Book Description
When Anthony Schumacher decided to run for a full term as President of the United States, one thing was abundantly clear - the Democrats would pull out all the stops to defeat him at the polls. Democratic presidential nominee Rosita Sanchez and her running mate, General T.D. Graham, know their best hope of winning is to convince the American people that President Schumacher is a danger to the country and they are the only hope for world peace. And they believe they have the perfect plan to carry them to victory on Election Day.But one other thing was also very clear - the Islamic terrorists are well aware the biggest obstacle in their quest for world domination is President Schumacher. And they will do everything in their power to see him dead. When one of the 9/11 masterminds is put to death by the government, the enraged terrorists enter into an unholy alliance with Mexican drug cartels to see to it that President Schumacher and his FBI are never again able to wage war on their jihad and drug trafficking across the southern border. With all the chaos in the capital, the nation wonders whether President Schumacher will win the election, or more importantly, whether he will live to see another day.

Capital City
Author: Samuel Stein
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1786636387
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
“This superbly succinct and incisive book” on urban planning and real estate argues gentrification isn’t driven by latte-sipping hipsters—but is engineered by the capitalist state (Michael Sorkin, author of All Over the Map) Our cities are changing. Around the world, more and more money is being invested in buildings and land. Real estate is now a $217 trillion dollar industry, worth thirty-six times the value of all the gold ever mined. It forms sixty percent of global assets, and one of the most powerful people in the world—the former president of the United States—made his name as a landlord and developer. Samuel Stein shows that this explosive transformation of urban life and politics has been driven not only by the tastes of wealthy newcomers, but by the state-driven process of urban planning. Planning agencies provide a unique window into the ways the state uses and is used by capital, and the means by which urban renovations are translated into rising real estate values and rising rents. Capital City explains the role of planners in the real estate state, as well as the remarkable power of planning to reclaim urban life.

Ages of American Capitalism
Author: Jonathan Levy
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0812995023
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 945
Book Description
A leading economic historian traces the evolution of American capitalism from the colonial era to the present—and argues that we’ve reached a turning point that will define the era ahead. “A monumental achievement, sure to become a classic.”—Zachary D. Carter, author of The Price of Peace In this ambitious single-volume history of the United States, economic historian Jonathan Levy reveals how capitalism in America has evolved through four distinct ages and how the country’s economic evolution is inseparable from the nature of American life itself. The Age of Commerce spans the colonial era through the outbreak of the Civil War, and the Age of Capital traces the lasting impact of the industrial revolution. The volatility of the Age of Capital ultimately led to the Great Depression, which sparked the Age of Control, during which the government took on a more active role in the economy, and finally, in the Age of Chaos, deregulation and the growth of the finance industry created a booming economy for some but also striking inequalities and a lack of oversight that led directly to the crash of 2008. In Ages of American Capitalism, Levy proves that capitalism in the United States has never been just one thing. Instead, it has morphed through the country’s history—and it’s likely changing again right now. “A stunning accomplishment . . . an indispensable guide to understanding American history—and what’s happening in today’s economy.”—Christian Science Monitor “The best one-volume history of American capitalism.”—Sven Beckert, author of Empire of Cotton

Remembering and Repeating
Author: Regina M. Schwartz
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226742014
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
In this graceful and compelling book, Regina Schwartz presents a powerful reading of Paradise Lost by tracing the structure of the poem to the pattern of "repeated beginnings" found in the Bible. In both works, the world order is constantly threatened by chaos. By drawing on both the Bible and the more contemporary works of, among others, Freud, Lacan, Ricoeur, Said, and Derrida, Schwartz argues that chaos does not simply threaten order, but rather, chaos inheres in order. "A brilliant study that quietly but powerfully recharacterizes many of the contexts of discussion in Milton criticism. Particularly noteworthy is Schwartz's ability to introduce advanced theoretical perspectives without ever taking the focus of attention away from the dynamics and problematics of Milton's poem."—Stanley Fish
