William Robinson Knihy

Pavol Dinka, spisovateľ literatúry faktu a publicista, vo svojej ôsmej knihe prostredníctvom rozhovorov s významnými intelektuálmi - filozofmi, sociológmi, politológmi a ekonómami - skúma smerovanie súčasného kritického myslenia. Názov knihy, Besy kapitalizmu alebo začiatok novej éry?, vystihuje globálny obsah rozhovorov a poukazuje na neutešený stav svetovej civilizácie. Autor sa pýta, či sme v neoliberálnej "spáse" ľudstva alebo na prahu nových spoločenských alternatív voči kapitalizmu. Zmietame sa v krízach, identitárnej panike a nespravodlivosti, zatiaľ čo kódex ľudských práv stráca význam a počet vylúčených narastá. Na druhej strane, bohatstvo úzkej elitnej skupiny sa zvyšuje, pričom si nárokuje dominanciu nad planetou. Existuje nejaké východisko? Autor sa spolu s interviewovanými snaží nájsť odpovede a ponúka čitateľovi pohľad z diaľky, aký majú kozmonauti na Zem, aby sme si uvedomili, že na tej malej bodke prebieha celý život a boj o osud ekonomiky, politiky a kultúry, ktorý závisí len od nás. Toto je rozhodujúce posolstvo knihy.

Autor předkládá systematický rozbor současného globálního uspořádání v oblasti společnosti, ekonomiky a politiky. Svojí filosofickou kritikou vyznačuje možné trajektorie dalšího vývoje.

"Global capitalism is facing an unprecedented crisis. The global economy is mired in prolonged stagnation. The worldwide social fabric is in decay. Civil strife and social upheaval are tearing up political systems and, in some cases, leading to the collapse of states. The planetary ecosystem is breaking down. Millions are fleeing, displaced by climate change, transnational corporate land grabs, wars and political persecution. How far into the future can global capitalism endure? In this urgent new study, sociologist William I. Robinson presents a “big picture” snapshot of the crisis of capitalism and the battle for the future of humanity. Drawing on 30 years of scholarship and activism, Robinson applies his original theory of global capitalism to the emerging digital age. He shows how global elites have pinned their hope on economic reactivation through the application of radical new digital technologies and financial strategies to the global economy and society. The rulers will turn to enhancing a global police state to contain mass rebellion as humanity enters a season of chaos and global civil war. The capitalist class and privileged strata of humanity may be able to survive collapse for decades to come even as a majority of humanity faces desperate struggles for survival that lead many to perish in the coming years. But there is eventually a terminal point to capitalist expansion as mass extinction and the radical alteration of the natural environment make life for our species and most others impossible. The only solution is a reversal of escalating inequalities through a radical redistribution of wealth and power downward as a first step in replacing the capitalist system, with its relentless pursuit of private profit at all cost, by an ecosocialism that prioritizes social need and harmony with the rest of nature. Theoretically sophisticated and engaging, this concise study will be satisfying to scholars yet accessible to a broader public concerned with the urgent political affairs of our day"-- Provided by publisher

The book presents a series of eight lectures focused on the nature of the church, exploring its relationship with the Word of God. Originally prepared for the 1937 Edinburgh Conference, the content reflects Robinson's belief that sacramental and ministerial questions are intertwined with ecclesiology. Drawing from 19th-century unity movements led by Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell, the lectures aim to address foundational issues of church identity and unity within the broader context of religious discourse.

The craziest inventions and funniest machines from the pen of Heath Robinson

"An original and cutting-edge exposé of the radical transformation of global capitalism now underway, driven by new digital technologies and turbo-charged by the pandemic. Critically-acclaimed scholar and activist William I. Robinson provides shocking data and analysis on the concentration of power and control in the hands of corporate conglomerates, tech giants, mega-banks, and the military-industrial complex. The book documents the extent of unprecedented global inequalities as the mass of humanity faces violent dispossession and uncertain survival. Enabled by digital applications, the ruling groups, unless they are pushed to change course by mass pressure from below, will turn to ratcheting up the global police state to contain the global revolt. If the book issues a dire warning against the emergence of a dystopic digitalized dictatorship it also finds great hope and inspiration in the burgeoning social movements of the poor and the dispossessed as humanity descends into global civil war. While deeply analytical and theoretically sophisticated, the study is written in such a style that it is eminently accessible to a wider public beyond the academy. While the work will satisfy scholars, it is destined to become a companion text to those struggling on the frontlines for global social justice and a more hopeful future."
