Sinopse

Political Rivalries explores how clashes between political leaders have indelibly shaped nations. It examines how these conflicts influence elections, policy-making, and national identity, offering insights into the dynamics that continue to shape our political landscape. These rivalries, often driven by personal animosities or ideological differences, manifest in strategic maneuvering and public discourse, ultimately impacting enacted policies. One intriguing aspect is how these conflicts, while often viewed negatively, can foster innovation through the competition of ideas, serving as catalysts for significant societal shifts.

 
The book analyzes specific historical case studies, such as the rivalries between Hamilton and Jefferson, scrutinizing their origins, strategies, and consequences. It uses primary documents, speeches, and policy papers, alongside quantitative data like voting records, to support its analysis. The book progresses from introducing core concepts of political rivalry to analyzing historical cases and then examining modern conflicts like Bush versus Gore, to determine if historical patterns persist. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between personal ambition, ideological conviction, and political opportunity in shaping political history.

In this penetrating public talk, J. Krishnamurti explores the many pressures that shape and burden the human mind: fear, ambition, authority, tradition, conflict and the constant demand to become something other than we are. 
He asks whether the brain can ever be completely free from psychological pressure—not through escape, discipline or belief, but through a clear understanding of thought itself. With characteristic insight, Krishnamurti invites the listener to observe how conditioning operates and to discover whether true freedom can arise through direct perception. 
A profound enquiry into the nature of consciousness, inner conflict and the possibility of living with clarity, intelligence and freedom.

American households are awash in expensive credit card debt. But where did all this debt come from? In this history of the rise of postwar American finance, Sean H. Vanatta shows how bankers created our credit card economy and, with it, the indebted nation we know today. 
 
 
  
America's consumer debt machine was not inevitable. In the years after World War II, state and federal regulations ensured that many Americans enjoyed safe banks and inexpensive credit. Bankers, though, grew restless amid restrictive rules that made profits scarce. They experimented with new services and new technologies. They settled on credit cards, and in the 1960s mailed out reams of high-interest plastic to build a debt industry from scratch. 
 
 
  
In the 1960s and 70s consumers fought back, using federal and state policy to make credit cards safer and more affordable. But bankers found ways to work around local rules. Beginning in 1980, Citibank and its peers relocated their card plans to South Dakota and Delaware, states with the weakest consumer regulations, creating "on-shore" financial havens and drawing consumers into an exploitative credit economy over which they had little control. We live in the world these bankers made.
