The Reign of AntiLogos
The Reign of AntiLogos
E. Michael Jones presents a sweeping historical and philosophical critique of modernity through the lens of “Logos”—the concept of divine reason and order. The book argues that Western civilization’s rejection of Logos has led to cultural decay, moral relativism, and societal fragmentation. With provocative insight, Jones traces this rebellion across literature, politics, and religion, aiming to reveal the spiritual roots of the modern crisis and call for a return to truth grounded in reason and faith.

The Jewish Century
The Jewish Century
Yuri Slezkine’s The Jewish Century offers a bold and sweeping reinterpretation of Jewish history in the 20th century, particularly within the Soviet Union. Blending cultural analysis with personal memoir and political history, Slezkine portrays Jews as archetypal “Mercurians”—urban, literate, and mobile—whose rise to prominence in modern societies reflects broader global transformations. Deeply researched and highly original, the book explores identity, revolution, and assimilation in an age of upheaval, sparking widespread discussion and debate.
Barren Metal
Barren Metal
In this ambitious and controversial work, E. Michael Jones reinterprets the history of capitalism through the moral lens of Catholic social teaching, framing it as a centuries-long struggle between productive labor and exploitative usury. Barren Metal traverses economic theory, historical events, and theological debates, making a case that modern finance has strayed far from its ethical roots. Jones draws on figures from Adam Smith to Marx, weaving a narrative that challenges conventional economic thought and calls for a re-evaluation of money, work, and justice.
