Even more amazing is that the selection represents only 1 percent of the 1,500 works by Friedman that Leeson and Palm have put online in a user-friendly format—and an even smaller percentage if you include their archive of Friedman’s audio and television recordings, correspondence, and other writings. This book and the larger online collection are sorely needed and very welcome. Milton Friedman deserves to be read in the original by generation after generation.

More than a biography of one controversial person, it’s an intellectual history of twentieth-century economic thought.” —Greg Rosalesky, NPR’s Planet Money The first full biography of America’s most renowned economist.Milton Friedman was, alongside John Maynard Keynes, the most influential economist of the twentieth century. His work was instrumental in the turn toward free markets that defined the 1980s, and his full-throated defenses of capitalism and freedom resonated with audiences around the world. It’s no wonder the last decades of the twentieth century have been called “the Age of Friedman”—or that analysts have sought to hold him responsible for both the rising prosperity and the social ills of recent times.In Milton Friedman, the first full biography to employ archival sources, the historian Jennifer Burns tells Friedman’s extraordinary story with the nuance it deserves.

Tato kniha vznikla v 60. letech minulého století jako reakce na poválečné snahy americké vlády zvyšovat svoji roli v ekonomice a centralizovat ekonomické rozhodování a moc. Autor ovšem v knize tvrdí, že politická a ekonomická svoboda jsou neoddělitelně spjaty – jedno bez druhého nemůže existovat.*****Ohledně přínosu politické svobody se dnes již spory nevedou, na straně ekonomických zásahů ale taková shoda nepanuje. Centralizace rozhodování a masivní vládní zásahy do hospodářství jsou i dnes na denním pořádku a Friedmanova kniha má v tomto ohledu čtenáři stále co nabídnout. Autor argumentuje pro laissez faire a svobodnou volbu jednotlivce před vládními zásahy do trhů prostřednictvím cel, dotací a regulací. Čtenář se v knize dozví celou řadu konkrétních ekonomických návrhů směřujících ke svobodnější a více prosperující společnosti a sám si může udělat obrázek, jak se za posledních desítek let debata (ne)posunula.

The rollicking autobiography of the iconic guitarist who took thrash metal behemoths Megadeth from the edge of collapse to their highest peak before departing to Japan for the joy of J-Pop. “The story of how he got where he is is fascinating. The Megadeth years have been well documented, but there’s so much more to Marty Friedman’s story and it’s well worth reading about in Dreaming Japanese.” —Decibel MagazineMarty Friedman’s upbringing was as atypical as his career. Growing up in a Jewish household in Maryland, the son of an NSA executive, he lacked motivation until he accidentally discovered the guitar and immediately found his calling. Enjoying a hazy adolescence overflowing with partying, music, and teen antics, he achieved local stardom in Deuce, then burst onto the national scene by pioneering a radically new style of playing, bringing attention to the guitar aficionado label, Shrapnel Records. Acclaim didn’t breed success or money, but undeterred, Friedman moved to California, and after attempts to join Madonna, KISS, and Ozzy Osbourne, finally scored a gig in Megadeth at a time when the band members were just recovering from the verge of self-destruction, and Marty was in and out of homelessness.

Jak došlo k tomu, že Spojené státy jsou tak rozdělené a neklidné? Ve své poutavé nové knize se George Friedman, uznávaný geopolitický prognostik a autor bestsellerů, věnuje otázce, kterou si dnes klade většina Američanů. Bouře před klidem začíná neotřelým zkoumáním hlavních momentů amerických dějin – nově vymyšlený stát se rozvíjel rychlostí, jaká doposud neměla obdoby. Vznikl stát, kterému byla vlastní schopnost rychle se ze slabé kolonie proměnit v dominantní světovou mocnost. Friedman určuje primární hybatele tohoto fenoménu: dva geopolitické cykly, které doprovázejí vývoj této země již dvě stě padesát let. První je výrazný „institucionální cyklus“, který probíhá po dobu osmdesáti let již od založení státu a charakterizuje každý významný zlom v amerických dějinách: válku za nezávislost (70. – 80. léta 18. století), občanskou válku (60. léta 19. století), druhou světovou válku (40. léta 20. století) a hrozící krizi 20. let 21. století, která se již rýsuje na obzoru. Druhý je „socioekonomický cyklus“, který probíhá každých padesát let a který se v americké kulturní dynamice projevuje jako zformování průmyslových tříd, středních tříd a třídy technokratů. V analýze dnešní bouřlivé politické i kulturní scény Friedman odhaluje, že dochází k něčemu bezprecedentnímu: oba hlavní geopolitické cykly budou kulminovat v jediném desetiletí, tedy ve ...

Dr Johnson sums up the case against Milton: “the want of human interest is always felt.” It is the apparent distance of Paradise Lost from ordinary humanity that has thrilled or repelled critics throughout the ages. While many readers are carried away by Milton’s sublimity, others are daunted by his grandeur, scope and learning. Milton himself declared that he would not begin to write until he had “completed the full circle of my private studies”. The Greek word for a circle of learning is the root of “encyclopaedia”; and Milton’s erudition is encyclopaedic. Paradise Lost draws on both ancient learning and the scholarship of his day, displaying not only his deep knowledge of the Bible and Biblical scholarship, and his passionate assimilation of the classics, but also his absorption in astronomy, cosmology, geography, numerology and science. Yet many critics of Paradise Lost argue that all this circling lacks a human centre. Who, after all, is the hero? Adam and Eve in their unfallen state are too remote from us; Christ is not yet incarnate; God cannot be a character. Which leaves us with the magnificently problematic figure of Satan. In this fascinating study of Milton’s great poem, Caroline Moore suggests ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Masculinites of John Milton is the first published monograph on Milton''s men. Examining how Milton''s fantasies of manly authority are framed in his major works, this study exposes the gaps between Milton''s pleas for liberty and his assumptions that White men like himself should rule his culture. From schoolboys teaching each other how to traffic in young women in the Ludlow Masque, to his treatises on divorce that make the wife-less husband the best possible citizen, and to the later epics, in which Milton wrestles with male small talk and the ladders of masculine social power, his verse and prose draw from and amplify his culture''s claims about manliness in education, warfare, friendship, citizenship, and conversation. This revolutionary poet''s most famous writings reveal how ambivalently manhood is constructed to serve itself in early modern England.

Milton''s celebrated epic poem, now in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectable editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.In Paradise Lost Milton produced a poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man. Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and briefly in danger of execution - Paradise Lost''s apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to ''justify the ways of God to men'', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process.

*One of Bloomberg''s Best Books of the Year*The master geopolitical forecaster and New York Times bestselling author of The Next 100 Years focuses on the United States, predicting how the 2020s will bring dramatic upheaval and reshaping of American government, foreign policy, economics, and culture. In his riveting new book, noted forecaster and bestselling author George Friedman turns to the future of the United States. Examining the clear cycles through which the United States has developed, upheaved, matured, and solidified, Friedman breaks down the coming years and decades in thrilling detail. American history must be viewed in cycles—particularly, an eighty-year "institutional cycle" that has defined us (there are three such examples—the Revolutionary War/founding, the Civil War, and World War II), and a fifty-year "socio-economic cycle" that has seen the formation of the industrial classes, baby boomers, and the middle classes. These two major cycles are both converging on the late 2020s—a time in which many of these foundations will change.

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever – but does this ‘death of distance’, which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer.

For fans of the perceptive comedy of Hannah Gadsby, Lindy West, and Sarah Silverman, Academy Award–nominated and acclaimed stand-up comedian Jena Friedman presents a “smart and thoughtful and even a little offensive” (Sacha Baron Cohen) collection of essays on the cultural flashpoints of today.Growing up, Jena Friedman didn’t care about being likable. And she never wanted to be a comedian, either. She wouldn’t discover her knack for the funny business until research for her college thesis led her to take an improv class in Chicago. That anthropology paper, written on race, class, and gender in the city’s comedy scene, was, in Jena’s own words, “just as funny as it sounds.” But it did lay the groundwork for a career that has seen her write and produce for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Late Show with David Letterman, and the Oscar-nominated Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Friedman’s “entertaining and soulful” (Publishers Weekly) debut collection, Not Funny, takes on the third rails of modern life in Jena’s bold and subversive style, with essays that explore cancel culture, sexism, work, celebrity worship, and…dead baby jokes.

Michael A.Milton uncovers the treasures of one of the Bible’s regularly overlooked books in this pastoral treatment of Leviticus. God’s call changed everything for the Israelites. Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun–scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin –the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry – life abruptly changes.With the first line of Leviticus, “And the Lord called,” God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God’s plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. Leviticus for modern–day ChristiansThis call doesn’t just affect the ancient Israelites –Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ’s followers today. This book of the law points consistently to Jesus, the fullness and fulfilment of every antitype. It reveals to us in stark terms the abhorrence of sin, and the barrier it creates between mankind and God.Beginning with a helpful overview of Leviticus, and after providing some beneficial information about its title, authorship, time and biblical ...

In the first two books in his wildly popular The Theoretical Minimumseries, world-class physicist Leonard Susskind provided a brilliant first course in classical and quantum mechanics, offering readers not an oversimplified introduction, but the real thing - everything you need to start doing physics, and nothing more. Now, thankfully, Susskind and his former student Art Friedman are back, this time to introduce readers to special relativity and classical field theory. At last, waves, forces and particles will be demystified. Using their typical brand of relatively simple maths, enlightening sketches and the same fictional counterparts, Art and Lenny, Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory takes us on an enlightening journey through a world now governed by the laws of special relativity. Starting in their new watering hole, Hermann's Hideaway, with a lesson on relativity, Art and Lenny walk us through the complexities of Einstein's famous theory. Combining rigor with humour, Susskind and Friedman guarantee that Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory will become part of the reader's physics toolbox.

Studie o organizaci Hamás založená na reportážích, rozhovorech a analýze situace na Blízkém východě. Beverley Milton-Edwardsová, jedna z předních světových odbornic na Blízký východ a Stephen Farrell, žurnalista z agentury Reuters (dříve The New York Times), čtenářům zprostředkovávají erudované informace o ideových východiscích, záměrech a cílech Hamásu, organizaci, o níž se obecně mluví v souvislosti se světovou bezpečností. Ačkoliv Hamás působí na Blízkém východě už desetiletí a je předmětem mnoha politologických diskusí, v Čechách dosud nevyšla komplexní studie, která by organizaci popsala. České vydání navíc reflektuje aktuální situaci prostřednictvím doslovu Ireny Kalhousové. Kniha odráží letité zkušenosti Milton-Edwardsové a Farrella s výzkumem a reportážemi z okupovaného Západního břehu Jordánu a Gazy, Jeruzaléma a celého Blízkého východu. Autoři zúročili svůj bezkonkurenční přístup k Hamásu a na základě rozhovorů se členy zakladatelské generace a jejich nástupci, kteří nyní organizaci vedou, mohli popsat její vývoj a aktivity od počátku, přes útok na Izrael ze 7. října 2023 až po současné ničivé následky. Kniha tak přináší informace, jak se malá palestinská odnož Muslimského bratrstva stala výzvou pro dlouholeté soupeře, jako je OOP, kdo Hamás podporuje, jaký je jeho program a jak mocným se stal a nebo jak silný zůstane.

Blind, broken by the death of his wife and bitterly disappointed by the Restoration, Milton dictated his sweeping biblical epic Paradise Lost to a series of helpers. While the struggle between God and Satan rages across the cosmos, the human tragedy of Adam and Eve - the temptation and fall - is movingly depicted in language unsurpassed in its musicality and beauty.A staggering and audacious undertaking - seeking, in Milton's words, to "justify the ways of God to men" - Paradise Lost has been revered since its initial publication, inspiring writers from Mary Shelley to William Wordsworth, and is widely considered to be the greatest poem ever written in the English language.

''Of man''s first disobedience, and the fruitOf that forbidden tree, whose mortal tasteBrought death into the world...Sing heavenly muse''From almost the moment of its first publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. It is difficult now to appreciate both how audacious an undertaking it represents, and how astonishing its immediate and continued success was. Over the course of twelve books Milton wrote an epic poem that would ''justify the ways of God to men'', a mission that required a complex drama whose source is both historical and deeply personal. The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is played out across hell, heaven, and earth but the consequences of the Fall are all too humanly tragic - pride, ambition, and aspiration the motivating forces. In this new edition derived from their acclaimed Oxford Authors text, Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg discuss the complexity of Milton''s poem in a new introduction, and on-page notes explain its language and allusions.

England''s Second Reformation reassesses the religious upheavals of mid-seventeenth-century England, situating them within the broader history of the Church of England and its earlier Reformations. Rather than seeing the Civil War years as a destructive aberration, Anthony Milton demonstrates how they were integral to (and indeed the climax of) the Church of England''s early history. All religious groups – parliamentarian and royalist alike – envisaged changes to the pre-war church, and all were forced to adapt their religious ideas and practices in response to the tumultuous events. Similarly, all saw themselves and their preferred reforms as standing in continuity with the Church''s earlier history. By viewing this as a revolutionary ''second Reformation'', which necessarily involved everyone and forced them to reconsider what the established church was and how its past should be understood, Milton presents a compelling case for rethinking England''s religious history.

The poems of John Milton (1608-74) have inspired readers for generations and the selection in this new edition spans his entire career, from his earliest works to the magnificent epics of his later life. The devotional ‘On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity’, his first great poem, anticipates the probing religious questions of Paradise Lost. Works such as ‘L’Allegro’ and ‘Il Penseroso’ consider divisions of loyalties, while ‘A Masque’ (‘Comus’) explores Milton’s great theme of temptation, and the pastoral elegy ‘Lycidas’ contemplates mortality and the meaning of human life. This volume includes considerable selections from Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained - Milton’s late epics on the Fall of Man and Christ’s temptation in the wilderness - and the complete Samson Agonistes, in which the great hero undergoes a profound crisis of faith in his final hours.
