Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking "free markets" from rhetoric to reality For three decades free-market leaders have tried to reverse longstanding Keynesian economic policies, but have only produced larger government, greater debt, and more centralized economic power. So how can we achieve a truly free-market system, especially at this historical moment when capitalism seems to be in crisis? The answer, says John C. Medaille, is to stop pretending that economics is something on the order of the physical sciences; it must be a humane science, taking into account crucial social contexts. Toward a Truly Free Market argues that any attempt to divorce economic equilibrium from economic equity will lead to an unbalanced economy—one that falls either to ruin or to ruinous government attempts to redress the balance. Medaille makes a refreshingly clear case for the economic theory—and practice—known as distributism. Unlike many of his fellow distributists, who argue primarily from moral terms, Medaille enters the economic debate on purely economic terms. Toward a Truly Free Market shows exactly how to end the bailouts, reduce government budgets, reform the tax code, fix the health-care system, and much more.

Download or read book A New Ideology written by James Nicholls and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manifesto explains the ideologies of Distributism created by James Nicholls and its unrivalled benefits over all political ideologies. Every political party has profound weakness, a weakness which is opposed by the opposite sides of a party's political position. Distributism has no weaknesses; it doesn't actually sit on any political position as it has both Socialist ideas and Nationalist ideas. Hard-working British people who read this will realise that this ideology has no opposition, except those who shouldn't be in the UK and rich people. Every political party is far from perfect. This manifesto addresses that with dozens of fresh ideas. Conservatives appease the rich, and now they're in power they will increase the already horrendous gap between the wealthy and poor further and ruin Britain through excessive Capitalism. Capitalism, as most know is an unfair distribution of wealth which is worse in some countries than others.

Download or read book The Future We Want written by Sarah Leonard and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stirring blueprint for American equality, from the "breakout stars" (The New York Times) of the young new left Democrat, Republican -- the list of presidential candidates confirms that business is proceeding pretty much as usual. The Future We Want proposes something different. In a sharp, rousing collective manifesto, ten young cultural and political critics dismantle the usual liberal solutions to America's ills and propose a pragmatic alternative. What would finance look like without Wall Street? Or the workplace with responsibility shared by the entire workforce? From a campaign to limit work hours, to a program for full employment, to proposals for a new feminism, The Future We Want has the courage to think of alternatives that are both utopian and possible. Brilliantly clear and provocative, The Future We Want -- edited by Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara and the Nation's Sarah Leonard -- harnesses the energy and creativity of an angry generation and announces the arrival of a new political left that not only protests but plans.
Download or read book Localism in the Mass Age written by Mark T. Mitchell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States the conventional left/right distinction has become increasingly irrelevant, if not harmful. The reigning political, cultural, and economic visions of both the Democrats and the Republicans have reached obvious dead ends. Liberalism, with its hostility to any limits, is collapsing. So-called Conservatism has abandoned all pretense of conserving anything at all. Both dominant parties seem fundamentally incapable of offering coherent solutions for the problems that beset us. In light of this intellectual, cultural, and political stalemate, there is a need for a new vision. Localism in the Mass Age: A Front Porch Republic Manifesto assembles thirty-one essays by a variety of scholars and practitioners--associated with Front Porch Republic--seeking to articulate a new vision for a better future. The writers are convinced that human apprehension of the true, the good, and the beautiful is best realized within a dense web of meaningful family, neighborhood, and community relationships. These writers seek to advance human flourishing through the promotion of political decentralism, economic localism, and cultural regionalism. In short, Front Porch Republic is dedicated to renewing American culture by fostering the ideals necessary for strong communities.
Download or read book Capital Is Dead written by McKenzie Wark and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not capitalism, it's not neoliberalism - what if it's something worse? In this radical and visionary new book, McKenzie Wark argues that information has empowered a new kind of ruling class. Through the ownership and control of information, this emergent class dominates not only labour but capital as traditionally understood as well. And it’s not just tech companies like Amazon and Google. Even Walmart and Nike can now dominate the entire production chain through the ownership of not much more than brands, patents, copyrights, and logistical systems. While techno-utopian apologists still celebrate these innovations as an improvement on capitalism, for workers—and the planet—it’s worse. The new ruling class uses the powers of information to route around any obstacle labor and social movements put up. So how do we find a way out? Capital Is Dead offers not only the theoretical tools to analyze this new world, but ways to change it. Drawing on the writings of a surprising range of classic and contemporary theorists, Wark offers an illuminating overview of the contemporary condition and the emerging class forces that control—and contest—it.

Download or read book Chesterton s America written by Rod Bennett and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributism has been called 'a really bad name for a really good idea.' "Chesterton's America" tells the story of the United States in the light of that really good (and distinctly Christian) idea, another excellent instance of history teaching philosophy by example. Though the book which forms the skeleton of this collection was written by one particular Chesterton-soldier and journalist Cecil Chesterton-the title I have chosen is deliberately ambiguous, since the story presented here includes not only large excerpts from the works of his more famous brother Gilbert Keith Chesterton but also from what might be described as a whole 'Chestertonian school' of American history. Cecil's brief History of the United States was written under dramatic circumstances and was sealed, as a kind of last testament, by the author's own death. This seems to have made a uniquely powerful impression upon his friends and co-laborers, inspiring them to study the subject closely themselves and, in several cases, to mount fuller and more careful but very much dependent works in their own right. The other Chestertonians contributing to this collection include Anglo-French historian Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), with whom Cecil collaborated on 'The Party System' (1911); G.K.'s friend, author and Conservative Member of Parliament Christopher Hollis, who published 'The American Heresy in 1930'; and Kentuckian Herbert Agar, editor of the famous Southern Agrarian manifesto 'I'll Take My Stand' -- also, according to commentator Herbert Shapiro, "[G.K.] Chesterton's leading American political disciple." G.K. Chesterton called the approach featured here 'very brilliant and original, ' but also prophesied that 'it will not be taken sufficiently seriously; because the reader will have to wrench his mind out of a rut...to imagine anybody saying that a small, limited and agricultural America would have been better for everybody-especially Americans.' 'Chesterton's America'-the first ever Distributist History of the United States-is your chance to prove him wrong!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of How to Be Idle, Tom Hodgkinson, now shares his delightfully irreverent musings on what true independence means and what it takes to be free. The Freedom Manifesto draws on French existentialists, British punks, beat poets, hippies and yippies, medieval thinkers, and anarchists to provide a new, simple, joyful blueprint for modern living. From growing your own vegetables to canceling your credit cards to reading Jean-Paul Sartre, here are excellent suggestions for nourishing mind, body, and spirit—witty, provocative, sometimes outrageous, yet eminently sage advice for breaking with convention and living an uncluttered, unfettered, and therefore happier, life.

Download or read book Placed People written by David Harden and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern humans are given lots of labels. Some see humans as consumers: consumers of goods, services, and entertainment for the Economy. Some see humans as souls to be saved. Some say humans are destructive animals that must not think too highly of themselves at the peril of the planet. All of these often competing and contradictory labels beg the question: "What are people for?" This book locates the starting point for answering this question in a placed perspective, and examines what G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, and Wendell Berry have to show us in this regard. These authors' rooted perspectives challenge us to see our communities and ourselves differently.
