DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe words "left" and "right" often signal a political divide in debates about topics as diverse as abortion, capital punishment, gun control, social welfare, taxation, immigration, and the environment. Despite claims that political polarization is in decline, its persistence suggests that it is inherent to our society. At the same time, variations in the perception of each side indicate that these labels do not fully capture the reality of ideological disagreement. In Left and Right, Christopher Cochrane traces the origins of this political language to the very nature of ideology. What is ideology, what does it look like, and how does it manifest itself in patterns of political disagreement in Western democracies? Drawing on five decades of evidence from political scientists, including public opinion surveys, elite surveys, and content analysis of political party election platforms, Cochrane employs a new method to analyze the structure and evolution of the left/right divide in twenty-one Western countries since 1945. He then delves into the central argument of the book - that the language of left and right describes a meaningful, perceptible, and quantifiable pattern of political disagreement that has persisted over time and around the world. Calling for an adjustment to the way we view Canadian politics, Left and Right opens a window into the world of political ideologies - a world we see every day, but rarely analyze, define, or agree on.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing the collapse of communism and the decline of Marxism, some commentators have claimed that we have reached the 'end of history' and that the distinction between Left and Right can be forgotten. In this book - which was a tremendous success in Italy - Norberto Bobbio challenges these views, arguing that the fundamental political distinction between Left and Right, which has shaped the two centuries since the French Revolution, has continuing relevance today. Bobbio explores the grounds of this elusive distinction and argues that Left and Right are ultimately divided by different attitudes to equality. He carefully defines the nature of equality and inequality in relative rather than absolute terms. Left and Right is a timely and persuasively argued account of the basic parameters of political action and debate in the modern world - parameters which have remained constant despite the pace of social change. The book will be widely read and, as in Italy, it will have an impact far beyond the academic domain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs India approaches its seventieth year of Independence, its people continue to grapple with multiple discourses: a few from the left, a considerable sum from the right and an impressive lot from the centre. This book brings together diverse views from people across a wide spectrum of life-politicians, activists, administrators, artistes, academicians-who offer their idea of India. With a contextual introduction by Nidhi Razdan, this politically charged, argumentative, candid and humorous book opens a window to our understanding of India that largely remained untold and unknown for a long time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMAGA hats, pussy hats. Hijabs, handmaids' bonnets. Safe spaces, safe streets. Voter fraud, voter suppression. George Soros, the Koch Brothers. Live free or die, no justice no peace. See any similarities? If so, you've just violated rule No.1 of turbo-partisan America: That no matter how closely one side's position, pet hate, personal taste, or language mirrors the other's, any claim of left-right equivalence is patently false, and probably deeply offensive. But what if the false equivalence isn't actually false, and what both sides really need is a bracing slap of refined bothsiderism? The Little Book of Left-Right Equivalence is that slap, a no-holds-barred catalog of interchangeable idiocies, double dual-standards, and two-way u-turns that shows no favor and takes no prisoners. Set in short couplets rather than traditional book prose, and offering an unusual mix of serious and satirical - and highbrow and lowbrow - it is guaranteed to outrage, delight and enlighten.
