Book Description
This book focuses on the different fascist movements which have existed in Britain during the twentieth century from the British Fascists of the 1920s to the British National Party of the 1990s. Three main themes are covered in the book: an outline of the policies, tactics and ideologies of the different movements; a discussion of the notion of failure, and how that term should be applied to British fascism; and coverage of the different strengths of British political society which are seen to have prevented a breakthrough of British fascism in the arena of electoral politics.

Book Description
The essays collected here outline a number of factors which made the EC too young to be able to assimilate Britain's important interests, and the British over-optimistic in their approach to negotiations with the Community. The role of conflict over Western strategy and European political union in the breakdown of the negotiations is re-assessed, and the negotiations over agriculture and the Commonwealth are revealed in an entirely new light.

Book Description
An eclectic mix of institutions, individuals, scientific discoveries and events, which have helped to shape the world we know today. From the East India Company of the 17th century to Nixon's involvement in the Vodka - Cola agreements of the 1970's, the capitalist system has exerted its influence over the entire planet, enriching the lives of a few, while ignoring the rights and needs of the majority. Botanists like Richard Spruce worked to make the world a better place, while chemists like Fritz Haber created weapons of war that killed millions. We cannot continue this cycle of madness, the world is in a mess and anyone who doesn't agree with that, is either as blind as a bat or living in cloud-cuckoo-land. Politicians need to wake up and address not only the problems that we face today, but also the mistakes that were made in the past, failure to do so, will only result in a world that is even more bleak than it is now. We need more integrity, less greed, more empathy, less prejudice, more education, less entertainment, more conservation, less consumption, more transparency, less propaganda and above all, more honesty and a lot less hypocrisy. A wise man once said, society should be judged by how well it treats its most vulnerable citizens and if that is true, what does that say about the world we live in today? It's time for a change, I only hope that it's not too late.

Book Description
Based on new archival research, this is the first comprehensive study of the failure of international co-operation to combat the Great Depression. The book explores the impact of protectionism, reparations and war debts, as well as the more well known disagreements on monetary issues which, together, helped to prolong the most profound economic depression of the twentieth century. The economic and diplomatic lessons drawn from this period by the major powers - particularly German intelligence as to the deep divisions in Anglo-American economic relations - also provide an important contribution to understanding the origins of the Second World War and the diplomatic and economic order created in its aftermath.

Book Description
When market forces fail us, what are we to do? Who will step in to protect the public interest? The government, right? Wrong. The romantic view of bureaucrats coming to the rescue confuses the true relationship between economics and politics. Politicians often cite "market failure" as justification for meddling with the economy, but a group of leading scholars show the shortcomings of this view. In Government Failure, these scholars explain the school of study known as "public choice," which uses the tools of economics to understand and evaluate government activity. Gordon Tullock, one of the founders of public choice, explains how government "cures" often cause more harm than good. Tullock provides an engaging overview of public choice and discusses how interest groups seek favors from government at enormous costs to society. Displaying the steely realism that has marked public choice, Tullock shows the political world as it is, rather than as it should be. Gordon Brady scrutinizes American public policy, looking closely at international trade, efforts at regulating technology, and environmental policy. At every turn Brady points out the ways in which interest groups have manipulated the government to advance their own agendas. Arthur Seldon, a seminal scholar in public choice, provides a comparative perspective from Great Britain. He examines how government interventions in the British economy have led to inefficiency and warns about the political centralization promised by the European Community. Government Failure heralds a new approach to the study of politics and public policy. This book enlightens readers with the basic concepts of public choice in an unusually accessible way to show the folly of excessive faith in the state.
