Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disrupting the Generational Cycle of Distrust in America's 600 Year Cultural War You are about to scan a high-resolution MRI of the psychological forces generating discord and disrupting the American democratic experiment. Absolute-mindedness is not a personality type, clinical disorder or social psychopathology, but an archaic "trust" adaptation giving rise to much of today's populist frustration and anger. When trust is disrupted early in life -- complexity, ambiguity, and disappointment fixate on a trust-mistrust duality -- good-bad, right-wrong, us versus them. Republicans and Democrats are undergoing cultural mitosis. An evolutionary social and political speciation driving us toward an autocratic America. Constitutional "originalists" were raised in parental originalism emphasizing principle and discipline over empathy and reasoning. Solo mass shootings are a predictable abandonment pattern over the course of America's history of gun rights and vigilante ethos. Conspiracy theories are repetitive information diffusion in dense social networks during times of social unrest, triggering individuals pre-wired for resignation, grievance, and revenge. The modern dictator: a "dark triad" of malignant narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. American Absolutism explores what happens when human adaptation loses viability as it comes face-to-face with an exponentially evolving complexity that is the modern human condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of eighteenth century is often regarded as the watershed between the feudal Europe of the Middle Ages and the modern Europe of the nineteenth century and beyond. The chronology covered in this title, first published in 1954, is vast, but covers an intellectually stimulating and exciting period of European history. The pinnacle of absolute monarchy is cemented in Louis XIV’s France, eventually giving way to reform and revolution; the Russian Empire becomes an important player on the Western stage under Peter I and Catherine the Great; America achieves independence; and, the ideas of the Enlightenment begin to change the intellectual and religious landscape. Max Beloff analyses the period in fascinating detail in a now reissued title that will be of particular interest to students of Early Modern History, Politics and European diplomacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bastille in America, or Democratic Absolutism: By Eye-Witness The constitutional government of the United States has become an absolute despotism within a shorter time than was ever before required to effect such a change in the political condition of any civilized people. Neces sity, long since denominated the tyrant's plea, which has so often before covered gradual encroachments upon liberty, has, Within the brief period of six months, been made the pretext for obliterating every vestige of freedom in the Northern States of America. Their constitution founded on the right of revolution, is set at nought by those who claim to be its especial champions, upon the ground that it is unfit for revolutionary times, or such periods of popular uprising as that to which it owed its birth. Its framers, who, very recently after its adoption, thought it wise to add seven other clauses for the proteo tion of private rights, little dreamed that any man could with impunity violate every one of these within six months after he had sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the whole. Yet the history of the last half-year records not only such a violation, but the success of a succeeding despotism, as complete as that of the most absolute govern ment. Within the above period, the writ of Habeas Corpus has been disregarded; letters have been Opened in the post office; freedom of the press destroyed; the right of free speech annihilated citizens and foreign residents charged.

In the introduction, William Beik succinctly integrates the theoretical and practical nature of absolutism and its implications for the development of European states and society. The documents, newly translated and carefully selected for their readability, examine the problems of the Fronde, Colbert’s grasp of the economic and fiscal dimensions of the kingdom, the taming of the rural nobility, the interaction of royal ministers and provincial authorities, the repression of Jansenists and Protestants, popular rebellions, and royal image-making. Explanatory notes, a chronology, a map, a geneaology chart, and 9 striking images further strengthen this volume’s usefulness in the undergraduate classroom.
