Machiavelli has a reputation as an immoral thinker. His most famous work, The Prince, is oftemnm criticized as being a manual for political cunning and cynicism. On the contrary, Machiavelli invites us to face up to political and human reality. Faced with illusions and moralistic rhetoric, we must seek the truth and adopt a scientific approach to seriously reflect upon action. This introduction provides us with the keys to understanding The Prince, a foundational book of modern political t...

It's high time we realized that there is hardly a thinker who has more perceptively sketched the outlines of a future that is our present. Contrary to what is repeated by those who would like to refute Marx without having read him, the economic predictions deduced from the analyses in Capital have, for the most part, been validated. This book demonstrates this with rare clarity, tracing the history of capitalism over the last hundred years in the light of Marxian theses. The concentration ...

Emancipation is the real thread running through Marx's thought. He's not concerned with capitalism, or Marxism for that matter, but with capital: it's this fundamental notion that we need to return to in order to understand Marx's thought and communism. This also requires resituating the richness of his argumentation in the light of his life's journey, rather than the myth that has been forged around the father of "Marxism". Denis Collin helps us understand Marx's ideas and why he deserves...

Our contemporary societies let us believe that we are free—it is a delusion. We are still shackled in our chains, even in the West. Chains that we take for wings: we believe ourselves to be in a democracy, we think that work allows us to emancipate ourselves, and we imagine that new technologies facilitate our lives. This is our daily “Newspeak.” But oligarchy reigns. People are mired in consumerism and liberalism. Security control is more and more prevalent, while medical progress in proc...

For four centuries, the modern world has been dominated by machinery. It was born with capitalist production. It quickly became symbiotic with capitalist development, which found its driving force in mechanics. Calculation, predictability, the power of abstraction - the categories of modern science were well suited to this new mode of production, which was about to invade the planet. However, all trends that lead to the elimination of life in favor of the mechanical lead to a general commo...

Capitalism has been an unprecedented engine of wealth creation for many centuries, leading to sustained productivity gains and long-term growth and lifting an increasing proportion of humanity out of poverty. But its effects, and hence its future, have come increasingly under question: Is capitalism still improving wealth and well-being for the many? Or, is long-term value creation being sacrificed to the pressures of short-termism, with potentially far-reaching consequences for society, t...

New Tools for Succeeding GloballyWhy do so many global strategies fail--despite companies' powerful brands and other border-crossing advantages? Because a one-size-fits-all strategy no longer stands a chance.When firms believe in the illusions of a "flat" world and the death of distance, they charge across borders as if the globe were one seamless marketplace. But cross-border differences are larger than we assume. Most economic activity--including trade, r...

Our free-market capitalist system is the world's greatest driver of prosperity, but it has a dark side. Under intense pressure to make the numbers, executives and employees face temptation to cut corners, fudge accounts, or worse. And in today's unforgiving environment, such lapses can be catastrophic. Fines and settlements have amounted to billions of dollars. Careers and companies have imploded.In High Performance with High Integrity, Ben Heineman argues that there is only one wa...
