Описание: An original history of ideas, and an unforgettable portrait of power, The Economists' Hour by New York Times editorial writer Binyamin Appelbaum tells the story of the people who sparked four decades of economic revolution.

Before the 1960s, professional economists played little role in American politics.

As Binyamin Appelbaum shows in this masterful work of history, when the post-World War II boom began to sputter, economists rose in influence and power. Over the past half century, they have moved to center stage, running the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, overseeing federal regulation, advising presidents to cut taxes and to restrain government spending. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, the number of economists on the federal payroll roughly tripled.

Their fundamental belief? That government should stop trying to manage the economy.

Their guiding principle? That unfettered markets are the only way to deliver steady growth, and to ensure that all Americans share in the benefits.

The result? Those economists, and their ideas, have reshaped the modern world, curbing government, unleashing corporations, and clearing the way for globalization. But the Economists' Hour failed to deliver prosperity-and the relentless focus on efficiency threatens the future of liberal democracy.

Описание: This is a fascinating and ground-breaking analysis of the extent to which various major Sufi figures contributed to the mystical philosophy of Ibn al-Arabi. While recent scholarship has tended to concentrate on his teachings and life, little attention has so far been paid to the influences on his thought. Each chapter is dedicated to one of Ibn al-Arabis predecessors, from both the early and later periods, such as al-Bistami, al-Hallaj and al-Jilani, showing how he is discussed in the works of the Greatest Master and Ibn al-Arabis attitude towards him. As Abrahamov makes clear, Ibn al-Arabi was greatly influenced by the early Sufis as regards his philosophy and by the later Sufis in matters of practice. This naturally raises the question: How original was Ibn al-Arabis teachings?

Описание: The eighteen studies in this volume in honor of Moshe Bernstein on the occasion of his 70th birthday mostly engage with Jewish scriptural interpretation, the principal theme of Bernstein’s own research career as expressed in his collected essays, Reading and Re-Reading Scripture at Qumran (Brill, 2013). The essays develop a variety of aspects of scriptural interpretation. Although many of them are chiefly concerned with the Dead Sea Scrolls, the significant contribution of the volume as a whole is the way that even those studies are associated with others that consider the broader context of Jewish scriptural interpretation in late antiquity. As a result, a wider frame of reference for scriptural interpretation impinges upon how scripture was read and re-read in the scrolls from Qumran.
