Excerpt from American Democracy Versus Prussian Marxism a Study in the Nature and Results of Purposive or Beneficial Government Once more, the world begs us to tell it the end for which our people have striven during one hundred and fifty years; the purposes which held us firm; the star which beckoned us on; the thing which differentiates our history from all others; and, as well, the pitfalls and other obstacles which other peoples must meet if they travel our democratic road, and which we should have charted as we blazed the way through the wilderness into which every people emerges after a revolution.

Excerpt from American Democracy Versus Prussian Marxism a Study in the Nature and Results of Purposive or Beneficial Government American Democracy, because it is a great living and growing organism, has a law of Life. That Life has its law of growth which determines the manner and extent of the growth and development of the living thing. These two laws can be understood and measured only as we study and understand how American Democracy has shown its life-giving force, and what were its antecedents, its purposes, its advantages and disadvantages, and what results its law of growth has wrought in and through that Democracy. This Life can be destroyed by disease or decay within, or by a greater force from without. Prussian Marxism has spread throughout the world. Therefore it, too, has its laws of Life and growth which must also be discovered and understood through its antecedents, purposes, surroundings, operations and results. The only way in which we can fully understand the fundamental differences between Democracy and Prussian Marxism or Socialism is to study and compare their laws of Life and growth, and their purposes and results when actually put into operation. We must also determine whether the growth of either of these forces implies the choking out of the life of the other.

Progress requires the conquest of nature. Or does it? This startling new account overturns conventional interpretations of Marx and in the process outlines a more rational approach to the current environmental crisis. Marx, it is often assumed, cared only about industrial growth and the development of economic forces. John Bellamy Foster examines Marx's neglected writings on capitalist agriculture and soil ecology, philosophical naturalism, and evolutionary theory. He shows that Marx, known as a powerful critic of capitalist society, was also deeply concerned with the changing human relationship to nature. Marx's Ecology covers many other thinkers, including Epicurus, Charles Darwin, Thomas Malthus, Ludwig Feuerbach, P. J. Proudhon, and William Paley. By reconstructing a materialist conception of nature and society, Marx's Ecology challenges the spiritualism prevalent in the modern Green movement, pointing toward a method that offers more lasting and sustainable solutions to the ecological crisis.

Little over 200 years ago, a quarter of a century of warfare with an 'outlaw state' brought the great powers of Europe to their knees. That state was the revolutionary democracy of France. Since then, there has been a remarkable transformation in the way democracy is understood and valued - today, it is the non-democractic states that are seen as rogue regimes. Now, Christopher Hobson explores democracy's remarkable rise from obscurity to centre stage in contemporary international relations.

Originally published in 1960, The Constitution of Liberty delineates and defends the principles of a free society and traces the origin, rise, and decline of the rule of law. Casting a skeptical eye on the growth of the welfare state, Hayek examines the challenges to freedom posed by an ever expanding government as well as its corrosive effect on the creation, preservation, and utilization of knowledge. In distinction to those who confidently call for the state to play a greater role in society, Hayek puts forward a nuanced argument for prudence. Guided by this quality, he elegantly demonstrates that a free market system in a democratic polity—under the rule of law and with strong constitutional protections of individual rights—represents the best chance for the continuing existence of liberty. Striking a balance between skepticism and hope, Hayek’s profound insights remain strikingly vital half a century on. This definitive edition of The Constitution of Liberty will give a new generation the opportunity to learn from Hayek’s enduring wisdom.

In Divided in Unity, Andreas Glaeser examines why east and west Germans continue to feel deeply divided and develops an analytical theory of identity formation, which offers a middle ground between modernist theories of a unitary self and postmodernist theories of a fragmented self."--BOOK JACKET.
