PREMIO PAIDÓS 2026

UN ENSAYO LÚCIDO SOBRE LOS MALESTARES QUE ATRAVIESAN NUESTRAS DEMOCRACIAS Y UNA INVITACIÓN URGENTE A RECONSTRUIR LA CONFIANZA, EL DIÁLOGO Y EL FUTURO COMÚN.

Los malestares sociales que se han ido acumulando durante décadas están cristalizando hoy en un descontento profundo que pone en cuestión los propios fundamentos de la convivencia democrática, la confianza en las instituciones y la idea de futuro. En este contexto, la pregunta se impone: ¿qué podemos hacer?

En Contra el descontento, Cristina Monge, socióloga, profesora universitaria y una de las analistas más influyentes del panorama político español, ofrece una lectura crítica y, al final, esperanzadora de este malestar colectivo. Con un tono claro y sin renunciar a la profundidad analítica, recorre los principales desafíos del siglo XXI: la precariedad, la soledad digital, la crisis ecológica y la desafección de la ciudadanía hacia las instituciones y sus representantes. A través de este recorrido, traza la radiografía de una sociedad cansada, atemorizada e incapaz de imaginar otros caminos.

Lejos del pesimismo o la nostalgia, este libro reivindica la necesidad de recuperar la conversación pública, defender los hechos ciertos en la era de la posverdad y reconstruir un nuevo contrato social basado en la cooperación, la justicia y la sostenibilidad mediante alianzas para crear futuros deseables. Contra el descontento es un manifiesto por una democracia más fuerte y un futuro compartido que aún están a nuestro alcance.

Ideal para los lectores de Daniel Innerarity o Byung-Chul Han.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PAIDÓS PRIZE 2026

A LUCID ESSAY ON THE TROUBLES AFFECTING OUR DEMOCRACIES AND AN URGENT CALL TO REBUILD TRUST, DIALOGUE, AND A SHARED FUTURE.

The social unrest accumulated over decades is now crystallizing into a profound discontent that questions the very foundations of democratic coexistence, trust in institutions, and the idea of the future. In this context, the question arises: what can we do?

In Contra el descontento, Cristina Monge, sociologist, university professor, and one of the most influential analysts in Spain's political landscape, offers a critical yet ultimately hopeful reading of this collective malaise. With clarity and analytical depth, she explores the major challenges of the twenty-first century: precariousness, digital loneliness, the ecological crisis, and citizens' disaffection toward institutions and their representatives. Through this journey, she portrays a society that is weary, fearful, and unable to imagine alternative paths.

Far from pessimism or nostalgia, this book defends the need to recover public conversation, uphold facts in the era of post-truth, and rebuild a new social contract based on cooperation, justice, and sustainability through alliances to create desirable futures. Contra el descontento is a manifesto for a stronger democracy and a shared future that is still within our reach.

Ideal for readers of Daniel Innerarity or Byung-Chul Han.

Great suit, but size up
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This set comes with a jacket, pants, extra buttons, and a bow tie with an easy clip to remove it. The suit itself is really nice and I love the pattern, however, I thought I purchased a XXL, but seemed to have ordered a L instead. Not quite sure how that happened, but suffice to say, he could not fit the suit. He is normally an L in pants, so based on the fit, we would have needed to size up anyways. He couldn't fit his leg in the pants or his arm in the jacket. I automatically size up on items like this because you can take clothes in, but can't take them out if there is not enough cloth. The suit pants are not lined, but you can see that they did leave room for the legs to be let out. Perhaps if we have the pants let out, he would be able to wear the pants. The jacket is fully lined and it comes with two inside pockets, one can be buttoned. I cannot tell if the jacket has room for alterations, but I might have him fitted for it just to see. It comes with a slit on the back of the jacket, so it has that going for it from a quality standpoint. It does come folded so you have iron or dry clean it before wearing. The quality is good for the most part. There are some threads coming out of the bow tie, but that's all I seen that is less the good. I'm giving it four star based solo on it's look and feel. Of course, I can't comment on the fit. For around $80, I definitely think it's worth checking out for a school semi-formal or fancy dinner out. It might be a little lightweight for a higher end event. Did I say I love the pattern?

Stylish look and great value for special occasions
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
This suit looks really good in person. The pattern adds a nice touch that makes it stand out without looking too flashy. It is a great option for events like weddings, parties, or prom where you want something a bit different from a basic suit. The fit is slim and modern, giving a clean and sharp look when worn. It feels comfortable enough for a few hours, and the overall shape looks more tailored than expected for the price. The jacket sits well, and the pants match nicely to complete the set. The material is lightweight and decent for occasional use. It does not feel like a premium suit, but it looks good and photographs well, which is what matters for events. The bow tie included is a nice extra and helps complete the outfit without needing to buy more pieces. It may need a quick steam or ironing out of the package to look its best. Also, checking the size chart is important to get the right fit. For the price, this is a very good value. You get a full outfit that looks stylish and put together without spending too much. Great option if you need something affordable for special occasions.

Stylish Statement Suit for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery, Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery
I really like the black with gold embroidery on this suit - it really will make you stand out. The gold does have a slight green tint to it in certain lighting, but overall I like the unique design and think it looks great. The pants have some flexibility, which made them more comfortable than I expected. I got a Medium - and im usually a 32W. I could see it fitting a 30W or34W too. It arrived in great shape and was not wrinkled at all, though i'm likely going to have to hem the pants 1-2 inches. The pants are neutral and could be worn with other black jackets. I am usually a size 42 bust in jackets, and while the size chart says medium is a 44 bust, i think this fits me like a glove. It also came with a bow tie, which is a nice added bonus. Overall, I think this is a great deal for the price and a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile standout suit for a formal event or a costume party.
