Leather-bound books "Crisis and Power" by M. Khazin, S. Shcheglov, 2 volumes

In the new expanded edition of “Staircases to Heaven” Mikhail Khazin and Sergey Shcheglov present the general theory of Power and talk in detail about all stages of a power career – from an ordinary employee of a corporation to a high-ranking representative of the world elite. What rule of Power was violated by Steve Jobs, who was fired from all positions at his own Apple company in 1984? What enemy brought the “genius of the Carpathians”, the all-powerful dictator of Romania Nicolae Ceausescu, to the execution? Why did the generals start the military coup of 1958 in France, and as a result the power went to the long-retired De Gaulle? How many years did it take a real man of Power to go from a beggar on the porch to the Emperor of Byzantium, and how did he manage it? Why is political uncertainty the best time for an aspiring careerist? About this and much more – in the book “Crisis and Power. Volume I. Stairway to Heaven". 2nd edition, expanded and corrected.

There are two answers to questions of Power – the well-known and the correct one. Any representative of the elite is interested in keeping the structure of his group and its true goals secret. But in addition to internal connections, there are also public actions committed by members of groups during the struggle for certain resources. Using the theory of Power outlined in Stairway to Heaven, Mikhail Khazin and Sergey Shcheglov analyze large-scale historical and political events to show how many collective interests, motives and problems are hidden behind the “facts” known to everyone. What did IMF Director Strauss-Kahn pay for? Could Stalin have lost the struggle for power? Who is really behind Kennedy's death and why did absolutely everyone, even his supporters, support the official version of the lone assassin? Why did Roosevelt, who prolonged the Great Depression, become the only president in the history of the United States elected to a third term, and Nixon, who brought the American economy out of crisis, the only president prematurely removed from power? About this and much more – in the book “Crisis and Power. Volume II. People of Power.”
