Ruling America: A History of Wealth and Power in a Democracy

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ruling America offers a panoramic history of our country`s ruling elites from the time of the American Revolution to the present. At its heart is the greatest of American paradoxes: How have tiny minorities of the rich and privileged consistently exercised so much power in a nation built on the notion of rule by the people? In a series of thought-provoking essays, leading scholars of American history examine every epoch in which ruling economic elites have shaped our national experience. They explore how elites came into existence, how they established their dominance over public affairs, and how their rule came to an end. The contributors analyze the elite coalition that led the Revolution and then examine the antebellum planters of the South and the merchant patricians of the North. Later chapters vividly portray the Gilded Age `robber barons,` the great finance capitalists in the age of J. P. Morgan, and the foreign-policy `Establishment` of the post-World War II years.

Ruling Passions: Political Economy in Nineteenth-century America (Issues in Policy History)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In recent years, the Journal of Policy History has emerged as a major venue for scholarship on American policy history in the period after 1900. Indeed, it is for this reason that it is often praised as the leading outlet for scholarship on American political history in the world. Only occasionally, however, has it featured essays on the early republic, the Civil War, or the post-Civil War era. And when it has, the essays have often focused on partisan electioneering rather than on governmental institutions. The rationale for this special issue of the Journal of Policy History is to expand the intellectual agenda of policy history backward in time so as to embrace more fully the history of governmental institutions in the period before 1900. The six essays that follow contain much that will be new even for specialists in nineteenth-century American policy history, yet they are written in a style that is intended to be accessible to college undergraduates and historians unfamiliar with… [detailed...]

Christopher Kelly
Ruling the Later Roman Empire

2006 y.
Publisher: Belknap Press
Description: In this highly original work, Christopher Kelly paints a remarkable picture of running a superstate. He portrays a complex system of government openly regulated by networks of personal influence and the payment of money. Focusing on the Roman Empire after Constantine`s conversion to Christianity, Kelly illuminates a period of increasingly centralized rule through an ever more extensive and intrusive bureaucracy. The book opens with a view of its times through the eyes of a high-ranking official in sixth-century Constantinople, John Lydus. His On the Magistracies of the Roman State , the only memoir of its kind to come down to us, gives an impassioned and revealing account of his career and the system in which he worked. Kelly draws a wealth of insight from this singular memoir and goes on to trace the operation of power and influence, exposing how these might be successfully deployed or skillfully diverted by those wishing either to avoid government regulation or to… [detailed...]

Milton L. Mueller
Ruling the Root: Internet Governance and the Taming of Cyberspace

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Ruling the Root , Milton Mueller uses the theoretical framework of institutional economics to analyze the global policy and governance problems created by the assignment of Internet domain names and addresses. `The root` is the top of the domain name hierarchy and the Internet address space. It is the only point of centralized control in what is otherwise a distributed and voluntaristic network of networks. Both domain names and IP numbers are valuable resources, and their assignment on a coordinated basis is essential to the technical operation of the Internet. Mueller explains how control of the root is being leveraged to control the Internet itself in such key areas as trademark and copyright protection, surveillance of users, content regulation, and regulation of the domain name supply industry. Control of the root originally resided in an informally organized technical elite comprised mostly of American computer scientists. As the Internet became… [detailed...]

Ruling the Waves: From the Compass to the Internet, a History of Business and Politics along the Technological Frontier

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Beginning with the development of the compass, Ruling the Waves examines a series of technological revolutions that promised, in their time, to transform the world`s politics and business. With Debora Spar`s gifted storytelling, each chapter readslike an adventure tale as she recounts the histories of the printing press and maps, of the telegraph, radio, and satellite television, of software, encryption, and the advent of digital music. At each of these junctures Spar suggests that invention led to both a wave of commerce and of chaos. Entrepreneurs such as Samuel Morse and Rupert Murdoch carved new markets from the emerging technology and proclaimed that the old rules no longer applied. And for a while, they were right. But eventually--and inevitably--even cowboys need rules: rules of property, rules of coordination, rules of competition. The erstwhile pioneers thus turn to government, lobbying for order and setting the stage for the next wave of discovery. A fascinating… [detailed...]

Rum and Axes: The Rise of a Connecticut Merchant Family, 1795-1850 (Anthropology of Contemporary Issues (Paperback))

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Janet Siskind goes back to the beginnings of industrial capitalism in the United States to better understand the formation of the country`s capitalist culture. She studies the papers and letters of three generations of the Watkinson family. The stories of their lives demonstrate how merchants amassed the capital to become industrial entrepreneurs, organized factories and private corporations, and constructed philanthropic and cultural institutions. The author traces how `upper-class work,` the everyday tasks of organizing and maintaining trade or a system of production, shaped the family`s experience and New England`s culture. The result is an intimate story of social class and capitalism. The reader comes to know several members of this enterprising family, who emigrated from England in 1795. The young women married merchants, their brothers prospered as merchants in Connecticut`s West Indian trade.

Ian Williams
Rum: A Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ian Williams describes in captivating detail how Rum and the molasses that it was made from was to the 18th century what oil is today. Rum was used by the colonists to clear Native American tribes and to buy slaves. To make it, they regularly traded with the enemy French during the Seven Years` War, angering their British masters and setting themselves on the road to Revolution. The regular flow of rum was essential to keeping both armies in the field since soldiers relied on rum to keep up their fighting spirits. Even though the Puritans themselves were fond of rum in quantities that would appall modern day doctors, temperance and Prohibition have obscured the historical role of the `Global Spirit with its warm heart in the Caribbean.` Ian Williams` book triumphantly restores rum`s rightful place in history, taking us across space and time, from its origins in the plantations of Barbados through Puritan and Revolutionary New England, to voodoo rites in modern… [detailed...]

Rum: A Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Rum arguably shaped the modern world. It was to the eighteenth century what oil is to the present, but its significance has been diminished by a misguided sense of old-fashioned morality dating back to Prohibition. In fact, Rum shows that even the Puritans took a shot now and then. Rum, too, was one of the major engines of the American Revolution, a fact often missing from histories of the era. Ian Williams`s book?as biting and multilayered as the drink itself?triumphantly restores rum`s rightful place in history, taking us across space and time, from the slave plantations of seventeenth-century Barbados (the undisputed birthplace of rum) through Puritan and revolutionary New England, to voodoo rites in modern Haiti, where to mix rum with Coke risks invoking the wrath of the gods. He also depicts the showdown between the Bacardi family and Fidel Castro over the control of the lucrative rights to the Havana Club label.
