Where live our most cherished (or painful) memories? Where do our beloved (or dreaded) exist when departed?

William Kornhauser, "The Politics of Resentment: Shopkeeper Protest in Nineteenth-century Paris"
English | ISBN: 1138537594 | 2017 | 539 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The establishment of the Third Republic in France in the 1870s swept the nobility from power and established republican government supported by the professional classes, the peasantry, and small businessmen. Paris shopkeepers at first allied themselves with this new republican order but then broke away from it, claiming it favored the rise of large department stores that threatened their livelihood. This work offers a broader interpretation of their protests within the context of general social and cultural developments, providing a colorful and convincing description and analysis of Parisian politics in this critical era of French history.Historians' previous explanations of shopkeeper discontent during the period have centered on the rise of the department store. In contrast, Nord shifts the locus of interpretation to the impact of Baron Haussmann's rebuilding of Paris and the economic crisis of the 1880s on the Paris retail market. In addition, the author challenges the assumption that retailers' protest translates directly into a politics of reaction. His interpretation is an example of social history at its best, and will appeal to those interested in France, social movements, and nineteenth-century Europe.Available for the first time in paperback, this edition includes a new introduction by the author that discusses the book's themes-politics of consumption, nationalism, anti-Semitism-in terms of current historiographical concerns. He also examines whether our own era is not one of political realignment with a potential for right-wing extremism.
William J. Weida, "The Political Economy Of National Defense"
English | ISBN: 0367294931 | 2020 | 248 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
This timely and wide-ranging study covers both the economic and the political aspects of defense spending―first by providing a theoretical framework and then by explaining, in a political economy context, the results of decisions to allocate scarce resources to defense. In doing so, the authors provide a comprehensive picture of the interaction between defense spending and the economic and political structure of the United States, complementing their exploration of topical concerns such as SDI with analysis of long-term trends and issues of timeless importance in the defense debate. Because of the politicizing of defense planning and procurement, there have been few significant applications of optimization techniques to high-level defense issues over the past decade. As a result, there has been a rapid decline in the importance of those techniques―historically the focus of books on defense economics. Like its predecessors, this book presents optimization techniques applicable to a wide variety of defense problems, but it also illustrates what happens in actual practice and why defense decisions are often not economically efficient. The authors discuss alternatives for cases when political constraints make efficient solutions unlikely and explore changes in the defense establishment and political structures that would make economically efficient resource allocations a reality.
