Ново в Икономическата библиотека (2 – 5 май 2011)

Георги, Джордж, Жорж

За днешния брой избрахме да ви представим няколко заглавия, чиито автори носят името на св. Георги Победоносец. На иконите светецът е изобразяван винаги на кон, а в краката му лежи убитата от него ламя – своебразен символ на победата на доброто над злото.

И както винаги ще започнем хронологично.

George Washington: A Collection

Liberty Fund, 1988

George Washington: A Collection is an important addition to the literature on the American Revolution. The book provides a splendid introduction to Washington and his political beliefs, to the events of the Revolution through which he lived, and to the eighteenth-century world.

И след първия американски президент, участник в Конституционния конвент, един от бащите-основатели на САЩ, да видим как един друг съименник на Вашингтон „защитава конституцията”.

In Defense of the Constitution

George W. Carey

Liberty Fund, 1997

In Defense of the Constitution refutes modern critics of the Constitution who assail it as “reactionary” or “undemocratic.” The author argues that modern disciples of Progressivism are determined to centralize political control in Washington, D.C., to achieve their goal of an egalitarian national society. Furthermore, he contends, Progressive interpreters of the Constitution subtly distort fundamental principles of the Constitution for the precise purpose of achieving their egalitarian goals.

И пак за историята, която някои определят като учителка на народите.

A History of Private Life

Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby

Routledge, 1995

“Private life has always been a matter of public conjecture. This admirable book brings it intelligently into the web of social history and is a model for historians and readers alike. Beautifully produced, it adds apt and rare illustrations to a text by experts who presuppose human curiosity, but no undue knowledge. Its range and level of argument will intrigue anyone who has wondered about past attitudes to such matters as sex and the family, households, social inferiors, dress and even undress.” – Robin Lane Fox, Washington Post

The Transfer Society

David N. Laband and George C. McClintock

CATO Institute, 2001

From advertising descriptions of this small book (eighty-three pages of text) by David Laband and George McClintock, one is led to believe that The Transfer Society estimates what economists have come to refer to as rent-seeking costs. The authors themselves do not use this term until late in the book (chap. 5), and it is not clear whether they regard all the costs they have identified and estimated as rent-seeking costs or as something else. Whatever the costs are called, the magnitude is startling—approximately $549 billion in 1997. The “transfer society” is apparently far more costly than most of us had suspected.
