      Donald Trumps Rückkehr an die Macht | Deutsche Ausgabe von »All or Nothing«

      TRIUMPH DES CHAOS: WARUM DONALD TRUMPS WAHLSIEG UNVERMEIDBAR WAR – UND WAS ER FÜR DIE WELT BEDEUTET »Starautor Michael Wolff hat wieder eine Art Sachbuchthriller über Donald Trump geschrieben.« Matthias Kolb, Süddeutsche Zeitung »Das Buch ist unbestreitbar fesselnd – eine wahre Ausbeute an Schleim, Kriecherei und Widerwärtigkeiten, die die Geschichte von Trump 2.0 erzählt.« Nicolas Niarchos, The New York Times »Eine einzigartige und eindringliche Diagnose des Charakters und des Führungsstils des Präsidenten.« Publishers Weekly Donald Trumps zweite US-Präsidentschaft ist eines der größten politischen Comebacks aller Zeiten und erschüttert die Welt. Das beweist schon der Weg, auf dem er zurück ins Weiße Haus gelangt ist. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Michael Wolff hat Trump dabei so eng begleitet wie niemand anderes: Wir dringen in die Kitschwelt von Mar-a-Lago ein, sitzen in unterkühlten Gerichtssälen und im Wohnzimmer des Trump Tower in New York; wir beobachten den US-Präsidenten bei seinen Ausrastern, Geistesblitzen und täglich vierstündigen Golfrunden; wir lernen seine schillernde Entourage kennen, die jetzt auf einflussreichen Posten in Washington sitzt. Schon bald offenbart sich eine gespaltene Realität: Einerseits steckt Trump in einem tiefen Sumpf aus juristischen Untersuchungen, Anklagen und Verfahren, andererseits unterstützt ihn seine Partei bedingungslos, während die Umfragewerte steigen und die Opposition schwächelt. Aber genau das ist der unheimliche Grund für Trumps Erfolg: Auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Tragödie und Farce zeichnet Wolff das erschütternde Porträt eines Mannes, dessen Verhalten so unkontrolliert und erratisch ist, dass es alle Regeln des politischen Lebens außer Kraft setzt. So ist »Alles oder Nichts« nicht weniger als das eindringliche Zeugnis der Dämonen, des Unfriedens und der Anarchie im Amerika unter Donald Trump . Wolffs Buch ist ein investigativer Politthriller , der in die Abgründe des Trumpuniversums blickt – und liefert damit einen Schlüssel zum Verständnis jener Gesellschaft, die Trump hervorgebracht hat .

      THE BOOK THAT BROUGHT DOWN RUPERT MURDOCHMeet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in America. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic Trump presidency - Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide - the journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable. Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old billionaire - concerned about his legacy, but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious children, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put Trump back in office. While presenter Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in a man's world. As the fallout from the 2020 election and the Dominion lawsuit pummels the reputation of the network, the battling Murdoch heirs position themselves for the final act in this riveting drama.Michael Wolff's books were my foundation and port of entry for working on Succession.

      Essay on the Principles of Logic

      A Defense of Logical Monism

      Wolff's book defends the Kantian idea of a „general logic“ whose principles underlie special systems of deductive logic. It thus undermines „logical pluralism,“ which tolerates the co-existence of divergent systems of modern logic without asking for consistent common principles. Part I of Wolff’s book identifies the formal language in which the most general principles of logic must be expressed. This language turns out to be a version of syllogistic language already used by Aristotle. The universal validity of logical principles, as well as the translatability of other logical languages into this language, are shown to depend only on the meanings of its logical vocabulary. Part II of the book answers the metalogical question concerning the deductive relation between general logic and special logical systems, which also have their own (less general) principles. This part identifies the rules according to which logical rules can be derived from principles. The main result of the book is that the highest principles of logic and metalogics are provided by the syllogistic, when properly understood.
