In the last years of World War II, Friedrich Hayek wrote The Road to Serfdom. He warned the allies that policy proposals which were being canvassed for the post-war world ran the risk of destroying the very freedom for which they were fighting. On the basis of ’as in war, so in peace’, economists and others were arguing that the government should plan all economic activity. Such planning, Hayek argued, would be incompatible with liberty, and had been at the very heart of the movements that had established both communism and Nazism. On its publication in 1944, the book caused a

Customer Reviews: Happiness runs in a circular motion...   October 29, 2008Gerry O’neill (Morrisville, NC United States)1 out of 1 found this review helpfulYou can’t always get what you want But if you try sometime, You might find, You get what you need. Jagger/Richard Paul Ormerod and Helen Johns set their sights on the latest fad in economics, that of "Happiness" and provide an extensive and devastating critique. Personally, I find that the concept itself is flawed, as the pleasure and pain calculus of Bentham was flawed. Not to mention the whole notion of the i

"American Trade Politics" is the most influential and widely read analysis of the US trade policymaking system. In the third edition of this winner of the American Political Science Association’s Gladys Kammerer award for the best book on US national policy, Destler extends his original analysis to assess the politics of the extraordinarily contentious debates over NAFTA and the Uruguay Round. He explains how free traders overcame the opposing forces represented by H. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, and Ralph Nader to secure congressional approval for the two most important US trade agreements

This collection is the consummate collection of readings on contemporary international relations. According to Samuel Huntington’s seminal 1993 essay, The Clash of Civilizations, world politics is entering a new phase, in which the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of international conflict will be cultural. Civilizations—the highest cultural groupings of people—are differentiated from each other by religion, history, language and tradition. In the resulting era of cultural conflict that is emerging, the United States must forge alliances with similar cultures
