Originally published in 1987, this book is written primarily for
planners, public administrators and project managers in countries
or international agencies considering a development strategy in
which agribusiness and rural enterprise projects are viewed as a
desirable policy instrument for generating employment and income.
It makes available the background and methodology of project
analysis so that agribusiness and rural enterprise project can be
designed, implemented and reviewed effectively in a wide range of
circumstances. It outlines how to establish objectively the
potential and limitations of agribusiness and rural enterprise
projects; provides guidelines for deciding whether a project can be
effective; considers the policy issues relating to such projects
and suggests techniques for judging project performance.
The Anti-Federalists, in Herbert J. Storing's view, are somewhat
paradoxically entitled to be counted among the Founding Fathers and
to share in the honor and study devoted to the founding. "If the
foundations of the American polity was laid by the Federalists," he
writes, "the Anti-Federalist reservations echo through American
history; and it is in the dialogue, not merely in the Federalist
victory, that the country's principles are to be discovered." It
was largely through their efforts, he reminds us, that the
Constitution was so quickly amended to include a bill of rights.
Storing here offers a brilliant introduction to the thought and
principles of the Anti-Federalists as they were understood by
themselves and by other men and women of their time. His
comprehensive exposition restores to our understanding the
Anti-Federalist share in the founding its effect on some of the
enduring themes and tensions of American political life. The
concern with big government and infringement of personal liberty
one finds in the writings of these neglected Founders strikes a
remarkably timely note.
In this definitive collection, the writings of Herbert J. Storing
have been assembled into six categories: the Founding Fathers and
their legacy; race relations in America; rights and the public
interest; bureaucracy and big government; statesmanship and the
presidency; and liberal education. With profound understanding and
incisive prose, Herbert J. Storing elucidates the nature and
enduring importance of America's deepest political principles. His
work is presented here with the thoughtful care and organization of
one of his students - Joseph M. Bessette.
