Brett Christophers styles this as ‘rentier capitalism’, in which ownership of key types of scarce assets - such as land, intellectual property, natural resources, or digital platforms - is all-important and dominated by a few unfathomably wealthy companies and individuals: rentiers. If a small elite owns today’s economy, everybody else foots the bill. Nowhere is this divergence starker, Christophers shows, than in the United Kingdom, where the prototypical ills of rentier capitalism - vast inequalities combined with entrenched economic stagnation - are on full display and have led the country inexorably to the precipice of Brexit. With profound lessons for other countries subject to rentier dominance, Christophers’ examination of the UK case is indispensable to those wanting not just to understand this insidious economic phenomenon but to overcome it. Frequently invoked but never previously analysed and illuminated in all its depth and variety, rentier capitalism is here laid bare for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"c-product-reviews\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Direct Verso Web","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43222492610760,"sku":"BKVD-00019-140224-PB","price":85.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiOnlineTemplate-48_66f415af-6527-4361-9323-e71e0768e8f4.png?v=1721108268"},{"product_id":"svara-13","title":"SVARA Isu 13 | Setelah Reformasi Tak Ada Lagi","description":"","brand":"Pelita Tenggara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43224478482632,"sku":"MGSV-000013-150224-PB","price":25.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/13.png?v=1760846685"},{"product_id":"metapolitics-alain-badiou","title":"Metapolitics","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMetapolitics argues that one of the main tasks of contemporary thought is to abolish the idea that politics is merely an object for philosophical reflection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadiou indicts this approach, which reduces politics to a matter of opinion, thus eliminating any of its truly radical and emancipatory possibilities.

He demands that the question of a possible “political truth” be separated from any notion of consensus or public opinion, and that political action be rethought in terms of the complex process that binds discussion to decision. Starting from this analysis, Badiou critically examines the thought of anthropologist and political theorist Sylvain Lazarus, Jacques Ranciere’s writings on workers’ history and democratic dissensus, the role of the subject in Althusser, as well as the concept of democracy and the link between truth and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"c-product-reviews\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Direct Verso Web","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43306882695368,"sku":"BKVD-00037-140224-PB","price":98.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiOnlineTemplate-16_8dbd3032-491a-4428-80ff-7001024595c9.png?v=1721118649"},{"product_id":"tokens-rachel-odwyer","title":"Tokens: The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThe essential guide to this new landscape of NFTs, Web3, Crypto and DAOs and a warning of the political consequences of what happens when platform capitalism comes for the money in your pocket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWherever you look, money is being re-placed by tokens.

His focus, but far from his only concern, was Singapore's built environment—and its spiritual one—since the early 1960s. Architecture, he says, is politics by other means. As Singapore moved further into what Tay describes as “ruthless pragmatism”, the cost of his critical posture became more clear.

Istilah-istilah ini diterokai dan diperdalam melalui pemerhatian tajam Shariati terhadap perilaku bangsanya, terutamanya golongan elit dan agamawan yang aktif mengawal naratif kebudayaan Iran ketika itu. Tidak sedikit masalah-masalah yang menimpa umat manusia hari ini akibat daripada tindak-tanduk orang-orang “bodoh” di pundak kekuasaan.

Gejala inilah yang akhirnya merencatkan agenda pembangunan negara sekaligus membantutkan proses pembebasan masyarakat dari belenggu-belenggu yang mengikat mereka. Pemerhatian Syed Hussein Alatas ini sebenarnya berakar daripada tradisi panjang pemikir-pemikir masyarakat dunia yang berusaha melawan agenda pembodohan yang dipaksakan terhadap masyarakatnya.

Pemimpin-pemimpin itu sendiri tidak semestinya pembodoh, tetapi masyarakatlah yang dijadikan bodoh. Faham kekeldaian telah dipelopori oleh Ali Shariati. Menurut beliau, proses pengeldaian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh sesetengah pemimpin memang memperbodoh masyarakat, walaupun pemimpin-pemimpin itu sendiri tidak seumpama keldai dan sebenarnya mampu mengukuhkan kuasa mereka dengan menghancurkan kesedaran orang ramai terhadap isu-isu semasa.

Menerusi buku ini, Asghar menelusuri bagaimana Islam menggantikan amalan jahiliah seperti riba dengan membina institusi yang adil seperti zakat. Beliau mengusulkan bahawa jika difahami dengan sosiologi moden, institusi zakat wajar ditemani institusi pelengkapnya agar sistem ekonomi yang adil dapat dibina. Pelengkap ini termasuklah pemilikan awam ke atas punca pengeluaran, kiblat sosial dalam cukai ke atas kapital dan golongan maha kaya, serta dasar-dasar kebajikan sosial yang menyelamatkan orang miskin dari riba.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lestari Hikmah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43848395194568,"sku":"LESTARI-005-210624-PB","price":20.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiOnlineTemplate_9e37e905-ce31-44f5-8381-c740c2deb5be.png?v=1726457382"},{"product_id":"amusing-ourselves-to-death","title":"Amusing Ourselves to Death","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWhat happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment?
