that analyzes America's problems and offers a stimulating plan for solving them. Audaciously straightforward and refreshingly pragmatic, this book takes a problem-solving approach to a myriad of issues troubling our nation and lifts the curtain of power to expose those abusing the mechanisms of government and the very system of capitalism for their own gain. Based on the belief that economic success must be achieved along with social justice, Tabrizi's book lays out ways to bring real change to America and improve our lives and our children's, addressing topics such as illicit drugs, social security, cancer, education, healthcare, elections, and the economy. Only someone with the author's experience - as a businessman, an expert in operations, and an immigrant who found success, and a home, in America - could have written this clear-eyed, common-sense, and hopeful prescription for the truly great nation we can still become.

Muss man nicht erst einmal etwas verstehen, bevor man es beurteilen kann? Gabriele Krone-Schmalz bietet in diesem Hörbuch eine Orientierungshilfe für all jene, denen das gegenwärtig in den Medien vorherrschende Russlandbild zu einseitig ist. Antirussische Vorbehalte haben in Deutschland eine lange Tradition und sind in zwei Weltkriegen verfestigt worden. Auch in der Ukraine-Krise lässt sich ihre Wirksamkeit beobachten. Tatsächlich ist aber nicht nur das Verhältnis zwischen Russland, dem Westen und der Ukraine vielschichtiger, als es der Medien-Mainstream suggeriert, sondern auch die russische Geschichte seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges. Demokratie und Menschenrechte verbreiten - wer möchte das nicht. Es lässt sich aber sehr wohl über das Tempo und über die Methoden streiten. Und es lässt sich fragen, welche Interessen der Westen unter dem Deckmantel einer Menschenrechtsrhetorik verfolgt. >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich. ©2015 Verlag C.H. Beck oHG (P)2015 Audible GmbH Kritik Bewertungen: Es lohnt sich, Gabriele Krone-Schmalz' Worten Gehör zu schenken. Sie betreibt einen integren Journalismus, ohne den Transparenz (Glasnost) und Demokratie nicht existieren können. -- Michail Gorbatschow Wer bereit ist, Russland nicht bloß als Bären zu betrachten, der von seinem Meister am Nasenring durch die internationale Manege geführt wird, kann aus ihrem Buch eine Menge lernen. -- Franziska Augstein, Süddeutsche Zeitung

Mutz Narrator: Julie McKay Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Americans are disgusted with watching politicians screaming and yelling at one another on television. But does all the noise really make a difference? Drawing on numerous studies, Diana Mutz provides the first comprehensive look at the consequences of in-your-face politics. Her book contradicts the conventional wisdom by documenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of in-your-face media. "In-your-face" politics refers to both the level of incivility and the up-close and personal way that we experience political conflict on television. Just as actual physical closeness intensifies people's emotional reactions to others, the appearance of closeness on a video screen has similar effects. We tend to keep our distance from those with whom we disagree. Modern media, however, puts those we dislike in our faces in a way that intensifies our negative reactions. Mutz finds that incivility is particularly detrimental to facilitating respect for oppositional political viewpoints and to citizens' levels of trust in politicians and the political process. On the positive side, incivility and close-up camera perspectives contribute to making politics more physiologically arousing and entertaining to viewers. This encourages more attention to political programs, stimulates recall of the content, and encourages people to relay content to others. In the end, In-Your-Face Politics demonstrates why political incivility is not easily dismissed as a disservice to democracy - it may even be a necessity in an age with so much competition for citizens' attention.

Damit durchbricht er die Logik des Kapitalismus und befreit unser Denken vom Primat der Ökonomie.

Subtitle: The Man Behind the Mask Author: Francis Beckett, David Hencke, Nick Kochan Narrator: Roger Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 03-19-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Since he left office in 2007, the empire of Tony Blair has grown exponentially. As a businessman he has been unprecedentedly successful for a former public servant, with a large property portfolio and an estimated GBP80 million of earnings accrued in just a few short years. But how has he managed to achieve this? Being an ex-prime minister comes with certain advantages, and besides his excellent state pension and twenty-four-hour security team, Blair enjoys the best contacts that money can buy - as do those willing to pay him for access to those contacts. Consequently Tony Blair Associates' clients can be found around the world and include the controversial presidents of Kazakhstan and Burma. There is also Blair's role as special envoy in the Middle East. While his record as a peacemaker is in doubt, the position has brought him into contact with a variety of oil-rich potentates in the region who now number among his most profitable clients. Blair Inc.: The Man Behind the Mask takes a close look at the complex financial structures in Blair's world. From the many layers of tax liability to the multiple conflicts of interest produced by his increasing web of relationships, this book exposes the private dealings of this very public figure.
