Saving Society: Breaking Out of Our Bureaucratic Way of Life
ISBN: 9781594517761 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why do many problems throughout the world seem to be getting worse? Saving Society argues that a dramatic change in our mode of thinking is required. The authors show how many of our fundamental assumptions lead to an overly bureaucratic approach, blocking solutions to many of our problems. They contrast our present emotional repression and conforming behaviour with a more liberated form of perception, thought and emotional expression, which could allow us to break out of these bureaucratic routines. Saving Society shows how this alternative approach might lay the basis for more effective and...

He is also interested in how power is shared, divided, checked, and...

Courts and Congress: America's Unwritten Constitution
ISBN: 9781412811446 / Angielski / Miękka / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It's often said, confirmed by survey data, that the American people are losing confidence in their government. But the problem may be the reverse-the government has lost confidence in the people. Increasingly the power to make decisions in our democracy has been shifted from Congress to the court system, forcing non-elected officials to make decisions that affect the lives of Americans. In a society which is based on the democratic elections of its officials, this is clearly backwards. Quirk maintains that what he calls the Happy Convention, an informal and unwritten rearrangement of "passing...
