The American Crisis - Stirring Words of Encouragement: A Historical Collection on Revolutionary Independence and Patriotism

Thomas Paine

Beschreibung

In "The American Crisis," Thomas Paine delivers a series of compelling pamphlets that serve as a rallying cry for the American Revolution during its most tumultuous moments. Written in a clear, persuasive style, Paine employs rhetorical strategies that invoke both reason and emotion, making his arguments accessible and impactful. The pamphlets address the challenges facing the colonies, emphasizing themes of resilience, freedom, and the moral imperative of independence, while also critiquing complacency and advocating for greater commitment to the revolutionary cause. Paine's work is situated within the broader context of Enlightenment thought and republican ideals, positioning it as both a historical document and a foundational text of American political philosophy. Thomas Paine, an English-born political theorist and activist, played a pivotal role in the emergence of American democratic ideals. His experiences with oppression in England and his belief in the rights of individuals shaped his staunch advocacy for liberty and self-governance. Paine's prior work, including "Common Sense," established him as a revolutionary figure, and "The American Crisis" further demonstrates his commitment to political activism during the formative years of the United States. Recommended not only for its historical significance but also for its elegant prose and enduring message, "The American Crisis" is essential reading for those interested in the philosophy of revolution, the struggle for independence, and the birth of American identity. Paine'Äôs unapologetic passion and incisive logic resonate powerfully, making this a pivotal text for understanding the spirit of the American Revolution.

Bad Hombres - How Hispanics Will...

Steve Cortes

As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
 
 
 
Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

A Short History of Financial...

John Kenneth Galbraith

The world-renowned economist offers "dourly irreverent analyses of financial debacle from the tulip craze of the seventeenth century to the recent plague of junk bonds." —The Atlantic. 
 
 
 
With incomparable wisdom, skill, and wit, world-renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith traces the history of the major speculative episodes in our economy over the last three centuries. Exposing the ways in which normally sane people display reckless behavior in pursuit of profit, Galbraith asserts that our "notoriously short" financial memory is what creates the conditions for market collapse. By recognizing these signs and understanding what causes them we can guard against future recessions and have a better hold on our country's (and our own) financial destiny.

No Island of Sanity - Paula...

Vincent Bugliosi

In a series called "The Library of Contemporary Thought," top opinion-makers explore the most provocative, fascinating, and momentous issues that have occurred in the United States. In this first volume, famed Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi takes on the Supreme Court. Considered by some to be an island of sanity surrounded by a sea of insanity that is our society, the Supreme Court has increasingly come under scrutiny for some dubious decisions.
In this compelling work, Bugliosi puts the Supreme Court on trial for its handling of Paula Jones vs. Bill Clinton. The author argues that the right of a president to be free of a private lawsuit while in office outweighs a plaintiff's interest in having his or her case brought expediently to trial—regardless of a case's supposed merit.

Freedom of Speech - Navigating...

Marcus Kline

Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere.
The origins of free speech can be traced back to philosophical and political thinkers of the Enlightenment era, who emphasized the importance of reason, individual rights, and personal liberty. Thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, and John Stuart Mill argued that the free exchange of ideas was essential for the flourishing of society, allowing for the progress of knowledge, the correction of errors, and the protection of political freedom. These ideas laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of free expression as a fundamental human right.
However, the right to free speech is not absolute. Throughout history, the boundaries of this freedom have been tested by a wide range of societal, political, and ethical concerns. From the regulation of speech in times of war or national security threats to the ongoing debates over hate speech, defamation, and misinformation, societies have struggled to find a balance between protecting free expression and safeguarding the common good. This tension continues to shape the debate surrounding free speech, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like social media, which have transformed the landscape of communication.
