IMPERIAL GERMANY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: The Background Origins of World War I - Economic Rise as a Fuel for Political Radicalism - Economic Rise and Political Radicalism in Imperial Germany

Thorstein Veblen

Summary

In "IMPERIAL GERMANY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: The Background Origins of World War I - Economic Rise as a Fuel for Political Radicalism," Thorstein Veblen provides a penetrating examination of the sociopolitical consequences of Germany's rapid industrialization in the late 19th century. Utilizing a distinctive combination of economic analysis and social critique, Veblen delves into how the unprecedented economic growth in Germany not only transformed its social fabric but also sowed the seeds of political radicalism that would contribute to the tensions igniting World War I. His incisive prose illuminates the nexus between economic factors and political upheaval, situated within the broader context of European imperialism and industrial competition. Veblen, an influential economist and social critic known for his critical views on capitalism and consumer culture, draws from both his expertise in economics and his profound understanding of social dynamics. His own experiences as an immigrant and his academic background at prestigious institutions informed his perspectives on the interplay between economic structures and social behaviors, ultimately leading him to explore how these dynamics precipitated nationalistic fervor in pre-war Germany. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between economic advancement and political instability. Veblen's thoughtful analysis ensures readers gain insight into how the forces of industrial growth contributed to one of history's most catastrophic conflicts, making it a significant read for students of history, economics, and political science alike.

Charles Wheeler - Witness to the...

Shirin Wheeler

A look at the major events of the twentieth century through the eyes of the man who witnessed it all: celebrated BBC foreign correspondent Charles Wheeler. This audiobook is narrated by his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, and features original audio from Charles' broadcasting days. Charles Wheeler, the BBC's longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain's greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio and television from most of the world's trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the twentieth century, he had - as a BBC manager noted after the shooting of George Wallace, Presidential candidate and Governor of Alabama, on 15 May 1972, 'a knack of being in the right place at the right time'.  It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction.Wheeler's investigative skill and sense of judgement made him one of the most authoritative reporters of his generation. But what was it like to have been witness to the events that shaped our modern world? In this book - part memoir, part history, part reflection - his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, examines her father's journalistic legacy and brings her personal knowledge to bear on the project. She will tell the story of her father: a patient listener and forensic interrogator who was driven by curiosity and passion to report and expose injustice, and above all to give a voice to people ignored or unheard by many.
