What happened to the Republic? STOP THE IDOLATRY-STOP THE MADNESS! (from Plato) "All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince." "Excess of liberty, whether it lies in State or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery." "Democracy leads to anarchy, which is ...             The Opium of the Intellectuals10 reviews Raymond Aron Transaction Publishers, 2001 A book against all extremists Raymond Aron's famous work is more relevant than ever before. His basic thesis is that intellectuals and politicians should dare to question and even destroy their ideology, if it drives them to do things which they accuse their ideological "opponents" of doing. Today, we see two of those ideologies at work, which Aron would abhorr: Islamic radicalism, and Christian Americanism. Both ideologies ...             The God of the Machine4 reviews Isabel Paterson, Stephen D. Cox Transaction Publishers, 1993 One of the most important books of the 20th Century! God of the Machine was my first clue that history could be more than a boring recitation of names and dates. Paterson looks at the whole sweep of history, from ancient to contemporary, and relates it to the ideas and principles of freedom. Her central concern is to discover the political forms which freedom and civilization require. Her central unifying concept of "the long circuit of energy ...             Ships without a Shore: America's Undernurtured Children Anne Pierce Transaction Publishers, 2008 Childhood in America has changed, and not for the better. From day care for babies, to the exhausting array of activities for children, to the storm of lurid and violent shows now deemed appropriate for the young, to the expectation that teenagers build resumes, childhood has been thoroughly redefined. Anne R. Pierce argues that this radical re-definition has been embraced with remarkably little discussion about what children, by nature, need. ...             Economic Theory1 review Transaction Publishers, 2007 Deepening your understanding in microeconomics This book is very innovative in the sense that some concepts taken for granted are challenged. For instance, even if the consumer behaves irrationally, the demand tends to be negatively inclined, because the resources are scarce. Sometimes, the book gets very difficult, and the reader has to derive some equations. It is very interesting the presentation of the creative theory of allocation of ...             The Motivation to Work1 review Frederick Herzberg, Bernard Mausner, ... Transaction Publishers, 1993 Basis for my research Not only did I include this in the literature review portion of my research project on retention and turnover, but it really formed the basis of several aspects of my research on turnover and worker satisfaction. I enjoyed it so much after borrowing from the library and reading it that I had to have a copy for myself. Many are quick to reject Herzberg's two-factor theory, but it's hard to go ...             The Theory of Economic Development: An Inquiry into Profits, Capital, Credit, Interest, and the Business ...4 reviews Joseph A. Schumpeter Transaction Publishers, 1982 Schumpeter's explanation of economic progress This book provides a useful corrective to some of the shortcomings of the so-called Austrian theory of Capital and the Business Cycle. Schumpeter, who studied under the great Austrian economists Bohm-Bawerk, was too much of an independent thinker to be part of an economic movement or school. The Theory of Economic Development is his declaration of independence from Austrian capital theory. In ...             We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear: Intimations of their Immortality7 reviews Alston Chase Transaction Publishers, 2008 The Deepest Bonds On one level, this is a book about the Chases' retreat to Montana wilderness and their discovery of the treasures around them, including the Jack Russell Terriers they began to acquire. But it runs deeper than that, and explores what dogs are and need to be, and how breeders are ruining them by heeding human criteria, such as form and size, and ignoring the genetic traits that keep a breed viable ...             On Thermonuclear War6 reviews Herman Kahn Transaction Publishers, 2007 Unfortunately someone has to think of these things Herman Kahn has had many epithets hurled at him in his day. It is even rumored that Stanley Kubrick based his Dr. Strangelove character after him. But the truth is he does a job someone has to do when countries possess nuclear weapons. In this book Kahn discusses the unthinkable: how would a nuclear war be fought and what would be the consequences. He does this in the only way it can be ...             African Presence in Early Europe (Journal of African Civilizations)12 reviews Transaction Publishers, 1986 Hit Dogs up in Heah! African/Black people are the original humans. Everyone else are the children of African people no matter what your physical being is. It is what it is. This is a great book. I am so happy that people of African descent are beginning to expose the truth. In fact, Europe was the last place to be peopled by the Africans.             Fire in the Minds of Men5 reviews James Billington Transaction Publishers, 1999 The firey embers of the Revolutionary Faith still haunt us.. ~Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith~ is an intriguing intellectual history that traces the developments of the so called revolutionary faith. The tumultuous upheavals and violent revolutions of the twentieth century were spawned by revolutionary ideologies fomented in the nineteenth century. These secular ideologies became full-fledged secular surrogates for religious ...             The Modern Corporation and Private Property2 reviews Adolph Berle, Gardiner Means Transaction Publishers, 1991 The Unvarnished Truth About 6 years ago I visited the White Eagle Conference Center in beautiful central New York. This is a quaint place that must have been a real marquee in its time. On one of their obviously long under used book shelves (seemed like nothing had been touched for at least 2 decades) I noticed this book, an original copyrighted 1932 version. I couldn't put it down. It presented a thoroughly well ...             The Soul of Creative Writing Richard Goodman Transaction Publishers, 2008 The Soul of Creative Writing is a tribute to language and to its potentials. It explores the elements of language, style, rhythm, sound, and the choice of the right word. Richard Goodman paints an image of how language can produce a life and meaning that otherwise cannot exist in the symbols themselves. Goodman's stunningly creative collection was written after a lifetime of working and struggling with language. He collects rich examples from ...             Death by Government17 reviews R. J. Rummel Transaction Publishers, 1997 The Most Important History Book You've Never Heard Of . And with reason. There is none of the sacrifice, drama or nobility reported in battles. It's not about Thermopylae or Gettysburg. This is an account of what humanity has done to itself--and continues to this day. It's a book on comparitive demonology. One almost gets the impression that a soldier ripping a baby from his mother's arms, tossing it in the air and catching it on the point of his ...             The Phantom Public (Library of Conservative Thought)1 review Walter Lippmann Transaction Publishers, 1993 A plea for spectator democracy. Unfortunately this text is not nearly as popular as Lippmann's precursor work "Public Opinion". It's a classic of the elite nihilistic attitude towards the masses, astoundingly pessimistic, Lippmann puts into language suited for the very common person a total denunciation of that person's abilities. His logic is not very strong though on many occasions, such as when he goes on about how we are ...             Epistemics and Economics: A Critique of Economic Doctrines G. L. S. Shackle Transaction Publishers, 1991             Environmental Justice: International Discourses in Political Economy, Energy and Environmental Policy ... John Byrne, Leigh Glover, ...
