Author: Andrés Oppenheimer Narrator: Juan Antonio Rojas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 52 minutes Release date: December 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Para Andrés Openheimer la educación, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en la región latinoamericana es urgente, y la razón es simple: el XXI será el siglo de la economía del conocimiento. Andrés Oppenheimer, periodista influyente y siempre dispuesto a desafiar las modas políticas con inteligencia y humor, aporta en ¡Basta de historias! ideas útiles para trabajar en la principal asignatura pendiente de América Latina, la única que podrá sacarla de la mediocridad económica e intelectual: la educación. La obsesión de América Latina con su pasado ¿la ayuda a prepararse para el futuro o la frena en la tarea de competir en la economía de conocimiento del siglo XXI? Para Andrés Openheimer la educación, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en la región latinoamericana es urgente, y la razón es simple: el siglo XXI será el de la economía del conocimiento. Contrariamente a lo que pregonan presidentes y líderes populistas latinoamericanos, los países que avanzan no son los que venden materias primas ni productos manufacturados básicos, sino los que producen bienes y servicios de mayor valor agregado. ¡Basta de historias! sale a la luz en momentos en que buena parte de Latinoamérica está festejando el bicentenario de su independencia. La obsesión con el pasado es un fenómeno característico de la región, algo que curiosamente no ocurre en China, India y otros países asiáticos y de Europa del Este, a pesar de sus historias milenarias. Entonces, vale la pena entonces preguntarnos: ¿Es saludable esta obsesión con la historia? ¿Nos ayuda a prepararnos para el futuro? ¿O, por el contrario, nos distrae de la tarea cada vez más urgente de prepararnos para competir mejor en la economía del conocimiento del siglo XXI?

Title: [Spanish] - PEMEX RIP Author: Ana Lilia Pérez Narrator: Liliana Barba Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 7 minutes Release date: December 23, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Con un estilo eficaz y fuentes de gran calado, este libro responde a una falta en el periodismo nacional sobre la industria que marcó la mayor parte del siglo XX en México y que actualmente toma un rumbo indefinido pero bastante negativo. A partir de la nacionalización de la industria petrolera, por ochenta años Pemex fue el principal sostén de la economía mexicana, una maquinaria generadora de billones y billones de dólares por la producción y venta del oro negro y sus derivados, sólo que, a pesar de ser un bien público, sus ganancias y beneficios se repartieron entre pocas manos. Al cabo de esas ocho décadas, la reforma energética, que acabó con el modelo nacionalista, hizo escombros el Pemex de Cárdenas: deliberadamente, la producción se derrumbó para dar paso a la desnacionalización y privatización. Pero ¿quiénes se enriquecieron de la gallina de los huevos de oro?, ¿dónde quedó la ganancia de la renta petrolera? A estas y otras interrogantes da respuesta este libro, que explica el entramado que llevó al declive y desmantelamiento de la industria petrolera mexicana. Pemex RIP cierra una trilogía sobre Pemex iniciada con Camisas Azules, Manos Negras. El saqueo de Pemex desde Los Pinos (2010) y El Cártel Negro. Cómo el crimen organizado se ha apoderado de Pemex (2011), en la que revela fraudes, peculado, abuso de poder, tráfico de influencias, enriquecimiento ilícito, sobornos y muchos otros abusos de funcionarios y empleados que tuvieron en sus manos la encomienda de dirigir y operar una de las petroleras más importantes del mundo, y que en sus manos la convirtieron en epicentro de corrupción del país.

Title: The Moral Equivalent of War Author: William James Narrator: Douglas Harvey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 22, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This essay is based upon a speech given at Stanford University in 1906, William James’ last public utterance and is the original expression of the idea of non-military national service. While acknowledging the horrors of war and its motives, he also acknowledges the benefits that accrue when groups of people address themselves to a common purpose evident in military behavior. The modern reader will no doubt find certain attitudes regarding sex, race, and conquest of nature outdated. Nonetheless, one can’t help but admire the enlightened principles that have led to the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Peace Corps, VISTA, and AmeriCorps, and will likely be part of the effort to deal with global warming and climate change. The following from the essay is the gist of James’ thesis: “If now -- and this is my idea -- there were, instead of military conscription, a conscription of the whole youthful population to form for a certain number of years a part of the army enlisted against Nature, the injustice would tend to be evened out, and numerous other goods to the commonwealth would remain blind as the luxurious classes now are blind, to man’s relations to the globe he lives on, and to the permanently sour and hard foundations of his higher life. To coal and iron mines, to freight trains, to fishing fleets in December, to dishwashing, clotheswashing, and windowwashing, to road-building and tunnel-making, to foundries and stoke-holes, and to the frames of skyscrapers, would our gilded youths be drafted off, according to their choice, to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas.”

Title: Citizenship in a Republic: 'Man in the Arena' Address given at Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910 Author: Theodore Roosevelt Narrator: Douglas Harvey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 59 minutes Release date: December 22, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Citizenship in a Republic” is the title of a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910. In the speech Roosevelt discusses the attributes required of its citizens and leaders to sustain a thriving national character, not least of which are a high moral character and energetic engagement. He has harsh words for those who act purely in self-interest, who cause division, and who sit on the sidelines while others do the heavy lifting. The address is also known as “The Man in the Arena” speech owing to a notable passage that is often quoted: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Numerous politicians, athletes, speakers and others have turned to the passage for inspiration. Incoming freshman at the U.S. Naval Academy are required to memorize the passage. NBA champion LeBron James has the “Man in the Arena” written on his shoes.

Author: Ernesto Canales Santos Narrator: Erick Jam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 8 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Un valioso testimonio directo y fundamental para ganar la batalla contra la corrupción en México. Ernesto Canales narra aquí cómo pasó, a sus 75 años, de ser un exitoso abogado a convertirse en el primer fiscal mexicano especializado en perseguir los delitos de corrupción, así como los retos que enfrentó durante los dos años que cumplió ese papel y los logros históricos que su trabajo legó en la administración pública del país. Al mismo tiempo, denuncia a los principales operadores criminales del sistema, desde las cúpulas políticas, y ofrece la relación detallada de sus procedimientos, develando los obstáculos que se han creado para sostener el sistema de impunidad y corrupción hasta la fecha. Porque su gestión no contó con el apoyo de la sociedad civil y, por encima de todo, no estuvo exenta de intimidaciones, trabas y la poca participación de los funcionarios, factores que impidieron constantemente su labor. ¿Cómo nos arreglamos? es un libro necesario en un país que ostenta uno de los más altos índices de corrupción e impunidad en el mundo.

Title: The Environmentalist's Dilemma: Promise and Peril in an Age of Climate Crisis Author: Arno Kopecky Narrator: Marvin Kaye Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: December 15, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: For readers of Ronald Wright, Rebecca Solnit, and Yuval Noah Harari, comes a compelling inquiry into our relationship with humanity's latest and greatest calamity In The Environmentalist's Dilemma, award-winning journalist Arno Kopecky zeroes in on the core predicament of our times: the planet may be dying, but humanity's doing better than ever. To acknowledge both sides of this paradox is to enter a realm of difficult decisions: Should we take down the government, or try to change it from the inside? Is it okay to compare climate change to Hitler? Is hope naive or indispensable? How do you tackle collective delusion? Should we still have kids? And can we take them to Disneyland? Inquisitive and relatable, Kopecky strikes a rare note of optimistic realism as he guides us through the moral minefields of our polarized world. From start to finish, The Environmentalist's Dilemma returns to the central question: How should we engage with the story of our times?

Title: The Vimy Trap: or, How We Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Great War Author: Ian Mckay, Jamie Swift Narrator: John Lane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 15, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The story of the bloody 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge is, according to many of today's tellings, a heroic founding moment for Canada. This noble, birth-of-a-nation narrative is regularly applied to the Great War in general. Yet this mythical tale is rather new. "Vimyism"-today's official story of glorious, martial patriotism-contrasts sharply with the complex ways in which veterans, artists, clerics, and even politicians who had supported the war interpreted its meaning over the decades. Was the Great War a futile imperial debacle? A proud, nation-building milestone? Contending Great War memories have helped to shape how later wars were imagined. The Vimy Trap provides a powerful probe of commemoration cultures. This subtle, fast-paced work of public history-combining scholarly insight with sharp-eyed journalism, and based on primary sources and school textbooks, battlefield visits and war art-explains both how and why peace and war remain contested terrain in ever-changing landscapes of Canadian memory.
