Book excerpt: An extraordinary novel inspired by true events. 1943. Tasa Rosinski and five relatives, all Jewish, escape their rural village in eastern Poland—avoiding certain death—and find refuge in a bunker beneath a barn built by their longtime employee. A decade earlier, ten-year-old Tasa dreams of someday playing her violin like Paganini. To continue her schooling, she leaves her family for a nearby town, joining older cousin Danik at a private Catholic academy where her musical talent flourishes despite escalating political tension. But when the war breaks out and the eastern swath of Poland falls under Soviet control, Tasa’s relatives become Communist targets, her tender new relationship is imperiled, and the family’s secure world unravels. From a peaceful village in eastern Poland to a partitioned post-war Vienna, from a promising childhood to a year living underground, Tasa’s Song celebrates the bonds of love, the power of memory, the solace of music, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY): Bronze Medal, Historical Fiction 2016 Foreword INDIES Book Awards: Finalist - Historical Fiction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La desigualdad económica es uno de los fantasmas que hoy recorren el mundo. Lo mismo en países desarrollados que en los que se esfuerzan por salir de la miseria, este azote contemporáneo confirma de manera dolorosa que el progreso técnico, la apertura de los mercados y la diseminación de la democracia —sobre todo si se queda en su aspecto formal— son insuficientes para que los beneficios del crecimiento se distribuyan de modo equitativo. El World Inequality Lab, una iniciativa académica dirigida por los responsables de este volumen, ha construido en los últimos años la World Inequality Database, sin duda la más confiable fuente de información acerca de la desigualdad en el mundo; con este primer Informe sobre la desigualdad global se inicia la publicación bienal de estudios sobre cómo está evolucionando la distribución del ingreso y la riqueza. Convencidos de que la información de calidad es imprescindible para mejorar los debates sobre la necesaria acción del Estado y la sociedad organizada, los autores presentan aquí tendencias y análisis de la situación en el planeta y en países concretos hasta ahora poco estudiados, como China, Brasil o España, y concluyen con un sólido arsenal de políticas públicas para enfrentar este fenómeno cruel, injusto... y evitable. Tras examinar este informe [...] es fácil creer que la creciente concentración del ingreso es una imparable fuerza de la naturaleza, un efecto económico inevitable debido a la globalización y la tecnología. [...] Pero un análisis cuidadoso de los datos sugiere que la desbocada desigualdad no es algo fatal. Eduardo Porter y Karl Rusell, The New York Times Este libro se basa en una metodología pionera [...] Espero que los políticos puedan leerlo y dejen de contentarse con hacer uso de la palabra. De no hacerlo, una sociedad civil transnacional se apoderará de ella para convertirla en un arma de construcción masiva. Vittorio de Filippis, Libération

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking history of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) examines, for the first time in any language, how General Francisco Franco and his Nationalist forces managed state finance and economic production, and mobilized support from elites and middle-class Spaniards, to achieve their eventual victory over Spanish Republicans and the revolutionary left. The Spanish Nationalists are exceptional among counter-revolutionary movements of the twentieth century, Michael Seidman demonstrates, because they avoided the inflation and shortages of food and military supplies that stymied not only their Republican adversaries but also their counter-revolutionary counterparts—the Russian Whites and Chinese Nationalists. He documents how Franco’s highly repressive and tightly controlled regime produced food for troops and civilians; regular pay for soldiers, farmers, and factory workers; and protection of property rights for both large and small landowners. These factors, combined with the Nationalists’ pro-Catholic and anti-Jewish propaganda, reinforced solidarity in the Nationalist zone. Seidman concludes that, unlike the victorious Spanish Nationalists, the Russian and Chinese bourgeoisie were weakened by the economic and social upheaval of the two world wars and succumbed in each case to the surging revolutionary left.
