And Other Essays

*Shortlisted for the 2026 Cundill History Prize*When the gates of the last Magdalene Laundry closed in 1996, Ireland moved on. Or so it seemed. 'Enraging ... superb' JOHN BANVILLE, Guardian 'Remarkable' Sunday Times 'Groundbreaking' MICK CLIFFORD, Irish Examiner 'An extraordinary gift ... both an education and a page-turner' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA 'Powerful ... authoritative, passionate' Mail on SundayFollowing independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation. But purity had a price. Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of women and girls who did not conform - the wayward, the poor, the disabled, the abused - were sent to the Magdalene Laundries. Each was perceived to have fallen in some way. Once locked inside, their hair was shorn off, their names were erased - and then they were put to work. They washed, they scrubbed and they prayed, labouring in an attempt to salvage their souls.Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the last Laundry's closure, The Fallen is the forgotten story of the Magdalene Laundries, told through the voices of the women who endured them, the nuns who presided over them and the communities that lived alongside them.Unflinching and compassionate, Louise Brangan draws on archives and survivors' testimonies to dismantle long-held myths about what the Laundries were, who was sent to these places of violence and secrecy, and why. As we move from the past into the present, Brangan compels us not only to confront this shameful history, but to ask a deeper question: what do we choose to remember?'Highly readable and intelligently engaging' FINTAN O'TOOLE, TLS 'Indispensable' ANNE ENRIGHT 'A terrific unearthing of Ireland's shadowland. A landmark book' RORY CARROLL 'Vivid, fluent and deeply compassionate' Irish Times*Winner of the 2024 Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Award*

The Magdalene Laundries and Ireland’s Legacy of Silence

The Fallen

This book deals with a politically and intellectually exciting period in the history of Catholicism. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, massive changes took place, especially in the German-speaking regions. First, the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist, and new states emerged. Secondly, the Enlightenment exercised a significant effect on the wider culture, as did Classical German Philosophy. Both aspects had a significant impact on Catholic theology, too. Benjamin Dahlke offers a comprehensive account of these developments which have influenced Catholicism up to this day. In this sense, the book enables the reader to identify lasting substantive challenges and to gain a clearer understanding of the institutional framework of Catholic theology.

The German-Speaking Regions, 1750-1850

Catholic Theology in a Time of Upheaval and Transition

The first American Pope’s words for the world reveal themes to his leadership: peace, hope, and unity."I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world. Peace be with you!"With his first public appearance before the world, Pope Leo XIV expressed hope for an “unarmed and disarming” peace. Collected in this beautiful edition are the sermons and speeches Pope Leo XIV has delivered since his May 8, 2025, election, including: <ul><li>his First Apostolic blessing, delivered to the Central Loggia of the Vatican Basilica</li><li>“Called to Be a Light of Hope,” his video message to the young people of Chicago and the whole world</li><li>“The compass of natural law,” his Address to Members of the International Inter-Parliamentary Union</li><li>a special preface addressing U.S. readers</li><li>and more.</li></ul> These first addresses convey some of Pope Leo XIV’s vision for the future: the primacy of God, communion in the Church, and the pursuit of peace. His countless calls for reconciliation are addressed not only to politics, but to the heart of every person: “Peace begins with each of us: from the way we look at others, listen to others, speak about others.” He shows us that unity is possible, and it begins in our hearts.In his own words, Pope Leo XIV welcomes us all into communion and calls us to act to protect our shared humanity and our precious home.

Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

This book examines the medieval debate on the role of money and credit in the Islamic and Western Christian worlds.Starting from Aristotle's vision of the ethical and egalitarian use of wealth, fundamental to both Islamic and Christian thinkers, it highlights how the two visions of money and credit share a strong ethical-religious foundation. However, thinking on monetary and credit matters in the Western Christian and Islamic worlds has developed differently, partly due to the different evolution of the two economic systems. In Islamic economic thought, particular attention has been paid to the prohibition of paying interest on loans, the main basis for which lies in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This has had interesting repercussions both on the development of the socio-economic system and on theoretical thinking. In the Western Christian world, too, this prohibition was based on ethical and religious grounds. Taking an Aristotelian perspective, the writings of the Thomists and the Franciscan and Augustinian schools reiterated the need for an ethical assessment of credit and interest. This resulted in a significant contribution to the process of secularization of economic science and valuable theoretical support for important institutional developments.This book will be of great interest to readers of Islamic and Christian ethics, the history of money and, more generally, the history of economic thought.

Divine Ruin

Acclaimed economist James K. Galbraith sounds an urgent alarm: how conventional economic ideas and policies are unequipped to account for the most daunting challenges of our geopolitical moment.Amid a mounting sense of American decline, Americans live with a new kind of dissonance: economists announcing that everything is fundamentally fine. Where growth is steady, unemployment is low, prices are (somewhat) stable, and stocks are high--what's there to worry about? The Power to Destroy shows that this dissonance reflects a failure to evolve. James K. Galbraith's incisive history of economic policy in this century is grounded in the fundamental problem that today's experts are still deploying tools from all yesterday's wars: obsolete economic ideas, measures, and doctrines focused on market functioning and crude economic indicators like output and prices. These methods, many of them honed a century ago against a vastly different social landscape, offer little hope in the face of today's more existential threats. Such conventional policies, Galbraith argues, are increasingly ill-equipped to counter the daunting challenges of our moment--from inflation to trade sanctions, industrial cold wars, and climate change--and, left unacknowledged, are accelerating the end of the US economy as we know it. Shortcomings include the weak responses to the inflation of 2021-2022; the sanctions war against Russia; the rise of China; the weak and ineffective attempt at industrial revival; and the impending demographic crisis. All have roots in a flawed body of outdated economic thought that has been sustained for ideological rather than practical reasons. They now promise to hinder the United States in the emerging multipolar world. As Galbraith makes plain, for all the virtues of the market system, governments and their policies make markets possible. The ideas behind the policies--for better or worse--will determine the fate of the US economy--and new and better ideas are urgently needed. The alternative--sticking with economic ideas and policies we know and currently use--brings the power to destroy us all.

How Bad Economics Drove America’s Decline

The Power to Destroy

A nation on the cusp of war. A king ousted from his capital by the people. A society on the brink of collapse. From Jonathan Healey comes a gripping history about the months that sent England into civil war 'An old-fashioned Westminster thriller . . . You could hardly find a more engrossing or exciting story' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES 'A rollicking history, packed with fire and excitement *****' DANIEL BROOKS, TELEGRAPH 'The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last' LITERARY REVIEW After years of tension between a king and his people, in 1641 England reaches a semblance of peace. Armies have disbanded, legislation has passed to ensure Parliament will continue to sit, and the people are tentatively optimistic. Radical politicians congratulate themselves on a stunning political victory. Royal servants are coming to accept an altered future. Then comes winter. With it, chaos, protests, political deadlock, and eventually a remarkable attempt by King Charles I to destroy his opponents. On 4 January 1642 Charles marches on the small riverside city of Westminster at the head of an army, seeking to arrest five Members of Parliament. In doing so, he sets in motion a series of events that will lead to bloodshed and war, changing a nation forever. Why did the English Civil War break out? The Blood in Winter tells the story of an English people's great political awakening, and of a nation that splintered into bloodshed at a terrifying speed. Jonathan Healey recreates the claustrophobic atmosphere of the day, with rowdy protestors in the streets and London blanketed in coal smoke. It is a story of remarkable but flawed characters, all faced with unpalatable choices, and a frightening picture of a society in profound distress.
