Book Description
Excerpt from The Decline and Rise of the Consumer: A Philosophy of Consumer Cooperation The idea of this self-feeling of all persons is implicit in the concept of democracy and in the gospels of religion. The demo cratic rule that all men are equal is sometimes confused with the quite opposite idea that all men are the same and that any man can be substituted for any other so that his differences make no difference. The two are not at all the same. The demo cratic rule that all men are equal means that men's being dif ferent cannot be made a basis for special privilege or for the invidious advantage of one man over another; equality, under the democratic rule, is the freedom and opportunity of each individual to be fully and completely his different self. De mocracy means the right to be different. The gospels of religion propound the same notion when they say that all men are equal before God and that salvation is open to all alike. The discoveries of science confirm the positions of democracy and religion. To the Nature which the scientist studies, each of her multitudinous components, as it is in itself, apart from every thing else, endeavors on its own power to sustain its identity, to live and to grow. If it perishes it is not because Nature has taken Sides against it; if it survives it is not because Nature has preferred and chosen it. Each succeeds or fails in its own right, and by its own energies. Its world was not made for it; but yet is made by it, as its activities combine or conflict with the activities of other beings, that environ it.

Book Description
""The Decline and Rise of the Consumer: A Philosophy of Consumer Cooperation"" by Horace Meyer Kallen is a philosophical exploration of the role of the consumer in society. Kallen argues that the consumer is a vital force in the economy and that the decline of the consumer has led to a decline in overall economic health. He proposes a philosophy of consumer cooperation, in which consumers work together to create a more equitable and sustainable economy. Kallen examines the history of consumerism and the ways in which it has been co-opted by corporations and governments. He also explores the potential for consumer activism and the ways in which consumers can use their power to effect change. This book is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the role of the consumer in modern society and offers a new perspective on how we can work together to create a more just and sustainable world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Book Description
"One of the most important books on political regimes written in a generation."—Steven Levitsky, New York Times–bestselling author of How Democracies Die A new understanding of how and why early democracy took hold, how modern democracy evolved, and what this history teaches us about the future Historical accounts of democracy’s rise tend to focus on ancient Greece and pre-Renaissance Europe. The Decline and Rise of Democracy draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richer—democratic practices were present in many places, at many other times, from the Americas before European conquest, to ancient Mesopotamia, to precolonial Africa. Delving into the prevalence of early democracy throughout the world, David Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourished—and when and why they declined—can provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but also about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future. Drawing from examples spanning several millennia, Stasavage first considers why states developed either democratic or autocratic styles of governance and argues that early democracy tended to develop in small places with a weak state and, counterintuitively, simple technologies. When central state institutions (such as a tax bureaucracy) were absent—as in medieval Europe—rulers needed consent from their populace to govern. When central institutions were strong—as in China or the Middle East—consent was less necessary and autocracy more likely. He then explores the transition from early to modern democracy, which first took shape in England and then the United States, illustrating that modern democracy arose as an effort to combine popular control with a strong state over a large territory. Democracy has been an experiment that has unfolded over time and across the world—and its transformation is ongoing. Amidst rising democratic anxieties, The Decline and Rise of Democracy widens the historical lens on the growth of political institutions and offers surprising lessons for all who care about governance.

Book Description
Is Wall Street bad for Main Street America? "A well-told exploration of why our current economy is leaving too many behind." —The New York Times In looking at the forces that shaped the 2016 presidential election, one thing is clear: much of the population believes that our economic system is rigged to enrich the privileged elites at the expense of hard-working Americans. This is a belief held equally on both sides of political spectrum, and it seems only to be gaining momentum. A key reason, says Financial Times columnist Rana Foroohar, is the fact that Wall Street is no longer supporting Main Street businesses that create the jobs for the middle and working class. She draws on in-depth reporting and interviews at the highest rungs of business and government to show how the “financialization of America”—the phenomenon by which finance and its way of thinking have come to dominate every corner of business—is threatening the American Dream. Now updated with new material explaining how our corrupted financial system propelled Donald Trump to power, Makers and Takers explores the confluence of forces that has led American businesses to favor balance-sheet engineering over the actual kind, greed over growth, and short-term profits over putting people to work. From the cozy relationship between Wall Street and Washington, to a tax code designed to benefit wealthy individuals and corporations, to forty years of bad policy decisions, she shows why so many Americans have lost trust in the system, and why it matters urgently to us all. Through colorful stories of both “Takers,” those stifling job creation while lining their own pockets, and “Makers,” businesses serving the real economy, Foroohar shows how we can reverse these trends for a better path forward.
