Synopsis
Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson offers a radical new history of the links between politics and economics, drawing unsettling conclusions about the future of capitalism and democracy., Conventional wisdom has long claimed that economic change is the prime mover of political change, whether in the age of industry or Internet. But is it? Ferguson thinks it is high time we re-examined the link-the nexus, in Thomas Carlyle's phrase-between economics and politics. His central argument is that the conflicting impulses of sex, violence, and power are together more powerful than money. Among Ferguson's startling claims are: - Nothing has done more to transform the world economy than war, yet wars themselves do not have primarily economic causes. - The present age of economic globalization is coinciding-paradoxically-with political and military fragmentation. - Financial crises are frequently caused by unforeseen political events rather than economic fluctuations. - The relationship between prosperity and government popularity is largely illusory. - Since political and economic liberalization are not self-perpetuating, the so-called triumph of democracy worldwide may be short-lived. - A bold synthesis of political history and modern economic theory, Cash Nexus will transform the landscape of modern history and draw challenging conclusions about the prospects of both capitalism and democracy., Does money make the world go round, as Cabaret's Master of Ceremonies sang to us? In The Cash Nexus, acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson offers a radical and surprising answer-No. Conventional wisdom has long claimed that economic change is the prime mover of political change, whether in the age of industry or the Internet. In our own time Paul Kennedy has claimed that economics provided the key to international power, while Francis Fukuyama and others have argued that capitalism doomed socialism and ensured the victory of democracy. Small wonder politicians are obsessed with the economy: the Clinton campaign motto-"It's the economy stupid" -sums up a central tenet of modern life. But is it the economy? Ferguson thinks it is high time we re-examined the link-the "nexus," to use Thomas Carlyle's term-between economics and politics, in the aftermath not only of the failure of socialism but also of the apparent triumph of American-style capitalism. His central argument is that the conflicting impulses of sex, violence, and power are together more powerful than money. In particular, political events and institutions have often dominated economic development. A bold synthesis of political history and modern economic theory, Cash Nexus will transform the landscape of modern history and draw challenging and unsettling conclusions about the prospects of both capitalism and democracy.

- l***l (38)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaIt is too bad that I cannot rate the shipping package I received with this item. The packaging was great, even contained cardboard corners to reinforce during shipment and well packed with packing paper. The item is as described/displayed on the seller's site page. The book is in great condition and contains the multiple signatures which are truly priceless. Well done and thank you!Rifts: Secrets of the Atlanteans Dimension Book 15 Gold Foil Hardcover (Signed) (#256209442073)

Oredered a paperback book and I especially appreciated the packing in a box and not a padded envelope in order to prevent it being folded and stuffed in a mail box.
