The Economic Foundations of Government

The Economic Foundations of Government

Randall G. Holcombe

Palgrave Macmillan
1994
nidottu
Government is analysed as the product of exchange among individuals who differ in their bargaining power. This approach shows why individuals agree to political institutions that give their governments extensive power, and why even the most powerful government benefits from constitutional rules constraining the government's power. This foundation is used to examine a wide range of government activities, including its protection of rights, its military activities, and democratic political institutions.

Weasel Finkbone is Keeping Down Appearances
His father was dead--his body blown to bits, they said, on an assignment far from home. But neither Weasel Finkbone nor his sister, Anna, believed them. Now, after three years of sly investigating, Weasel thinks he knows where his father is: out on an old oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and probably involved in some top-secret government plot. But as he and his friends, Titus and Beans, are finalizing plans for a secret trip to the rig to look for his dad, things start to get a little crazy, and the trip that was meant to be a 'quest to end all quests' becomes just one leg of a far more exciting adventure that forces the spotlight-avoiding Weasel to take center stage and share with the world his many odd but excellent qualities.

The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land battle in U.S. history, a battle that cost the United States 20,000 lives and stopped the last German offensive of World War II. The authors, both residents of Helena, Montana, studied the history of this battle and walked the critical sectors of the battlefield, examining examples of American heroism and looking for evidence of involvement by Montanans. Their objective was to better understand this significant battle and how our soldiers managed to stop an enemy steamroller, overcoming their fears while outnumbered more than three-to-one. This book examines the eleven critical junctures of the battle and includes personal stories of Montana veterans.

The Wizard of Menlo Park: How Thomas Alva Edison Invented the Modern World
Thomas Edison's greatest invention? His own fame.At the height of his fame Thomas Alva Edison was hailed as "the Napoleon of invention" and blazed in the public imagination as a virtual demigod. Starting with the first public demonstrations of the phonograph in 1878 and extending through the development of incandescent light and the first motion picture cameras, Edison's name became emblematic of all the wonder and promise of the emerging age of technological marvels.But as Randall Stross makes clear in this critical biography of the man who is arguably the most globally famous of all Americans, Thomas Edison's greatest invention may have been his own celebrity. Edison was certainly a technical genius, but Stross excavates the man from layers of myth-making and separates his true achievements from his almost equally colossal failures. How much credit should Edison receive for the various inventions that have popularly been attributed to him--and how many of them resulted from both the inspiration and the perspiration of his rivals and even his own assistants?This bold reassessment of Edison's life and career answers this and many other important questions while telling the story of how he came upon his most famous inventions as a young man and spent the remainder of his long life trying to conjure similar success. We also meet his partners and competitors, presidents and entertainers, his close friend Henry Ford, the wives who competed with his work for his attention, and the children who tried to thrive in his shadow--all providing a fuller view of Edison's life and times than has ever been offered before. The Wizard of Menlo Park reveals not only how Edison worked, but how he managed his own fame, becoming the first great celebrity of the modern age.

This is the story of the 30 year love affair between Queen Elizabeth and the world's greatest writer. Yes, the idea of such an affair at first may seem incredible, almost beyond belief. But... What has to be understood is that Shakespeare was not the person we thought he was. And, in some ways, neither was the Queen. If you have seen the recent film Elizabeth, then you may be ready to read this book with no sense of deep shock. On the other hand, reading this book first will certainly prepare you to comprehend better the Elizabeth of the film.
