Collected Essays On Political Economy And Wartime Civil Liberties 2002-2008 (eBook)

The 64 essays in this volume are primarily about political economy — as opposed to either business or academic economics — and democratic government in the English-speaking nations of the Northern Hemisphere, primarily the U.S. The first, political economy, is viewed in terms of the differences between the theory of economic thought and the reality of actually existing capitalism as considered in topics such as economic growth, business cycles, globalization and monopoly power. The second, political science, is concerned with the contrast between the theory of democratic government and the reality of actually existing democracy, specifically regarding constitutional government, emergency powers, and civil liberties.
