Описание:
The 500th anniversary of the first publication of Thomas More's Utopia invites a reappraisal of its significance, not just as an ironic and playful fiction, but as a serious contribution to social and political thought. More delivers a searing critique of the injustices of his time and imagines a radical alternative based on common ownership and representative government. In this new interpretation, Wilde surveys the context from which Utopia emerged and analyses its key themes - politics, economics, social relations, crime and punishment, war and religion. Although the society of the Utopians is created as a remedy to the ailments of the old world, there are restrictions on individual freedom which reflect More's suspicion of human nature's innate fragility. Wilde argues that this should not detract from the power of the book in challenging the root causes of inequality and oppression.
The true legacy of Utopia lies in its plea for social justice in the face of a world driven by greed and the lust for power. A compelling case is made for the continued relevance of this masterpiece, a legacy that should not be diminished by attempts to discredit More's character, which are dealt with here in the epilogue. Offering a new perspective on this important historical text, this book is essential reading for students and scholars working in radical politics, the history of social thought and literature, as well as anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating work.

Описание: Beginning One of the greatest mysteries confronting the United States, Great Britain and the free world is how is terrorism getting funded? One of the most likely theories being discussed is that the money is coming from either hidden Swiss bank accounts and/or Saudi Arabia. The CIA is out to prove that just prior to the beginning of World War Two starting in 1937; the Swiss Banks collaborated with the Third Reich in hiding the gold stolen from the Jews. In 2001, the United States learned that the Swiss had protected an International Bank that handled finances for Osama Bin Laden. One of them, the Bahrain International Bank, had funds transiting through non-published accounts of Clearstream, which has been qualified as a "bank of banks" and was involved in one of Luxembourg's major financial scandals. Middle Ultimately, CIA agent Montana Style is able to prove that the Swiss banks had many secret numbered accounts that contained the stolen "money", taken from the persecuted Jews and is indeed the money being used by Al Qaeda to fund world terrorism. The narrative tells how the United States intelligence agencies and its Allies aggressively attempt to recover and restore gold and other assets stolen by Germany during World War II and hidden by the Swiss Banks for over three generations. End Style is successful in tracking down the Al Qaeda financial support in Germany. Much of that capital has been used to finance worldwide terrorism, including the attack on the World Trade Center, September 11 and funded by the money taken from the Jews in World War II. THE PLOT CIA agent Montana Style investigation documents one of the greatest thefts by a government in history. The illegal confiscation by Nazi Germany of an estimated $580 million of central bank gold around $100 billion in today's values along with indeterminate amounts in other assets during World War II. These goods were stolen from governments and civilians in the countries Germany overran and from Jewish and non-Jewish victims of the Nazis alike, including Jews murdered in extermination camps, from whom everything was taken down to the gold fillings of their teeth. Eventually, Styles is able to show the direct connection between the Swiss banks and terrorism conducted by Al-Qaeda, including the 911 hijacking that led to the death of nearly 3000 Americans.

The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of the power of science and technology. Within that story is the incredible tale of the human conflict between three men-Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller-the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons of mass destruction. How did science, enlisted in the service of the state during the Second World War, become a slave to its patron during the Cold War-and scientists with it? The story of these three men, is fundamentally about loyalty-to the country, to science, and to each other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made when these allegiances came into conflict.
Gregg Herken gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade of research, interviews, and new documents. Brotherhood of the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time.
