Ett Överlagt Mord - Min Mormor Jelenas Kärleksliv
En roman om kärlek och dårskap i ett Serbien i politiskt och moraliskt förfall. Boken skildrar två kvinnoöden: 22-åriga Jelena döljer sitt ömhetsbehov och sin vilsenhet under en rå jargong och ett tufft sätt. När hon träffar Bogdan, en soldat på rehabilitering, bestämmer hon sig för att skriva en bok om sin mormor Jelena, som var inbegripen i förbjudna kärleksaffärer och känsliga ställningstaganden efter andra världskriget när kommunisterna tog makten.På ett tragikomiskt sätt skildras två epoker i ex-Jugoslaviens historia.»Kan bli en klassiker. Den har en sällsynt kraft och sjuder av liv.« Skånska Dagbladet

Crack-Up Capitalism
A Fortune best nonfiction book of 2023 In a revelatory dispatch from the frontier of capitalist extremism, an acclaimed historian of ideas shows how free marketeers are realizing their ultimate goal: an end to nation-states and the constraints of democracy. Look at a map of the world and you'll see a colorful checkerboard of nation-states. But this is not where power actually resides. Over the last decade, globalization has shattered the map into different legal spaces: free ports, tax havens, special economic zones. With the new spaces, ultracapitalists have started to believe that it is possible to escape the bonds of democratic government and oversight altogether. Crack-Up Capitalism follows the most notorious radical libertarians--from Milton Friedman to Peter Thiel--around the globe as they search for the perfect space for capitalism. Historian Quinn Slobodian leads us from Hong Kong in the 1970s to South Africa in the late days of apartheid, from the neo-Confederate South to the
