Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why does nationalism liberate one people-and oppress another Nationalism is one of the most powerful forces in modern politics, yet one of the least understood. It can unite strangers into citizens, topple empires, and defend a homeland. It can also narrow the circle of belonging, turn dissent into betrayal, and make conflict feel sacred. In Nationalism, Explained, Levi D. Kavan offers a clear, even-handed guide to the politics of 'us' and 'them.' Without slogans or academic jargon, he shows how national identity is created, why patriotism can slide into exclusion, and how nationalism interacts with religion, populism, immigration, democracy, authoritarianism, war, and globalization. Inside, you'll learn: - The difference between a nation, state, country, and people- How civic and ethnic nationalism define belonging differently- Why nationalism fueled both empire and anti-colonial liberation- How religious identity can fuse with political power- Why populists claim to represent the 'real people'- When national solidarity supports democracy-and when it destroys it- Whether a healthy, inclusive nationalism is possibleWith key takeaways, a glossary, and discussion questions, this book gives general readers a practical framework for understanding the headlines-and the deeper human needs beneath them. Clear enough for beginners. Serious enough for anyone who wants to think beyond the slogans.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You were never taught how money actually works. That was not an accident.Where does money really come from Why can the government 'print' trillions but you can't Is the national debt a crisis - or a con Why does everything feel rigged, and who exactly is it rigged for Most books about the economy ask you to pick a team before they'll explain anything. This one refuses. In plain English - no equations, no jargon, no political cheerleading - Levi D. Kavan pulls back the curtain on the machine that runs your life: the Federal Reserve, the banks that create money out of thin air, the national debt, inflation, taxes, and the quiet rules that decide who wins before the 'free market' ever renders its verdict. You'll finally understand: - Where money comes from - and why most of it is created by private banks the moment someone borrows- What the Federal Reserve really does - and why fighting inflation always costs someone their job- Why the national debt isn't like your credit card - and what the real limit on government spending actually is- Modern Monetary Theory - steelmanned and honestly criticized, so you can judge it yourself- Why taxes aren't the government's income - they're its steering wheel, turned for decades to tax work harder than wealth- How the system booms, busts, and bails out the people who caused the crash- Why working harder can feel like running in place - and the structural reason it isn't in your headBy the last page, you'll watch a Fed announcement, a debt-ceiling fight, or a tax bill and know exactly what's happening - and who it's happening for. You'll never read the economic news the same way again. Fully illustrated with 12 original charts and diagrams - from how banks conjure money out of a keystroke to why your pay stopped tracking your productivity - that make each idea impossible to forget. From the author of the Power and Politics, Explained series. Written for the smart, skeptical reader who's tired of both economics textbooks and cable-news spin.…
