The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

In The End of Economic Man long recognized as a cornerstone work Peter F. Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. In some ways this book anticipated by more than a decade the existentialism that came to dominate the European political mood in the postwar period. Drucker provides a special addition to the massive literature on existentialism and alienation since World War II. The End of Economic Man is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. Drucker concentrates on one specific historical event: the breakdown of the social and political structure of Europe which culminated in the rise of Nazi totalitarianism to mastery over Europe. He explains the tragedy of Europe as the loss of political faith resulting from the political alienation of the European masses. The End of Economic Man is a book of great social import. It shows not only what might have helped the older generation avert the catastrophe of Nazism but also how today's generation can prevent another such catastrophe. This work will be of special interest to political scientists intellectual historians and sociologists. The book was singled out for praise on both sides of the Atlantic and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social theory. | The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

Media Law

Media Law

The aim of this book is to analyse media law in relation to specific areas both in terms of its practical application and its theoretical framework. Part 1 concentrates on the regulation of media content and is largely written from a pro media point of view. Its central tenet is how far does the English media enjoy freedom of expression and the way in which that impacts on how the media operates. It considers how the Human Rights Act 1998 impacts on the media. Part 2 moves on to look at the regulation of the media industries as a whole. Part 3 focuses on day to day transactions for the media. In particular it focuses on provisions from typical media agreements and aims to provide a context for the law which has been outlined in Parts 1 and 2. The structure of this book bridges the gap between a traditional textbook and practitioner work and provides a book which will be of interest to law degree and LPC students and practitioners.

Redefining Sports Media

Redefining Sports Media

This book argues that the examination of sports media within cultural and media studies is organized around more than just a shared topic: mediated sports. What count as sports media in journals books and conferences are extremely diverse; they can cover athlete expression on social media shoe commercials gender in sports commentary Indigenous name change activists and fantasy sports. Besides being mediated and in some cases loosely connected to sports events and leagues it is hard to see what they all share that could serve as the foundation for a unified field of study. Jason Kido Lopez argues that sports media are defined by genre which is reflected in their industries within their content and by their audiences. Throughout the media and cultural complex sports and sports media are built on the genre of live and real competition and therefore to study sports media is to study that genre. Each chapter will explore how the genre is constructed in commodification of mediated sport representation within sports media athlete expression sports fandom and gaming around sports. This book will be of interest to those studying sports media as well as media and cultural studies but also can be used as an introductory survey of the research on sports media from a media and cultural studies perspective. | Redefining Sports Media

The Pension Fund Revolution

The Pension Fund Revolution

In The Pension Fund Revolution originally published nearly two decades ago under the title The Unseen Revolution Drucker reports that institutional investors especially pension funds have become the controlling owners of America's large companies the country's only capitalists. He maintains that the shift began in 1952 with the establishment of the first modern pension fund by General Motors. By 1960 it had become so obvious that a group of young men decided to found a stock-exchange firm catering exclusively to these new investors. Ten years later this firm (Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette) became the most successful and one of the biggest Wall Street firms. Drucker's argument that through pension funds ownership of the means of production had become socialized without becoming nationalized was unacceptable to the conventional wisdom of the country in the 1970s. Even less acceptable was the second theme of the book: the aging of America. Among the predictions made by Drucker in The Pension Fund Revolution are: that a major health care issue would be longevity; that pensions and social security would be central to American economy and society; that the retirement age would have to be extended; and that altogether American politics would increasingly be dominated by middle-class issues and the values of elderly people. While readers of the original edition found these conclusions hard to accept Drucker's work has proven to be prescient. In the new epilogue Drucker discusses how the increasing dominance of pension funds represents one of the most startling power shifts in economic history and he examines their present-day Impact. The Pension Fund Revolution is now considered a classic text regarding the effects of pension fund ownership on the governance of the American corporation and on the structure of the American economy altogether. The reissuing of this book is more timely now than ever. It provides a wealth of information for sociologists economists and political theorists.
