The Anti-Capitalism Reader: Imagining a Geography of Opposition

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The collapse of Enron and WorldCom and the increasing evidence of corruption at the highest levels of corporate life has opened the door to a remarkable whirlwind of dialogue about the prevailing economic ideology of the post?Cold War era. While traditionally the province of the left, concerns about the legitimacy of market-driven societies are now being voiced by centrists and conservatives, who fear that their livelihoods and their investments are suddenly at the mercy of forces spinning out of control. Enter The Anti-Capitalism Reader, a refreshingly non-doctrinaire anthology of writings and interviews covering much of the intellectual geography of the new anti-market left that has become increasingly visible since anti-capitalist protests rocked the World Trade Organization?s 1999 meeting in Seattle. Featuring essays by Doug Henwood, Naomi Klein, Ali Abunimah, Annalee Newitz, Paul Thomas, Ultra-red, and the Bad Subjects collective?and interviews with Slavoj… [detailed...]

The Anti-Capitalist Dictionary: Movements, Histories and Motivations

2006 y.
Publisher: Fernwood, SIRD, Zed Books
Description: `The Anti-Capitalist Dictionary` is an alternative and a counter-balance to the many political dictionaries that ignore or marginalize the history and influence of anti-capitalist movements. It paints a rich picture of the ideas and issues that inform today`s anti-capitalist activity. Anti-capitalism has existed in many forms and with a variety of names since the advent of capitalism. But this kind of oppositional force has often been ignored, misrepresented or trivialized by many in the mainstream media and academia and by established political parties. In the wake of the protests which started in Seattle in 1999, the continuing dissent around the Bush/Blair regimes, and ongoing commitments to neo-liberalism around the world, the movement continues to flourish. `The Anti-Capitalist Dictionary` is organized in an easily accessible alphabetical format, with self-contained, cross-referenced entries that introduce and explain concepts and issues that are integral to understanding… [detailed...]

The Anti-Communist Manifestos: Four Books That Shaped the Cold War

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The books altered the course of history, the lives behind them have the dark fascination of fiction. The subject of The Anti-Communist Manifestos is four influential books that informed the great political struggle known as the Cold War: Darkness at Noon (1940), by Arthur Koestler, a Hungarian journalist and polymath intellectual, Out of the Night (1941), by Jan Valtin, a German sailor and labor agitator, I Chose Freedom (1946), by Victor Kravchenko, a Soviet engineer, and Witness (1952), by Whittaker Chambers, an American journalist. The authors were ex–Communist Party members whose bitter disillusionment led them to turn on their former allegiance in literary fury. Koestler was a rapist, Valtin a thug. Kravchenko, though not a spy, was forced to live like one in America. Chambers was a prophet without honor in his own land. Three of the four had been underground espionage agents of the Comintern. All contemplated suicide, and two of them achieved it. John V…. [detailed...]

Description: This book examines how the political system of the Phillippines remains dominated by a competitive elite who oppose any significant attempts to address the country`s huge social inequalities. The way out, he argues, is through the wholesale overhaul of the system of governance, leading to a new development strategy based on more, not less, state intervention, the domestic market as the driver of growth, and working together with other countries in the South.

The Anti-Globalization Breakfast Club: Dialogues with the Globally Discontented

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Alternative models for grass roots economic development such as micro-financing are now being widely adopted in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and elsewhere. New views on measuring development such as GDH (gross domestic happiness) have been adopted by Bhutan rather than GDP, and China`s own hybrid approach combining market and planned policy to achieve economic transformation offer new choices for developing countries. All of these are representative of a new wave of thinking that rejects the increasingly discredited policies of the IMF and World Bank. It is easy to criticise the views of activists who take to the street every time the World Bank, IMF, WTO or World Economic Forum meet. However they are driven by hard concerns which are not calling for an end to globalization but a reorientation of what this means. They are challenging notions of accepted economic and business parlance, calling for fair trade rather than just free trade, balanced rather than fast growth, and… [detailed...]

The Anti-Oedipus Papers (Semiotext(e) / Foreign Agents)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `The unconscious is not a theatre, but a factory,` wrote Gilles Deleuze and FA©lix Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (1972), instigating one of the most daring intellectual adventures of the last half-century. Together, the well-known philosopher and the activist-psychiatrist were updating both psychoanalysis and Marxism in light of a more radical and `constructivist` vision of capitalism: `Capitalism is the exterior limit of all societies because it has no exterior limit itself. It works well as long as it keeps breaking down.` Few people at the time believed, as they wrote in the often-quoted opening sentence of Rhizome , that `the two of us wrote Anti-Oedipus together.` They added, `Since each of us was several, that became quite a crowd.` These notes, addressed to Deleuze by Guattari in preparation for Anti-Oedipus , and annotated by Deleuze, substantiate their claim, finally bringing out the factory behind the theatre. They reveal Guattari as an… [detailed...]

Daniel Horowitz
The Anxieties of Affluence: Critiques of American Consumer Culture, 1939-1979

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book charts the reactions of prominent American writers to the unprecedented prosperity of the decades following World War II. It begins with an examination of Lewis Mumford?s wartime call for `democratic` consumption and concludes with an analysis of the origins of President Jimmy Carter?s `malaise` speech of 1979. Between these bookends, Daniel Horowitz documents a broad range of competing views, each in its own way reflective of a deep-seated ambivalence toward consumer culture?a persistent but shifting tension between a commitment to self-restraint and the pursuit of personal satisfaction through the acquisition of commercial goods and experiences. To explain why affluence has caused so much anxiety in America, Horowitz focuses on key works of cultural criticism that stimulated public debate during what many have called the golden age of modern American capitalism. Some of these books, such as John Kenneth Galbraith?s `The Affluent Society,` Rachel… [detailed...]

This captivating novel, her 10th Amelia Peabody tale (following Seeing a Large Cat, 1997), validates her peers` high regard. Prospects for the 1907 excavation season in Egypt seem lackluster for the Emersons, since Professor Emerson, Amelia`s beloved husband, can`t abide the fools who administrate such activities?and makes no secret of that fact. But the family, including their adult son, Ramses, and his foster siblings, Nefret and David, departs for Egypt nevertheless after incidents in London point to the resurfacing of their old nemesis, known as the Master Criminal. The younger generation buys an ancient papyrus from an antiquities dealer and sets in motion a sinister chain of events.

The Ape and the Sushi Master: Cultural Reflections of a Primatologist

2001 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: To watch apes dressed in human clothing and mimicking human manners--an old standby in films and television shows--can make some human viewers uncomfortable, writes the noted primatologist Frans de Waal. Somehow, by doing so, the apes are crossing some line in the sand, a line that speaks to issues of culture, which humans alone are presumed to have. But culture, in de Waal`s estimation, does not mean using an oyster fork properly or attending smart gallery openings. Instead, it `means that knowledge and habits are acquired from others--often, but not always, the older generation.` Culture implies communication and social organization, and in this, he notes, humans by no means have a monopoly. A sushi chef learns by acquiring knowledge and habits from more accomplished masters, but so do chimpanzees learn to wash bananas in jungle streams, and so do birds learn to break open mollusks on the rocks below them. Closely examining anthropocentric theories of culture, de Waal… [detailed...]
