Ellen Frank
The Raw Deal: How Myths and Misinformation About the Deficit, Inflation, and Wealth Impoverish America

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Americans have fallen for the ticker tape. We watch our portfolios, happily or nervously. We know there were a few bad apples at Enron and WorldCom, but we also know that: The advent of mutual funds, low-cost brokerages, and the Internet has meant that the stock market is now more transparent, honest, and accessible to the small investor than ever before, 401(k)s give the individual responsibility and control over their retirement savings, and that makes us more responsible citizens, Federal deficits are bad for the economy, especially, somehow, when they_re linked to social spending, and Controlling inflation is the most important task of our economic policy. But as economist Ellen Frank shows us, what we know is wrong. Over the past twenty years, Americans have been fed a mash of confusing financial and economic information. This information has distorted popular understanding of how the economy really operates and camouflaged the transformation of economic policy from a tool… [detailed...]

Joe Conason
The Raw Deal: How the Bush Republicans Plan to Destroy Social Security and the Legacy of the New Deal

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Social Security is facing the most serious, well-financed, and determined threat to its existence since its inception in 1935. For Americans to make sense of the barrage of conflicting messages on the subject, it`s necessary to understand who is behind the campaign to `reform` Social Security, what the campaign aims to achieve, and how it misrepresents its goals. Best-selling author Joe Conason exposes why and how this is happening. The Raw Deal explores the Right`s privatization goals, Bush`s hard-fought privatization campaign (built on a stacked `study`), the corporate interests behind the plan, the media campaign to undermine confidence in Social Security, and how the swindle can be stopped. Conason`s no-apologies, no-nonsense approach clears up the myriad misperceptions surrounding this important, confusing issue and gets to the truth about the big Social Security bluff. [detailed...]

Gordon Graham
The Re-enchantment of the World: Art versus Religion

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `The Re-enchantment of the World` is a philosophical exploration of the role of art and religion as sources of meaning in an increasingly material world dominated by science. Gordon Graham takes as his starting point Max Weber`s idea that contemporary Western culture is marked by a `disenchantment of the world` - the loss of spiritual value in the wake of religion`s decline and the triumph of the physical and biological sciences. Relating themes in Hegel, Nietzsche, Schleiermacher, Schopenhauer, and Gadamer to topics in contemporary philosophy of the arts, Graham explores the idea that art, now freed from its previous service to religion, has the potential to re-enchant the world. In so doing, he develops an argument that draws on the strengths of both `analytical` and `continental` traditions of philosophical reflection. The opening chapter examines ways in which human lives can be made meaningful as a background to the debates surrounding secularization and secularism…. [detailed...]

John W. Sloan
The Reagan Effect: Economics and Presidential Leadership

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: His message was simple, repeated almost like a mantra: cut taxes, cut spending, reduce bureaucracy, deregulate. His followers saw him as a conservative revolutionary, his detractors saw him as Mr. Magoo. Now that Reagan`s achievements and failures have become more obvious, it is time for a new nonpartisan appraisal of his leadership and its impact on the nation. That is precisely what John Sloan delivers. Sloan focuses especially on the questions raised in the highly polemical debates between conservatives and liberals concerning Reagan`s economic policies. He gives equal time to both sides, showing how liberals were wrong in their predictions of gloom, while conservatives continue to grant Reagan more credit and status than he deserves. The Reagan Effect reveals how the failures of the Carter administration set the stage for Reagan`s success, describes how he united diverse conservative factions, and shows how Reagan`s personality affected his decision-making style.

Description: When Olanike Adebayo left her native Nigeria to attend university in England, no travel guide could predict the culture shock awaiting her. From the moment she stepped off the plane, Olanike found herself thrust into a new world that was foreign on nearly every front. Her struggle to adapt goes far beyond learning a new language and adjusting to English weather: from shopping and hailing a cab to learning British colloquialisms and adjusting to the laid-back atmosphere of university life. She was pleasantly surprised to discover that England was not an island of dapperly dressed white people, as her studies back home in Africa had led her to expect. Instead, she found herself part of a teeming multicultural assemblage, from whom she learned as much outside the classroom as she did inside. From her own experiences as an international student, Olanike has crafted both a memoir and a helpful guide to other exchange students contemplating the challenges of studying in the United Kingdom.
