Book Description
Political Vanity aims to illuminate the central debates over the historical, moral, and political legitimacy of market capitalism as though still profoundly theological in character. This theological sensitivity is achieved by keeping conversation with central theorists of the Scottish Enlightenment, in particular the philosopher and sociologist Adam Ferguson. Ferguson was a contemporary of Hume and Smith, and actively questioned many of the pillars of early capitalism on theological grounds.

Book Description
Vintage Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities, the #1 bestseller that will forever define late-twentieth-century New York style. "No one has portrayed New York Society this accurately and devastatingly since Edith Wharton" (The National Review) “A page-turner . . . Brilliant high comedy.” (The New Republic) Sherman McCoy, the central figure of Tom Wolfe's first novel, is a young investment banker with a fourteen-room apartment in Manhattan. When he is involved in a freak accident in the Bronx, prosecutors, politicians, the press, the police, the clergy, and assorted hustlers high and low close in on him, licking their chops and giving us a gargantuan helping of the human comedy, of New York in the 1980s, a city boiling over with racial and ethnic hostilities and burning with the itch to Grab It Now. Wolfe's novel is a big, panoramic story of the metropolis that reinforces the author's reputation as the foremost chronicler of the way we live in America. Adapted to film in 1990 by director Brian De Palma, the movie stars Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, and Morgan Freeman.

Book Description
Vanity Fair was a weekly show of Political, Social and Literary Wares which was cutting-edge and unique. Over time it became the most successful society magazine in the history of English journalism and with its combination of witty epigrams, portrait caricature and colour lithography, it provided a new interest for the English magazine genre. The colour caricatures were not initially used by its founding editor Thomas Gibson Bowles until Issue 13, when he thought a caricature might boost the fortunes of his new magazine. Benjamin Disraeli was the first, followed by his close rival William Gladstone. Vanity Fair stood ready to attack all who threatened the established social structure, controlled by the ruling elites. It was outspoken in its condemnation of the political parties, and during its 46 year existence, politicians were to account for a third of the 2352 caricatures published in the journal from 1869 to 1914. Unlike the rest of Vanity Fair, these caricatures have lived on and prospered, many falling into the hands of private collectors. This particular collection of 'mixed political wares' includes some of the key players and also rans, whose professional dealings, successful or otherwise, did not escape the scrutiny of the prophesising Jehu Junior.
