The Democracy Project is an exploration of anti-capitalist dissent and new political ideas from David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years and a leading member of the Occupy movement.From the earliest meetings for Occupy Wall Street, David Graeber - activist, anarchist, and anthropologist - felt that something was different from previous demonstrations. As events gathered pace, from local actions like illegally teaching a seminar in the Bank of America lobby (in a tweed jacket he'd borrowed to look the part) to his harassment and attempted intimidation by New York police in Zuccotti Park, Graeber saw the other Occupy movements in Cairo, Athens, Barcelona and London and knew that times were truly changing.This witty, provocative, yet wide-ranging and ideas-driven look at the actions of the 99% is a vital read in today's protest climate, and asks: why did it work this time? What went right? And what can we all do now to make our world democratic once again? An energetic account of contemporary events, The Democracy Project will change the way you think about anarchism and political organization.David Graeber is a radical anthropologist at Goldsmiths, University of London, who has been involved with the Occupy movement, most actively at Wall Street. He has written for many publications including Harper's, The Wall Street Journal, The Nation, and The Guardian. He is also the author, most recently, of the widely praised Debt: The First 5,000 Years, as well as many books on social organization and revolution including Towards an Anthropological Theory of Value, Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology, Direct Action: An Ethnography.'I have twice given away David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years, and Christmas will not change my habits. The book is more readable and entertaining than I can indicate' Peter Carey, Observer, Books of the Year'Debt:The First 5,000 Years by Goldsmiths College anthropologist David Graeber has become one of the year's most influential books' Paul Mason, Guardian Books of 2011

The incredible story of a Wall Street banker who went to China with $400,000,000 and learned the hard way how (not) to do business there . . . In the early nineties, China finally opened for business and Wall Street wanted in on the act. When the investment bankers arrived from New York with their Harvard MBAs, pinstripes and tasselled loafers, ready to negotiate with the Old Cadres, the stage was set for collision. This is the true story of a tough Wall Street banker who came to China looking for glory. He teamed up with an ex-Red Guard and a Mandarin-speaking Englishman. Together, they raised over $400,000,000 and bought up factories all over China. Only as they watched those millions slide towards the abyss did they start to understand that China really doesn't play by anyone else's rules. Tim Clissold was there at the beginning of China's transformation and he's still there, doing business. In this new edition of his hugely successful book he describes just how much - and how little - has changed in China since his story began.

Bekæmpelse af social ulighed og utryghed var en central begrundelse for opbygningen af den danske velfærdsstat. Alligevel er det endt med stigende ulighed. Og alt imens har vi mistet evnen og begreberne til at sætte social ulighed i centrum for vores politik. Det går ikke bare ud over samfundets svageste. Det truer sammenhængskraften i Danmark. Sådan lyder diagnosen fra Erik Jørgen Hansen. Han påviser, at Danmark stadig er et klassesamfund, tager et opgør med troen på social mobilitet og stiller en række kontroversielle forslag til bekæmpelse af social ulighed. Erik Jørgen Hansen (f. 1935) er cand.polit. og tidligere forskningsleder i SFI – Det Nationale Forskningscenter for Velfærd samt forskningsprofessor ved DPU. Han er forfatter til bl.a. Den maskerede klassekamp (1990) og Konflikter og uligheder i det moderne samfund (2002) samt erindringsbogen Mit 1900-tal (2006).

Formålet med Mikkel Thorups bog ‘Gæld’ er ikke at skabe en ny teori om gæld eller at foreslå nye gældspraksisser. Det er langt mere beskedent, nemlig at være en løbende kommentering af det, vi kunne kalde for gældens kulturelle arkiv, dvs. en fremstilling af og kommentar til en række af de historiske og aktuelle tekster, der har været med til at forme og danne vores forestillinger om gæld. Det er altså gæld som idé og moralitet snarere end som økonomi, der er bogens omdrejningspunkt. Man kunne kalde bogen en gældens idehistorie. Bogen rummer kapitler om gældsmoral, gældsmennesket, gældspolitik og gældsmodstand.

Denne bog er en fremstilling af ejerlejligheds- og andelsboligretten, hvor fællestræk og forskelligheder belyses. Bogen er inddelt i fire kapitler: foreningsretten, ejerlejligheder, andelsboliger og overdragelsen.Da fremstillingen også henvender sig til andre end advokater, er en række praktiske problemstillinger inkluderet, og der vil herudover være nogle ”afstikkere” i form af emner, som måske ikke direkte vedrører ejerlejligheds- og andelsboliglovgivningen, men som alligevel er relevante, når man arbejder med de to boligformer i praksis.

Bogen omhandler emner, som ikke behandles eller som kun behandles i begrænset omfang i eksisterende lærebøger om revisorer og revision. Dette skyldes først og fremmest, at lærebøger ofte er engelsksprogede, har en målgruppe af forskellige nationaliteter og dermed ikke dækker de særlige danske forhold. Bogens kapitler tager derfor i vid udstrækning udgangspunkt i særlige danske forhold, der har betydning for revisorer og revision. Dette omfatter: Kvalitetskontrol Særlig regulering inden for visse brancher Begrebet god revisorskik Den danske ledelsesstruktur/corporate governance Intern revision I tilknytning hertil er det målet at gå mere i dybden inden for de enkelte emner, end eksisterende litteratur har gjort hidtil. Dette kommer især til udtryk i et særskilt kapitel om betydningen af brancheforskelle og konsekvenserne af disse for revisionsprocessen. Det vises således, hvorfor og hvordan revisors forståelse for branche, virksomhed og forretningsmæssige risici er vigtig og får konkret betydning i revisionsprocessen. Bogen er lærebog ved cand.merc.aud.-studiet. Om forfatterne Bogens forfattere er lektor Thomas Riise Johansen, statsautoriseret revisor Martin Lunden, statsautoriseret revisor Mikkel Harloff-Helleberg, statsautoriseret revisor Christina Davidsen og lektor Peter Birkholm Laursen.

"Overskud!" er også en personlig bog, da den bygger på forfatterens egne erfaringer og livsforløb, helt tilbage fra dengang han flyttede hjemmefra, flyttede sammen med sin kæreste, fandt en anden kæreste som han fik børn med, købte hus, blev ramt at nogle ulykker, oplevede at verden tog en drejning han ikke lige havde forventet og frem til nu, hvor han med udsigt til små 20 år mere på arbejdsmarkedet så småt er begyndt at tænke på sit livs tredje fase uden for arbejdsmarkedet.
