How can the simple choice of a men's suit be a moral statement and a political act? When the suit is made of free-labor wool rather than slave-grown cotton. In Moral Commerce, Julie L. Holcomb traces the genealogy of the boycott of slave labor from its seventeenth-century Quaker origins through its late nineteenth-century decline. In their failures and in their successes, in their resilience and their persistence, antislavery consumers help us understand the possibilities and the limitations of moral commerce.
Quaker antislavery rhetoric began with protests against the slave trade before expanding to include boycotts of the use and products of slave labor. For more than one hundred years, British and American abolitionists highlighted consumers' complicity in sustaining slavery. The boycott of slave labor was the first consumer movement to transcend the boundaries of nation, gender, and race in an effort by reformers to change the conditions of production. The movement attracted a broad cross-section of abolitionists: conservative and radical, Quaker and non-Quaker, male and female, white and black.
The men and women who boycotted slave labor created diverse, biracial networks that worked to reorganize the transatlantic economy on an ethical basis. Even when they acted locally, supporters embraced a global vision, mobilizing the boycott as a powerful force that could transform the marketplace. For supporters of the boycott, the abolition of slavery was a step toward a broader goal of a just and humane economy. The boycott failed to overcome the power structures that kept slave labor in place; nonetheless, the movement's historic successes and failures have important implications for modern consumers.

Автор: Fukuyama Francis Название: Falling Behind: Explaining the Development Gap Between Latin America and the United States ISBN: 0199754195 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199754199 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 66960.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In 1700, Latin America and British North America were roughly equal in economic terms. Yet over the next three centuries, the United States gradually pulled away from Latin America, and today the gap between the two is huge. Why did this happen? Was it culture? Geography? Economic policies? Natural resources? Differences in political development? The question has occupied scholars for decades, and the debate remains a hot one.
In Falling Behind, Francis Fukuyama gathers together some of the world's leading scholars on the subject to explain the nature of the gap and how it came to be. Tracing the histories of development over the past four hundred years and focusing in particular on the policies of the last fifty years, the contributors conclude that while many factors are important, economic policies and political systems are at the root of the divide. While the gap is deeply rooted in history, there havebeen times when it closed a bit as a consequence of policies chosen in places ranging from Chile to Argentina.
Bringing to light these policy success stories, Fukuyama and the contributors offer a way forward for Latin American nations and improve their prospects for economic growth and stable politicaldevelopment. Given that so many attribute the gap to either vast cultural differences or the consequences of U.S. economic domination, Falling Behind is sure to stir debate.
And, given the pressing importance of the subject in light of economic globalization and the immigration debate, its expansive, in-depth portrait of the hemisphere's development will be a welcome intervention in the conversation.

This book was developed to present factual information as delineated by the title: The United States of America The Most Successful Nation and People of All ... The 1620 Mayflower Pilgrims Began it, with Freedom for People and the Free Market; The Constitution Defined It with Law, Success Reigned. Government Proliferated, Changes Now Needed. Too much of the information known about the economy and our marketplace is entirely incorrect. It has been disseminated by individuals with knowledge gained from university studies and books or by individuals in the political field--none from having experience in the business field.
These individuals want to solve the problems which they see prominent in the business field. They think workers are being mistreated, not being paid the way they should for the work they do, while the owners and managers of businesses are prospering. They say the rich are getting richer; the poor are getting poorer. Politicians have noted these problems and they feel an obvious solution would be to increase the minimum wage.
The latter solution does only one thing: it makes it harder for some beginners to get a job. It helps no one. And no one, without experience in a particular technical field, can solve problems that might arise in that field. The United States of America: The Most Successful Nation and People of All explains why that is true.
The book explains how the United States of America has become the most successful nation and people in the world. Those classified as poor in this country are, on average, better off economically than the people, rich and poor, in Europe. The book provides facts and details that explains the reasons why the United States surpassed all other nations in economic success--its free market, how it was born, when it was born, and what government did to sustain it.

In 1893 a small group of white planters and missionary descendants backed by the United States overthrew the Kingdom of Hawai‘i and established a government modeled on the Jim Crow South. In Nation Within Tom Coffman tells the complex history of the unsuccessful efforts of deposed Hawaiian queen Lili‘uokalani and her subjects to resist annexation, which eventually came in 1898. Coffman describes native Hawaiian political activism, the queen's visits to Washington, D.C., to lobby for independence, and her imprisonment, along with hundreds of others, after their aborted armed insurrection. Exposing the myths that fueled the narrative that native Hawaiians willingly relinquished their nation, Coffman shows how Americans such as Theodore Roosevelt conspired to extinguish Hawai‘i's sovereignty in the service of expanding the United States' growing empire.
