DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Human Costs of the War Why doesn't Europe function? This, in substance, is the question which puzzled America has been asking all through the last half of 1919. Why must 1919 go down in history, as M. Brieux says, as "a lost year"? With huge excess stores of food and products, why does trade delay? Why does foreign exchange jump up and down like the temperature of a "flu" patient? When Mr. Hoover returned last July he was quoted as saying that, unless Europe began promptly to produce, there would be starvation in unheard-of proportions this winter. Now we hear that it is at hand. Did they deliberately choose starvation, or did they drift into it, or is there still another and perhaps a more valid reason? Production implies producers. Who and where and in what condition are the producers of Europe? We hear that Belgium and England are making real progress toward production. Has this any relation to the fact that their military losses, especially those of Belgium, were much less in proportion than those of some other countries? For five and a half years we have scarcely opened a morning paper without reading a head-line telling of the sufferings of some new group of victims of the war.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn recent decades, America has been waging a veritable war on fat in which not just public health authorities, but every sector of society is engaged in constant "fat talk" aimed at educating, badgering, and ridiculing heavy people into shedding pounds. We hear a great deal about the dangers of fatness to the nation, but little about the dangers of today’s epidemic of fat talk to individuals and society at large. The human trauma caused by the war on fat is disturbing—and it is virtually unknown. How do those who do not fit the "ideal" body type feel being the object of abuse, discrimination, and even revulsion? How do people feel being told they are a burden on the healthcare system for having a BMI outside what is deemed—with little solid scientific evidence—"healthy"? How do young people, already prone to self-doubt about their bodies, withstand the daily assault on their body type and sense of self-worth? In Fat-Talk Nation, Susan Greenhalgh tells the story of today’s fight against excess pounds by giving young people, the campaign’s main target, an opportunity to speak about experiences that have long lain hidden in silence and shame.Featuring forty-five autobiographical narratives of personal struggles with diet, weight, "bad BMIs," and eating disorders, Fat-Talk Nation shows how the war on fat has produced a generation of young people who are obsessed with their bodies and whose most fundamental sense of self comes from their size. It reveals that regardless of their weight, many people feel miserable about their bodies, and almost no one is able to lose weight and keep it off. Greenhalgh argues that attempts to rescue America from obesity-induced national decline are damaging the bodily and emotional health of young people and disrupting families and intimate relationships.Fatness today is not primarily about health, Greenhalgh asserts; more fundamentally, it is about morality and political inclusion/exclusion or citizenship. To unpack the complexity of fat politics today, Greenhalgh introduces a cluster of terms—biocitizen, biomyth, biopedagogy, bioabuse, biocop, and fat personhood—and shows how they work together to produce such deep investments in the attainment of the thin, fit body. These concepts, which constitute a theory of the workings of our biocitizenship culture, offer powerful tools for understanding how obesity has come to remake who we are as a nation, and how we might work to reverse course for the next generation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Cost of the World War to the American People The need for such an analysis, conceived and executed in the spirit of historical research, was increasingly obvious as the war developed, releasing complex forces of national life not only for the vast process of destruction, but also for the stimulation of new capacities for pro duction. This new economic activity, which under normal conditions of peace might have been a gain to society, and the surprising ca pacity exhibited by the belligerent nations for enduring long and in creasing loss - often while presenting the outward semblance of new prosperity - made necessary a reconsideration of the whole field of war economics. A double obligation was therefore placed upon the Division of Economics and History. It was obliged to concentrate its work upon the problem thus presented, and to study it as a whole; in other words, to apply to it the tests and disciplines of history. J ust as the war itself was a single event, though penetrating by seemingly unconnected ways to the remotest parts of the world, so the analysisof it must be developed according to a plan at once all embracing and yet adjustable to the practical limits of the available data.

Direct and Indirect Costs of the Great World War (Classic Reprint)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Direct and Indirect Costs of the Great World War A few years ago pamphleteers and men in public life were declaring that there could not be another great war because of the tremendous costs that would be involved. Saner students of history pointed out that cost was relative and that no nation had ever been prevented from going into war from fear of the expense. The judgment of the latter has been vindicated by recent history. The war that has just come to an end shows that anticipated costs, however great, are not a preventive. A recital of the tremendous costs of the great war can not therefore be regarded as worth while if the purpose of the recital is to warn against further wars. Nevertheless, it is well that the world should know as fully as possible the monetary and other costs of its bloody debauch. The recital will serve as a cautionary signal, if not as a preventive, for the future. For this reason it seemed well to the officers of the Endowment that an attempt should be made to gather together in one volume at least the more obvious costs of the great war. Professor E. L. Bogart was entrusted with the task. His first study, in accordance with the wishes of the Endowment was a short presentation. The demand for his work was so great that a new edition was called for and Professor Bogart took the opportunity to go into the matter more exhaustively. The present presentation is therefore virtually a new work much enlarged and improved not only in a physical but in a scholarly sense. Professor Bogart's book shows the handiwork of a scholar and yet presents the subject in a way that will interest the general reader. It would be platitudinous for the editor to comment upon the facts presented or to summarize the gruesome story. The figures of direct expenditures have no significance to the human mind. They are too great to grasp. Still more is this true when we consider the total costs, direct and indirect, even when we attempt to reduce them to an estimate of dollars.
