Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

The essays in this volume, taken together, span the era of British history from 1780 to the present that has engrossed the attention of Brian Harrison in a career of more than fifty years. In keeping with his diverse interests, they vary widely in subject matter. Yet each contributes, in some fashion, to an appreciation of the complexities of reform in modern Britain. Throughout his career Harrison has demonstrated an unwavering interest in social movements and pressure groups. He has analysed the organisation of reform movements and their bases of support; explored the aspirations and beliefs motivating individuals to start or join such movements; and examined the ideas and ideals shaping their conception of human improvement. No one has done more to show that the significance of a reform movement's triumphs and disappointments can be grasped only in relation to the forces amassed to resist its claims. The essays gathered here, on the Harrisonian theme of reform and its complexities, form an acknowledgment of the massive mark their honouree has made on the study of modern British history. They are preceded by a Foreword composed by Keith Thomas and an editorial Introduction tracing the course of Harrison's scholarship and connecting that scholarship to the substance of the essays. The volume encompasses both wide-ranging analytical investigations and telling case studies. All have new things to say on the subject of reform and its complexities in modern Britain.

Historia del comunismo y del marxismo-leninismo: Desde sus inicios hasta su declive

Libro Historia del comunismo y del marxismo-leninismo: Desde sus inicios hasta su declive

La historia del comunismo abarca una amplia variedad de ideologías y movimientos políticos que comparten los valores teóricos fundamentales de la propiedad común de la riqueza, la empresa económica y la propiedad. La mayoría de las formas modernas de comunismo se basan, al menos nominalmente, en el marxismo, una teoría y un método concebidos por Karl Marx durante el siglo XIX. En 1985, un tercio de la población mundial vivía bajo un sistema de gobierno marxista-leninista de una forma u otra. Sin embargo, hubo un debate significativo entre los ideólogos comunistas y marxistas sobre...
