Language and Globalization: The History of Us All is a short book combining my two interests, Linguistics and History. Linguistics contains some intriguing hints about the entirety of the human journey, hints which have been confirmed in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century by genetics. How do History, Linguistics, and Genetics connect? What do they tell us about the fifty-thousand year human journey condensed into the contentious word globalization? This short book hopes to open the door to the answer, and hopes also to inspire some awe at both the grand cycles of human development and reconnection, and the way spontaneous order works to uplift us in spite of ourselves. Mark David Ledbetter is a visiting professor of linguistics at Hosei University in Tokyo; he has spent over thirty-five years teaching in Japan. He has published a number of books in both English and Japanese, including three volumes of America's Forgotten History. He is presently working on the fourth volume of that series.

Part one of a history of the American system from a libertarian/constitutionalist point of view. Puritans and Cavaliers fought the English Civil War; Puritans fled to Massachusetts, Cavaliers to Virginia. They allied against the Mercantilism of Britain to form a new system based on the Enlightenment philosophy of Locke, Montesquieu etc. Parties formed around Jefferson (Enlightenment, strict constitutional interpretation) and Hamilton (Mercantilism, loose interpretation) that would frame America's philosophical dispute until the collapse of Jeffersonianism at the Democratic convention of 1896. Part One covers English roots, the colonial period, the Revolution and Constitution, the first four presidential administrations. CONTACT [email protected]
