LA POLĂTICA DEL ODIO  â Una aguda y reveladora visiĂłn de la polĂtica norteamericana   De cĂłmo obstruccionistas, medios de comunicaciĂłn e intereses creados estĂĄn convirtiendo a los Estados Unidos en un paĂs del tercer mundo y CĂMO PODEMOS RECUPERARNOS   por HUGO N. GERSTL Los Estados Unidos estĂĄn siendo destruidos de manera sistemĂĄtica, no desde afuera por terroristas, sino desde adentro, por intereses creados. El paĂs estĂĄ siendo destruido por polĂticos, por presentadores de programa de entrevistas, magnates mediĂĄticos y demagogos populistas, que procuran conservar su «territorio» a cualquier precio, obstruyendo la aprobaciĂłn de leyes provechosas, mediante mentiras y acusaciones escandalosas, campañas negativas y agravios injustificados. Estos «redentores» no presentan ninguna idea constructiva que hayan concebido para ayudar a salir del atolladero en el que nuestro paĂs se encuentra. En lo Ășnico que piensan los polĂticos es en ser electos y reelectos. El señuelo de USD 100.000 de honorarios de conferencista es un potente afrodisĂaco. El señuelo del poder es un afrodisĂaco aĂșn mĂĄs potente. PolĂticos, metemiedos, parlanchines y lĂderes empresariales se deleitan con su fama, su gloria y su autoproclamada sabidurĂa, en momentos en que el paĂs estĂĄ mĂĄs endeudado que cualquier otra naciĂłn en la historia y cuando año a año avanzamos cada vez mĂĄs rĂĄpido hacia la posibilidad de convertirnos en un paĂs del tercer mundo. Si el pĂșblico comienza a sumar dos mĂĄs dos, la respuesta lĂłgica debe ser cuatro. Pero hasta ahora, aĂșn se puede hacer creer al estadounidense promedio que dos mĂĄs dos equivale a cualquier nĂșmero que a los maestros del rollo polĂtico se les ocurra. Lo peor es que mĂĄs del 40% de los estadounidenses aceptan la polĂtica de miedo, cizaña y atropello, sin siquiera detenerse un momento a pensar quĂ© es exactamente lo que estos traficantes del odio polĂtico ofrecen a cambio de echar a un lado a una facciĂłn y asegurarse para ellos mismos las ventajas del poder. Pero independientemente de las querellas polĂticas internas o externas, lo que hacemos es algo parecido a dos pulgas que se pelean para saber cuĂĄl de ellas es la propietaria del perro. Parece que no nos damos cuenta de que el tiempo y el dinero se nos han acabado, que ya no podemos permitirnos el lujo de astutas maniobras polĂticas y de inĂștiles y estĂșpidas reyertas. Aunque este oportuno libro señala a quiĂ©n es el culpable, va tambiĂ©n un poco mĂĄs allĂĄ y cuenta cĂłmo los Estados Unidos, la naciĂłn mĂĄs poderosa del planeta, pueden recuperar el control de su destino y curar su propia enfermedad.   HUGO N. GERSTL obtuvo una licenciatura en ciencias polĂticas e historia de la Universidad de California en Los Ăngeles (UCLA) y despuĂ©s cursĂł estudios y se graduĂł en la Facultad de Derecho de la misma universidad. Gerstl rechazĂł una invitaciĂłn para postularse para el Congreso por el partido Republicano, ya que eso hubiera significado competir con su amigo y colega, el abogado LeĂłn Panetta, que acababa de completar su primera cadencia en el Congreso. Gerstl es ampliamente conocido en todo el paĂs hace ya cuarenta y seis años como abogado penalista y sigue siendo eternamente optimista acerca de la capacidad de recuperaciĂłn del pueblo estadounidense.

Gretaâs Voice is the real story of the 16-year-old climate activist, a story that will give hope to people of all ages and prove to children that they donât need to wait becoming a grown up to make a difference. Gretaâs is a story of persistence and inspiration, a wake up call for us all. We hope we will stop the climate crisis altogether

Thirty-five years ago, Libertyville had a population of 2,000. Its citizens thought it would become the next  Atlanta. But itâs now 1989, and the population is down to 278 and falling. The townâs remaining employer, the outdated, money-losing Libertyville Cotton Works, owned by an elderly Holocaust survivor, has been sold to a conglomerate that intends to reap huge tax and political benefits.But two other factions have different ideas. Bishop William Wyatt Walker, spellbinding African-American televangelist whose church takes in $500 million a year in contributions from the poorest of the poor, decides the church has lost touch with the common man and needs a new symbol of salvation â the Libertyville Cotton Works and the 40 acres that surround it. Heâll do whatever it takes to make sure the church gets the property.Meanwhile, a brilliant, Mexican-American lawyer and his militant contingent, faced with âthe countryâs growing paranoia toward Hispanics,â seeks to create his own Sanctuary Nation. His âarmyâ takes armed control of the cotton works, holding hostages to ensure that the factory and its acreage are deeded to âthe first truly Mexican town in the Southeastern U.S.âThe stage is set for a Stalemate of epic proportions, a war where there can be no winners. Like James Dickeyâs Deliverance, this book is a mixture of a thriller tinged with adventure, camaraderie, dread, and the horror that only an unexpected, unspeakable situation can inflict. Human nature is human nature, and it is impossible to predict how anyone would act if confronted with a similar situation. Powerful and suspenseful, Stalemate explores the best â and the worst â in the human spirit as it thunders toward a spine-chilling climax.International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstlâs latest work is one you wonât be able to put down â and one youâll long remember. Published by PangĂŠa Publishing Group 184 pages â 23 cm x 15 cm

Angenommen, Karl Marx hĂ€tte das "Kapital" veröffentlicht und niemand hĂ€tte es zur Kenntnis genommen. Angenommen, an die Stelle von Marx wĂ€ren Gabriel Tarde und seine "Psychologie Economique" aus dem Jahr 1902 getreten. Wie wĂ€re das 20. Jahrhundert verlaufen? Und wie sĂ€he die Ăkonomie heute aus? Mit diesem Gedankenexperiment eröffnen Bruno Latour und Vincent LĂ©pinay ihren furiosen Essay, in dem sie eine alternative Politische Ăkonomie entwerfen. Wesentlicher Bestandteil von Bruno Latours Projekt einer »neuen Soziologie fĂŒr eine neue Gesellschaft« ist es von jeher gewesen, die Geschichte der soziologischen Theorie und ihre Klassiker einer grĂŒndlichen RelektĂŒre zu unterziehen. Zusammen mit dem Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Vincent LĂ©pinay nimmt er sich nun die Geschichte der Ăkonomie vor. Vielleicht sind es ja gar nicht die ProduktionsverhĂ€ltnisse, die »Basis«, die die Ăkonomie und die Gesellschaft bestimmen, sondern die Ideen, der »Ăberbau«? Nichts in der Ăkonomie ist objektiv, alles ist subjektiv oder, besser noch, intersubjektiv, so Latour und LĂ©pinay. Die Ideen regieren die Welt. Mit Tarde stellen sie Marx von den FĂŒĂen auf den Kopf.

Die Politik des Irrsinns / Hugo N. Gerstl  Amerikas Freunde und unsere Feinde kratzen sich am Kopf und denken: âWenn man die Welt auf die Seite stellen wĂŒrde, wĂŒrden alle losen NĂŒsse in den Vereinigten Staaten landen.â Das absurde Theater ist auf allen FernsehgerĂ€ten, Smartphones und sozialen Medien ausgebrochen. Ein megareicher Emporkömmling, der systematisch jedes Segment der Gesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten vor den Kopf stöĂt, steht kurz davor, der nĂ€chste PrĂ€sident zu werden! Kandidaten leugnen die Anzeichen des globalen Klimawandels â egal, Gott wird uns beschĂŒtzen, und da er ein christlicher Gott ist, wird er uns gleich noch dabei helfen, die Muslime loszuwerden! Kann sich jemand zwei ernsthafte Kandidaten fĂŒr das höchste Amt in den Vereinigten Staaten vorstellen, die sich ĂŒber die GröĂe ihrer Genitalien streiten? (âSie wissen, was man ĂŒber MĂ€nner mit kleinen HĂ€nden sagt...â).  Willkommen bei Die Politik des Irrsinns, einem ernsthaften Blick auf die neueste Form des bizarren âReality-TVâ. Wenn höchstens 2 % der Kandidatenliste vernĂŒnftige, ernsthafte Kandidaten sind. Wenn es akzeptabel ist zu sagen: âWollt ihr etwa einen PrĂ€sidenten mit so einer Nase?â Wenn eine Kandidatengattin halbnackt in der Werbung posiert. Aber ob Sie es glauben oder nicht, Prediger 1:9 ist RealitĂ€t: âEs gibt nichts Neues unter der Sonne.â Der politische Irrsinn ist nicht in den Vereinigten Staaten erfunden worden, und selbst in Amerika waren wir schon einmal auf diesem Weg. Hugo N. Gerstl, Autor von The Politics of Hate (2012), seziert mit scharfem Skalpell den American Pie der Politik von 2016 und beschreibt, was wie ein undurchdringlicher tragikomischer Irrgarten der VerrĂŒcktheit erscheint. Er schlieĂt optimistisch, mit den Worten eines ehemaligen PrĂ€sidenten, dessen Frau im Rennen um das WeiĂe Haus die Nase vorn hat: âEs gibt nichts Falsches an Amerika, das nicht mit dem geheilt werden kann, was an Amerika richtig ist.â Eine englischsprachige E-Book-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2016 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht. 250 Seiten, 15 x 22,5 cm.

Revels stuff. . . .|This Edition of George Chapman's tragedy differs from all other modern editions in being primarily based on the Quarto of 1607 in preference to the much revised Quarto of 1641. N. S. Brooke believes that the earlier text gives a more certain indication of Chapman's intentions and he has supported this view in an introduction and by a bibliographical and critical study of the play. The divergence between the texts of 1607 and 1641 are set out clearly in this volume, which includes the usual textual and critical apparatus found in the Revels series. ;
