the political titles that will dominate the bookstores for 2025

In Argentina it has long since ceased to be a novelty: the political discussion is present in the bank of the bank, the supermarket row or public transport. From the publication of Sincerely (2019) by Cristina Kirchner until First time (2021), by Mauricio Macri, the books of and about politicians occupy a prominent place at the news tables. The same president, Javier Milei – the same author of several titles and receiver, also, of complaints of plagiarism – stars in several works that analyze their arrival to power and a management that unworthy and captive in equal parts.

Since January, authors, journalists and politicians have been publishing from biographies to essays On current topics. The sense of opportunity cannot be reproached, but the resulting fan speaks of an extended interest of society and readers for life in common.

One of the outstanding novelties of this 2025 in matters of analysis is Milei political laboratory. The first year in the Rivadavia armchairfrom Liliana de Riz. Published by Planet, the doctor in Sociology for the École des Hautes Études in Social Sciences, Paris) analyzes the present Argentine going to the past and the future. He resorts to authors such as Tocqueville, Hayek, Da Empoli and Anne Applebaum and reflects on the perplexity it generated in the political class to think if we are truly in the presence of a new era or if, rather, it is a passing phenomenon.

Another critical analysis is The Milei symptomby Hernán Brienza, published by Marea. Here the journalist and political scientist tries to disassemble the common places of both defenders and detractors of the first president. “Milei embodies this hypermodernity already anticipated by Gilles Lipovetsky: a time that distils discomfort – as Éric Sadin warns – and that is manifested in bursts of resentment and symbolic violence. His proposal of hypercapitalism makes him the channel of the frustrations of a nation in crisis,” reads in La Gacetilla.

The journalist and media entrepreneur Jorge Fontevecchia He also published in March of this year a book that invites reflection and, at the same time, is a testimony of his relationship with the president. The text is based on tensions, conflicts and complaints that reached the courts. Fontevecchia vs Milei. Bitácora of the emergence of an extreme presidentpublished by Planeta, tells how first was captivated by his figure until later, with his arrival to power, he began to worry. He is currently in the middle of a litigation against the president for the crime of insults since Milei called to the communicator of “Ensobrado”, “Pautero” and “Prebendar”.

Damián Arabia, national deputy of the PRO for the City of Buenos Aires, published I don’t break my balls (Galerna), a book that from the title is glimpsed provocative and has a logic: it points to the young public. “It is a deep research that seeks to understand the concerns and values ​​of young people in the digital era. Arabia, through active listening, reveals how this generation longs for individuality and freedom, rejecting the restrictions that limit their personal growth,” explains the official synopsis.

Of a similar political sign, but embandy within La Libertad progresses, the former legal secretary of Human Capital Leila Gianni has just published her first book. Hunger militants Also by Editorial Galerna. According to the editorial. The author “exposes how poverty was transformed into a profitable business, at the expense of people’s dignity and freedom.”

The economist and former president of the Central Bank between 2004 and 2010 Martín Redrado also launched a new book. This time, co -written with lawyer José Urtubey. Your title is Federal Argentina. Territorial balance for economic development (South American). Here they expose their thesis about how true federalism, and in particular a fiscal federalism, could be the guarantee of Argentine success according to the authors.

On the other side of the crack, the Peronist leader Guillermo Moreno, of increasing presence on social networks, published Reorganization (Planet). Here summarizes his political philosophy, he draws a mea guilt about his own management as an official and calls on the leading classes in pursuit of a return to the doctrine.

Within the same movement but on the other side of the ring, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires Axel Kicillof, who is usually the target of the criticism of the former Secretary of Internal Trade, also published a book. It is Return to Keynes. Fundamentals of the General Theory of Occupation, Interest and Money (21st century editions). Represents his academic facet: he knew how to be a university professor and researcher at CONICET.

Further left of the fan we find Left Notes against resignation, meekness and conformism (South American), by Myriam Bregman. Here the former deputy and national leader of the PTS “reviews the history of the movement of recovered factories, the judgments against the genocides and the phenomenal strength of feminism to remind us why we are from the left and find there, and in other multiple fights, the dignity of accompanying and being part of the emancipation of the working class”, according to the Penguin Books website.

Also from the left, Roberto Sáenz, Marxist theorist and founding leader of the new MAS, is presenting these days the volume I of Marxism and socialist transition. The author is also a candidate for legislator on the left in the city, accompanied by Federico Winokur and Manuela Castañeira. “We present a work, which will be divided into several volumes, about the approach of Marxism to the post -capitalist societies of the twentieth century, which bureaucratized and did not fulfill their emancipatory promise.”

Finally, a rarity: the journalist, former deputy and ex -presidential, Gabriela Cerruti, published her first novel, The poison of power (South American). There he builds a plot of intrigues and mysteries with thriller pulse where he turns all his political knowledge from the inside.

Biography is another very coveted genre. Many times what most interests the reading public is to know more about opaque characters. A recent example is The monkBiography of the powerful presidential advisor Santiago Caputo written by the young journalists Maia Jastreblansky and Manu Jove by Editorial Planeta.

The investigation goes from its beginnings, in the consultant of Jaime Durán Barba, until his landing in the Casa Rosada. “Who is this political communication expert that in a very short time became part of the” iron triangle “along with the Milei brothers and became the most wanted face on the Internet? How did he knead so much power?” The authors ask.

Another journalist, Pablo de León, also inquired about the life of an old wolf of politics but perhaps not known so much of his intimacy. The prince. A political biography of Miguel Ángel Pichetto (Planet) dive under the waters of a figure that can be labeled both traitor and hero. It went from being one of the main swords within the Congress in the time of President Cristina Kirchner to accompany Mauricio Macri in the formula that competed against Alberto Fernández in 2019. It is, without a doubt, another of the most interesting books to think about politics today.

Although political readings are never missing, they are still close to being received by an always eager reading audience. Some will arrive in the coming weeks: Juan González, journalist of News and author of El Loco, unauthorized biography of Milei That it was sales success, is close to publishing his second book that expands his investigations about the president further and deepens his environment.

The forces of heaven (Planet) will arrive in May and, according to the publisher, “the documents that prove the role that Milei attributes to their dogs as political, economic and philosophical advisors are shown for the first time; and the dramatic back room of the death of the fifth clone of Conan in 2020, with which he claims to play every morning in olive trees. Argentina is not only found before the first anarcococapitalist experience of the planet but also In addition, in front of a messianic project of embodied power in a leader who believes he is predestined to eradicate the ‘malignant’ of the Earth ”.

Also in May, by the same editorial seal, it will be launched The country that owners wantof the economist and journalist Alejandro Bercovich. There it brings together prestigious specialists in different topics and throws some questions: which country does the owners of Argentina dream? What future imagine for companies, fields, machines, buildings, shopping centers, infrastructure, banks, digital platforms and natural resources they control? Do they have a productive-technological project that leads society to that promised land?

More to the left or the right, to reflect on the present or, simply, to curly over the opaque areas of public life, the editorial machinery, like political thread, seems to be far from stopping. The reader public thanks and row to stamp on his brand new exemplary the signature of his favorite politician. Around them there are still hundreds of people who discuss who to vote in the October elections. Meanwhile, we will continue reading.
