Divide and Deal

Why are democracies so unequal? Despite the widespread expectation that democracy, via expansion of the franchise, would lead to redistribution in favor of the masses, in reality majorities regularly lose out in democracies. Taking a broad view of inequality as encompassing the distribution of wealth, risk, status, and well-being, this volume explores how institutions, individuals, and coalitions contribute to the often surprising twists and turns of distributive politics.The contributors hail...

The Obama Syndrome

Tariq Ali

The Obama Syndrome

A prescient dissection of Obama’s overseas escalation and domestic retreat, fully updated. Written early in 2010 and initially published in September 2010, The Obama Syndrome predicted the Obama administration’s historic midterm defeat. But unlike myriad commentators who have since pinned responsibility for that Democratic Party collapse on the “reform” president’s lack of firm resolve, Ali’s critique located the problem in Obama’s notion of reform itself. Barack Obama campaigned for the...

Humanitarian Imperialism

Jean Bricmont

Humanitarian Imperialism

Since the end of the Cold War, the idea of human rights has been made into a justification for intervention by the world's leading economic and military powers—above all, the United States—in countries that are vulnerable to their attacks. The criteria for such intervention have become more arbitrary and self-serving, and their form more destructive, from Yugoslavia to Afghanistan to Iraq. Until the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the large parts of the left was often complicit...

God is a Conservative

Kenneth J. Heineman

God is a Conservative

From Billy Graham and Ronald Regan to Newt Gingrich and William Bennett, God is a Conservative provides an important look at the role of religion in conservative politics in modern America. Kenneth J. Heineman reveals the profoundly religious nature of contemporary conservatism, offering an intriguing look at the social history of moral politics over the last three decades, and the still tremulous aftershocks of the New Deal. With a new Preface that examines the Bush presidency, including a...

Код адсутнасці

Гэтая кніга нечакана мне самому адасобілася з цыклу лекцыяў “Асновы беларускай ментальнасці”, падрыхтаванага для Беларускага калегіуму. Улёгшыся ў адукацыйную працу, я ў нейкі момант адчуў мусовую патрэбу выйсці за лекцыйны фармат і скінуць да адной купы ўсё тое думанне пра Беларусь, што вярэдзіла мне цягам доўгага часу. Зрэшты, у гэтай эмацыйнай патрэбы была свая, уласная логіка. З XX стагоддзем скончылася і вялікая эпоха “буры і націску”, у выніку якой паўстала незалежная Беларусь. Далей...

New Pandemics, Old Politics

Alex de Waal

New Pandemics, Old Politics

New Pandemics, Old Politics explores how the modern world adopted a martial script to deal with epidemic disease threats, and how this has failed – repeatedly. Europe first declared ‘war’ on cholera in the 19th century. It didn’t defeat the disease but it served purposes of state and empire. In 1918, influenza emerged from a real war and swept the world unchecked by either policy or medicine. Forty years ago, AIDS challenged the confidence of medical science. AIDS is still with us, but we have...

Kes kaotas Venemaa? Kuidas maailm astus uude külma sõtta

Nõukogude Liidu lagunemisega sai läbi ka külm sõda, Venemaal algasid reformid ning tulevikku ennustati demokraatlike riikide sõbraliku kooseksisteerimisena. Täna on Lääne ja Venemaa vahel taas terav vastasseis, Venemaa on okupeerinud alasid Ukrainas, Gruusias ning räägitakse küberrünnakutest ja valimiste mõjutamisest. Unistus demokraatlikust ja usaldusväärsest partnerriigist Venemaast ei saanud täituma. See raamat küsib, miks see nii on. Kes lasi selle võimaluse käest? Kes kaotas Venemaa?Raamatu...

The Republic (Translated by Benjamin Jowett with an Introduction by Alexander Kerr)

Plato’s most famous work and one of the most important books ever written on the subject of philosophy and political theory, “The Republic” is a fictional dialogue between Socrates and other various Athenians and foreigners which examines the meaning of justice. It is primarily from the writings of Plato that Socrates’s ideas are passed down to us. Written around 380 BC, the work is an important contribution to the age old question of how to best structure a society in a just way. The influence...

Global Obscenities

Global Obscenities

The New York Times devotes the cover of its magazine to America's declining interest in politics and its obsession with money, finance, and the markets. Bill Gates builds a $50 million mansion while food pantries and homeless shelters overflow with the desperate. The explosive expansion of media and cyber conglomerates creates dreamworlds while the ecology of our actual world is jeopardized. Public space and public democracy withers, as is evidenced by the fact that the closest facsimile of...

The Federalist Papers (with Introductions by Edward Gaylord Bourne and Goldwin Smith)

Following the signing of the Declaration of Independence there was a vigorous debate in the American colonies on the form of government that should be then established. A Constitutional Convention was convened between May 25th and September 17th, 1787. A principal point in the debate at the convention was as to how much power should be granted to the federal government versus the states. In response to what would come out of this convention a number of “anti-federalist” essays began to...

A Question of Order

A Question of Order

What happens when a democratically elected leader evolves into an authoritarian ruler, limiting press freedom, civil liberties, and religious and ethnic tolerance? India and Turkey are two of the world's biggest democracies –multi-ethnic nations that rose from their imperial past to be founded on the values of modernity. They have fair elections, open markets, and freedom of religion. Yet this is an account of how the charismatic strongmen Narendra Modi, in India, and Recep Tyyip Erdogan,...

Trotsky

Leon Trotsky was the most important contributor to the development of revolutionary Marxism this century, after Lenin. As exiled militant or Soviet statesman, party organizer or public orator, as political analyst, soldier or commentator on cultural trends, he was centrally involved in the world-historic upheavals of his time and foremost among the interpreters of their significance for socialism. Yet the fate of his achievement was dramatically discrepant from Lenin's. At the latter's...

Set the Night on Fire

Mike Davis

Set the Night on Fire

Histories of the US sixties invariably focus on New York City, but Los Angeles was an epicenter of that decade’s political and social earthquake. L.A. was a launchpad for Black Power—where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation—and home to the Chicano walkouts and Moratorium, as well as birthplace of ‘Asian America’ as a political identity, base of the antiwar movement, and of course, centre of California counterculture. Mike Davis and Jon...

Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes

Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler...

Jüri Vilms

Kahe ilma vahel

Jüri Vilms oli 1917.a. populaarseim kuju. Suurepärane kõneleja ja väsimatu ajakirjanik selle sõna paremas mõttes; täis noorustuld ja hoogu, kuid küllalt tasakaalukas; kui inimene – elurõõmus ja armastusväärne, pikakasvuline ja imposantne – niisugune püsib ta mälestustes ja on läinud ajalukku. Raamatusse on kogutud selle populaarse kuju trükivalgust näinud protestikirjad, seaduste seletamised ja muud artiklid.
