Harris Versus Trump: America's Existential Futures

Harris Versus Trump: America's Existential Futures

Steven Rosefielde; Daniel Quinn Mills

WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING CO PTE LTD
2024
nidottu
American presidential election campaigns are supposed to inform the public about present dangers and opportunities, enabling voters to choose the candidate most likely to defend the quality of national existence.The Democratic and Republican parties instead prioritize mobilizing electoral support with appeals to identity, ideology, idealism and fear. Instead of providing voters with an appreciation of how their partisan programs are likely to affect them, both parties demonize each other and barrage the public with deceptive idealist appeals. Clearly, controlling the narrative is more important to the candidates than candidly addressing present dangers and opportunities. This results in narratives that are full of sound and fury, yet signify little.Avoiding the media melodrama and adopting a non-partisan position, Harris versus Trump: America's Existential Futures identifies the power-seeking goals of the Democratic and Republican parties, and their path-dependent systemic consequences.The flagbearers of the two parties, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, offer voters two distinct 'existential' futures that only come into focus with detailed examinations of the real present dangers and opportunities. Hence, this book surveys key domestic and foreign challenges confronting the United States, obscured by campaign rhetoric, and discusses the candidates' implicit and explicit attitudes toward them.Harris versus Trump considers America's prospects under Harris and Trump regimes, revealing that the outcome of the November 2024 election is likely to matter more fundamentally than most observers appreciate.

Harris in Pieces

Harris in Pieces is a cheeky cabinet of comic miniatures-short stories and poems that tilt the everyday theatre of modern life into the light and let it sparkle. One minute, a head teacher is MacGyver-ing a shambolic school f te into triumph with nothing but duct tape, diplomacy, and tea. The next, a slippery minister sashays back to his old school for a PR waltz-polish on the surface, chaos in the wings. The joy is in the reveal: the distance between how we perform in society and who we really are. The cast is gloriously, recognisably human. Parents keep up appearances on the school run. Critics and politicians buffing their images for a fickle press. Ordinary strivers who can turn even simple plans into slapstick. The laughs land fast with smart dialogue, razor-sharp asides, and social observations that make you wince, then cackle. Threaded between the tales are nimble, mischievous poems that stretch the grin: a light-footed tour of French rituals and appetites; a gleeful "what if" about printed houses that spooks bankers and pundits; riffs on convenience, culture, and the small myths we live by. The verse is musical without being precious, generous without going soft. What binds it all is a humane streak. Even the blowhards get a wink; even the chancers get their moment. Grace keeps popping up where you don't expect it, like on the touchline, under a PTA tent, in the breath held before a photo-op. Dip in anywhere or read straight through. Either way, you'll get crisp setups, satisfying payoffs, and that aftertaste of recognition that lingers long after the laugh. For fans of social comedy and modern satire, Harris in Pieces offers bite with benevolence-laugh-out-loud scenes, quotable lines, and the warm shock of seeing ourselves, just slightly askew.

"There was a time when I thought that if I let the world go by, it would have no call upon me, but now I realize differently. And the fact that I shall soon be a father makes me more conscious than ever of the future." - Robert Douglas HarrisJuly 1944 On January 8, 1945, the Harris Crew was assigned to 550 Squadron at North Killingholme, England. For RCAF Flying Officer Bob Harris, RCAF Sergeant Tom Ditson, RCAF Sergeant Douglas Hicks, RAF Sergeant Gerard Kelleher, RCAF Flying Officer Gordon Nicol, RAF Sergeant Kenneth Smith and RCAF Flight Sergeant David Yemen, this move would signify the start of active service with RAF's Bomber Command. Though the Harris Crew's tour would be a brief one, the crew would participate in some of the most controversial raids of World War II and go to battle against Germany's top night fighter. Members of the crew would endure time as prisoners of war. For one, his injuries would lead him to become the youngest member of 'The Guinea Pig Club', a club airmen would hope never to join. For another member of the crew, his fate would be mired with a puzzling war crime. Weaving together letters written home by Flying Officer Robert Harris and first-hand accounts written by Sergeant Douglas Hicks along with Squadron records and historical archives, the author has created a riveting snapshot of the remarkable Harris Crew and their short but harrowing time with 550 Squadron.

A Conversation with Harris and Seldon

A Conversation with Harris and Seldon

Ralph Harris; Arthur Seldon

Institute of Economic Affairs

sidottu
From the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon, as general director and editorial director respectively of the IEA, battled against a conventional wisdom which was hostile to markets. Eventually, by force of argument, they overcame much of the resistance to market ideas, and in the process established the Institute's formidable influence in shaping both opinion and policy. This Occasional Paper begins with a transcript of a conversation with Harris and Seldon which provides many insights into how they worked and what obstacles they encountered. Eight distinguished scholars, each familiar with the work of the Institute, then provide commentaries which assess its influence on thinking and the challenge to government which it constituted during the Harris/Seldon years.

When Lord Harris of High Cross (Ralph Harris) died, in October 2006 at the age of 81, the tributes to him described him as one of the 'men who changed Britain'. Friends and opponents alike acknowledged that Ralph, in his role as General Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) and in partnership with his friend, Arthur Seldon, had been instrumental in providing the ideas and the intellectual entrepreneurship that sparked the 'Thatcher revolution' of the 1980s, transforming the British economy from one of the worst performers among developed countries to one of the best.This book selects from Ralph's considerable opus, revealing that economics need not always be a 'dismal science'. Economic analysis was, in the hands of Ralph Harris, deployed to great effect in plain language and with a wit and wisdom that made it fun. Colin Robinson's Introduction places Ralph Harris' work in context and provides an invaluable insight into the author's beliefs and personality. This book will be warmly welcomed and read by academics and researchers of economics, politics and the history of ideas as well as those interested in the work of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

A seminal figure in the development of distinctively American concert music, Roy Harris created a large body of compositions in virtually all media in a career spanning more than fifty years, from the 1920s to the 1970s. His fortunes fluctuated widely with the public and critical community. Eclipsed during the 1960s, when his conservative idiom with its strong nationalistic stance was out of vogue, he and his work have gained increased scholarly, performance, and recording interest in recent decades, which have brought to the fore an entire generation of neglected American composers.Documenting and organizing Harris's complex oeuvre is the essential concern of the present book, and the catalogue of works and performances provides information on instrumentation, premieres, publication, and special aspects of each composition. Like the catalog, the discography is the most thorough ever assembled for Harris, and it also includes commentary on features of the recordings. The extensive annotated bibliography includes reference sources, scholarly works, general works, text sources, folksong sources, writings by Harris, and critical reviews. Works, recordings, and bibliography are carefully enumerated, cross-referenced, and indexed. An opening study of Harris's life, works, and style incorporates gleanings from an oral history collection recently made available. This research tool is an essential companion to any critical study of Harris and will provide a firm base on which future such studies can be developed.
