This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Politics, and Other Papers The case of the United States is not in point. In a country Where the necessities of life are cheap and the wages of labor high, where a man who has no capital but his legs and arms may expect to become rich by industry and frugality, it is not very decidedly even for the immediate advantage of the poor to plunder the rich; and the punishment of doing so would very speedily follow the offense. But in countries in which the great majority live from hand to mouth, and in which vast masses of wealth have been accumulated by a comparatively small number, the case is widely dif ferent. The immediate want is, at particular seasons, craving, imperious, irresistible. In our own time it has steeled men to the fear of the gallows, and urged them on the point of the bayonet. And, if these men had at their command that gallows, and those bayonets, which now scarcely restrain them, what is to be expected? Nor is this state of things one which can exist only under a bad government. Therefore, the better the government, the greater is the inequality of condi tions; and the greater the inequality of conditions, the stronger are the motives which impel the populace to spoliation. As for America, we appeal to the twentieth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Politics of the Book written by Filipe Carreira da Silva and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to separate the content of a book from its form. In this study, Filipe Carreira da Silva and Mónica Brito Vieira expand our understanding of the history of social and political scholarship by examining how the entirety of a book mediates and constitutes meaning in ways that affect its substance, appropriation, and reception over time. Examining the evolving form of classic works of social and political thought, including W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk, G. H. Mead’s Mind, Self, and Society, and Karl Marx’s 1844 Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts, Carreira da Silva and Brito Vieira show that making these books involved many hands. They explore what publishers, editors, translators, and commentators accomplish by offering the reading public new versions of the works under consideration, examine debates about the intended meaning of the works and discussions over their present relevance, and elucidate the various ways in which content and material form are interwoven. In doing so, Carreira da Silva and Brito Vieira characterize the editorial process as a meaning-producing action involving both collaboration and an ongoing battle for the importance of the book form to a work’s disciplinary belonging, ideological positioning, and political significance. Theoretically sophisticated and thoroughly researched, The Politics of the Book radically changes our understanding of what doing social and political theory—and its history—implies. It will be welcomed by scholars of book history, the history of social and political thought, and social and political theory.

Download or read book New Democracy written by William J. Novak and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activist state of the New Deal started forming decades before the FDR administration, demonstrating the deep roots of energetic government in America. In the period between the Civil War and the New Deal, American governance was transformed, with momentous implications for social and economic life. A series of legal reforms gradually brought an end to nineteenth-century traditions of local self-government and associative citizenship, replacing them with positive statecraft: governmental activism intended to change how Americans lived and worked through legislation, regulation, and public administration. The last time American public life had been so thoroughly altered was in the late eighteenth century, at the founding and in the years immediately following. William J. Novak shows how Americans translated new conceptions of citizenship, social welfare, and economic democracy into demands for law and policy that delivered public services and vindicated peopleÕs rights. Over the course of decades, Americans progressively discarded earlier understandings of the reach and responsibilities of government and embraced the idea that legislators and administrators in Washington could tackle economic regulation and social-welfare problems. As citizens witnessed the successes of an energetic, interventionist state, they demanded more of the same, calling on politicians and civil servants to address unfair competition and labor exploitation, form public utilities, and reform police power. Arguing against the myth that America was a weak state until the New Deal, New Democracy traces a steadily aggrandizing authority well before the Roosevelt years. The United States was flexing power domestically and intervening on behalf of redistributive goals for far longer than is commonly recognized, putting the lie to libertarian claims that the New Deal was an aberration in American history.

Download or read book A New Politics from the Left written by Hilary Wainwright and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions passionately desire a viable alternative to austerity and neoliberalism, but they are sceptical of traditional leftist top-down state solutions. In this urgent polemic, Hilary Wainwright argues that this requires a new politics for the left that comes from the bottom up, based on participatory democracy and the everyday knowledge and creativity of each individual. Political leadership should be about facilitation and partnership, not expert domination or paternalistic rule. Wainwright uses lessons from recent movements and experiments to build a radical future vision that will be an inspiration for activists and radicals everywhere.
Download or read book The Democracy Sourcebook written by Robert A. Dahl and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democracy Sourcebook offers a collection of classic writings and contemporary scholarship on democracy, creating a book that can be used by undergraduate and graduate students in a wide variety of courses, including American politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political philosophy. The editors have chosen substantial excerpts from the essential theorists of the past, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and the authors of The Federalist Papers; they place them side by side with the work of such influential modern scholars as Joseph Schumpeter, Adam Przeworski, Seymour Martin Lipset, Samuel P. Huntington, Ronald Dworkin, and Amartya Sen. The book is divided into nine self-contained chapters: "Defining Democracy," which discusses procedural, deliberative, and substantive democracy; "Sources of Democracy," on why democracy exists in some countries and not in others; "Democracy, Culture, and Society," about cultural and sociological preconditions for democracy; "Democracy and Constitutionalism," which focuses on the importance of independent courts and a bill of rights; "Presidentialism versus Parliamentarianism"; "Representation," discussing which is the fairest system of democratic accountability; "Interest Groups"; "Democracy's Effects," an examination of the effect of democracy on economic growth and social inequality; and finally, "Democracy and the Global Order" discusses the effects of democracy on international relations, including the propensity for war and the erosion of national sovereignty by transnational forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Politics, and Other Papers To a superficial view there is little in the present state of our public affairs to suggest the notion of any marked transition. There are no wars or rumors of wars; even the prophecies and forebodings of that sort of excitement seem to lack conviction. They are but mildly lugubrious, and yield few shudders. Peace reigns - and prosperity, which is tamer still. Nor is there any "malice domestic" that looks particularly threatening. Sectional jealousies, though occasionally stirred, do not leap into flame. Party feeling, as between the two great parties, has seldom been so weak. Exciting and dramatic personal rivalries are equally wanting. There is nothing, for instance, to compare with the long confrontments of Jefferson and Hamilton, of Clay and Jackson, of Douglas and Lincoln.

Download or read book New Politics for the South Classic Reprint written by James Wilford Garner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Politics for the South SO long as the white people Of the South were exposed to the/ dangers Of negro domination they were justified in acting together to prevent the return to power Of the party which had once imposed upon them the incubus oi negro rule and which might do so again if the Opportunity were Offered. The motive back Of this feeling was not that Of hatred 0r revenge but it was the simple instinct Of self-preservation. Now, however, that the supremacy of the white race is fully established and the right Of the white people to govern is everywhere readily admitted, the excuse for the political solidarity Of the South on national questions no longer exists. In most Of the southern states the great mass Of the negro population has been disfranchised and the people Of the entire country have acquiesced, to say the least, in the action Of the South in providing constitutional safeguards against the return Of the negro to power. Nearly twenty years have elapsed since Missis sippi adopted a constitution which, in effect, took away from the negro his political privileges, and although the party which had conferred political rights upon him has been in control Of the national government during most Of this period, no serious attempt has been made to interfere with the action Of the state or to punish it by reducing its representation in Congress as the fourteenth amendment declares shall be done. Hardly a sincere and respectable protest against the disfranchisement Of the negro has yet been made by the Republican party, and recent events would seem to justify the conclusion that it has virtually abandoned him so far as his political rights are concerned.
