  The Econocracy: On the Perils of Leaving Economics to the Experts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min

  Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Econocracy by Joe Earle, Cahal Moran and Zach Ward-Perkins, read by Jonathan Keeble. A century ago, the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is most of us can't speak it. This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as 'proven' by the models of economic 'science'. Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite. The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists - and shows us how we can begin to participate more fully in the decisions which affect all our futures. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/pauk/000983/bk_pauk_000983_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Philosophy of Social Ecology (eBook, ePUB)

  What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, 
















Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head
on: invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in
diversity, in the service of ever expanding freedom.



 Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, they take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.

  Making Mobilities Matter (eBook, ePUB)

  Making Mobilities Matter explores the interconnection between everyday practice and policy and planning in urban mobilities. It develops a theoretical framework for understanding everyday life and its mobilities in a mobile risk society and critiques the technocratic views that still dominate transport politics and research. Recognizing the importance of culture and everyday life in shaping urban mobilities, it examines how contemporary communities exist, expand, and are sustained through localized and virtual forms of sharing responsibility, exchanging life experiences, creating meaning, and giving ontological security to people's lives. It also offers perspectives on the emotional aspect of mobilities in everyday life and how utopias can respond to these emotions. Making Mobilities Matter ends with a discussion of the prospects for urban mobilities in the future and how these issues are vital in battling climate change. Making Mobilities Matter is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the importance of mobilities in sustainable urban development and tackling climate change.

  CRUNCH: Patterns in Shadow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min

  At the dawn of the 22nd century, the Rapture Virus has claimed over a third of the world’s population. In the wake of this pandemic, futuristic megacities like Delphi, glittering, technocratic sprawls stand as bastions of safety and progress in an otherwise chaotic world. The epidemiologist, former WHO employee, and misguided idealist Richard Pythagoras Black (Py for short) finds himself out of prison on work release for one of Delphi’s foremost progenitors, the morally ambiguous megacorporation Vergeron. Py isn’t long at his new post when he stumbles upon a corpse in Delphi’s Old Town district, where a glimpse of a shadowy figure sends Py spiraling into a mystery beyond anything he could imagine.Armed with Alice, a fledgling AI tailor made by Doctor Benjamin Whitechapel with a habit of bypassing secure systems, the help of the skeptical officer Logan Maxwell, and his own relentless obsession, Py begins a journey to crunch the data, following a trail of peculiar events never previously connected, revealing a sickness running through the very heart of Delphi. ungekürzt.

  Swallowing a Donkey's Eye , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min

  FARM WANTS YOU!!! Farm is the mega-conglomerate food supplier for City, populated with rabidly bureaucratic superiors, and sexually deviant tour guides dressed in chicken and duck suits. City is sprawling, technocratic, and rests hundreds of feet above the coastline on the creaking shoulders of a giant wooden pier. When the narrator's single mother, whom he left behind in City, falls out of contact, he fears the worst: his mother is homeless and subsequently to be deported under City to the Pier. On his desperate search to find his mother, he encounters ecoterrorists wearing plush animal suits, City's all-powerful Mayor who is infatuated with magic refrigerators and outlaw campaigns, and an over-sexed priest who may or may not have ESP, but who is most certainly his deadbeat dad. Whether rebelling against regimented and ridiculous Farm life, exploring the consumer-obsessed world of City, experiencing the suffering of the homeless in Pier, or confronting the secrets of his own childhood, Swallowing a Donkey's Eye's narrator is a hilarious, neurotic, and rage-filled Quixote searching for his mother, his own dignity, and the meaning of humanity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Casey Jones. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/011802/bk_adbl_011802_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
