This collection features a range of sharp-edged parodies and polemics that serve both to entertain and provoke thought, reflecting the tensions of a society grappling with reform, freedom of speech, and the excesses of political power. Hone's engaging style blends humor with incisive commentary, situating his work within the broader context of Romanticism and the burgeoning political activism of his era. William Hone, a prominent figure in the English literary scene, was deeply influenced by the events of his time, including the Peterloo Massacre and the fight for increased civil liberties.

His knack for transforming serious discourse into accessible narratives made him a beloved yet contentious voice, capturing the sentiments of the common man against an oppressive regime. "Pamphlets and Parodies on Political Subjects" is not merely a historical artifact; it is a vibrant tapestry of social commentary that resonates with contemporary issues of governance and civil rights. I highly recommend this collection to readers eager to explore the power of satire as a tool for political change, as well as those interested in the interplay between literature and activism in times of social upheaval.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Eugenics in American Political Life How the Politics of Superiority Still Shape Us Today【電子書籍】[ Shannon Bow O'Brien ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The book explores the development of the American eugenics movement and how it still plays a role in American life. Building on a brief overview of the concept of eugenics, Shannon Bow O’Brien charts the foundations of the ideas, significant influences, and influencers of the movement in the last 19th and early 20th centuries. She discusses how these ideals and social life shaped American culture and encouraged attitudes toward racial and ethnic biases, including immigration policies in that period.</p> <p>O’Brien examines how the founding of the United States of America was built on unwanted individuals from the United Kingdom; transported felons and indentured servants were many of the original colonists. As the population forged its new nation, many of these individuals were the focus of restrictive immigration policies that sought to amend the identity of the American citizen and sought to define acceptable roles for Black persons within American society. Faithful slave monuments provided physical models to help engrain these roles within American life. O’Brien traces the development of the Mammy statue movement and its intersectionality with the restrictive immigration laws.</p> <p>Finally, she turns to the rhetoric of Donald Trump and contextualizes his speech in the ideology of the superiority of White Nordic nativism within American life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Fascinating profiles of modern writers and artists who tapped the political potential of fairy tales</strong></p> <p>Jack Zipes has spent decades as a “scholarly scavenger,” discovering forgotten fairy tales in libraries, flea markets, used bookstores, and internet searches, and he has introduced countless readers to these remarkable works and their authors. In <em>Buried Treasures</em>, Zipes describes his special passion for uncovering political fairy tales of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, offers fascinating profiles of more than a dozen of their writers and illustrators, and shows why they deserve greater attention and appreciation.</p> <p>These writers and artists used their remarkable talents to confront political oppression and economic exploitation by creating alternative, imaginative worlds that test the ethics and morals of the real world and expose hidden truths. Among the figures we meet here are ?douard Laboulaye, a jurist who wrote acute fairy tales about justice; Charles Godfrey Leland, a folklorist who found other worlds in tales of Native Americans, witches, and Roma; Kurt Schwitters, an artist who wrote satirical, antiauthoritarian stories; Mariette Lydis, a painter who depicted lost-and-found souls; Lisa Tetzner, who dramatized exploitation by elites; Felix Salten, who unveiled the real meaning of Bambi’s dangerous life in the forest; and Gianni Rodari, whose work showed just how political and insightful fantasy stories can be.</p> <p>Demonstrating the uncanny power of political fairy tales, <em>Buried Treasures</em> also shows how their fictional realities not only enrich our understanding of the world but even give us tools to help us survive.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Prince Political Treatise【電子書籍】[ Niccol? Machiavelli ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Prince is a political treatise by the Florentine philosopher Niccol? Machiavelli, written c. 1513. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. Machiavelli dedicated The Prince to the ruling Medici of the time, leading some today to still speculate whether the book was a satire. Niccol? Machiavelli asserted that The Prince (president, dictator, prime minister, etc.) does not have to be concerned with ethics, as long as their motivation is to protect the state. It is this questionable belief that in many ways had lead to the modern world as we know it. His assertion was that the head of state must protect the state no matter the cost and no matter what rules he or she breaks in the process.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Political Strategies in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Political authority contains an inherent contradiction. Rulers must reinforce social inequality and bolster their own unique position at the top of the sociopolitical hierarchy, yet simultaneously emphasize social similarities and the commonalities shared by all. <em>Political Strategies in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica</em> explores the different and complex ways that those who exercised authority in the region confronted this contradiction.</p> <p>New data from a variety of well-known scholars in Mesoamerican archaeology reveal the creation, perpetuation, and contestation of politically authoritative relationships between rulers and subjects and between nobles and commoners. The contributions span the geographic breadth and temporal extent of pre-Columbian Mesoamericaーfrom Preclassic Oaxaca to the Classic Pet?n region of Guatemala to the Postclassic Michoac?nーand the contributors weave together archaeological, epigraphic, and ethnohistoric data.</p> <p>Grappling with the questions of how those exercising authority convince others to follow and why individuals often choose to recognize and comply with authority, <em>Political Strategies in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica</em> discusses why the study of political authority is both timely and significant, reviews how scholars have historically understood the operation of political authority, and proposes a new analytical framework to understand how rulers rule.</p> <p>Contributors include Sarah B. Barber, Joanne Baron, Christopher S. Beekman, Jeffrey Brzezinski, Bryce Davenport, Charles Golden, Takeshi Inomata, Arthur A. Joyce, Sarah Kurnick, Carlo J.

Surging Democracy Notes on Hannah Arendt’s Political Thought【電子書籍】[ Adriana Cavarero ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What does a truly democratic experience of political action look like today? In this provocative new work, Adriana Cavarero weighs in on contemporary debates about the relationship between democracy, happiness, and dissent. Drawing on Arendt's understanding of politics as a participatory experience, but also discussing texts by ?mile Zola, Elias Canetti, Boris Pasternak, and Roland Barthes, along with engaging Judith Butler, Cavarero proposes a new view of democracy, based not on violence, but rather on the spontaneous experience of a plurality of bodies coming together in public. Expanding on the themes explored in previous works, Cavarero offers a timely intervention into current thinking about the nature of democracy, suggesting that its emergence thrives on the nonviolent creativity of a widespread, participatory, and relational power that is shared horizontally rather than vertically. From digital democracy to selfies to contemporary protest movements, Cavarero argues that we need to rethink our focus on individual happiness and turn toward rediscovering the joyful emotions of birth through plural interaction. Yes, let us be happy, she urges, but let us do so publicly, politically, together.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Americans honor the flag with a fervor seen in few other countries: <em>The Stars and Stripes</em> decorate American homes and businesses; wave over sports events and funerals; and embellish everything from politicians' lapels to the surface of the moon.</p> <p>But what does the flag <em>mean</em>? In <em>Capture the Flag</em>, historian Woden Teachout reveals that it has held vastly different meanings over time. It has been claimed by both the right and left; by racists and revolutionaries; by immigrants and nativists. In tracing the political history of the flag from its origins in the American Revolution through the present day, Teachout demonstrates that the shifting symbolism of the flag reveals a broader shift in the definition of American patriotism.</p> <p>A story of a nation in search of itself, <em>Capture the Flag</em> offers a probing account of the flag that has become America's icon.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Economic Growth and Long Cycles A Classical Political Economy Approach【電子書籍】[ Nikolaos Chatzarakis ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Contemporary capitalism is characterized by periods of vigorous economic growth and periods of slow or even negative growth. This book draws on the classical political economy approach to consider both economic cycles and economic growth and draw conclusions about the inherent instability of the modern economy. The book shows that the work of the old classical economists (Smith and Ricardo) and Marx is theoretically sound and capable of providing answers to both growth and cycles. It also demonstrates the potential and natural integration of growth and cycles in a single model. The microeconomic foundation of this model is the labor theory of value, which continues with the General Law of Capital Accumulation, the Law of the Falling Rate of Profit, and the movement of the Industrial Reserve Army of Labour. Finally, a dynamic model of growth-cum-cycles is constructed consisting of the evolution and interaction of five key variables, namely, the rate of profit, the propensity to invest in fixed capital, technological change, the reserve army of labour, and the rate of capital devaluation. The analysis demonstrates that economic growth and cycles are not disconnected from each other, as they have been treated in the literature, but rather interdependent aspects of the same evolutionary process of a capitalist economy. This book will interest readers in the history of economic thought, economic growth and development, macroeconomics, and political economy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

But at the same time, democratically legitimated politicians need some discretion in their decision-making.</p> <p>Allegations of politicians committing criminal offences in office quickly attract a great deal of media attention. Even politicians themselves frequently use such allegations to discredit their political opponents. However, to date this topic has not been fully addressed on an academic level. This book is a first step in this direction.</p> <p>The individual contributions cover topics such as:</p> <ul> <li> <p>“bad” political decisions that result in a waste of taxpayers’ money</p> </li> <li> <p>corruption and conflicts of interest in political decision-making</p> </li> <li> <p>immunities and procedural obstacles to the effective prosecution of politicians</p> </li> <li> <p>abuse of criminal law and criminal proceedings in the political arena</p> </li> <li> <p>criminal liability for decisions taken in situations of state emergency</p> </li> <li> <p>the role of criminal law in public opinion.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Leading experts examine these and other issues from a comparative perspective.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Economy of the Special Relationship Anglo-American Development from the Gold Standard to the Financial Crisis【電子書籍】[ Jeremy Green ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>How</strong> <strong>America's global financial power was created and shaped through its special relationship with Britain</strong><br /> The rise of global finance in the latter half of the twentieth century has long been understood as one chapter in a larger story about the postwar growth of the United States. <em>The Political Economy of the Special Relationship</em> challenges this popular narrative. Revealing the Anglo-American origins of financial globalization, Jeremy Green sheds new light on Britain’s hugely significant, but often overlooked, role in remaking international capitalism alongside America.</p> <p>Drawing from new archival research, Green questions the conventional view of international economic history as a series of cyclical transitions among hegemonic powers. Instead, he explores the longstanding interactive role of private and public financial institutions in Britain and the United Statesーmost notably the close links between their financial markets, central banks, and monetary and fiscal policies. He shows that America’s unparalleled post-WWII financial power was facilitated, and in important ways constrained, by British capitalism, as the United States often had to work with and through British politicians, officials, and bankers to achieve its vision of a liberal economic order. Transatlantic integration and competition spurred the rise of the financial sector, an increased reliance on debt, a global easing of regulation, the ascendance of monetarism, and the transition to neoliberalism.</p> <p>From the gold standard to the recent global financial crisis and beyond*, The Political Economy of the Special Relationship* recasts the history of global finance through the prism of Anglo-American development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The New NDP Moderation, Modernization, and Political Marketing【電子書籍】[ David McGrane ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>The New NDP</em> is the definitive account of the evolution of the New Democratic Party’s political marketing strategy in the early twenty-first century. In 2011, the federal NDP achieved its greatest electoral success ? becoming the official opposition under Jack Layton’s leadership. David McGrane argues that the key to the party’s electoral success of 2011 lies in the moderation of its ideology and modernization of its campaign structures. Those changes brought the party closer to governing than ever before but ultimately not into power. McGrane then poses a difficult question: Was remaking the NDP message and revitalizing its campaign model the right choice after all, considering it fell to its perennial third-party spot in 2015? <em>The New NDP</em> examines Canada’s NDP at a pivotal time in its history and provides lessons for progressive parties on how to win elections in the age of the internet, big data, and social media.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

1984 Big Brother Is Watching You - A Political Sci-Fi Dystopia【電子書籍】[ George Orwell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>George Orwell's 1984 is a dystopian novel that explores the dangers of totalitarianism and the erosion of individual autonomy in a surveillance state. Written in a bleak and prophetic style, Orwell's use of vivid imagery creates a sense of foreboding and unease throughout the novel. 1984 is a powerful commentary on the potential consequences of unchecked government power and the manipulation of language and truth. Orwell's work is often compared to other dystopian classics such as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, but stands out for its stark portrayal of a bleak and oppressive future. The novel's relevance and impact continue to resonate with readers today, making it a timeless and thought-provoking work of literature. George Orwell's own experiences as a journalist and political commentator during the early 20th century informed his writing of 1984. His observations of totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments in Europe influenced the themes and tone of the novel, adding a sense of authenticity and urgency to the narrative. Orwell's commitment to exposing truth and defending individual freedom shines through in 1984, making it a seminal work in the genre of dystopian fiction. I highly recommend 1984 to readers who enjoy thought-provoking and challenging literature that explores timeless themes of power, control, and resistance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Economy of Science, Technology, and Innovation in China Policymaking, Funding, Talent, and Organization【電子書籍】[ Yutao Sun ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>There are a variety of reasons underlying the remarkable development of science and technology (S&T), and innovation in post-1978 China. This book seeks to achieve an understanding of such development from an institutional or a political economy perspective. Departing from the literature of S&T and innovation studies that treats innovation as a market or enterprise's behavior in Schumpeter's sense, Sun and Cao argue that it involves politics, institutions, and the role of the state. In particular, they examine how the Chinese state has played its visible role in making innovation policies, allocating funding for R&D programs, making efforts to attract talent, and organizing critical S&T programs. This book appeals to scholars in S&T and innovation policy, political economy, innovation governance, and China studies as well as policymakers and business executives.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Moral Political Economy Present, Past, and Future【電子書籍】[ Federica Carugati ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Economies - and the government institutions that support them - reflect a moral and political choice, a choice we can make and remake. Since the dawn of industrialization and democratization in the late eighteenth century, there has been a succession of political economic frameworks, reflecting changes in technology, knowledge, trade, global connections, political power, and the expansion of citizenship. The challenges of today reveal the need for a new moral political economy that recognizes the politics in political economy. It also requires the redesign of our social, economic, and governing institutions based on assumptions about humans as social beings rather than narrow self-serving individualists. This Element makes some progress toward building a new moral political economy by offering both a theory of change and some principles for institutional (re)design.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
