A groundbreaking new theory of the real rules of politics: leaders do whatever keeps them in power, regardless of the national interest. As featured on the viral video Rules for Rulers, which has been viewed over 3 million times. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith's canonical book on political science turned conventional wisdom on its head. They started from a single assertion: Leaders do whatever keeps them in power. They don't care about the "national interest"-or even their subjects-unless they have to. This clever and accessible book shows that democracy is essentially just a convenient fiction. Governments do not differ in kind but only in the number of essential supporters, or backs that need scratching. The size of this group determines almost everything about politics: what leaders can get away with, and the quality of life or misery under them. The picture the authors paint is not pretty. But it just may be the truth, which is a good starting point for anyone seeking to improve human governance.

From de award-winning Portuguese author Gonçalo JN Dias comes a trilogy about the struggle for power An unidentified object parked on the moon - and no one seems to know where it came from. Gustavo, a middle-aged computer programmer with a comfortable and grey life, decides to make a list of what he would need to survive a hypothetical attack. He becomes obsessed with the list, spends a fortune, robs a drugstore: his own family thinks he is going insane. However, after the attack, it’s the insane who are well prepared for a new era in society. Excerpt: Gustavo laughed again, he looked down with an amused look and saw the great hate that emanated from The Fatty. "Do you know why it came down to this? You on your knees and me standing and observing your village in flames? Because you’re the weakest link. You know, you fatty, in the animal world, the ones who adapt the better to the environmental conditions are the ones who survive, and just between you and me, we both have the best example of it. You, who still think you are the GNR commander and that someone will come from the past to make me pay for my deeds. While I have quickly adapted to the new reality: as soon as the craft landed on The Moon, I made a list of indispensable things, I spent a lot of money on this list, I robbed a drugstore and was considered to be crazy by my family, but when the attack occurred, this crazy one was the one who had adapted the best to the new environment. And, let me tell you: I longed for this attack; I was fed up with living my comfortable and gray life behind a computer. It’s your fault." – Gustavo pointed out to the village, from which, on that hill, one could hear the bustling noise of gunshots and could clearly see the fire inside the village and on the fields around it. – "Your pride and your attempt to keep your status-quo have brought us to this point. If you had known how to read the new winds, you would have understood that the only way was to join us and you’d certainly hold some important position in Malpica's committee or even as an officer in my army, but your lack of foresight has made your own village pay for it. Anyhow, it seems to me that it's for the best that people like you have no place in this new society – so as not to contaminate it. You’ve always taken advantage of your position to bring benefits to your house, you forgave fines, received bribes and gifts and certainly, you’d do the same in this new society if you were given a chance. But believe me, people like you, corrupt people who use their political or professional position to fill their pockets have their days numbered. For them, there will be a hard penalty, forced labor in prison along with the murderers, thieves and the remaining scum. The prisons in the Serrano Empire will be a place where there will be an average of work of twelve hours a day and if they get out of prison and commit another crime, there will be no second chance." "In the future, Gustavo, you will be remembered as a crazy and mad dictator. " – the former commander spoke now without any anger or hate, he had resigned himself to his cruel destiny and his look was serene and lost in the direction of his village. Gustavo also looked towards Malpica as if he watched a giant theater play and without shifting his eyes, he went on: " Perhaps, history is written by the victors and the same goes for the truth, there are always different perspectives."

'Brilliant' NEW STATESMAN, BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'Enlightening and a good read' SPECTATOR 'Moving and perceptive' NEW STATESMAN Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Ceausescu, Mengistu of Ethiopia and Duvalier of Haiti. No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. A tyrant who can compel his own people to acclaim him will last longer. The paradox of the modern dictator is that he must create the illusion of popular support. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of millions of people were condemned to enthusiasm, obliged to hail their leaders even as they were herded down the road to serfdom. In How to Be a Dictator, Frank Dikötter returns to eight of the most chillingly effective personality cults of the twentieth century. From carefully choreographed parades to the deliberate cultivation of a shroud of mystery through iron censorship, these dictators ceaselessly worked on their own image and encouraged the population at large to glorify them. At a time when democracy is in retreat, are we seeing a revival of the same techniques among some of today's world leaders? This timely study, told with great narrative verve, examines how a cult takes hold, grows, and sustains itself. It places the cult of personality where it belongs, at the very heart of tyranny.

Would you like to see... ... the United States budget balanced in one year? ... the $15 trillion debt gone in 10 years? ... the Internal Revenue Service abolished? ... a simple FairTax that would allow you to keep your entire paycheck with no deductions? ... a healthcare system based on free enterprise, not government bureaucracy? ... a free market based Social Security program that would let you control your own assets and leave an estate for your heirs? ... empowerment and entrepreneurship instead of entitlement and dependency? ... the United States respected again as the beacon of hope for the world? ... half of all non-violent inmates released from prison? ... an education system with competition through the use of vouchers so parents determine where their children go to school? On February 5, 2008, Marlin Thompson authored an online post "Benevolent Dictators Make Good Government". Examples of benevolent dictators are King David - Israel - (1010 BC -970 B.C.) in ancient times and General Douglas McArthur - Japan - (1945 -1952) in modern times. Marlin started musing about what he would do if he were absolute dictator of the United States for one year to fast track our country back to a position of primacy and prosperity. The United States has outlasted, by 35 years, the world's great civilization's average of 200 years, but we are now on the road to bondage. This book details brief, concise, easy-to-understand ideas for restoring America to economic and military prominence. If these tenants were implemented, there would be full employment, and the United States would again be the symbol of hope for the world. No politician on the horizon has the guts to propose these concepts. They're just whistling past the graveyard, but if we don't do something radical, we are doomed. We are becoming increasingly addicted to government, and politicians are the dealers of the drug named "dependency". The book is designed to make politicians and average citizens think about what could be possible.

For too long, "strong leader" has been code for "tyrant." These leaders rule their work empires--and their employees--with an iron fist, micromanaging at every turn, and answering to no one but themselves. The results are predictable: employee burnout, a lack of innovation, and decreased sales. Enter the benevolent dictator. Instead of micromanaging, they rely on trust. Instead of shutting employees out of decision-making, they actively seek out feedback. The benevolent dictator is a servant-leader first and foremost, empowering their employees to think strategically, communicate honestly, and do whatever it takes to satisfy the customer. The benevolent dictator is not afraid to flex their power if need be, but it's never their first option. In The Benevolent Dictator, Justin Hamrick, DSL (Doctor of Strategic Leadership), outlines the strategies and steps any leader at any level can take to become more enlightened and gain long-term loyalty from their followers along the way. The Benevolent Dictator will show you how to motivate and manage those under you without resorting to tyrannical tactics, ultimately leading to a more satisfied staff and happier customers. Whether you work in middle management or the C-Suite, for a Fortune 500 or a mom-and-pop, The Benevolent Dictator can help bring out your very best inner dictator.

A devastatingly original look at the world's worst dictators, through the eyes of their personal chefs, by award-winning Polish author Witold Szablowski. What is it like to cook for the most dangerous men in the world? In this darkly funny and fascinating book, Witold Szablowski travels across four continents in search of the personal chefs of five dictators. From the savannahs of Kenya to the faded glamour of Havana, and the bombed-out streets of Baghdad, Szablowski finds the men and women who cooked fish soup for Saddam Hussein, roasted goat for Idi Amin and chopped papaya salad for Pol Pot. He reveals the strangeness of a job where a single culinary mistake could be fatal, but a well-seasoned dish could change your life. And in doing so, he lifts the veil on what life is like at the very heart of power.
