The world’s leading economist of inequality presents a short but sweeping and surprisingly optimistic history of human progress toward equality despite crises, disasters, and backsliding, a perfect introduction to the ideas developed in his monumental earlier books.

Great alternative way of thinking
Revisado: 12-10-22
Even though I do not fully agree with the author's ideas and proposals, they are worth considering and thinking them over. I find "equality" not a value in itself. Justice, freedom and human dignity are for me the real basic values at stake in economic matters. However, the ideas proposed to some extent reflect these values and are, therefore, in my opinion worth considering.

La segunda edición, ampliada con dos nuevos capítulos, del indiscutible bestseller de Byung-Chul Han, una de las voces filosóficas más innovadoras de los últimos años. En este ensayo Han expone una de sus tesis principales: la sociedad occidental está sufriendo un silencioso cambio de paradigma, un exceso de positividad que está conduciendo a una sociedad del cansancio.

Excelente obra.
Revisado: 12-03-22
Me gustó mucho porque está relacionada a mi experiencia personal en un modo de abordaje filosófico muy familiar para mi formación filosófica. Al comienzo avanza lento, pero los tres últimos capítulos me parecieron muy disfrutables. Refuerza lo que vivo y pienso y lo trato de cambiar y ayudar a otros a cambiar.

These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favour of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the promise that 'you can make it if you try'. And the consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fuelled populist protest, with the triumph of Brexit and election of Donald Trump.

Brilliant ideas to improve mankind and society. Even though it focuses on American society, the same principles apply to make other societies more humane and give their less favored members the opportunity of a happier life.

An interesting story, full of suspense and intrigue with an skeptical look upon American upper class, but hope and trust in American justice system and the creativity and hard work of American people.

Excellent thriller, beautifully performed!
Revisado: 05-09-19
Lovable characters involved in a continually twisting plot and interesting dialogues, sometimes with philosophical insights over ethical aspects of empirical science and the human side of scientists, makes this thriller a remarkable one.

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media. These former pillars of traditional power have been replaced by networks of informed citizens who collectively wield more power over their personal lives, employers, and worlds than ever before. So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Something dark and evil has awakened.... Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City - and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It's 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. Evie worries her uncle will discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far.
