Description
Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy is perhaps the most important and influential book on the subject ever written. This volume is the result of an effort to weld into a readable form the bulk of almost forty years' thought, observation and research on the subject of socialism. The problem of democracy forced its way into the place it now occupies in this volume because it proved impossible to state my views on the relation between the...

"With pundits asking, "How did he win?" this book explores whether there was a supernatural element involved. Christian leaders prophesied before the election that God had raised up Donald Trump to lead the nation through a time of crisis. But could this billionaire reality-TV star actually convince the voters he was for real? If so, what is God doing now not only in Trump's life, but also in the nation? Trump is an enigma, a brash self-promoter,...

In this powerful work, John Stuart Mill sets forth representative government as the most sensible compromise between unreflective rule by the masses and the self-indulgence of the few. The reader of this volume senses that Mill is being pulled in opposing directions: steadfastly committed to majority rule with minority rights while at the same time being just enough of an aristocrat to believe that the masses need exemplars to emulate. This edition...

In dark days, men need a clear faith and a well-grounded hope; and as the outcome of these, the calm courage which takes no account of hardships by the way. The times through which we are passing have afforded to many of us a confirmation of our faith. We see that the things we had thought evil are really evil, and we know more definitely than we ever did before the directions in which men must move if a better world is to arise on the ruins of the...

Author
Description
Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy, which holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, or alternatively as opposing authority in the conduct of human relations.

68) Nationalism
Author
Description
Nationalism is based on lectures delivered by him during the First World War. While the nations of Europe were doing battle, Tagore urged his audiences in Japan and the United States to eschew political aggressiveness and cultural arrogance. The lectures emphasize Tagore's political and philosophical views on human understanding and its weakness for power and material hoardings. Tagore's Nationalism holds much relevance in today's environment of violence...

L'antispécisme — la lutte contre toute discrimination fondée sur l'appartenance à une espèce animale — est plus explicitement politique que le végétarisme ou le véganisme, qui sont essentiellement des modes de vie. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, des communautés végétariennes et des groupes de pression ont lutté contre l'exploitation des animaux, mais c'est en Grande-Bretagne, au milieu du XXe siècle, qu'une autre forme de militantisme...

With the rise of the global protestor-from Arab Spring to the Occupy movement-the term "anarchist" has been littered throughout mainstream media as never before. But just as frequently, its definition is skewed or left wanting: anarchists are painted as nihilists, supporters of chaos, or even terrorists. In Order without Power, an informative primer, Normand Baillargeon thoroughly defines anarchism and recounts its long history. In outlining the forerunners...

¿Qué es razonable esperar de las elecciones en el mundo real, en que los mercados distribuyen de manera desigual los ingresos y en que los políticos hacen su mejor esfuerzo para perpetuarse en el poder? ¿Podemos hablar de elecciones en casos en que se debe optar entre dos variantes de lo mismo? ¿Es suficiente con que una mayoría de votantes considere que algo es lo mejor para todos? ¿Por qué los comicios tal como los conocemos son "el menos...

El desgaste y el deterioro de la política desde la perspectiva de la ciudadanía han incrementado las preguntas sobre la mejor forma de hacer política.

Mondéjar documenta que el separatismo catalán, incapaz de culminar un golpe de Estado tradicional, asesta continuos golpes con el único objetivo de erosionar al Estado, debilitarlo y, de este modo, mantener...

" C'est chimère d'attendre que l'Anarchie, idéal humain, puisse sortir de la République, forme gouvernementale. Les deux évolutions se font en sens inverse, et le changement ne peut s'accomplir que par une rupture brusque, c'est-à-dire par une révolution. C'est par décret que les républicains font le bonheur du peuple, par la police qu'ils ont la prétention de se maintenir ! Le pouvoir n'étant autre chose que l'emploi de la force, leur premier...

Democracy for Beginners looks at democracy's rich evolution in its varied forms, and at some of the challenges democracies face today. Beginning with the rise of democracy in fifth-century Athens and ending with an exploration of what the future might...
