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.

Well made, minor issue was quickly resolved
Size: Large, Color: Dinos Bruto (Purple)
I purchased the Dino Bruto Dog toy for my labradoodle who is quite fond of squeaky, squawky stuffed toys and oddly enough has shown a preference for purple. I opened the package with my hound standing by waiting for his gift. I detached the tags and attempted to squeak the toy. It seemed difficult to squeak or honk. I tossed the purple Dino Bruto to my dog who excitedly chomped to squeak. The toy squawked a couple times and then just quit. My poor hound was staring up at me with that "what's up with this" look on his face. I tracked down the website for the GoDog toys, not going through the Amazon return process. I called the good people at GoDog and stated simply that my dog's favorite part of the toy failed quite quickly and I was wondering about guarantees. I was told to go to the website and file a replacement request. The replacement request required that I include a photo which I did as directed. I received an reply email within a couple hours which stated that a new toy would be sent out shortly. I am happy to report that we received a replacement toy, not the purple Dino, but a colorful wood duck. The squawker device works well and is still performing like new more than a month later. It appears that the squeaker is not those little plastic squeakers but the bigger heavy plastic bag, bladder, with what I visualize as a duck call sort of sound device. I am guessing because I haven't seen the inside of the GoDog toys. I have seen the guts of other stuffed toys which use this type of noise device. While our dog seems to enjoy the sound of the plastic bag, bladder set-up squawkers, they seem to fail quickly and I tend to avoid them because of this. The toys using this type of squawker that I have seen, use what looks like a cheap lightweight plastic bag which is not securely attached to the "voice box". Since the GoDog replacement toy is holding up so well, I am guessing GoDog uses a heavier grade plastic bladder coupled with reinforced construction. The purple Dino Bruto toy still looks new even after multiple times of our hound grabbing the purple toy, shaking it at us with his invite to give chase or play keep away. Since the squawker failed so quickly with the new toy, I figure it was just a defective item which does not reflect the general quality of toys from GoDog. One evening our neighbor was visiting while his pitbull was playing in our yard with our dog. Our patio door was open so our dog ran into the house and grabbed his purple Dino Bruto toy. He is a bit of a show-off with new toys. Our dog then went racing back into the yard, shaking his GoDog toy at the pitbull. A quick game of tug-of-war ensued. Since this is a new toy, our neighbor leaped into the game and took the toy away from the dogs. In that short time of tugging between the dogs, the toy held together and did not even pull apart at any of the seams. There were no puncture marks either. This is a game our dog has initiated before with the neighbor pitbull. Normally, the stuffed toys are ripped apart almost immediately. I was surprised and impressed with the quality of the sewing which appears to employ some sort of reinforced construction or heavier material. I plan to make more purchases from GoDog toys. The toys are a little more expensive than some stuffed dogs toys but they hold up so well I figure they are worth a few more dollars. They are great toys that hold up well and the company provides quick responses to inquiries. I consider this a winning combination.

Good quality

we’ve had many godog toys over the years and although my dog eventually rips through them I do find that they last longer than other cheap toys. Overall very well made!

Cute and fairly long lasting
Size: Large, Color: Dinos Frills (Red)
Lasted from Nov 13th, 2024-August 20th, 2025 lol very impressive. She played with it nearly daily and loved the big squeak. The squeak box was just ripped out so she probably won’t play with it anymore. Happy to order another!

He was OBSESSED!!!
Size: Large, Color: Dinos Frills (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Dinos Frills (Gray)
Our year and a half old lab was excited the moment he saw it come out of the box ! He had many toys that he tore into shreds within a day so this was his first “heavy toy “ that wasn’t easy to tear . I think he loves the design and feel of it , as he carried this thing EVERYWHERE and even to bed . Him and his sister share toys but this was his , he claimed it lol Now if it wasn’t for us telling him to stop trying to kill the Dino he could have easily tore into this thing within a couple of days . However since he started chewing gently he became obsessed with the squeaker , and used that as an alarm that he was up every morning in bed 😂 The quality of the product is actually pretty good but it’s not bullet proof, and our smart dog was able to sneakily tear a whole in the nose and some how pull out the stuffing . All in all I would definitely buy another toy from this company because they are made with quality for dogs , and lasted about three weeks longer than his average toys ! It was his favorite toy 💕
