Liberalism at Large

Alexander Zevin

Liberalism at Large

The path-breaking history of modern liberalism told through the pages of one of its most zealous supporters. Since 1843, the Economist has been the single most devoted and influential champion of liberalism anywhere in the world. But what exactly is liberalism, and how has the liberal message evolved? Liberalism at Large presents a history of liberalism on the move, confronting the challenges that classical doctrine left unresolved: the rise of democracy, the expansion of empire, the...

In the Tracks of Historical Materialism

How Marxist thought evolved in the seventies and early eighties. What have been the major changes in the intellectual landscape of the left since the mid seventies? Have they on balance represented an emancipation or a retreat for socialist culture as a whole? In the Tracks of Historical Materialism looks at some of the paradoxes in the evolution of Marxist thought in this period. It starts by considering the remarkable and variegated growth of historical materialism in the Anglo-American...

The Retreat from Class

Ellen Meiksins Wood

The Retreat from Class

Exploring the connections between class, ideology and politics. In this classic study, which won the Isaac Deutscher Memorial Prize, Ellen Wood provides a critical survey of influential trends in “post-Marxist” theory. Challenging their dissociation of politics from class, she elaborates her own original conception of the complex relations between class, ideology and politics. In the process, Wood explores the links between socialism and democracy and reinterprets the relationship between...

The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party

Seventy-five years ago, Henry Wallace, then the vice president of the United States, mounted a campaign about the “Danger of American Fascism.” As fighting in the European and Japanese theatres drew to a close, Wallace warned that the country might win the war and lose the peace; that the fascist threat the United States. was battling abroad had a terrifying domestic variant, growing rapidly in power: wealthy corporatists and their allies in the media. Wallace predicted that if the New Deal...

The Management of Savagery

THE MANAGEMENT OF SAVAGERY tells the story of the parallel rise of international jihadism and Western ultra-nationalism. Since Washington's secret funding of the Mujahideen following the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 1970s, America has supported extremists with money and hardware, including enemies such as Bin Laden. The Pentagon's willingness to make alliances abroad have seen the war coming home with inevitable consequences: by funding, training, and arming jihadist elements...

Virtue and Terror

Robespierre Maximilien

Virtue and Terror

Robespierre’s justification of the Terror in the French Revolution. Robespierre's defense of the French Revolution remains one of the most powerful and unnerving justifications for political violence ever written, and has extraordinary resonance in a world obsessed with terrorism and appalled by the language of its proponents. Yet today, the French Revolution is celebrated as the event which gave birth to a nation built on the principles of enlightenment. So how should a contemporary...

Voinovich, by drawing on the combined strengths of the public and private sectors, took Cleveland from financial default to becoming “America’s Comeback City,” and he later used the best...

Propelled - How Boredom, Frustration, and Anticipation Lead Us to the Good Life (Unabridged)

Many of our endeavors-be it personal or communal, technological or artistic-aim at eradicating all traces of dissatisfaction from our daily lives. They seek to cure us of our discontent in order to deliver us a fuller and flourishing existence. But what if ubiquitous pleasure and instant fulfillment make our lives worse, not better? In Propelled, Andreas Elpidorou makes a lively case for the value of discontent and illustrates how boredom, frustration, and anticipation are good for us. Weaving...

Underdogma - How America's Enemies Use Our Love for the Underdog to Trash American Power (Unabridged)

Underdogma is a new 'idea book' that shows how our love/hate relationship with power – and those who have power – shape how we look at the world. For many people, those who have less power (underdogs) can do no wrong – even when we do wrong, and those who have more power can do no right – even when they do right. Michael Prell gave this belief system a name – Underdogma – and he reveals how Underdogma is affecting your life right now – and how it threatens America's superpower...

Karl Marx

The Communist Manifesto (Unabridged)

The Communist Manifestois, perhaps surprisingly, a most engaging and accessible work, containing even the odd shaft of humour in this translation by Samuel Moore for the 1888 English edition. It is, of course, an essential introduction to the thoughts and theories of Karl Marx and his collaborator and editor Friedrich Engels and therefore to the development of communism. This brief but iconoclastic work, essentially a pamphlet, covers the history of the bourgeoisie, aspects of 'class...

Ball of Collusion - The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency (Unabridged)

Despite Clinton's commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an «insurance policy» against a Trump presidency. Thus was born the collusion narrative, built on an anonymously sourced «dossier,» secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Although acknowledged to be «salacious and unverified» at the FBI's highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against...

The Democracy Fix - How to Win the Fight for Fair Rules, Fair Courts, and Fair Elections (Unabridged)

Despite representing the beliefs of a minority of the American public on many issues, conservatives are in power not just in Washington, DC, but also in state capitals and courtrooms across the country. They got there because, while progressives fought to death over the nuances of policy and to bring attention to specific issues, conservatives focused on simply gaining power by gaming our democracy. They understood that policy follows power, not the other way around. Now, in a sensational new...

DA of nie?

Staan die DA hoegenaamd 'n kans by die stembus? Of sal verkiesings in Suid-Afrika bloot 'n ras-sensus bly? Is swart kiesers se ongemak met die Demokratiese Alliansie 'n kwessie van beleid – of van toon? Eusebius McKaiser is bekend daarvoor dat hy geen doekies omdraai nie. In hierdie vermaaklike, ietwat voor-op-die-wa en soms tong-in-die-kies boek, bekyk hy ons amptelike opposisie van naderby. "Moenie vir hom suurstof gee nie. Hy jaag omstredenheid na. Narsissisme...
