Paperback. Zustand: Good. This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.Democracy is often described in two opposite ways, as either wonderfully resilient or dangerously fragile. Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. When Democracy Breaks aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic breakdown, from ancient Athens to Weimar Germany to present-day Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. Strikingly, in every case, various forms of democratic erosion long preceded the final democratic breakdown. Although no single causal factor emerges as decisive, linking together all of the episodes, some important commonalities--including extreme political polarization, explicitly anti-democratic political actors, and significant political violence--stand out across the cases. Moreover, the notion of democratic culture, while admittedly difficult to define and even more difficult to measure, may play a role in all of them. Throughout the volume, the contributors show again and again that the written rules of democracy are insufficient to protect against tyranny. While each case of democratic decay is unique, the patterns that emerge shed much light on the continuing struggle to sustain modern democracies and to assess and respond to the threats they face.…

Zustand: very good. North Charleston, South Carolina : CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2016. Paperback. 437 pp. Two Centuries of Parasitic Economics is a radically original book, calling for revising macroeconomic theory and replacing the irrational finance, monetary, and tax regimes with robust systems to avert financial crises, depressions, and political turmoil and to restore democracy. The introduction reviews the bailout of US banks in 2008, arguing that rescuing millions of delinquent homeowners to repay the banks was not just fairer but also faster for stabilizing the housing market and the economy. Part I surveys macroeconomic theory. It faults classical economics for hailing self-interest as the sole economic driver and its ambivalence towards plutocracy (the reign of money), extreme poverty, and the periodic depressions plaguing 19th century Europe, thereby providing justification for Marxism. Marxism made the opposite mistake by assuming that only societal-interest mattered and denying self-interest, hence, its weakness. It credits expansionary Keynesian fiscal policies with alleviating contractions. A detailed examination of neoclassical macroeconomics concludes that, philosophically, its use of flawed logic and false premises makes it a collection of formal and informal fallacies, requiring its reclassification as a dogma. Part II proposes a unified theory of macroeconomic failure to identify and resolve the subtle roots of economic problems, which invariably violate societal-interest through immoral policies, a negative externality (where the social cost exceeds the private cost). Treating immorality as a negative externality also permits its measurement and econometric modeling. It concludes that democratic erosion, poverty, misdirected public expenditure, irrational taxes, debt saturation, amplified cyclicality, and monopolies as part of an extended family of negative externalities that cause macroeconomic failure. Part III examines negative externalities in depth. Banking, inherently unstable because it lends money it does not have, is liable to periodic crises, requiring exponential growth in government support, and a parallel growth in banking power. It reviews US business cycles (1787-2009) and why they became abruptly milder after 1942. It attributes the economic boom after World War II (rapid growth, rising living standards, the welfare state, unionization, and political reforms) to Western plutocracies' fright of communist takeovers. Hence, the ebbing tide of communism in the 1980s saw the Thatcher-Reagan counter-revolution reverse those policies to increase the share of plutocracy in GDP with opposite results: enfeebling unions, increasing the market shares and rates of return of monopolies, rising inequality, and slowing growth. Hence, Professor Piketty's conclusion that the rise in the rate of return above the growth rate (r>g) increased inequality is invalid, mistaking effect for cause. Part III concludes by examining democratic erosion, using a specifically constructed democracy index. Part IV offers remedial solutions. To eliminate banking fiascos, it proposes replacing debt with equity, remodeling banking, and taxing interest, a negative externality, to curb its use. It warns that corporate income tax slows growth by falling on efficiency (profitability) and offers a revenue neutral corporate capital tax instead. It advocates replacing the present personal tax jigsaw with two simple taxes on earned income and personal capital. It also proposes a onetime democracy tax on extreme wealth to stop plutocracy's hijacking of democracy. Part V looks at the economic storms gathering over the West's horizon and the likely tectonic shifts in political power to follow. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9781523827954.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - When Athens fell and Rome burned, something shifted in how humans asked what was real. This book traces philosophy not as a pure pursuit of truth, but as a discipline forged in political collapse, war, and institutional failure. From the Peloponnesian War to the fall of the Roman Republic, each era of philosophical innovation followed a crisis of authority. Plato's Republic, Augustine's City of God, Machiavelli's Prince-each emerged not from ivory towers, but from the wreckage of failed states. The narrative moves through the Hellenistic schools, the rise of Scholasticism, and the Enlightenment, showing how thinkers from Cicero to Hume responded to the political pressures of their time. What emerges is a history of ideas shaped by the collapse of old orders and the struggle to build new ones. The book ends with the 20th century, where existentialism and critical theory arose from the ashes of two world wars, revealing that philosophy has always been a response to the world falling apart.…
