Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover through the new eye-opening book The Fundamental Principles of a Good Government how the dominant classes have used their economic power to maintain their social privilege. The book establishes a relationship between poverty and social injustice, examining how an ineffective government's bad social policies can and often do have disastrous consequences for the community. While it offers a social, political, and philosophical analysis of the kinds of human behavior that foster conditions for social instability, the book explains how the problems that impact individuals and families are both ethical and political.While working with low-income families and assessing their needs, author Jose Saint-Louis came to realize that the socio-economic gap that defines the life of the poor in America is mainly rooted in our domestic and international policies."I write this book to enlighten members of our community, from the rulers, to the governed. I strongly believe that humankind makes history, and can change the course of history by posing the foundation for a suitable social environment where human dignity is respected."Meanwhile, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.About the Author: Jose Saint-Louis is the author of The Tragedy of a People, a Poetic Book; Christian Advocate, a Socio-religious Revue; and The Haitian Revolution in the Shaping of American Democracy. He is a graduate of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and holds the Master of Divinity degree. He has started writing his next book, Race and Politics in a Multicultural Society.Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheFundamentalPrinciplesOfAGoodGovernment.html

Download or read book Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments written by Benjamin Constant and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was born in Switzerland and became one of France's leading writers, as well as a journalist, philosopher, and politician. His colourful life included a formative stay at the University of Edinburgh; service at the court of Brunswick, Germany; election to the French Tribunate; and initial opposition and subsequent support for Napoleon, even the drafting of a constitution for the Hundred Days. Constant wrote many books, essays, and pamphlets. His deepest conviction was that reform is hugely superior to revolution, both morally and politically. While Constant's fluid, dynamic style and lofty eloquence do not always make for easy reading, his text forms a coherent whole, and in his translation Dennis O'Keeffe has focused on retaining the 'general elegance and subtle rhetoric' of the original. Sir Isaiah Berlin called Constant 'the most eloquent of all defenders of freedom and privacy' and believed to him we owe the notion of 'negative liberty', that is, what Biancamaria Fontana describes as "the protection of individual experience and choices from external interferences and constraints." To Constant it was relatively unimportant whether liberty was ultimately grounded in religion or metaphysics -- what mattered were the practical guarantees of practical freedom -- "autonomy in all those aspects of life that could cause no harm to others or to society as a whole." This translation is based on Etienne Hofmann's critical edition of Principes de politique (1980), complete with Constant's additions to the original work.

Download or read book The Principles of Representative Government written by Bernard Manin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this original and provocative book is that representative government should be understood as a combination of democratic and undemocratic, aristocratic elements. Professor Manin challenges the conventional view that representative democracy is no more than an indirect form of government by the people, in which citizens elect representatives only because they cannot assemble and govern in person. The argument is developed by examining the historical moments when the present institutional arrangements were chosen from among the then available alternatives. Professor Manin reminds us that while today representative institutions and democracy appear as virtually indistinguishable, when representative government was first established in Europe and America, it was designed in opposition to democracy proper. Drawing on the procedures used in earlier republican systems, from classical Athens to Renaissance Florence, in order to highlight the alternatives that were forsaken, Manin brings to the fore the generally overlooked results of representative mechanisms. These include the elitist aspect of elections and the non-binding character of campaign promises.
