Book Description
Inefficient and corrupt, the state sector in China is the source of many of the nation's current ills. However, according to corporate financier and bestselling author Joe Zhang, it is fixable. Even amid the rise of private sector capitalism, the government and public in China have faith in the state sector. And now, contrary to the predictions of many experts in the West, China's state sector is rebounding and on track to expand further. In his new book, Party Man, Company Man: Is China's State Capitalism Doomed? Joe shares his firsthand insights into China's SOEs (State-Owned Enterprises) in China, the reasons he left the Communist Party, and his predictions on the future of China's successful and growing state sector.

Book Description
The Kaiser fined him for his writings; he refused to pay. The Weimar Republic charged him with treason for publishing the truth about their illegal military build-up. He fought them in court and went to prison. In early 1933, when Hitler took power, journalist Carl von Ossietzky was one of the first thrown into the new concentration camps. In order to get him out of Germany, Ossietzky’s friends nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Never thinking he would win, they hoped to create enough international uproar to force Hitler to free the journalist he was torturing. Ossietzky won the Nobel Peace Prize for 1935. But Hitler still would not let his captive go. This is Carl von Ossietzky’s story.

A Good Man
Author: Mark K. Shriver
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0805095322
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
In this intimate portrait of an extraordinary father-son relationship, Mark K. Shriver discovers the moral principles that guided his legendary father and applies them to his own life When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver—founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Poverty—died in 2011 after a valiant fight with Alzheimer's, thousands of tributes poured in from friends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," moved his son Mark far more than those who lauded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After a lifetime searching for the path to his father's success in the public arena, Mark instead turns to a search for the secret of his father's joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Mark discovers notes and letters from Sarge; hears personal stories from friends and family that zero in on the three guiding principles of Sarge's life—faith, hope, and love—and recounts moments with Sarge that now take on new value and poignancy. In the process, Mark discovers much about himself, as a father, as a husband, and as a social justice advocate. A Good Man is an inspirational and deeply personal story about a son discovering the true meaning of his father's legacy.

Republic of Labor
Author: Diane P. Koenker
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501731718
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The long decade from the October Revolution to 1930 was the beginning of a great experiment to create a socialist society. Throughout these years, socialist trade unions attempted to transform the Russian worker into a productive and enthusiastic participant in this new order. How did the workers themselves react to these efforts? To what extent were they and their culture transformed into the ideal forms proclaimed in the official ideology? In Republic of Labor, Diane P. Koenker illuminates the lived experience of Russia's printers, workers who differed from their comrades because of their skill and higher wages, but who shared the same challenges of economic hardship and dangerous conditions. Paying close attention to the links between work, politics, and the everyday, the author focuses on workers' efforts to define their place in socialist society. Gender issues are also emphasized, and here we see the persistence of a masculinist working-class culture counterposed to an official culture promoting gender equality. Through this engaging narrative, Koenker develops a highly original discourse about class in Soviet society that will interest all students of Russian history as well as those readers who wish to reinvigorate class as a historical and sociological tool of analysis.
