Sinopse

Meiji Restoration explores Japan's remarkable transformation from a feudal society to a modern global power during the Meiji period (1868-1912). This pivotal era witnessed rapid modernization across all sectors. One key aspect was the strategic dismantling of the old feudal system, which paved the way for a centralized government capable of enacting sweeping reforms. Simultaneously, Japan embraced the Industrial Revolution, adopting Western technologies to rapidly build its economic and military strength. The book examines how Japan navigated the challenges of Western influence while striving to maintain its cultural identity. It highlights the agency and strategic thinking of Japanese leaders who recognized the urgent need for modernization to avoid colonization. The narrative progresses by first establishing the political and social conditions of Tokugawa Japan, and then delves into the establishment of the Meiji government. Later chapters detail industrialization, military restructuring, and cultural shifts, culminating in Japan's emergence as a global force, thus challenging simple narratives of Western imposition.

    Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder- 
    Michael Savage has the cure. 
    With grit, guts, and gusto, talk radio sensation Michael Savage leaves no political turn unstoned as he savages today's most rabid liberalism. In this paperback edition of his third New York Times bestseller, Savage strikes at the root of today's most pressing issues, including: 
    Homeland security: "We need more Patton and less patent leather . . . Real homeland security begins when we arrest, interrogate, jail, or deport known operatives within our own borders . . . One dirty bomb can ruin your whole day." 
    Illegal immigration: "I envision an Oil for Illegals program . . . The president should demand one barrel of oil from Mexico for every illegal that sneaks into our country." 
    Lawsuit abuse: "Lawyers are like red wine. Everything in moderation. Today we have far too many lawyers, and we're suffering from cirrhosis of the economy." 
    "Pure Savage. Very effective, very timely, very hot." American Compass Book Club 
    An accompanying table and appendix are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    The Rule of Law - A Very Short...

    Politicians, judges, and citizens commonly use the phrase "rule of law" to describe some good that flows from a legal system. But what precisely is that good? Even in Aristotle's time, there was no agreement on either its nature, and on whether it counted as an unqualified good. Even now, a core rule-of-law aspiration is that law can constrain how power is flexed. But how or when? Disagreement persists as to whether the rule of law is a matter of how law is used or why it is deployed. In consequence, the World Bank, the leaders of Singapore's one-party state, and the Communist Party in China can all offer their own spins on the concept. 
     
     
     
    By charting these disagreements and showing the overlap and the conflicts between different understandings of the concept, Aziz Z. Huq shows how the rule of law can still be used as an important tool for framing and evaluating the goals and functions of a legal system. He traces the idea's historical origins from ancient Greece to the constitutional theorist Albert Venn Dicey to the economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek. And he explores how that value is coming under pressure from terrorist threats, macroeconomic crisis, pandemics, autocratic populism, and climate change.
