    American Coup: How a Terrified Government Is Destroying the Constitution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    A stunning exploration of the subtle erosion of freedom in an age of concocted fear and de facto military authority. When we think of a military coup, the first image that comes to mind is a general, standing at a podium with a flag behind him, declaring the deposing of elected leaders and the institution of martial law. Think again.In American Coup, William Arkin reveals the desk-bound takeover of the highest reaches of government by a coterie of "grey men" of the national security establishment. Operating between the lines of the Constitution this powerful and unelected group fights to save the nation from "terror" and weapons of mass destruction while at the same time modifying and undermining the very essence of the country. Many books are written about secrecy, surveillance, and government law-breaking; none so powerfully expose the truth of everyday life in this state of war. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Fake Law
    THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A powerful polemic' Sunday Times'A compelling, eye-opening read' Daily Express- Did an illegal immigrant avoid deportation because he had a cat?- Is the law on the side of the burglar who enters your home? - Are unelected judges 'enemies of the people'?Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society.Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge - worse, we risk letting them make us complicit.Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds a defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy that is as entertaining as it is vital.

    Ambition, Pragmatism, and Party: A Political Biography of Gerald R. Ford , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 982min
    Within eight turbulent months in 1974 Gerald Ford went from the United States House of Representatives, where he was the minority leader, to the White House as the country's first and only unelected president. His unprecedented rise to power, after Richard Nixon's equally unprecedented fall, has garnered the lion's share of scholarly attention devoted to America's 38th president. But Gerald Ford's (1913-2006) life and career in and out of Washington spanned nearly the entire 20th century. Ambition, Pragmatism, and Party captures for the first time the full scope of Ford's long and remarkable political life. The man who emerges is keenly ambitious, determined to climb the political ladder in Washington, and loyal to his party but not a political ideologue. Drawing on interviews with family and congressional and administrative officials, presidential historian Scott Kaufman traces Ford's path from a Depression-era childhood through service in World War II to entry into Congress shortly after the Cold War began. He delves deeply into the workings of Congress and legislative-executive relations, offering insight into Ford's role as the House minority leader in a time of conservative insurgency in the Republican Party. ungekürzt.

    The Devil in DC: Winning Back the Country from the Beast in Washington , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    Government intrusion into our private lives is at an all-time high: unfettered surveillance, massive entitlement programs to redistribute wealth, unelected activist judges trampling religious freedom. The Founding Fathers said our nation demanded a moral, educated, and principled populace to keep elected officials in check, to keep our government and culture clean and free of degrading forces, and to maintain its foundational core values. Today we see what happens when unchecked, greedy, self-serving utopian politicians get the free run of Washington. What can you do about it? The Devil in DC provides more than a dozen different ideas on how to turn back Big Government, stressing the importance of: Knowing the Constitution Getting out of debt Holding elected leaders accountable Voting, volunteering, and running for office Standing fast in the face of the progressive onslaught Confessing, repenting, and praying The Bible teaches of "a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:8). Right now, with chaos and turmoil increasingly engulfing America, this is a time to fight - by following the battle plan in The Devil in DC. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Chambers.

    Building the Empire State: Political Economy in the Early Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min
    Building the Empire State examines the origins of American capitalism by tracing how and why business corporations were first introduced into the economy of the early republic. Brian Phillips Murphy follows the collaborations between political leaders and a group of unelected political entrepreneurs, including Robert R. Livingston and Alexander Hamilton, who persuaded legislative powers to grant monopolies corporate status in order to finance and manage civic institutions. Murphy shows how American capitalism grew out of the convergence of political and economic interests, wherein political culture was shaped by business strategies and institutions as much as the reverse. Focusing on the state of New York, a onetime mercantile colony that became home to the first American banks, utilities, canals, and transportation infrastructure projects, Building the Empire State surveys the changing institutional ecology during the first five decades following the American Revolution. By playing a central role in the creation and regulation of institutions that facilitated private commercial transactions, New York State's political officials created formal and informal precedents for the political economy throughout the northeastern United States and toward the expanding westward frontier. The political, economic, and legal consequences organizing the marketplace in this way continue to be felt in the vast influence and privileged position held by corporations in the present day. ungekürzt.

    Free Pass is an intoxicating tale of liberty, privacy, and shame, set in the sticky place where sex, politics, and technology come together.

When the couple receives a bizarre gift - a cutting-edge humanoid sex AI that can morph into anyone - their worlds of fantasy, trust, and consent are thrown into blissful chaos.

    In Defense of Public Service: How 22 Million Government Workers Will Save Our Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
    “Dr. Alexander . . . brings to this book an acute understanding of both why our cherished form of government - and those who serve us in the civil service - appears to be under such unrelenting attack and how we, as citizens, should and must respond.” (from the foreword by Congressman Elijah E. Cummings) When those we elect descend into partisan tribalism, criminal malfeasance, and emulation of foreign autocracies and oligarchies, Cedric Alexander says it is the unelected apolitical "fourth branch" of government - our nation's public servants, civil servants, and first responders - who must save the nation. Alexander, a former deputy mayor, police chief, and CNN commentator, argues that these people do not constitute a nefarious "deep state" pursuing a hidden agenda. They are the analysts, scientists, lawyers, accountants, educators, consultants, enforcers of regulations, and first responders of every kind who keep the country running and its people safe. Alexander recounts the evolution of the professional civil service as an antidote to widespread cronyism, offers examples of how it has served as a bulwark against powerful corrupting influences, and describes the role it can play in bringing our badly divided society together. To the general public, many of these 22 million people remain invisible and their contributions hidden. But now is the time to make the invisible visible. ungekürzt. Language: English.
