Only the foolish believe that the Ku Klux Klan is dead in American politics. By the mid-1990's, under the powerful and far-reaching leadership of Ezra Theodore Krantz, the Ku Klux Klan reconstructs its hierarchy to attain loftier goals. By abandoning mere lynchings, the torching of Black churches, and burning crosses on lawns in the dead of night, these powerful men have set their sights on the near complete infiltration of American Government and the White House. Only then can they place a halt to undesirable immigration and detestable race mixing between Whites and Blacks. Incumbent Mississippi Governor Judson Martin, the KKK's best-kept secret, prepares to enter the 1996 Presidential Race with the backing of beguiled Blacks who see him as an honorable man. However, Ezra T. Krantz is forced to reveal unsavory facts concerning the governor's daughter. Governor Martin is overwhelmed by shock and utter revulsion when Krantz reveals that his daughter, Dr. Sabrina Martin, has taken an African American attorney as her lover in Atlanta, Georgia. While reeling in the wake of this unwelcome news, Ezra T. Krantz twists the knife on the burning hatred now raging in the governor's heart when he attests that Dr. Sabrina Martin's conception is the result of her missing mother's affair with yet another Black man. On Big Bear Mountain, in the Rockies of Montana, with the impending lunar eclipse upon a place that seems a bit too close to the moon, adversaries will clash in mortal combat between good and evil.

Virtue and Economy

Essays on Morality and Markets

By: Andrius Bielskis,Kelvin Knight

Interest in Aristotelianism and in virtue ethics has been growing for half a century but as yet the strengths of the study of Aristotelian ethics in politics have not been matched in economics. This ground-breaking text fills that gap. Challenging the premises of neoclassical economic theory, the contributors take issue with neoclassicism’s foundational separation of values from facts, with its treatment of preferences as given, and with its consequent refusal to reason about final ends. The contrary presupposition of this collection is that ethical reasoning about human ends is essential for any sustainable economy, and that reasoning about economic goods should therefore be informed by reasoning about what is humanly and commonly good. Contributions critically engage with aspects of corporate capitalism, managerial power and neoliberal economic policy, and reflect on the recent financial crisis from the point of view of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Containing a new chapter by Alasdair MacIntyre, and deploying his arguments and conceptual scheme throughout, the book critically analyses the theoretical presuppositions and institutional reality of modern capitalism.

The Poems of Shelley: Volume Two

1817 - 1819

By: Kelvin Everest,Geoffrey Matthews

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was one of the major Romantic poets, and wrote what is critically recognised as some of the finest lyric poetry in the English language. This is the second volume of the five-volume The Poems of Shelley, which presents all of Shelley’s poems in chronological order and with full annotation. Date and circumstances of composition are provided for each poem and all manuscript and printed sources relevant to establishing an authoritative text are freshly examined and assessed. Headnotes and footnotes furnish the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary to an informed reading of Shelley’s varied and allusive verse. This volume makes extensive use of the Shelley manuscripts in the Bodleian Library and draws on the substantial recent research which has appeared on Shelley's text and contexts, and on members of his circle such as Mary Shelley, Byron, Godwin and others. It offers significant new datings and contextual exposition of major works including Prometheus Unbound, Laon and Cythna, 'Julian and Maddalo', The Cenci, and Shelley's translations from the Greek, notably his highly original translation of Euripides' The Cyclops. There are also comprehensive treatments of some of Shelley's best known shorter poems, such as 'Lines written among the Euganean Hills' and 'Ozymandias'. The annotation demonstrates the extraordinary range and richness of Shelley's literary intelligence, and situates his work in the revolutionary politics and social upheavals of the early nineteenth century. The text and annotation are supported by an extensive bibliography, a chronology, indexes, and appendices which include a detailed examination of the history of the Cenci story. The volumes of The Poems of Shelley form the most comprehensive edition of Shelley's poetry available to students and scholars.
