Sinossi
A collection of essays on class politics in America
In popular retellings of American history, capitalism generally doesn&;t feature much as part of the founding or development of the nation. Instead, it is alluded to in figurative terms as opportunity, entrepreneurial vigor, material abundance, and the seven-league boots of manifest destiny.
In this collection of essays, Steve Fraser, the preeminent historian of American capitalism, sets the record straight, rewriting the arc of the American saga with class conflict center stage and mounting a serious challenge to the consoling fantasy of American exceptionalism. From the colonial era to Trump, Fraser recovers the repressed history of debtors&; prisons and disaster capitalism, of confidence men and the reserve armies of the unemployed. In language that is dynamic and compelling, he demonstrates that class is a fundamental feature of American political life and provides essential intellectual tools for a shrewd reading of American history.

Mongrel Firebugs and Men of Property (Paperback)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Mason, OH, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Conventional stories about American history, its origins and unfolding, do not feature capitalism. Other tales about the countrys history usually take priority. If capitalism figures at all, it is to foreground opportunity, entrepreneurial vigour, material abundance, and the seven-league boots of manifest destiny. Conflict may rear its unseemly facebut only episodically, as a kind of alien or aberrant detour off the main road of Americas exceptional career in world history. Instances of serious social discord, when they draw notice, are transcendeda course correction that allows the utopian project to resume.In this collection of essays, Steve Fraser corrects the record, rewriting the arc of the American saga with capitalism and class conflict centre-stage and mounting a serious challenge to the consoling fantasy of American exceptionalism. Working through the central concepts of political economicsunemployment and risk, unfree labour and household debthe demonstrates that class is a deeply structuring feature of American political life, and an invaluable heuristic for reading American politics in the longue duree. Steve Fraser is the preeminent historian of America as a capitalist civilization Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
