The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. By capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is th

Myślałem, że wszystko się zmieni, gdy Gardowie się odnajdą i spotkają. Skończy się wieczna ucieczka, a rozpocznie walka z Mogadorczykami. Wojna, w której zwyciężymy. Byłem w błędzie. Odnaleźliśmy się, ale w pierwszej bitwie z Mogadorczykami otarliśmy się o śmierć. Teraz musimy się ukrywać i przygotować plan działania. Nasza szóstka posiada wielką moc, ale nie może jeszcze marzyć o zwycięstwie nad całą armią przeciwnika. Nie poznaliśmy jeszcze w pełni możliwości, jakie dają nam nasze Dziedzictwa. Nie umiemy działać w grupie. I do tego wciąż nie wiemy, co powierzyła nam loryjska Starszyzna. Czas ucieka i tylko jedno jest pewne: musimy odnaleźć Numer Piąty, zanim uprzedzi nas wróg. Pittacus Lore jest głową Starszyzny Loryjczyków. Posiada moce, o jakich posiadaniu wy marzycie. Potrafi robić rzeczy, o jakich wy możecie tylko pomarzyć. Widział rzeczy, jakich nigdy nie zobaczycie. Od dwunastu lat mieszka na Ziemi, szykując się do wojny, która zdecyduje o losie naszej planety. Nikt nie zna miejsca jego pobytu.

Dopo essere stata lasciata dal fidanzato storico, Angela ha il cuore spezzato e il morale a terra. Essere assunta da una prestigiosa agenzia di moda londinese, quindi, sembra proprio l'occasione ideale per ricominciare da capo. In realtà Angela non sa assolutamente nulla di moda, e con la sua taglia 42 viene considerata scandalosamente sovrappeso, ma ha la testa piena di sogni e di entusiasmo. Ben presto si renderà conto di essere atterrata su un altro pianeta, tanto magico e scintillante quanto folle: un mondo dove al colloquio di lavoro il fattore determinante è indossare le scarpe dello stilista giusto, non il curriculum; dove le torte di compleanno si annusano (e poi si buttano via), non si mangiano; dove i cagnolini viziati delle star viaggiano in prima classe; dove a trent'anni il botox è già un must; dove a dettare legge sono l'hair stylist e il make-up artist. E soprattutto dove, tra una vendita di campionario e un party esclusivo, rischi seriamente di ritrovarti con il conto in rosso e di allontanare da te le persone che ami davvero. Oltre a svelare i retroscena più assurdi, divertenti e piccanti dell'industria del glamour, I love fashion racconta la favola moderna di una ragazza come tante alla ricerca della felicità, del vero amore e dell'autentica se stessa.

Die vier apokalyptischen Reiter - so bezeichnet Marketing-Guru Galloway Amazon, Apple, Facebook und Google. Diese Tech-Giganten haben nicht nur neue Geschäftsmodelle entwickelt. Sie haben die Regeln des Wirtschaftslebens und die Voraussetzungen für Erfolg neu definiert. In dem respektlosen Stil, der Galloway zu einem der gefeiertsten Wirtschaftsprofessoren der Welt gemacht hat, zerlegt er die Strategien der Vier. Er führt vor, wie sie unsere grundlegenden emotionalen Bedürfnisse mit einer Schnelligkeit und in einem Ausmaß manipulieren, an die andere nicht herankommen. Und er zeigt, wie man die Lehren aus ihrem Aufstieg auf sein eigenes Unternehmen oder seinen eigenen Job anwenden kann. Ob man mit ihnen konkurrieren will, mit ihnen Geschäfte machen oder einfach in der Welt leben will, die von ihnen beherrscht wird - man muss die Vier verstehen.
