Ewald Engelen Ontwaak!
kom uit uw neoliberale sluimer
Het mysterie van onze tijd is niet de politieke fragmentatie, de electorale woede of het rechtspopulisme, maar waarom al die protesten en tegenstemmen zo machteloos zijn gebleken. Wanneer de boze burger in het stemhokje staat, kleurt hij toch weer de vakjes rood die horen bij de grote middenpartijen, de VVD voorop. In een vlammend essay laat Ewald Engelen zien waarom de burger de politiek niet afrekent op de gevolgen van het decennialange neoliberale beleid: de eurocrisis, de bankencrisis, de flexibilisering...

Tim de Wit Wankel koninkrijk
hoe ik Groot-Brittannië door de Brexit heb zien veranderen
Tim de Wit vestigde zich zeven jaar geleden als correspondent in het relatief rustige Londen. Wat volgde was een achtbaan aan politieke gebeurtenissen, intriges en vooral… chaos.

Schotland wil weg, in Noord-Ierland rommelt het weer, Boris Johnson liegt er vrolijk op los en zelfs na de Russische invasie in Oekraïne...

But the Englishman, as he has since become, works until he can pretend that he never worked at all." ‘Eugenics and Other Evils’ (1922) is a magnificent takedown of the entire basis of eugenic thought – the idea that controlled breeding will improve the human population. But it is about far more than eugenics: it is about how evil succeeds...
