Beschreibung

In "The Instinct of Workmanship and the State of Industrial Arts," Thorstein Veblen explores the intricate relationship between human instinct and industrial productivity, challenging the prevailing economic theories of his time. With a keen analytical lens, Veblen critiques the capitalist framework and its impact on the art of craftsmanship, arguing for the inherent human desire to create and improve. The book employs a rich, analytical style, blending sociology and economics to underscore the significance of workmanship in the industrial age while advocating for a return to a more creative approach to work, rather than viewing it merely as a means of subsistence or profit. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent American economist and social theorist, emerged in a time marked by rapid industrialization and profound social change. His own experiences within the capitalist society and profound interest in social behavior led him to examine how these institutions affected the human capacity for craftsmanship. Veblen's background in both sociology and economics fundamentally shaped his critiques of economic practices, making him a significant figure in the development of institutional economics. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the sociocultural implications of industrial practices today. Veblen's insights resonate with contemporary discussions about the role of creativity and craftsmanship in a technology-driven economy, making this work both timely and relevant.

    Part cultural history, part biography, this is the fascinating story of Richard Wagner's life, influences, gift for storytelling, and artistic revolution, culminating in his dramatic journey to write The Ring Cycle. 
     
    The Ring Cycle is one of the most epic and compelling operas of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Richard Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds—as well as controversy, due to the composer's antisemitic views and popularity with the Nazi party. 
     
    In Wagner and the Creation of the Ring, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to recount the colorful, fascinating, and insightful journey behind the creation of The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many—and horrifies others—and why it still matters today.

    J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, and Roy Cohn were titanic figures in midcentury America, wielding national power in government and the legal system through intimidation and insinuation. Hoover’s FBI thrived on secrecy, threats, and illegal surveillance, while McCarthy and Cohn will forever be associated with the infamous anticommunist smear campaign of the early 1950s, which culminated in McCarthy’s public disgrace during televised Senate hearings. In Gossip Men, Christopher M. Elias takes a probing look at these tarnished figures to reveal a host of startling new connections among gender, sexuality, and national security in twentieth-century American politics. Elias illustrates how these three men solidified their power through the skillful use of deliberately misleading techniques like implication, hyperbole, and photographic manipulation. Just as provocatively, he shows that the American people of the 1950s were particularly primed to accept these coded threats because they were already familiar with such tactics from widely popular gossip magazines. 
     
    By using gossip as a lens to examine profound issues of state security and institutional power, Elias thoroughly transforms our understanding of the development of modern American political culture.
