The Jewish State

Theodor Herzl

Sinopse

In "The Jewish State," Theodor Herzl presents a profound and pioneering exploration of Jewish nationalism and the urgent need for a sovereign state for the Jewish people. Written in a direct and impassioned style, the book outlines Herzl's vision of political Zionism, arguing that the establishment of a Jewish homeland is vital for the safety and autonomy of Jewish communities facing persistent anti-Semitism. Contextually situated at the turn of the 20th century, the work encapsulates the socio-political climate of Europe, where Jews experienced growing hostility, offering both a manifesto and a practical blueprint for achieving statehood in Palestine. Theodor Herzl, a journalist and playwright originally from Budapest, was deeply moved by the Dreyfus Affair, which exposed the rampant anti-Semitism in Europe. This personal and societal crisis galvanized Herzl, motivating him to explore the political avenues available to secure Jewish self-determination. His background in law and his experiences in journalism informed his articulate arguments and strategic vision, making him a seminal figure in the Zionist movement. "The Jewish State" is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of Israeli statehood and the complexities of Jewish identity. Herzl's work not only influences Zionist thought but also resonates in contemporary discussions of nationalism, making this text a critical piece of literature for scholars and lay readers alike.

State of the Union 1985

Ronald Reagan

The 1985 State of the Union Address delivered February 6, 1985, on Reagan’s 74th birthday, reports the strongest economic growth in 34 years, 3-year inflation of 3.9%, and more citizens working than ever before.  Despite progress Reagan notes “millions in our inner cities who long for real jobs, safe neighborhoods, and schools that truly teach” and people around the world “who struggle to break free from totalitarianism”.  
“Our economy is not getting older and weaker; it's getting younger and stronger.” Reagan calls for further tax cuts to make America the investment capital of the world. He calls for enterprise zones, rejects policies that break up families and increase dependency, and says that “blacks, Hispanics, and all minorities will not have full and equal power until they have full economic power.” 
“National security is government's first responsibility”. We “only have a military-industrial complex until a time of danger, and then it becomes the arsenal of democracy.” Reagan advocates the Strategic Defense Initiative against ballistic missiles as “the most hopeful possibility of the nuclear age” and looks forward to “the day when nuclear weapons are banned from this Earth forever.” Some say it will take a long time. The “answer to that is: Let’s get started.” 
“Many countries in east Asia and the Pacific have few resources other than the enterprise of their own people. But through low tax rates and free markets they've soared ahead of centralized economies.” … “We've seen the benefits of free trade and lived through the disasters of protectionism. Tonight I ask all our trading partners, developed and developing alike, to join us in a new round of trade negotiations to expand trade and competition and strengthen the global economy …”

The Ethiopian Great Famine of...

Sarah Willards

The Ethiopian Great Famine of 2000 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of a complex and interconnected set of factors rooted in the country's historical, environmental, and political landscape. To understand the origins of this crisis, it is essential to look back at Ethiopia’s long history of food insecurity and vulnerability to famine. While droughts have long been a natural part of Ethiopia’s climate cycles, the frequency and impact of famine have often been magnified by human elements, particularly governance and socio-economic structures.
In the years leading up to 2000, Ethiopia experienced several severe droughts, but the early signs of the looming crisis were evident by the late 1990s. Climatic shifts, including the failure of critical rainy seasons, devastated crop yields and dried up grazing lands, particularly in the country's eastern and southern regions. For a population heavily dependent on subsistence agriculture, these environmental changes meant immediate food shortages and a rapid decline in household resilience. What might have remained a regional hardship quickly evolved into a nationwide emergency due to the lack of sufficient preventative action.
Government response in the early stages was slow and limited by bureaucratic challenges and political distractions, including the aftermath of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war that ended in 2000. Resources were stretched thin, and infrastructure remained underdeveloped, particularly in rural areas where the famine was most severe. Early warning systems existed but were either underutilized or their signals ignored, contributing to the delayed mobilization of aid. The country’s centralization of power also complicated coordination with local authorities, which further hindered rapid intervention efforts.

Crystallizing Public Opinion -...

Edward Bernays, Mitch Horowitz

The Bare-Knuckled Truths of Edward BernaysYou may not know Edward Bernays, but Edward Bernays knows you.  His 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence and manipulate public attitudes over the past century, and the mass media continues that practice today.This seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, offers a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising. Bernays, who believes the public behaves like a herd of animals, shows how ideas about what to eat, and how we should look and dress can easily be put into our heads. He outlines how the masses can be controlled in whatever way the influencer chooses.This original and complete edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.By adapting the ideas that this pioneering PR strategist, who considered himself part of an intellectual and economic elite entitled to govern public opinion and global policy, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” His work explains the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fests and angry social media posts because, as Bernays observed, crowds love a contest. This crowd-contest dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.We know that beliefs can gain sudden popularity based on the public’s proclivity for seven factors: “flight-fear, repulsion-disgust, curiosity-wonder, pugnacity-anger, self-display-elation, self-abasement-subjection, parental-love-tenderness.”Named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine, Bernays’ clients included the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution. This Austrian-born nephew of Sigmund Freud made a study of the different ways to use propaganda.  "Crystallizing Public Opinion" was his first major effort to sell himself and his philosophy of public relations.

Social Conservatism for the...

Andrew Walker

Carl R. Trueman and Other Christian Evangelical Scholars Examine the Life and Work of Renowned Catholic, Social Conservative Thinker Robert P. George
Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, is one of the most influential conservative intellectuals of his generation. Among many honors and accolades, George received the US Presidential Citizens Medal from President George W. Bush and served as chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Though a Catholic himself, George's influence has transcended traditional religious categories to shape evangelical discourse on politics, ethics, and political philosophy throughout his career. 
In this thorough introduction and careful analysis of George's work for Protestant audiences, editor Andrew T. Walker gathers essays from high profile evangelical writers and academics—including Carl R. Trueman, Hunter Baker, Jennifer Marshall Patterson, and Scott Klusendorf—to explore subjects such as faith and reason, George's New Natural Law theory, and how to collaborate across ideological lines. Social Conservatism for the Common Good helps Christian evangelicals understand George's philosophy and apply it to their own cultural engagement and public witness.

- Biography of Influential Conservative Scholar Robert P. George: Explores the breadth of his political philosophy and activism, as well as his relevance to the evangelical community
- Engaging Political Analysis from a Biblical Perspective: With a foreword by US Senator Ben Sasse, this book covers important cultural and academic topics including human rights, social and public ethics, and pro-life issues
- Ideal Resource for Evangelical Scholars and Thinkers: Written for pastors, students, and those interested in politics, this robust book appeals to readers of Carl R. Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
