<p><b>A powerful, candid, and richly detailed memoir from an American icon, revealing what life looks like after the presidency: triumphs, tribulations, and all.</b><br/><br/>On 20th January 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics - eight of them as President of the United States - Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he'd learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world.<br/><br/><i>Citizen </i>is Clinton's front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet <i>Citizen</i> is more than a presidential memoir. These pages capture Clinton in a rare and unforgettable light: not only as celebrated former president and foundation leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and husband. He shares his support for Hillary Clinton during her tenure as senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, and openly details the frustration and pain of the 2016 election.<br/><br/>With clarity and compassion, President Clinton also weighs in on the unprecedented challenges brought on by a global pandemic, ongoing inequality, a steadily warming planet, and authoritarian forces dedicated to weakening democracy. In this landmark publication, the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling <i>My Life,</i> Clinton pens a clear-sighted account of American democracy on a global stage, offering a frank reflection on the past and, with it, a fearless embrace of our future. <i>Citizen</i> is a testament to one man's unwavering commitment to family and nation, a self-portrait of equal parts eloquence, insight, and candor.</p>

<p>Sverige uppfattades länge som ett samhälle präglat av jämlikhet, social sammanhållning och en ambitiös välfärdspolitik. Med sin självständiga utrikespolitik stod man utanför stormaktskonflikterna. På senare år har gängkriminalitet och skjutningar fått stor uppmärksamhet i medierna, ett högerpopulistiskt parti har blivit en del av regeringsunderlaget och vi har avslutat 200 år av alliansfrihet genom att bli medlemmar av Nato. Hur har det förändrat bilden av vårt land och oss själva?<br/><br/>I denna antologi diskuterar ett antal skribenter Sverigebilden förr och nu, både innanför och utanför landets gränser. Svante Nordin skriver om Sverige och Luther, Elisabeth Braw om utlandssvenskarnas betydelse, Mikael ­ Wiberg om teknikundret, Fraser Nelson om gängbrottsligheten och Sofia Bard om Sveriges mjuka makt. Per Enerud, Anna von Bayern och Nathan Shachar tar upp Sverigebilden i Ryssland, Tyskland och Spanien och Richard Swartz kritiserar det svenska språkets förfall.</p>

<p>Från det romerska torget till digitala valutor hur har marknaden utvecklats under historiens gång och hur kan den komma att se ut i framtiden? Denna antologi gör en djupdykning i marknadsutvecklingen och tittar närmare på marknaders avgörande roll i att utforma samtiden men tar också upp den brännande frågan om hur vi ska navigera fram till en hållbar framtid. </p><p>I tankeväckande essäer skrivna av internationella forskare, politiker och sakkunniga utforskas marknadens dynamik under tre kritiska faser: i går, i dag och i morgon. Med utgångspunkt i det antika Greklands torg och i det medeltida Europas marknader undersöker författarna hur tekniska framsteg, konsumentbeteende och geopolitisk strategi till exempel den politik som utövades under Reagan-eran har format nutida marknader. Slutligen tar boken upp de utmaningar för stabiliteten på marknaden som utgörs av till exempel auktoritära stater och AI.</p>

<b>Travel back in time with this era-defining book.</b><br/><br/>Start with the exuberance of graffiti, breakdancing and boom boxes on the subway, the beeps and bloops of new electronic game consoles, and Jane Fonda's pastel leotards and legwarmers. Skip forward from the first space shuttle to the first episode of The Simpsons, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Gordon Gekko, from shoulder pads to smiley faces. Witness the establishment of an assertive new gay culture and club scene, the unrivalled global gathering of the Live Aid concerts, and the equally strident fight against apartheid. Listen to the reverberation of cultural decibels rising across the globe and shaking society's foundations, from Madrid's La Movida to the Soviet Union's Perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall.<br/><br/><b>Welcome to the 1980s.</b>
