Download or read book Democracy at Work written by Richard Wolff and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, and who, are we working for? A thoughtful assessment on our current society from “probably America’s most prominent Marxist economist” (The New York Times). Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve. One key cause for this intolerable state of affairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in our politics. The solution requires the institution of genuine economic democracy, starting with workers managing their own workplaces, as the basis for a genuine political democracy. Here Richard D. Wolff lays out a hopeful and concrete vision of how to make that possible, addressing the many people who have concluded economic inequality and politics as usual can no longer be tolerated and are looking for a concrete program of action. “Wolff’s constructive and innovative ideas suggest new and promising foundations for much more authentic democracy and sustainable and equitable development, ideas that can be implemented directly and carried forward. A very valuable contribution in troubled times.” —Noam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of Hope and Prospects

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last seventy years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in America but in much of the developed world, today that class is declining and a new, more hierarchical society is emerging. The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times. At the apex of the new order are two classes—a reborn clerical elite, the clerisy, which dominates the upper part of the professional ranks, universities, media and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and growing control of information. These two classes correspond to the old French First and Second Estates. Below these two classes lies what was once called the Third Estate. This includes the yeomanry, which is made up largely of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers and private-sector oriented professionals. Ascendant for much of modern history, this class is in decline while those below them, the new Serfs, grow in numbers—a vast, expanding property-less population. The trends are mounting, but we can still reverse them—if people understand what is actually occurring and have the capability to oppose them.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historical accounts of democracy's rise tend to focus on ancient Greece and pre-Renaissance Europe. The Decline and Rise of Democracy draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richer--democratic practices were present in many places, at many other times, from the Americas before European conquest, to ancient Mesopotamia, to precolonial Africa. Delving into the prevalence of early democracy throughout the world, David Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourished--and when and why they declined--can provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but also about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future."--

Download or read book Democracy written by Paul Cartledge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Greece first coined the concept of "democracy", yet almost every major ancient Greek thinker-from Plato and Aristotle onwards- was ambivalent towards or even hostile to democracy in any form. The explanation for this is quite simple: the elite perceived majority power as tantamount to a dictatorship of the proletariat. In ancient Greece there can be traced not only the rudiments of modern democratic society but the entire Western tradition of anti-democratic thought. In Democracy, Paul Cartledge provides a detailed history of this ancient political system. In addition, by drawing out the salient differences between ancient and modern forms of democracy he enables a richer understanding of both. Cartledge contends that there is no one "ancient Greek democracy" as pure and simple as is often believed. Democracy surveys the emergence and development of Greek politics, the invention of political theory, and-intimately connected to the latter- the birth of democracy, first at Athens in c. 500 BCE and then at its greatest flourishing in the Greek world 150 years later. Cartledge then traces the decline of genuinely democratic Greek institutions at the hands of the Macedonians and-subsequently and decisively-the Romans. Throughout, he sheds light on the variety of democratic practices in the classical world as well as on their similarities to and dissimilarities from modern democratic forms, from the American and French revolutions to contemporary political thought. Authoritative and accessible, Cartledge's book will be regarded as the best account of ancient democracy and its long afterlife for many years to come.
Download or read book Feudalism in American Politics Classic Reprint written by Samuel Harden Church and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feudalism in American Politics It is a thing pleasing to every patriotic man that the young men of this nation are displaying an increasing activity in poli tics. As the country grows richer and the people become more settled in habits and customs, a larger share of popular attention is naturally given to public affairs. Colleges and universities, through their courses of study in the political and social sciences, are forming an educated public opinion in men trained to reason and to think; and the participation of such men in the discussion of present day problems will add tremendously to their right so lution. Under the general subject, Feudalism in American Politics, certain baneful and dangerous tendencies will be con sidered, not because the evil situation is a hopeless one, but be cause its efficacious remedy can be so easily applied. It is not intended to present a pessimistic or unwholesome View of politic al conditions in America. On the contrary, the purpose is to arouse in capable hearts an aspiration for the destruction of pub lic abuses through a saving sense of civic obligation. Politics is government. The right to govern in America is not placed in one man, as in a monarchy, nor in a few men, as in an oligarchy, but it is the heritage which every citizen receives from the fathers. The fatal neglect of that heritage invites its decay. Its preservation requires that every American should be in politics, - not for office, for that is the last thing a young man should seek, - l)ut to guard the State. While some progress has been made in establishing a civil service in this country, there is no permanent tenure, and no assured promotion in public life. With every change of government, thousands of experienced men are dismissed without due cause, only to find themselves un fitted for the exacting requirements of private business life. In England it is not so. Take a single department there - the Col onial office of Great Britain. There are twenty-four clerks in that of'fice.cvery one a graduate of either Oxford or Cambridge, with a degree as high at least as m.a. These men are retained atgood salaries until superannuated, and they handle and direct all the potent colonial energies of that mighty empire. The Col onial Secretary may or may not be an able statesman; in either case he knows but little of the details of his own administration. In England when a young man aspires to a public career, he is graduated from the university, and duly enters Parliament. If he displays signal ability he becomes a permanent figure in po litical life. When one is invited to dinner to meet the public servants of England, he knows that he will come in contact with men trained to great affairs; the empire can offer him no more stimulating intercourse. Here it is different. Our public men rise to view for a moment, and then disappear. We have no diplomatic service, and the great embassies and missions are be stowed as the spoils of victory, frequently on men who are over weighted by their honors. There is but one exception, for cus tom now demands that our ambassador to Great Britain must be the most eminent available man in this Republic.
