Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson J. S. Mill De Quincy Ruskin Arnold Pater and Wilde Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style rhetoric and technologies of communication. In particular Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression. | Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System

Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System

The US political system has come to depend upon money too much. The US health care industry spends the most on political lobbying among all the 13 industrial sectors in the US economy. The government regulatory agencies at both federal and state levels have been captured by the health industry interest groups meaning that the regulatory agencies respond to the interests of the industry but not those of citizens. This book employs a broad theoretical framework of crony capitalism to understand US health care system dysfunction. This framework has not been applied before in any serious manner to understand the shortcomings in the US health care system. Specifically the book examines the role of seven key players using this framework - politicians/interest groups pharmaceutical companies private health insurers hospitals/hospital networks physicians medical device manufacturers and the American public. Crony capitalism is a destructive force and is rampant in US health care system causing much waste inefficiencies and malaise in the system. Current efforts and initiatives such as patient-centered medical homes and precision medicine for improving/reforming the system are of mere academic interest and tantamount to taking aspirin to treat cancer. They do not even pretend to address the root cause of the problem namely crony capitalism. Offering prescriptions to fix the U. S. health care system based on a comprehensive diagnosis of the dysfunction this book will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of health care management public and non-profit management health policy administration and economics and political science. | Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System
