The Orthodoxy of Arrogance
Author: M.B. Moshe
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490715371
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The Orthodoxy of Arrogance is a fictional account of historical events and the subsequent personal and familial conflicts they can create. The main character, Mordichai Lebenschitz, is a moyl from Dachau, Germany. As the Nazi regime rises, he changes his name to the more German Moritz. He is pompous, self-centered, and oblivious to the world and its proposed effects on him. He is charming, manipulative and self-indulgent. He and his wife Hannah elude the Nazis from 1941-1944 in the city of Dachau. My novel suggests possible scenarios of events in history. It weaves them with personal, familial, and societal conflicts they affect. It borders on the least likely outcomes of historical events. They are often endured by arrogant and self-indulgent attitudes. The Orthodoxy of Arrogance is the story of sheer will. It is a fictional account of one believing in oneself to the point of selfishness. It is the conflict of ego and how it can work to disrupt human emotions.

Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle
Author: Michael Farr
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0762768177
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
What is the arrogance cycle? We’ve just lived through it. As market bubbles build, our confidence level rises (dis)proportionately. Everyone wants in on the action. We want to believe Wall Street, and once we do, the inevitable happens. Like Dr. Frankenstein breathing life into inanimate flesh, investment professionals sought ever more novel ways to create wealth. The only problem was that it was all artificial. In this book, Michael Farr examines the forces at work on individuals and markets and explains in clear, concise, layman’s terms how we got to where we are. Farr focuses on individual factors—such as rampant consumerism, a sense of entitlement, narcissism, resentment toward the upper class—that combined to create the perfect economic storm. By consulting with leading psychologists and relaying first-hand experience with investment clients, he provides a case study of the arrogant investor. In reviewing failed enterprises like Enron, AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns, as well as the illegal activities of Bernie Madoff and others through the lens of arrogance, the book sheds light on those disasters and offers a means to detect the insidious presence of arrogance so that in the future we can contain the damage before it spreads.

The Arrogance of Power
Author: Anthony Summers
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101199482
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
The controversial New York Times–bestselling biography of America’s most infamous president written by a master of investigative political reporting. Anthony Summers’s towering biography of Richard Nixon reveals a tormented figure whose criminal behavior did not begin with Watergate. Drawing on more than a thousand interviews and five years of research, Summers traces Nixon’s entire career, revealing a man driven by addiction to power and intrigue. His subversion of democracy during Watergate was the culmination of years of cynical political manipulation. Evidence suggests the former president had problems with alcohol and prescription drugs, was mentally unstable, and was abusive to his wife, Pat. Summers discloses previously unrevealed facts about Nixon’s role in the plots against Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende, his sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968, and his acceptance of funds from dubious sources. The Arrogance of Power shows how the actions of one tormented man influenced 50 years of American history, in ways still reverberating today. “Summers has done an enormous service. . . . The inescapable conclusion, well body-guarded by meticulous research and footnotes, is that in the Nixon era the United States was in essence a ‘rogue state.’ It had a ruthless, paranoid and unstable leader who did not hesitate to break the laws of his own country.”—Christopher Hitchens, The New York Times Book Review “A superbly researched and documented account—the last word on this dark and devious man.”—Paul Theroux

The End of Arrogance
Author: Steven Weber
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674058976
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Free-market capitalism, hegemony, Western culture, peace, and democracy—the ideas that shaped world politics in the twentieth century and underpinned American foreign policy—have lost a good deal of their strength. Authority is now more contested and power more diffuse. Hegemony (benign or otherwise) is no longer a choice, not for the United States, for China, or for anyone else. Steven Weber and Bruce Jentleson are not declinists, but they argue that the United States must take a different stance toward the rest of the world in this, the twenty-first century. Now that we can’t dominate others, we must rely on strategy, making trade-offs and focusing our efforts. And they do not mean military strategy, such as “the global war on terror.” Rather, we must compete in the global marketplace of ideas—with state-directed capitalism, with charismatic authoritarian leaders, with jihadism. In politics, ideas and influence are now critical currency. At the core of our efforts must be a new conception of the world order based on mutuality, and of a just society that inspires and embraces people around the world.

An Arrogance of Ignorance
Author: Oscar Beauregardi
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546213198
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
After years of prepping for the most important day of school, the first day, I came up with a phrase you, the reader, will come across numerous times: failure is the condiment for the flavor of success. I tell any teacher willing to listen that the first day is imperative as far as standard impressions are made and, in general, what the expectations would be. My eloquence to quote, vastly lacking by my own estimates, pale in comparison to most. The reader throughout this book will find many quotes, as appropriate as I deemed necessary and proper. Proper credit has been given to acknowledge those in history who have provided me with empowerment and inspiration for all the students to understand. Hoping that after thirteen years of AP world history teaching, the challenges should be greater than the regular class: supplying the above quote should have a more emphatic sense of the direction we were about to head. The right to fail, to try, and try again, if necessary, using various techniques and insights offered should provide the support these students would so desperately deserve. Nothing of value comes easy; it comes with struggleexperiencing the wrong to get it right. No student left behind is the credo for most public schools in the state. This is a more than subtle way of sending the message to all who educate our young today. As subtly is their forte this quote leads to an assumption that all students should be passed! Teachers become less stringent toward the academics: the reason they were hired in the first place! The personal baggage, which I allude to in the book, can be infectious for both teacher and student. I estimate that stress is all-consuming and deserves to be addressed, rather than allowing it to become all-consuming, much like the Leviathan. An autonomous teacher appears to be headed to the endangered species list. I lived to tell the tale. Teachers are dropping out like flies: those who refuse the autotron demands placed upon them by their higher-ups, those who fail to assist students in their most vital needsto know. Like Diogenes, good teachers shine their lamp to look for a willing student. I am a passionate man. This I admitted to as a fault when asked, in my interview for the educational position/job, What are your shortcomings as a teacher? I admitted that I care too much. This can be a deterrent. Maybe, if I could take literary license from Emily Dickinson (18301886), I can be summed up as follows: Im somebody. Who are you? Are you somebody, too? Then theres a pair of usdont tell! Theyd banish us, you know. Baggage / being close-minded / being self-important / being self-righteous/ nay-saying / being oblivious to moral obligation / utilized or brutalized into acceptance and ever popular entitlement expectationsthis is this arrogance of ignorance.
