Title: Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success

Publisher's Summary:

Immigration is a fraught and misunderstood topic in America’s social discourse, with much of what we believe based largely on myth. Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan have spent the last decade searching for the facts. Their pioneering research digs deep into the data on immigration, linking the experiences of immigrants from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to those of immigrants today. Using powerful storytelling alongside big data, they provide new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream that will change our thinking and policies.Where you come from, they vividly illustrate, doesn’t matter. The children of immigrants from countries like El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala today are as likely to be as successful as those from Great Britain and Norway 150 years ago. And in a pattern that has held for more than a century, the children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of US-born residents.Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways, staving off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population. Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the US-born—the very people politicians are trying to protect.

Title: Employment Law: Very Short Introduction

Author: David Cabrelli

Narrator: Mike Cooper

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 57 minutes

Release date: June 28, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

In today's society, work takes up a vast proportion of the time and energy of ordinary people. Although use of the phrase 'work-life balance' is now commonplace in the media and ordinary conversation, people work longer hours than ever before. However, rather than purely a means to an end in terms of supporting oneself financially, the workplace is a place to develop skills and talents and build lasting friendships. For these reasons, people want to know about their rights in the workplace. Issues of equal pay, discrimination, discharge/dismissal, and redundancy are prevalent within the media, and there is a growing public appetite for knowledge of the law governing the employment relationship. This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main kinds of employment rights and labor laws found in many countries. It unpicks and evaluates some of the assumptions underpinning contemporary attitudes to such rights and laws in order to measure whether they are warranted. Throughout it also considers the economic, political, sociological, and social justifications for employment rights and laws.

Title: The Return of the Russian Leviathan

Publisher's Summary:

Russia's relationship with its neighbors and with the West has worsened dramatically in recent years. Under Vladimir Putin's leadership, the country has annexed Crimea, begun a war in Eastern Ukraine, used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK, and created an army of Internet trolls to meddle in the US presidential elections. How can we understand this apparent relapse into aggressive imperialism and militarism? In this book, Sergei Medvedev argues that this new wave of Russian nationalism is the result of mentalities that have long been embedded within the Russian psyche. Whereas in the West, the turbulent social changes of the 1960s and a rising awareness of the legacy of colonialism have modernized attitudes, Russia has been stymied by an enduring sense of superiority over its neighbors alongside a painful nostalgia for empire. It is this infantilized and irrational worldview that Putin and others have exploited, as seen most clearly in Russia's recent foreign policy decisions, including the annexation of Crimea. This sharp and insightful book, full of irony and humor, shows how the archaic forces of imperial revanchism have been brought back to life, shaking Russian society and threatening the outside world. It will be of great interest to anyone trying to understand the forces shaping Russian politics and society today.

Title: [Spanish] - El Poder: Un estratega lee a Maquiavelo

Author: Pedro Baños

Narrator: Martin Untrojb

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 23 minutes

Release date: June 22, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Astucia, prudencia... Pedro Baños multiplica las enseñanzas de Maquiavelo y las actualiza cuando la realidad estratégica, que conoce tan bien, lo exige. ¿Cómo se alcanza el poder? ¿Cómo conservarlo? El poder cambia de forma o pasa de manos, pero siempre está ahí, muy presente. Nicolás Maquiavelo escribió 'El Príncipe' pensando en los gobernantes de su tiempo, pero, como el coronel Pedro Baños nos revela, sus ideas se pueden aplicar a lo que hoy llamamos líder, ya ejerza sus funciones en la política, en el terreno militar, en la empresa o incluso cuando se trata de un liderazgo social. Este sagaz diálogo que Pedro Baños mantiene con Maquiavelo a través de los siglos nos permite entender las maneras de obtener el poder, cómo ganar la confianza y el respeto de los ciudadanos, la importancia de las alianzas y la prevención no solo ante los enemigos declarados, sino también ante los propios amigos. Aunque los líderes actuales deben adaptarse a un mundo complejo, no les conviene olvidar los aciertos (y errores) del más prestigioso «influencer» de todos los tiempos: Nicolás Maquiavelo. Esta nueva edición contiene también una traducción íntegra, revisada y actualizada de 'El Príncipe' de Maquiavelo.
