Zusammenhalt. Zum Wandel einer
Beschwörungsformel

Zusammenhalt. Zum Wandel einer Beschwörungsformel

Mittelweg 36, Heft 1 Februar/März 2026

Argentine Freedom
 is the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: Is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger revival of the classical liberal tradition?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty-first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti-establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a new way to understand Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.
 Sebastián Álvarez
 is Professor at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile and Associate Researcher at the Graduate Institute in Geneva, Switzerland. His work explores the history of finance and banking in Latin America, with particular attention to how capital markets shape economic policy and international relations. He is the author of 
 Mexican Banks and Foreign Finance
 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019).
 Ezequiel Spector
 is Research Professor and Director of the Master of Arts program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Adolfo Ibáñez University in Chile. He is the author of 
 Freedom as Social Cooperation
 &nbsp;(Palgrave Macmillan, 2026).

How do today's celebrities have the enormous power and influence to be able to push products and change minds? The dizzying proliferation of platforms, channels, and content formats in today's digital world has fed a ravenous market for celebrity culture. Companies fork out billions each year to hire celebrities and influencers to endorse products, brands, political figures, and charitable causes--because the right celebrity endorsement is worth its weight in gold. In The Golden Pitch, Martha Laham reveals how celebrities leverage their fame to drive consumer choices and sway opinions, and how companies harness this star power to move products and engage audiences. Through a vivid array of historical and contemporary examples and stories, she delves into the history of celebrity, society's fascination with fame, the use of influencer endorsements, the rise of the microcelebrity, and the future of fame and celebrity in the digital age. This in-depth look at the persuasive power of celebrities and influencers uncovers the roots of celebrity worship and illustrates the significant role that the media has played in fueling today's celebrity culture. With a thoughtful consideration of the next stage in the evolution of celebrity and influence, The Golden Pitch also charts the future of fame and how it will influence brands, advertising, politics, and more in the years to come.

The Golden Pitch

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

Die Universitäten sind seit den 68ern die Brutstätten einer folgenschweren gesellschaftlichen Fehlentwicklung: Ideologie statt Empirie, Haltung statt Fakten, Diversität statt Qualität. Das sagt Deutschlands bekanntester "Plagiatsjäger" Stefan Weber. Der habilitierte Kommunikationswissenschaftler beschreibt in seinem Buch seine Erfahrungen mit dem Linksruck an österreichischen und deutschen Universitäten und dem Siegeszug der zweifelhaften Gender Studies. Weber liefert Zahlen und Fakten zum Bildungsnotstand und zur zunehmenden Studierunfähigkeit der Abiturienten. Und er fragt, warum an Universitäten Zentren für "intersektionale Geschlechterforschung" gegründet werden, aber nicht für "gute wissenschaftliche Praxis".

Jugendgerichtsgesetz. JGG

Wir Menschen sind schlicht und einfach ein Stück Natur.
Wenn dies aber mehr und mehr vergessen oder unüberlegt zur Seite geschoben wird - indem sich Einige auf einem deutlichen Irrweg befinden und viele andere diesem folgen, kommt es spätestens langfristig dazu, vielleicht auch schon früher, dass die wunderbare Natur der Spezies Mensch nur noch als Erinnerung auf alten Mikrochips zu finden ist.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital reveals how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare and offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, anti-trust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.
