Our world order is under pressure as never before. From new authoritarian regimes in the US, Turkey and Russia, to the imminent break-up of the European Union and a social media awash with intolerance, things look set to fall apart just as abruptly as the Soviet Union did some thirty years ago. How did we get here, and what do we do now?In this searching new exploration of our crisis, Paul Mason argues that at its heart lies an attack on the idea of humanity itself. As the free-market system reduced us to two-dimensional consumers, genetics has stripped us of our belief in humans as agents of change. And now the dystopian forces of the authoritarian right are pushing the world towards a pre-modern understanding of the human being: one that aims to destroy the very concept of universal human rights, and create a new world in which we are biologically destined to form hierarchies based on ethnicity and gender, and to obey the demands of religious conformity.If these forces are not stopped, Mason warns, we will relive something even worse than the 1930s. In response, he demands a radical defence of the human being: a reinvention of humanism; a re-assertion of the universality of human rights; and a struggle for a society where biologically determined hierarchies are abolished. We have the power to imagine and design a better system. We must, Mason concludes, reach deep into the history and experience of resistance in order to be our own saviours.

This book covers a number of scientific topics which would be of interest and some of them may even provoke controversy. Einsteins famous relativity theories are covered in some detail to provoke thinking. When his controversial relativity theories, which apparently run against common sense, were first introduced, it was at that time claimed that only five persons really understood them. Today relativity is accepted universally by the scientific community. To understand relativity is to understand nature itself, e.g., the concept of time, light, space and gravity. Other topics covered include consciousness and Covid-19, which are bound to arouse interest. Professor Paul Mason is the author of numerous books and research articles.

A washed up TV reporter stumbles onto a corruption scandal in Western China. Pursued through the desert by a psychotic spin-doctor and a world-weary cop, he discovers the real China: illegal metal mines, a fashion-crazed gang of girl bikers, a whole commune of Tiananmen Square survivors and the up-market sleaze-joints of Beijing.En route, he clashes with a stellar cast of people-traffickers, prostitutes and TV execs. But then the unquiet dead begin to intervene: ghosts from his own past and the past of Chinese Communism; the spirits that hover three feet above our heads of Chinese folklore.Rare Earth is a story about love, journalism, ghosts, metallurgy, vintage militaria and large motorcycles set in the badlands of Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. It is about the wests inability to understand the East; one mans epic journey across a dying landscape, where thousands of pairs of eyes peer beyond grimy windowpanes into the moonless sky, looking for something better.

Do autor de Pós-capitalismo e Um futuro livre e radioso, um manual para resistir coletivamente ao avanço da extrema-direita.Das cinzas de um mundo destroçado por uma pandemia, temos a oportunidade única de criar uma sociedade mais justa e igualitaria. Para isso, temos de nos perguntar: em que mundo queremos viver? E o que estamos dispostos a fazer?Plano Nacional de LeituraEnsaio - Maiores de 18 anosNum momento de tenso geopolitica e de incerteza economica global, uma ideia transforma-se em evidencia: o fascismo no e uma coisa do passado. A medida que a situaço da Humanidade se agrava, os movimentos de extrema-direita ganham força, como um pesadelo coletivo recorrente.Para combater este sistema, temos de compreender o seu percurso, as suas raizes psicologicas na sociedade, a teoria politica que lhe da forma e as condiçes que o permitem. Acima de tudo, diz Mason, temos de entender o fascismo como um sintoma do inquestionavel falhanço do capitalismo.Em Como travar o fascismo, Paul Mason, jornalista, professor universitario e ativista britanico, conta a historia deste fenomeno politico, faz um retrato arrepiante do seu movimento contemporaneo e traça um plano radical e otimista para derrotar a extrema-direita no seculo XXI.Os elogios da critica:Pela sua profundidade historica, vitalidade analitica e potencial de mobilizaço, este livro e inigualavel. Como travar o fascismo e um alerta visceral sobre o que esta aqui em jogo, e todas as paginas so um apelo urgente a resistencia. David Lammy, Membro Do Parlamento BritanicoPaul Mason defende a necessidade de um movimento politico antifascista mais amplo, algo que pareceria radical ha dez anos, mas que se configura, hoje, como urgente. A historia relembra-nos que no estamos livres do risco de viver sob o jugo do fascismo. Pode acontecer em qualquer lado. Angela Saini, autora de Superior: The Return Of Race Science.Como travar o fascismo, de Paul Mason, e absolutamente util A sua definiço do fenomeno capturou por completo a minha atenço. Uma ferramenta indispensavel. The NationalUm trabalho erudito, relevante para todos aqueles que procurem as origens do fascismo ou que vejam em Trump, Bolsonaro e nos movimentos de extrema-direita um pouco por toda a Europa um pressagio do regresso da Humanidade aos seus momentos mais negros.
