In parallel with the internationalization of the economy and modern communication systems, we are seeing the development of new regimes of mobility and immobility that are characterized by ever-greater internal conflicts. The rapid development of sophisticated communication technology is actually facilitating a further increase in physical mobility, motorized and otherwise. Increased remote contact is in fact stimulating the desire for physical meetings. This cahier investigates how the various segments of this new mobility regime operate. To what extent can this regime still be guided or influenced? Are there options for a ''radical redesign''? Is the dynamism ultimately determined by economics alone? Is a ''crash'' the necessary end stage of the current mobility regime?

Em Os limites do capital, Harvey une investigação sobre as dinâmicas espaciais do processo de urbanização, interpretação ambiciosa do legado de Marx e sensibilidade aguda para reestruturação econômica em curso. Na nova edição, o autor atualiza sua releitura da crítica da economia política de Marx, com uma discussão substancial em torno da conjuntura política global e da convulsão nos mercados mundiais hoje. Os limites do capital constitui "leitura obrigatória para aqueles que buscam uma compreensão menos superficial da etapa avançada do capitalismo hoje em curso", afirma Paulani. A obra é considerada peça fundamental para compreender o instigante pensamento de Harvey, com reflexões acerca de alguns de seus mais importantes conceitos como "ajuste espacial" e "acumulação por despossessão". "A formação de geógrafo fez com que Harvey voltasse sua atenção não apenas para as questões do tempo, cruciais quando se entende que o capital é um movimento (o movimento de valorização), mas também para as questões do espaço, às quais os economistas são, em geral, cegos. Em síntese, Harvey iniciou, ainda no começo dos anos 1980, a investigação sobre como se articulam e como funcionam conjuntamente os diferentes modos de apropriação e de exploração, o sistema financeiro, o comportamento rentista e os desenvolvimentos espaciais desiguais numa dinâmica que, hoje, é o coração do processo de acumulação", diz Paulani.

A New York Times Bestseller Frank Sinatra desperately wanted to be part of John F. Kennedy’s gang. He had his own famed “Rat Pack,” made up of hard drinking, womanizing individuals like himself—guys like Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Peter Lawford—but the guy “Ol’ Blue Eyes” really wanted to hang with was Lawford’s brother-in-law, the real chairman of the board, John F. Kennedy. In Sinatra and the Jack Pack, Michael Sheridan delves deep into the acclaimed singer’s relationship with the former president. He shares how Sinatra emerged from a working class Italian family and carved out a unique place for himself in American culture, and how Kennedy, also of immigrant stock, came from a privileged background of which the young Frank could only have dreamed. By the time the men met in the 1950s, both were thriving—and both liked the good life. They bonded over their mutual ability to attract beautiful women, male admirers, and adoring acolytes. They also shared a scandalous secret: each had dubious relationships with the mafia. It had promoted Frank’s career and helped Kennedy buy votes. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had, over two decades, compiled detailed and damning dossiers on their activities. From all accounts the friendship thrived. Then, suddenly, in March 1962, Frank was abruptly ejected from JFK’s gang. This unique volume tells why. It will release shortly after a television documentary inspired by the book airs, is filled with a beloved cast of characters, and is the compelling, untold story of a tumultuous relationship between two American icons.
