Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americanism and Social Democracy The following pages aim to present Social Democracy - that is, democratic Socialism, as a movement in full harmony with the generous ideals of democracy and internationalism which the word "Americanism" signifies, and to which President Wilson has given such eloquent expression in the remarkable series of war addresses with which he has enriched the literature of democracy. There is no chauvinism in the claim that the ideals of true democratic Socialism are identical with Americanism; that a fine internationalism is implicit in our history, our traditions, and our political institutions. This nation was born of a passionate aspiration for democratic freedom. It has been guided by that aspiration in its dealings with other nations. We have not yet attained a perfect democracy, but we are making speedy progress in the direction of that goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Socialism: An Analysis of the Philosophy Enunciated in the Declaration of American Independence, as Compared With the Philosophy of Social-Democracy The purpose of this little pamphlet is to remove the objections now in the minds of millions of people toward Socialism on the ground that Socialism is un-American. Socialism is not incompatible with Americanism when Americanism is measured by the standard of the American Revolutionists. On the contrary, the Socialists are the only defenders in America to-day of that spirit in which this nation was born. This pamphlet does not deal in any way whatsoever with the underlying economic causes of the American Revolution. Anyone desiring to take up this phase of the subject will be amply repaid by reading "Social Forces in American History" by A. M. Simons.

Book excerpt: A social democracy is a democratic country with a foundation of capitalism that distributes some of its wealth for the benefit of the whole of society. Western Europe and North America are made up entirely of social democracies; Australia and New Zealand are social democracies, some South American countries are, India is, South Africa is, Japan is, and other parts of Asia are. No two are the same. Despite this, for decades the terms 'socialism' and 'social democracy' have been weaponized in the United States to cast government programs in support of a social safety net as communist and evil. They're not, but that doesn't stop millions of people believing a set of falsehoods that have been entrenched within parts of the working classes for nearly a hundred years, causing them to vote against policies entirely in support of them - in other words to vote against their own best interests.It's the biggest and most successful con ever perpetrated against a society, affecting generations of Americans. And it has a single purpose: To make the rich richer. Key to this deception has been the false re-defining of key terms, augmented with fear, and the promise of outcomes that will never be delivered.In this his second volume examining the convolution that is American politics, Steven Godby shows how the country already has the very set of circumstances so many claim to fear, and has had it for nearly a century. Here is a step-by-step dissection of the history and development of social democracy in the United States and the forces supporting and frustrating it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the current state of foreign affairs, the terms "Americanism" and "Americanization" sometimes take on an unexpected--and an unflattering--connotation. Americanism essentially involves values, beliefs, ideals, goods and practices in local settings outside the United States that are in some way related or attributed to American influence. While the validity of this influence may be under scrutiny, it requires a detailed historical--and sometimes cultural--analysis to understand all the dynamics and implications of Americanization. A variety of factors contributes to this influence, including the preoccupation and reception of the relevant culture itself. For instance, many European countries have at times demonstrated a preoccupation with all things American which was not necessarily swayed by any action of America itself. The overall actualization of Americanization, however, encompasses a number of societal dimensions, including power differentials in the exchange processes concerned. Informed by a history of relevant developments since the early nineteenth century, this volume presents an in-depth critical analysis of the Americanization process. Beginning with a survey of early European preoccupations with things American, the book goes on to discuss European concerns regarding American influence after World War II. The work then looks at Americanism and its influence within the United States itself, especially regarding developments during the New Deal and beyond. The primary goal of the analysis is the construction of an interpretative framework, allowing for a more balanced approach to the study of Americanism abroad. Written from a critical, social-emancipatory perspective, the author's approach blends economic, military, social, political, cultural and psychological dimensions as well as an examination of the ways in which these areas interact. Finally, Americanism is examined as part of a U.S.-style corporate globalization at the current juncture. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is in transit from an industrial to a postindustrial society, from a modern to postmodern culture, and from a national to a global economy. In this book Richard Harvey Brown asks how we can distinguish the uniquely American elements of these changes from more global influences. His answer focuses on the ways in which economic imperatives give shape to the shifting experience of being American. Drawing on a wide knowledge of American history and literature, the latest social science, and contemporary social issues, Brown investigates continuity and change in American race relations, politics, religion, conception of selfhood, families, and the arts. He paints a vivid picture of contemporary America, showing how postmodernism is perceived and felt by individuals and focusing attention on the strengths and limitations of American democracy.

Book excerpt: The American Revolution brought a new and vital power to the world and created the political, social, and intellectual conditions that continue to govern the lives of Americans today. Jurgen Gebhardt's Americanism, originally published in German, analyzes the origins of the American public philosophy. Gebhardt uses the term civil theology - which he describes as a belief system grounded in social and religious ideals and based upon the principle "one nation, under God " - to set forth the character of that philosophy. The focus of Gebhardt's study is the relationship between the concepts of founding and order in the self-understanding of the country's early leaders. This focus leads to the core of the symbolic self-interpretation of American society. Through careful scrutiny of the writings of the Founding Fathers - and with a special emphasis on those of John Adams - Gebhardt studies the philosophical and Christian origins of the American ideals of republicanism and revolution. He then considers the process by which the design for living envisaged by the founders embodied in the concept of the paradigmatic republic - found expression in the political, economic, and social institutions of the new society, producing a form of civil theology that was soon identified as Americanism. Americanism raised a universal claim that God, the world, humanity, society, and history all existed within the cosmos of American observances. But in the twentieth century, according to Gebhardt, Americanism has been subverted by the emergence of an individualism unconcerned with pursuit of the common good and by the concomitant rise of an industrialized society at odds with the republic's political-spiritual ethos. Jurgen Gebhardt casts an outsider's keen and observant eye on the structure of the American Republic. Americanism is a first-rate study of the philosophical origins of the American paradigm of order and of how the American quest for a good polity has failed in our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News stories remind us almost daily that anti-American opinion is rampant in every corner of the globe. Journalists, scholars, and politicians alike reinforce the perception that anti-Americanism is an entrenched sentiment in many foreign countries. Political scientist Giacomo Chiozza challenges this conventional wisdom, arguing that foreign public opinion about the U.S. is much more diverse and nuanced than is generally believed. Chiozza examines the character, source, and persistence of foreign attitudes toward the United States. His findings are based on worldwide public opinion databases that surveyed anti-American sentiment in Islamic countries, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and East Asia. Data compiled from responses in a wide range of categories -- including politics, wealth, science and technology, popular culture, and education -- indicate that anti-American sentiments vary widely across these geographic regions. Through careful analyses, Chiozza shows how foreign publics balance the political, social, and cultural dimensions of the U.S. in their own perceptions of the country. He finds that popular anti-Americanism is mostly benign and shallow; deep-seated ideological opposition to the U.S. is usually held among a minority of groups. More often, Chiozza explains, foreigners have conflicting attitudes toward the U.S. He finds that while anti-Americanism certainly exists, the United States is equally praised as a symbol of democracy and freedom, its ideals of liberty, equality, and opportunity applauded. Chiozza clearly demonstrates that what is reported as undisputed fact -- that various groups abhor American values -- is in reality a complex story. -- Lisa Blaydes

Book excerpt: Anti-Americanism has now become an imperative for the sanity and stability of the world. Over the past 30 years almost every foreign adventure of the US has led to failure in compounding existing problems, and after the withdrawal of her forces, conditions have been left worse than when she intervened. Added to that is the resistance of her government to recognise the reality of global warming, and most recently, blundering policies have instigated a series of unexpected terrorist outrages on innocent victims which have made the world a more dangerous place.There are many justifications for anti-Americanism, but there is one which rises about all others: viz., a financial-industrial system which clashes with the long traditions of the social democracies in Europe and the Far East. Two incompatible capitalist systems have emerged amongst the advanced industrial economies in the post-War period: the Rentier capitalism of the US, and the Productive capitalism of Europe and the Far East. Each is guided by its own ideology, the Neo-liberalism of America versus the social democracy (a broad term transcending party politics) of Europe and the Far East Tiger economies.With America emerging as the clear victor of the Cold War in 1989, her government and corporations have been sufficiently confident to impose their financial-industrial system on the rest of the world, and this is proving disastrous to the social democratic consensus and welfare polices built up since 1945 and before. The argument is propagated that the European is no longer viable, and must therefore surrender to the American way and globalisation, but this is shown to be a fiction invented by US policy makers.There is an in-depth analysis of American culture which explains its political system, and the US is revealed to be very far from a true democracy. It is in Europe and elsewhere where the ideals of democracy, justice and equity are best promoted. The final chapters home-in on a European resolution to the most difficult problems of our time, viz., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and how to de-fuse the causes of Terror. The book is an appeal for the cause of civilisation, social justice and equity for all humanity.
