Sinossi

In "Address to the People of the United States, Held at Lexington, July 1855," the anonymous author delivers a compelling oration that addresses the pressing social and political issues of the mid-19th century. The book stands as a crucial historical document, capturing the fervent patriotic spirit and the prevailing sentiments around issues such as civil rights, governance, and the moral imperatives of the time. Stylistically, the work is imbued with rhetorical eloquence, employing persuasive appeals that echo the great traditions of American rhetoric while illuminating the socio-political landscape in the wake of the nascent abolitionist movement and westward expansion. The choice of anonymity serves as an intriguing backdrop, inviting speculation about the author'Äôs identity and motivations. The mid-1800s were rife with social upheaval, and the author'Äôs voice reflects a consciousness engaged with the democratic ideals only recently enshrined in the nation'Äôs founding documents. This text not only seeks to galvanize contemporary audiences but also to serve as a beacon for future generations grappling with similar dilemmas. I highly recommend this book to scholars and general readers alike who are interested in American history, political advocacy, and the evolution of public discourse. Its rich context and eloquent prose invite critical reflection on enduring themes of freedom and equality, making it a valuable addition to the study of American literary and political history.

Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts -...

Jeremy L. Wallace

A unique analysis of the numbers that came to define Chinese politics and how this quantification evolved over time. 
 
 
 
For decades, a few numbers came to define Chinese politics—until those numbers did not count what mattered and what they counted did not measure up. Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts argues that the Chinese government adopted a system of limited, quantified vision in order to survive the disasters unleashed by Mao Zedong's ideological leadership. Jeremy Wallace explains how that system worked and analyzes how the problems that accumulated in its blind spots led Xi Jinping to take drastic action. Xi's neopolitical turn—aggressive anti-corruption campaigns, reassertion of party authority, and personalization of power—is an attempt fix the problems of the prior system, as well as a hedge against an inability to do so. The book argues that while of course dictators stay in power through coercion and cooptation, they also do so by convincing their populations and themselves of their right to rule. Quantification is one tool in this persuasive arsenal, but it comes with its own perils.

Neoliberalism Unveiled -...

Arlo Holders

Neoliberalism is a term that has been widely used in academic, political, and economic discussions, yet its exact definition often varies depending on the context. Broadly, neoliberalism refers to a set of economic and political policies that emphasize the role of free markets in achieving economic prosperity, social well-being, and individual freedom. At its core, neoliberalism promotes the idea that markets should operate with minimal interference from the state, and that individuals should be free to pursue their economic interests without governmental restrictions.
The roots of neoliberalism can be traced back to the early 20th century, particularly to the ideas of economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. These thinkers were critical of state intervention in the economy and argued that government control of markets often led to inefficiency and loss of individual freedoms. Hayek’s influential work, The Road to Serfdom (1944), warned against the dangers of central planning and collectivism, which he believed could lead to authoritarianism. Similarly, Friedman, through his advocacy for monetarism and the reduction of government spending, pushed for policies that emphasized the importance of individual choice and market forces over state control. Their ideas laid the intellectual foundation for what would later become neoliberalism.
Neoliberalism as a political and economic force began to take shape during the 1970s as many Western economies faced economic stagnation and rising inflation, often referred to as stagflation. Traditional Keynesian approaches, which advocated for government intervention to manage demand and stabilize economies, appeared to fail in addressing these new challenges. In response, neoliberal ideas gained traction, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom.
