Private Means, Public Ends (Large Print Edition): Voluntarism vs. Coercion
ISBN: 9781480012080 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com
This collection of essays daringly challenges the perceived wisdom of government necessity by pointing to instances of the free market fulfilling these functions. The book seeks to illustrate that there are, inevitably, many intrinsic problems with governmental attempts to plan and implement these functions. Moreover, governments operate on the leverage of coercion -- whether that be in the form of laws or taxation. These essays suggest that the private alternatives not only tend to work better at achieving the desired end, but they also... LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com

Summing up the work of libertarian economist and historian Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) and noting its stunning range, philosopher David Gordon once wondered "if there are really three, four, or five geniuses writing under his name." The lively essays collected in this book display one of those geniuses: Rothbard the journalist, cultural critic, political observer, and movement organizer. Even more remarkable, they represent just a fraction of what he wrote in his spare time, for just one publication, and in just the last few years of...

True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society
ISBN: 9781620458303 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why has punditry lately overtaken news? Why do lies seem to linger so long in the cultural subconscious even after they've been thoroughly discredited? And why, when more people than ever before are documenting the truth with laptops and digital cameras, does fact-free spin and propaganda seem to work so well? True Enough explores leading controversies of national politics, foreign affairs, science, and business, explaining how Americans have begun to organize themselves into echo chambers that harbor diametrically different facts--not merely opinions--from those of the larger...

Notes from the Field: Strategies toward Cultural Transformation
ISBN: 9780981690643 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today there are mini-revolutions in many parts of the world. It is not only the downtrodden who are rising up, but also the middle classes. The institutions that are supposed to run things are not working very well. The challenges to solve the most critical problems seem beyond the capability of the governors. Violence can spread to any area. Each circumstance is unique in its own setting, but behind all the eruptions, the essence is the same. PROBLEMS ARE NOT BEING SOLVED. In the United States we still live in a fairly stable environment. But the protests we observe elsewhere are coming...

Conflicted Are the Peacemakers: Israeli and Palestinian Moderates and the Death of Oslo
ISBN: 9781628922578 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1993 Oslo Accords were a key attempt to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict whose failure was largely attributed to extremists on both sides. The book challenges this conventional wisdom by examining the role of Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers themselves in derailing the peace process. Looking at the role of moderates before and after Oslo, the different agreements and peace proposals they negotiated, and their rhetoric, the book shows that these peacemakers retained an inherent ambivalence toward the peace process and one another. This prevented them and their... The 1993 Oslo Accords were a key attempt to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict whose failure was largely attributed to extremists on both sid... |

Most of them are prepared to explain at a moment's notice how any piece of business should be conducted. From the smaller details right up to the higher organisation of industry there is nothing upon which they are not ready to express an opinion, the view expressed being, generally speaking, the more...

Because You Never Asked (Book One)
ISBN: 9780615996356 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing essays since the early 90's, these missives found in "Because You Never Asked" are but a cross section of work that is still in progress today. Grapel considers them therapeutic objections to the paradigm of our culture and the negativity it is leading us into. "All cultures attempt to inculcate their constituents into someone's narrow-minded, self-serving version of reality and this book is an attempt to translate these subterfuges into the truth," he says. Although several of his earliest essays are included in this collection, the vast majority of them are contemporary. Regardless...

I Accuse!
ISBN: 9781497429697 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In January 1898 French novelist and critic Emile Zola played an important part in the defense of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jew unjustly accused of selling military secrets to Germany. On the front page of a Paris newspaper, the author published a terrific denunciation of French government officials, entitled "J'accuse... " ("I Accuse... ") It was written as an open letter to Felix Faure, President of the French Republic, and accused the government of anti-Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair. The brave letter had much to do with freeing Dreyfus in 1899."

Women, Dissent and Anti-Slavery in Britain and America, 1790-1865
ISBN: 9780198725213 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As historians have gradually come to recognize, the involvement of women was central to the anti-slavery cause in both Britain and the United States. Like their male counterparts, women abolitionists did not all speak with one voice. Among the major differences between women were their religious affiliations, an aspect of their commitment that has not been studied in detail. Yet it is clear that the desire to live out and practice their religious beliefs inspired many of the women who participated in anti-slavery activities in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This book...

Ceremonies of Innocence: Essays from the Indian Wars
ISBN: 9781481125741 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ceremonies of Innocence updates and collects Steve Russell's commentaries on the contemporary Indian Wars in the United States. Early versions of these essays appeared in Indian Country Today. These essays assume less background in political science, history, and economics than Russell's first book on tribal governance, Sequoyah Rising (Carolina Academic Press 2010). Still, there is much food for thought here not just for tribal voters and officials in tribal government, but also for non-Indians who care about the aggressions against Indian property and self-government that continue in their...
