Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estos últimos años han estado marcados por la corrección política antiliberal. El resultado de ello ha sido reforzar la idea de que nuestros males son culpa de la libertad y que debemos ser cada vez menos libres. Y siempre hay políticos dispuestos a que lo seamos. Carlos Rodríguez Braun refuta este pensamiento único en Panfletos liberales III: «la crisis no ha sido producida por la libertad sino por el intervencionismo. No es verdad que hayamos disfrutado de una libertad excesiva: al contrario, mientras los gobernantes se ufanan en proteger nuestros derechos, tenemos cada vez más obligaciones». En unas doscientas reflexiones breves, y con el ingenio y la ironía que caracterizan al autor, se denuncia el bulo según el cual nos arrasa una ola privatizadora neoliberal que pretende desmantelar el Estado del bienestar.El liberalismo no tiene colores partidarios y este libro molestará a los políticos de izquierdas tanto como a los de derechas. Por aludir a una de las obsesiones de Rodríguez Braun, hemos comprobado que la izquierda sube los impuestos, pero la derecha... también.

Download or read book The Four Horsemen written by Richard Stites and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of revolts starting in 1820, four military officers rode forth on horseback from obscure European towns to bring political freedom and a constitution to Spain, Naples, and Russia; and national independence to the Greeks. The men who launched these exploits from Andalusia to the snowy fields of Ukraine--Colonel Rafael del Riego, General Guglielmo Pepe, General Alexandros Ypsilanti, and Colonel Sergei Muraviev-Apostol--all hoped to overturn the old order. Over the next six years, their revolutions ended in failure. The men who led them became martyrs. In The Four Horsemen, the late, eminent historian Richard Stites offers a compelling narrative history of these four revolutions. Stites sets the stories side by side, allowing him to compare events and movements and so illuminate such topics as the transfer of ideas and peoples across frontiers, the formation of an international community of revolutionaries, and the appropriation of Christian symbols and language for secular purposes. He shows how expressive behavior and artifacts of all kinds--art, popular festivities, propaganda, and religion--worked their way to various degrees into all the revolutionary movements and regimes. And he documents as well the corruption, abandonment of liberal values, and outright betrayal of the revolution that emerged in Spain and Naples; the clash of ambitions and ideas that wracked the unity of the Decembrists' cause; and civil war that erupted in the midst of the Greek struggle for independence. Richard Stites was one of the most imaginative and broad-ranging historians working in the United States. This book is his last work, a classic example of his dazzling knowledge and idiosyncratic yet accessible writing style. The culmination of an esteemed career, The Four Horsemen promises to enthrall anyone interested in nineteenth-century Europe and the history of revolutions.
Download or read book Show and Biz written by María Blanco and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is capitalism represented in popular culture today? Are profits seen as a legitimate reward of entrepreneurship? Are thrift and effort still considered a cornerstone of a healthy society? Or is it that inequalities are eliciting scandal and reproach? How is the ecosystem portrayed, vis-à-vis profit seeking companies? Are they irreconcilable, or maybe not? Are there any established trends with respect to the presentation of entrepreneurship, and that complex legal artefact that is the modern limited liability company? These are questions that will be at the core of this book. But they are not examined through the usual theoretical point of references, but looking at TV series produced in 2000-2020. Each chapter of this book is a case studies, covering some of the most popular, successful and engaging TV shows of the last 20 years. And showing how deep economic ideas and biases lie, at the roots of some of our times' most successful entertainment products.
Download or read book Shifting the Meaning of Democracy written by Jessica Lynn Graham and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a historical analysis of one of the most striking and dramatic transformations to take place in Brazil and the United States during the twentieth century—the redefinition of the concepts of nation and democracy in racial terms. The multilateral political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to transmit these racial political messages. At times working collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept of “racial democracy” as a national security strategy, one meant to suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its ability to address racial inequities in the United States and Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality.

Download or read book For God and Liberty written by PAMELA. VOEKEL and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war. Voekel demonstrates Reform Catholicism's significance to the thought and action of the rebel literati who led decolonization efforts in Mexico and Central America, showing how each side of this religious divide operated from within a self-conscious intercontinental network of like-minded Catholics. For its central protagonists, the era's crisis of sovereignty provided a political stage for a religious struggle. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives, pamphlets, sermons, and tracts, For God and Liberty reveals how the violent struggles of decolonization and the period before and after Independence are more legible in light of the fault lines within the Church.
Download or read book Historia m nima de Centroam rica written by Rodolfo Pastor and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2011 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este pequeño libro ambicioso intenta articular una visión integral de Centroamérica. La historia material y espiritual, que habla de las cifras de la economía y sus ciclos, pero asimismo de los anhelos y los conceptos básicos, de los poemas y las construcciones imaginarias de los centroamericanos y que pretende explicar un proceso social particular, pero ambiciona también seguir los cambios políticos profundos y adaptaciones de los centroamericanos a los cambios del poder externo, sus revoluciones y las más típicas evoluciones, desde la antigüedad hasta las vicisitudes del imperialismo estadounidense, de que ha sido teatro el istmo durante el último siglo, pasando por los conflictos imperiales entre España e Inglaterra en la era colonial, y entre Inglaterra y EUA en el siglo XIX. Esta obra tiene pues lagunas, olvidos necesarios. Pero quizás también un mérito: más que otras obras parecidas consigue demostrar cómo en la era colonial se integró una economía y sociedad que imantaron una discusión pública centroamericana.

Book excerpt: The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.

Download or read book Manifesto written by Rosa Luxemburg and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three texts this book, all written in vastly different eras —The Communist Manifesto (1848) by Marx and Engels, Reform or Revolution (1899) by Rosa Luxemburg and Socialism and Man in Cuba (1965) by Ernesto Che Guevara—illuminate socialist ideas of the 19th and 20th centuries. For a new generation of activists, these are classic revolutionary writings by four famous rebels, including The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxemburg; and Che Guevara’s Socialism and Man in Cuba. Includes an introduction by Cuban Marxist intellectual Armando Hart and a preface by US radical poet Adrienne Rich. The essays in this book, Manifesto, were written by three relatively young people—Karl Marx when he was 30, Rosa Luxemburg at 27, Che Guevara at the age of 37. Born into different historical moments and different generations, they shared an energy of hope, an engagement with history, a belief that critical thinking must inform action, and a passion for the world and its human possibilities. Here are urgent conversations from the past that are still being carried on, among new voices, throughout the world.
