Economic History of Europe

By: Melvin M. Knight,Harry Elmer Barnes,Felix Flügel

Originally published in 1930, this book is a detailed but lucid piece of historical writing which answers many questions about ancient and medieval history that are most important for understanding contemporary economic problems. The economic history of Europe in modern times is both the history of agriculture, industry and commerce of a continent over 5 centuries and the history of a series of changes in economic organization which have been dominant in making the modern world what it is. This book gives due weight to both of these aspects. As well as being an account of sequences of events, it is also an account of changing forms of economic activity, alterations of the economic structure of society and emerging economic problems in the 20th Century.

Value

Value

By: Frederick Harry Pitts

Value' seems like an elusive and abstract concept. Nonetheless, notions of value underpin how we understand our lives, from discussions about the economic contribution of different kinds of work and productive activity, to the prices we pay for the things we consume. So what is value, and where does it come from? In this new book, Frederick Harry Pitts charts the past, present and future of value within and beyond capitalist society, critically engaging with key concepts from classical and neoclassical political economy. Interrogating the processes and practices that attribute value to objects and activities, he considers debates over whether value lies within commodities or in their exchange, the politics of different theories of value, and how we measure value in a knowledge-based economy. This accessible and intriguing introduction to the complexities of value in modern society will be essential reading for any student or scholar working in political economy, economics, economic sociology or management.

Fate Is a Double-Cross

By: Harry E. Keller

This is a story that covers many of the controversial issues of our time, such as abortion, child abuse and abandonment, prostitution, and gambling. It illustrates how one child without good parental love and guidance became an anti-social criminal, while on the other hand, twin boys born from a mother who had high moral standards were taught the proper road to follow in life. One of the twins became a priest, the other a stock manipulator, and gambler, but even though they went on opposite paths in life, both stayed within the limits of the law. The twins were conceived from an act of violence, and their mother Sara would not rest until she was sure their biological father was caught and put in prison. When he is sentenced to five years, he vows to come back and kill her. The twin's biological father was the child without parents who became an anti-social criminal. The story continues with the lives of the twins and has many unexpected turns of fate. It has adventure, intrigue, murder, and even comedy.

Company of Heroes

My Life as an Actor in the John Ford Stock Company

By: Harry Carey, Jr.

When Harry Carey, Sr., died in 1947, director John Ford cast Carey's twenty-six-year-old son, Harry, Jr., in the role of The Abilene Kid in 3 Godfathers. Ford and the elder Carey had filmed an earlier version of the story, and Ford dedicated the Technicolor remake to his memory. Company of Heroes is the story of the making of that film, as well as the eight subsequent Ford classics. In it, Harry Carey, Jr., casts a remarkably observant eye on the process of filming Westerns by one of the true masters of the form. From She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Wagonmaster to The Searchers and Cheyenne Autumn, he shows the care, tedium, challenge, and exhilaration of movie-making at its highest level. Carey's portrayal of John Ford at work is the most intimate ever written. He also gives us insightful and original portraits of the men and women who were part of Ford's vision of America: John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, and Ben Johnson. Funny, insightful, and brutally honest, Company of Heroes is a rip-roaring good read that presents the remarkable life story of Harry Carey, Jr., and his many fine performances.

Delphi Complete Works of Harry Collingwood (Illustrated)

By: Harry Collingwood

The popular adventure novelist William Lancaster was the son of a Royal Navy captain and wrote under the pseudonym of Harry Collingwood. He studied at Royal Naval College, Greenwich and distinguished himself by carrying off many prizes.

Instead, he became a civil engineer, specialising in harbour commissions. In his spare time, he turned to writing adventure yarns and historical novels, almost always with a nautical setting. His novels reveal his informed knowledge of the genre and an untiring ability to construct compelling and original adventure stories.

Homeworld

Homeworld

By: Harry Harrison

In this dystopian fantasy from the author of the sci-fi classic The Stainless Steel Rat, a man joins forces with rebels to battle an oppressive regime. The first volume in Harry Harrison’s epic To the Stars Trilogy, Homeworld is a stark and compelling vision of the future. Homeworld is heaven on Earth. If you don’t ask questions . . . Homeworld is stable at last, hundreds of years after the collapse of the 20th Century economy. For the millions of proles, life is still a grim ordeal, but for the lucky few, like Engineer Jan Kulozik, there is every kind of luxury. Except one. On Homeworld, where everything and everyone is monitored by the faceless power of government, there is no freedom. Jak Kulozik knew nothing of the Resistance; he probably didn’t want to. But suddenly, he is part of it. And running for his life . . . “Harrison’s fictions constitute one of the main monuments in modern SF.” —Paul Di Filippo, SciFi.com

Finding a Path

Stories from My Life

By: Harry W. Strachan

This is one mans journey, told through the stories that have shaped his life. Author Harry Strachans story began in Costa Rica, where he was born into a large missionary family. As an adult, he moved to the United States to pursue higher education. After studying at the schools of law and business at Harvard, he returned to his alma mater to teach. He then moved into private industry and eventually returned to his Central American home with the mission of investing both for profit and impact. But the heart of these experiences is how he deals with challenges. He reflects on coming to terms with family expectations, finding a vocation that fits his talents, dealing with emotional setbacks and serious illness, raising a family, and learning to love well in marriage. Through it all, there is a spiritual journey that moves through the loss of the conservative, traditional faith of his childhood to the establishment of a set of values that guides his life. Harrys reflections are told with humor and authenticity. His story offers provocative reflections for the next generation who are seeking to both do good and do well. Harry Strachan is one of the most remarkable people Ive ever known. He has been a lifelong friend whose path through sorrow and success has been a brilliant example to me of the examined life. Written principally for his children, these stories will resonate with anyone who is willing to live outside the box. Maestro John Nelson, Conductor

Collected Works of Harry G. Johnson

By: Harry G. Johnson

Supervised by Maurice Dobb, Harry Johnson was particularly impressed by the breadth and the ideas of Joseph Schumpeter, which greatly influenced his writings in later years. Johnson made many contributions to the development of Heckscher-Ohlin theory and also helped to found the monetary approach to the balance of payments. He wrote many surveys of monetary economics that helped to clarify the issues in question.

Beyond the Profits System

Possibilities for a Post-Capitalist Era

By: Harry Shutt

Since 2008, we have found ourselves confronted by an historic financial holocaust that world leaders have struggled to come to terms with. All have willfully ignored its long-term, systemic causes and are thus unable to chart a way to survival. As explained by Harry Shutt - who was almost alone in foreseeing such a disaster in the 1990s (in The Trouble with Capitalism) their continued denial stems from a vested interest in maintaining a capitalist profits system which is not only as destructive as it was in the 1930s but as outmoded as feudalism was in 1789. Thus it can now only be sustained by an increasing reliance to official misinformation, massive criminal fraud and the ever greater dependence of private corporations on state subsidy. This book makes clear why the desperate resort of Western governments to 'extraordinary measures' to try and avert economic collapse is bound to fail. It also forcefully demonstrates why our only hope of reversing the tide is to abandon the traditional economic logic of endlessly expanding production in favour of responding to the aspirations of ordinary people. Such a transformation, argues Shutt, would make possible the allocation of resources to more socially desirable ends, including the assurance of basic economic security for all as a right of citizenship.

The Anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean

By: Harry Sanabria

The first single-authored comprehensive introduction to major contemporary research trends, issues, and debates on the anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean. The text provides wide and historically informed coverage of key facets of Latin American and Caribbean societies and their cultural and historical development as well as the roles of power and inequality. Cymeme Howe, Visiting Assistant Professor of Cornell University writes, “The text moves well and builds over time, paying close attention to balancing both the Caribbean and Latin America as geographic regions, Spanish and non-Spanish speaking countries, and historical and contemporary issues in the field. I found the geographic breadth to be especially impressive.” Jeffrey W. Mantz of California State University, Stanislaus, notes that the contents “reflect the insights of an anthropologist who knows Latin America intimately and extensively.”
