2. San Fransicko
The nation's best-selling author of "Apocalypse Never" criticizes Progressives for their mismanagement of America's struggling cities.
Progressives claim to know how to solve homelessness, inequality, and crime. Yet in the cities they control, Progressives have exacerbated these issues.
Michael Shellenberger has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for thirty years. During this time, he advocated for the decriminalization of drugs, affordable housing, and alternatives to prison sentences. However, as homeless encampments spread and overdose deaths surged, Shellenberger decided to take a closer look at the problem.
What he discovered shocked him. The problems had intensified not despite, but because of progressive policies. San Francisco and other West Coast cities—Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland—had not only tolerated homelessness, drug trafficking, and crime but actively promoted them.
San Francisco demonstrates that the underlying issue is not a lack of housing or funding for social programs. The real problem is an ideology that labels some individuals as victims based on their identity or experience, granting them a right to destructive behavior. The result is an undermining of the values that make cities and civilization itself possible.
3. Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher is the towering political figure of late-twentieth-century Great Britain. No other prime minister in modern times sought to change the British nation and its place in the world as radically as she did.
Published in a single volume for the first time, Margaret Thatcher is the story of her remarkable life told in her own words—the definitive account of an extraordinary woman and consummate politician, bringing together her bestselling memoirs The Downing Street Years and The Path to Power. Writing candidly about her upbringing and early years and the formation of her character and values, she details the experiences that propelled her to the very top in a man's world. She offers a riveting firsthand history of the major events, the crises and triumphs, during her eleven years as prime minister, including the Falklands War, the Brighton hotel bombing, the Westland affair, the final years of the Cold War, and her unprecedented three election victories. Thatcher's judgments of the men and women she encountered during her time in power—from statesmen, premiers, and presidents to Cabinet colleagues—are astonishingly frank, and she recalls her dramatic final days in office with a gripping, hour-by-hour description from inside 10 Downing Street. Powerful, candid, and compelling, Margaret Thatcher stands as a testament to a great leader's significant legacy.

7. LEBEN. Meine Geschichte in der Geschichte
When we reach a certain age, it’s important to revisit the book of memories from time to time. This is an exercise we should all undertake before it’s too late! In "Life. My Story," Pope Francis tells the story of his life for the first time, based on the events that have shaped humanity – from the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when he was almost three years old, to the present day.
"Life" is a journey through the decades, retracing the key milestones of our time through the Pope's memories. These include the fall of the Berlin Wall, the coup by Videla in Argentina, the moon landing in 1969, and even the 1986 World Cup, where Maradona scored a goal that went down in history as "the Hand of God."
The book is filled with the memories of a priest who shares his personal perspective on the extermination of Jews by the Nazis, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the great economic crisis of 2008, the collapse of the Twin Towers, the pandemic, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and the conclave that elected him as Pope Francis. The "street pope" opens the treasure chest of his memories to recount, with his characteristic openness, those moments that changed the world.
At the same time, Francis shares important messages on major current issues such as social inequalities, the climate crisis, war, nuclear weapons, and racism. The voice of the Pope alternates with that of a narrator, Fabio Marchese Ragona, a journalist and Vatican expert, who describes the historical context in which the Pope has lived. "Let us learn from history so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past." Pope Francis.

10. Beliebige Fracht. Die Geschichte der globalen...
"Any Cargo: The History of the Global ..." by Ian Kumekawa is a captivating non-fiction book that illuminates the complex interconnections of the global economy and its impact on individual destinies. At its center is an unassuming cargo ship that served various functions, from a troop accommodation in the Falkland Islands to housing oil workers in Nigeria. Kumekawa uses the story of this ship to illustrate the major economic and political upheavals of the last five decades. Themes such as the oil boom, privatization, deregulation of financial markets, and the shift of jobs to low-wage countries are made tangible through the lens of a single fate. The book powerfully demonstrates that behind the abstract concepts of globalization and neoliberalism, there are always real people and their stories.
