'An urgent and vital call to arms that compassionately and forensically exposes the many ways criminal justice fails women, and offers practical and clear-sighted solutions' THE SECRET BARRISTER
The Dassault Mirage IIIO was the RAAF’s first supersonic combat aircraft, and served as its front-line fighter for over 20 years. During that time, it wore a great many color schemes, official and unofficial, and was adorned with many unit and individual markings. For the first time, the evolution and details of all these color schemes and markings is described and illustrated. The colors of this elegant aircraft changed with its roles and the changes in official thinking with regard to camouflage; the infamous Aussie sense of humor added some striking and unusual markings to Mirages over the years too!The authors have researched this topic in great depth, helped by access to official and private photo collections and the memories of Mirage pilots and ground crew. The manufacturers, Dassault, have also helped with information and photos of the very first Australian Mirages. Many of these photos are being published for the very first time, and they provide a striking visual record of the many colors carried by this much-loved French Lady - "The old adage often spoken about many aircraft rings true for the Mirage, if it looks right, it probably is right. The Mirage, in my opinion, was, is, and forever will be the most beautiful aircraft ever flown" (Paul Mason).

In Live Working or Die Fighting, Paul Mason tells the story of this new working class alongside the epic history of the global labour movement, from its formation in the factories of the 1800s through its near destruction by fascism in the 1930s and up to today's anti-globalisation movement.
Mezinárodně uznávaný řecký ekonom Yanis Varoufakis nabízí nekonvenční pohled na krizi, která vypukla v roce 2008 a přetrvává dodnes. Zkoumá historické kořeny a souvislosti této krize, včetně příčin krachu systému, který fungoval po desetiletí, a vyhlídky na ekonomické oživení. Varoufakis tvrdí, že běžně uváděné důvody, jako neoliberální ideologie a chamtivost, sice odrážejí realitu, ale neodhalují jádro problému. To spočívá v kolapsu globálního uspořádání, které vzniklo kolem roku 1971, jež autor přirovnává k mytické obludě Glogálnímu Minotaurovi. V období od padesátých do sedmdesátých let USA vytvářely zahraniční poptávku po svém exportu a pomáhaly rozvíjet ekonomiky svých bývalých nepřátel, jako jsou Německo a Japonsko. Když USA začaly ztrácet postavení tvůrce globálního přebytku, zvolily strategii záměrného zvyšování deficitů, což se stalo nástrojem posílení jejich hegemonie. Tyto deficity přitahovaly zahraniční kapitál a umožnily americkým spotřebitelům konzumovat zboží vyprodukované přebytkovými ekonomikami. Krize v roce 2008 nastala, když Globální Minotaurus, který zajišťoval stabilitu a růst, byl vážně zraněn. Jeho pád vedl k narušení globální ekonomiky a vyvolal radikální nejistotu a stagnaci. Bez nalezení způsobu, jak žít bez této obludy, hrozí pokračující nebezpečí a hrozby.

The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.In The Truth Is Not Enough, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism, and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, and it has haunted us throughout the twentieth century.History shows us the conditions that breed fascism, and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of Covid-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?
Meltdown is the gripping account of the financial collapse that destroyed the West’s investment banks, brought the global economy to its knees, and undermined three decades of neoliberal orthodoxy. Covering the development of the crisis from the economic front line, BBC Newsnight journalist Paul Mason explores the roots of the US and UK’s financial hubris, documenting the real-world causes and consequences from the Ford factory, to Wall Street, to the City of London. In this fully updated new edition, he recounts how the credit crunch became a full-blown financial crisis, and explores its impact on capitalist ideology and politics in our new age of austerity.

In this volume, Paul Mason explores how past societies have collapsed or changed, and provides a powerful critique of why our present system of financial capitalism has failed us. Most of all, he shows how, from the ashes of the crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable economy.
A passionate defence of humanity and a work of radical optimism from the international bestselling author of Postcapitalism How do we preserve what makes us human in an age of uncertainty? Are we now just consumers shaped by market forces? A sequence of DNA? A collection of base instincts? Or will we soon be supplanted by algorithms and A.I. anyway? In Clear Bright Future, Paul Mason calls for a radical, impassioned defence of the human being, our universal rights and freedoms and our power to change the world around us. Ranging from economics to Big Data, from neuroscience to the culture wars, he draws from his on-the-ground reporting from mass protests in Istanbul to riots in Washington, as well as his own childhood in an English mining community, to show how the notion of humanity has become eroded as never before. In this book Paul Mason argues that we are still capable - through language, innovation and co-operation - of shaping our future. He offers a vision of humans as more than puppets, customers or cogs in a machine. This work of radical optimism asks: Do you want to be controlled? Or do you want something better?

Sieben Impulse des Widerstands
Co takiego się stało, że coraz więcej ludzi decyduje się wyjść na ulice? I czy łączy ich jakiś wspólny interes, który może sprawić, że zmieni się oblicze świata, który znamy? Paul Mason twierdzi, że tak. Wytrawnym okiem reportera BBC opisuje miejsca i przyczyny buntów, starć i okupacji. Nie szczędząc kontekstu ekonomicznego, historycznego i socjologicznego, błyskotliwie pokazuje źródła toczącej się rewolucji. Entuzjazm i ciekawość Paula Masona są po prostu zaraźliwe. „Observer” Ta książka oferuje nie tylko pogłębiony pogląd na mechanizmy globalnej polityki, ale również osobiste spojrzenie człowieka, który zajmował pierwsze miejsce na widowni teatru światowych protestów. Mamy szczęście, że BBC wciąż zatrudnia dziennikarzy, których logiczne myślenie i niezawodna dociekliwość przynosi nam taką analizę. „Camden New Journal” Mason stał się prawdopodobnie najbardziej zaangażowanym mainstreamowym dziennikarzem naszych czasów. „New Statesman” Wyjaśniając, jak powstały i rozwinęły się nowe kultury protestu, Mason jest o wiele bardziej przenikliwy i precyzyjny niż większość dziennikarzy. „Guardian”
