Attempts to assess whether the United States is in economic
decline. Appropriate to general readers as well as economics
students and scholars, this book examines the fears of Americans
about their economic future.
Completely revised and updated to include the ongoing financial
crisis and the Obama administration's programs to combat it, this
is the best available introductory textbook for an undergraduate
course on Financial Markets and Institutions. It provides balanced
coverage of theories, policies, and institutions in a
conversational style that avoids complex models and mathematics,
making it a student-friendly text with many unique teaching
features. Financial crises, global competition, deregulation,
technological innovation, and growing government oversight have
significantly changed financial markets and institutions. The new
edition of this text is designed to capture the ongoing changes,
and to present an analytical framework that enables students to
understand and anticipate changes in the financial system and
accompanying changes in markets and institutions. The text includes
Learning Objectives and end-of-chapter Key Words and Questions, and
an online Instructor's Manual is available to adopters.
The theory and practice of revolutionary social transformation,
Bruce Brown argues, cannot rest content with the exclusive emphasis
of traditional Marxism on world-historic processes and the struggle
of the working classes for their collective emancipation. This
means to discover how capitalist rule becomes internalized in
individuals who suffer not only from economic and political
oppression, but also from forms of specifically psychological
oppression that any revolutionary worthy of the name must address.
Toward this end of reconciling the personal and the political, the
author surveys not only the lessons learned in the New Left during
the 1960s, but also the contributions of critical Marxists who have
sought to reconstitute Marxism as a critique of everyday life
through a critical assimilation of Freudianism into the broader
structure of historical materialism.
It is now more than ten years since Bruce Brown began the Olympic
Peninsula wanderings that led him to write this powerful account of
how greed, indifference and environmental mismanagement have
threatened the survival of the wild Pacific salmon and, as a
result, the region's ecology and its people. Acclaimed by critics
who likened it to Coming Into the Country by John McPhee and Rachel
Carson's Silent Spring, Mountain in the Clouds has become a classic
of natural history. As the struggle to protect Northwest salmon
runs and the urgency of the fight against environmental
deterioration escalates, Mountain in the Clouds remains an
important and illuminating story, as timely now as when it was
first written.
