  • On Property: Policing, Prisons, and the Call for Abolition by Rinaldo Walcott
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549996 to listen full audiobooks. Title: On Property: Policing, Prisons, and the Call for Abolition Author: Rinaldo Walcott Narrator: David Andrew Reid Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 51 minutes Release date: October 15, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From plantation rebellion to prison labour's super-exploitation, Walcott examines the relationship between policing and property. That a man can lose his life for passing a fake $20 bill when we know our economies are flush with fake money says something damning about the way we've organized society. Yet the intensity of the calls to abolish the police after George Floyd's death surprised almost everyone. What, exactly, does abolition mean? How did we get here? And what does property have to do with it? In On Property, Rinaldo Walcott explores the long shadow cast by slavery's afterlife and shows how present-day abolitionists continue the work of their forebears in service of an imaginative, creative philosophy that ensures freedom and equality for all. Thoughtful, wide-ranging, compassionate, and profound, On Property makes an urgent plea for a new ethics of care.

  • Abundance: On the Experience of Living in a World of Information Plenty by Pablo J. Boczkowski
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549432 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Abundance: On the Experience of Living in a World of Information Plenty Author: Pablo J. Boczkowski Narrator: David Marantz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Information overload is something that humans have dealt with for millennia. During different historical eras, massive increases in what was available to know has motivated the creation of systems for sorting, indexing, and compiling information as well as concerns that the abundance of information might cause cultural anxiety or even drive people to madness. The digital age has renewed concerns about information overload and the detrimental effects it has on our ability to sort through the stream of online data, decide what is most important, or even to train our attention on it long enough to make sense of it. In Abundance, Pablo J. Boczkowski builds upon what we know about the historical and contemporary scholarship to develop a novel framework on the experience of living in a society that has more information available to the public than ever before, focusing on the interpretations, emotions, and practices of dealing with this abundance in everyday life. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and survey research conducted in Argentina, Abundance examines the role of cultural and structural factors that mediate between the availability of information and the actual consequences for individuals, media, politics, and society.

  • The Global Constitution: One World Government To Save The Earth by Anonymous
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/553218 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Global Constitution: One World Government To Save The Earth Author: Anonymous Narrator: Anonymous Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 35 minutes Release date: October 11, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Global Constitution One World Government To Save The Earth by Anonymous - Over the past several years and in the years to come, we will see more and more direct evidence that our political systems are fatally flawed. There are no controls for holding out for common sense solutions before installing only the most expensive and the least effective solutions to our problems. They bring out the worst of our kind and put the rascals into positions of authority over us all and the biggest problem is that there is no way to correct for their maligned behaviors. We are always forced to sit and watch from the sidelines as our country and our planet is degraded and slowly destroyed. The major problem is that the dictators in the world believe that their brains are the only ones capable and wise enough to solve the world's problems, when it is these singularly untrained minds which are the problem. They look at their citizens, the average men and women whom they never understand as if we are ants. We are their cannon fodder. We are like sheep who need to be husbanded, fed and warehoused until such time as it's perceived by them that it's time for our slaughter. Over the centuries their mass slaughter of us has been limited to a few cities and towns. Then, in the last century the mass slaughter expanded into hundreds of cities and dozens of nations being destroyed. The next major war will be brought into every living room on the planet. The next few decades even assuming we are able to skip another major world war, will mean that we will all die from suffocation as all of the oxygen is sucked out of our atmosphere and gradually replaced by a huge black sooty cloud of Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide, which will spell disaster to all life forms on this Earth. The silence will be deafening and last for millions of years. This is the world's first attempt to unify all the people of the Earth under one set of laws and rules that could prevent total disaster.

  • The Blockchain Government: Engineering The Future by Michael Mathiesen
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/553240 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Blockchain Government: Engineering The Future Author: Michael Mathiesen Narrator: Michael Mathiesen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: October 10, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: It's obvious to many by now that our antiquated method of doing the business of government is no longer working.  The two party system is a great way for politicians to establish a long, very long-lasting and very profitable positioni for themselves.  They learn how to posture and pose and make tidy little speeches full of promises and age-old wisdom, but gets nothing accomplished.  Is it any wonder when we know that the system was designed by people who only knew horse-and-buggy technology.   When our system of government was created there was no electricity anywhere on the planet.  There were no telephones and of course the INTERNET would astound them and confound them and call it the work of Satan.  The best of our species at the kind, who were also slaveowners put forward a kind of government that allowed for slavery to remain in business.  Even though their basic document has been altered 27 times, it is still fundamentally flawed and relies on only horse-and-buggy thinking to solve our problems.  Most laws take decades to formulate and achieve a consensus and then come to a final vote in Congress, but not until it has been watered down and changed so many times, the new laws are outdated at the minute of their adoption and usually cause new problems that will also take decades to solve.   As we write these words, we are on the brink of total economic collapse.  Violence of all kinds rules over our streets.  Six college students are murdered.  Hundreds of other innocent Americans are slain every day on the streets of this country.  Inflation is rampant.  People are going homeless by the thousands every day.  Another pandemic is raging.  The forest fires in 15 states are raging out of control for months.  There is a drought everywhere, except in the East where there are record floods.  People are fearful.  AND, 6 out of 10 people know that the Climate Crisis will greatly impact their lives.  Do we have any Government at the present?

  • [Spanish] - El poder corrompe by Gabriel Zaid
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549741 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - El poder corrompe Author: Gabriel Zaid Narrator: Noé Velázquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 34 minutes Release date: October 7, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: La corrupción no fue una característica lamentable del llamado Sistema Político Mexicano: fue el Sistema Político Mexicano. La corrupción de los poderes públicos es una tradición universal y milenaria. En México, tuvo un papel histórico: apaciguar a los caudillos insurgentes del siglo XIX y revolucionarios del XX, entronizando al presidente como Supremo Dador. La corrupción no fue una característica lamentable del llamado Sistema Político Mexicano: fue el Sistema Político Mexicano. A pesar de lo cual, circulan explicaciones rudimentarias. Por ejemplo: que la corrupción está en los usos y costumbres del país como expresión de los genes de los mexicanos. Este libro pretende superar el fatalismo, la moralina y el cinismo de tales explicaciones. Y acompaña el análisis conpropuestas concretas. De Gabriel Zaid hemos publicado casi todos sus libros, y en relación con éste La economía presidencial.

  • [Spanish] - Un México posible: Una visión disruptiva para transformar a México by Arturo Franco, Salvador Alva G., José Antonio Fernández C.
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549743 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Un México posible: Una visión disruptiva para transformar a México Author: Arturo Franco, Salvador Alva G., José Antonio Fernández C. Narrator: Beto Moreno Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 7, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary:

    Una perspectiva de cambio para que nos convirtamos en el país que deseamos, capaz de transitar por el siglo XXI con una visión incluyente, eficaz y entusiasta.

    México está lleno de gente talentosa y capaz, y posee un vibrante espíritu emprendedor. Sin embargo, el modelo actual de desarrollo no responde a las nuevas circunstancias y paradigmas de las economías basadas en el conocimiento y la innovación, para las que atraer, retener y desarrollar talento constituye el motor de la movilidad social y el bienestar.

    Debemos replantearnos de manera urgente hacia dónde vamos y qué modelo de país deseamos impulsar para enfrentar los retos presentes y futuros. En este libro, José Antonio Fernández C. y Salvador Alva G., con una destacada trayectoria en transformación organizacional, ofrecen su perspectiva de cambio para que nos convirtamos en el país que deseamos, capaz de transitar por el siglo XXI con una visión incluyente, eficaz y entusiasta.

    Un México posible no es un listado de políticas públicas específicas con metas e indicadores tradicionales, que en el fondo repiten los patrones de antaño. Es, por contraste, un planteamiento disruptivo para transformarnos, que nos inspira y unifica en una visión compartida que busca ventajas competitivas para destacar, mediante una nueva organización enfocada en el empoderamiento del ciudadano. La obra, así, fomenta una cultura y valores basados en el esfuerzo y el mérito de cada mexicano, y busca rescatar lo mejor de nuestra gente para, por fin, desarrollarnos plenamente como nación.

  • [German] - Nachruf auf mich selbst. - Die Kultur des Aufhörens (Ungekürzt) by Harald Welzer

Title: [German] - Nachruf auf mich selbst. - Die Kultur des Aufhörens (Ungekürzt) Author: Harald Welzer Narrator: Harald Welzer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: October 6, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Bestseller-Autor Harald Welzer stellt fest, dass unsere Kultur kein Konzept vom Aufhören hat. Deshalb baut sie Autobahnen und Flughäfen für Zukünfte, in denen es keine Autos und Flughäfen mehr geben wird. Und sie versucht, unsere Zukunftsprobleme durch Optimierung zu lösen, obwohl ein optimiertes Falsches immer noch falsch ist. Damit verbaut sie viele Möglichkeiten, das Leben durch Weglassen und Aufhören besser zu machen. Diese Kultur hat den Tod genauso zur Privatangelegenheit gemacht, wie sie die Begrenztheit der Erde verbissen ignoriert. Harald Welzer zeigt in einer faszinierenden Montage aus wissenschaftlichen Befunden, psychologischen Einsichten und persönlichen Geschichten, wie man aus den Absurditäten dieser gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung herausfindet. Man muss rechtzeitig einen Nachruf auf sich selbst schreiben, damit man weiß, wie man gelebt haben will.
