The Paradox of Revolution: Labor, the State, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Middlebrook, Kevin J. / Middlebrook, Kevinj, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, This important interdisciplinary work makes original contributions to the study of the state-society relations in Latin America and to the comparative analysis of labor's role in regime change. Middlebrook's theoretical framework identifies the principal dimensions of elite control over mass participation in postrevolutionary authoritarian regimes and highlights the most important aspects of Mexican authoritarianism. By demonstrating organized labor's central importance in the formation and evolution of Mexico's distinctive authoritarian regime, Middlebrook also lays the basis for a major reinterpretation of key features of twentieth-century Mexican politics. "Any scholar interested in Latin American social and political questions over the last one hundred years will sooner or later read this book. Mexicanists worth their salt will read it as soon as they can get it. The scholarship is outstandingly sound. It is rigorous in conceptualization and analysis, and in the historical parts as good as the best histories of Mexican labor and politics." -- John Womack Jr., Harvard University Buy Now

The Ways of Paradox and Other Essays, Revised Edition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Quine, W. V., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, This expanded edition of "The Ways of Paradox" includes papers that are among Professor Quine's most important and influential, such as "Truth by Convention," "Carnap and Logical Truth," "On Carnap's Views on Ontology," "The Scope and Language of Science," and "Posits and Reality." Many of these essays deal with unresolved issues of central interest to philosophers today. About half of them are addressed to "a wider public than philosophers." The remainder are somewhat more professional and technical. This new edition of "The Ways of Paradox" contains eight essays that appeared after publication of the first edition, and it retains the seminal essays that must be read by anyone who seeks to master Quine's philosophy. Quine has been characterized, in "The New York Review of Books," as "the most distinguished American recruit to logical empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of the first rank." His "philosophical innovations add up to a coherent theory of knowledge which he has for the most part constructed single-handed." In "The Ways of Paradox" new generations of readers will gain access to this philosophy.

The Crisis of the Twelfth Century: Power, Lordship, and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bisson, Thomas N., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, Medieval civilization came of age in thunderous events like the Norman Conquest and the First Crusade. Power fell into the hands of men around castles who imposed coercive new lordships in quest of nobility, heedless of the old public order. In "The Crisis of the Twelfth Century," acclaimed historian Thomas Bisson asks what it was like to live in a Europe without government, and he asks how people experienced power, and suffered. Rethinking a familiar history as a problem of origins, he explores the circumstances that impelled knights, emperors, nobles, and churchmen to infuse lordship with social purpose. Bisson traces the origins of European government to a crisis of lordship and its resolution. King John of England was only the latest and most conspicuous in a gallery of bad lords who dominated the populace instead of ruling it. Men like him had been all too commonplace in the twelfth century. More and more knights pretended to powers and status, encroached on clerical domains and exploited peasants, and came to seem threatening to social order and peace. Yet as Bisson shows, it was not so much the oppressed people as their tormentors who were in crisis. Covering all of Western Christendom, this book suggests what these violent people--and the outcries they provoked--contributed to the making of governments in kingdoms, principalities, and towns. "The Crisis of the Twelfth Century" is an unparalleled cultural history of power in medieval Europe, and a monumental achievement by one of today's foremost medievalists.

The Power to Destroy: How the IRS Became America's Most

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roth, William V., Jr. / William V Roth / Nixon, William H., PUBLISHER: Atlantic Monthly Press, The IRS is one of the most powerful agencies in the U.S. government, and since its founding it has been plagued by accusations of abuses of power. In Senator William Roth spearheaded the most extensive reform effort in IRS history, resulting in the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring Bill, which passed the Senate 97-0 on May . Designed to increase taxpayer protections, provide oversight of the agency's managers and employees, and open up the culture of secrecy that has come to characterize the modern tax-collecting agency, the legislation has ushered in a new era in income tax. In The Power to Destroy, Senator William V. Roth, Jr., offers a behind-the-scenes account of a story that has captivated America. He outlines a brief history of how the IRS became a law unto itself and how it has destroyed the lives of ordinary Americans -- many of whom will never recover from their experiences. The horror stories from taxpayers and agency employees that Roth's investigation uncovered elicited a public outcry that demanded immediate action, from Capitol Hill to the White House, and Roth details how these stories translated into specific initiatives that served as the foundation for the actual restructuring legislation.
