Darryl Cunningham Bücher

Börsencrash, Finanzkrise und Bad Banks. Als Antwort darauf greift der britische Cartoonzeichner Darryl Cunningham zum Stift und erzählt die Geschehnisse seit dem Platzen der amerikanischen Immobilienblase in seiner Graphic Novel so rasant, bunt und pointiert, dass man die Absurditäten des globalen Kapitalismus wirklich versteht. Dabei dringt er zum Kern neoliberaler Politik vor: der Selbstsucht und Gier. In dramatischen Szenen lässt Cunningham Alan Greenspan, Rick Rubin und andere Anhänger des Finanzkapitalismus die globale Ökonomie noch einmal an den Rand des Abgrunds führen und zeigt, wie die Jünger des Neoliberalismus die Finanzpolitik noch heute bestimmen. Es ist höchste Zeit zu handeln!

From schoolyard thug to Russian president: Putin’s rise to power comes under the microscope Darryl Cunningham (Billionaires) returns with the riveting life story of Vladimir Putin, Russia’s infamous autocrat. He traces Putin’s development from schoolyard thug in Soviet-era Leningrad, to KGB officer, to corrupt commodities dealer, all the way to his presidency and beyond. In this educational and frank biography, Putin’s journey is characterized by shifting loyalties, brutal treatment of detractors, and lawless financial dealings. Despite all of this, Putin has retained public support and tremendous importance in Russian society, due to his ever-tightening control over the media and harsh muzzling of critics. Born in 1952, Putin grew up idealizing the KGB, and he became a member of its ranks by early adulthood. Cunningham posits that the speed with which Putin advanced politically was a reflection of the KGB’s need to cement their control of the Russian political system after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since Boris Yeltsin appointed him to the presidency in 2000, Putin has annexed Crimea, rolled back democratic reforms, and led a life of luxury, all the while fostering a cult of personality. In Putin's Russia, Cunningham situates the contentious leader in an analytical framework that is at times hilarious and always compelling.

A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Cunningham's essays explode the lies, hoaxes and scams of popular science, debunking media myths and decoding some of today's most fiercely-debated issues.
