    Het Methusalem-mysterie, vergrijzing: zegen of bedreiging? [GESIGNEERD]

    Gesigneerd door auteur met persoonlijke opdracht. Paperback, mooi exemplaar.

    De Nederlandse samenleving verandert de komende decennia ingrijpend. Er komen steeds meer ouderen en er zullen minder jongeren zijn die voor hen zorgen, ook in financieel opzicht. Vooral de mogelijke onbetaalbaarheid van deze vergrijzing roept angstbeelden op van een toekomstige oorlog tussen de generaties. Door foute aannames, verkeerde interpretaties en politiek gekleurde discussies vormt de vergrijzingsproblematiek voor velen langzamerhand een mysterie. Kan een rijk land als Nederland met een uitstekend pensioensysteem werkelijk de kosten van een vergrijzende samenleving niet dragen? Staan er tegenover de lasten van steeds meer ouderen ook geen materiële en immateriële baten? En wordt de vergrijzing niet al te gemakkelijk als argument opgevoerd voor ingrijpende veranderingen in sociale voorzieningen? Duidelijk is dat er keuzen gemaakt moeten worden. Ongewijzigd beleid is geen optie. Paniekerige maatregelen werken averechts. Er is, kortom, een onderbouwde visie voor de langere termijn nodig die uitstijgt boven de beperkte tijdshorizon van de politiek. Het Methusalem-mysterie geeft een glasheldere analyse van de vele aspecten van de vergrijzing. Het zet de feiten op een rij en biedt een overzicht van mogelijke oplossingen, om ons goed voor te kunnen bereiden op de gevolgen van een vergrijzende maatschappij.

    Incorrectly Political....

    Incorrectly Political. Augustine and Thomas More

    Mooi exemplaar, Engelstalige paperback, geen naam voorin, miniem leesvouwtje in de rug, nette staat.

    Augustine in the fourth and fifth centuries and Thomas More in the sixteenth were familiar with the deceits and illusions that enabled even the most vile rulers to shore up their dignity and that gave repressive regimes an inviolability of sorts. Both men knew the politics of their times, both were involved in politics, and both were at one time politically ambitious. Augustine needed and made good use of government's powers of coercion and damage control in his struggle against the Donatists. The clear advantages of political protection and correction preoccupied More in his battle against Martin Luther. Both later changed their minds and believed, finally, the political imagination, based as it is on a desire for power, always and inevitably leads to devastation and suffering. Peter Iver Kaufman explains how and why we have failed to appreciate Augustine's and More's profound political pessimism, reintroducing readers to two of the Christian tradition's most enigmatic yet influential figures. Each had been disturbed by the reach of his own political ambitions--as by those of contemporaries. Each knew that government was useful--yet always deceitful. And each wrote a classic--widely read to this day, Augustine's City of God and More's Utopia,as well as abundant correspondence and polemical tracts to explain why government on earth might be used, though never meaningfully improved.

    Strangers in Their Own Land

    Engelstalig gebonden boek met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. 

    The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald Trump

    "A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a smart, respectful and compelling book."
    --Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review

    When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, "Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild's 'strangers in their own land' and a new elite." Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called "humble and important" by David Brooks and "masterly" by Atul Gawande, Hochschild's book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others.

    The paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and also includes a readers' group guide at the back of the book.

    Ending the Vietnam War

    Ending the Vietnam War

    Engelstalige uitgave. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    With new and updated material.

    Now, for the first time, Kissinger gives us in a single volume an in-depth, inside view of the Vietnam War, personally collected, annotated, revised, and updated from his bestselling memoirs and his book Diplomacy.

    Many other authors have written about what they thought happened—or thought should have happened—in Vietnam, but it was Henry Kissinger who was there at the epicenter, involved in every decision from the long, frustrating negotiations with the North Vietnamese delegation to America's eventual extrication from the war.

    Here, Kissinger writes with firm, precise knowledge, supported by meticulous documentation that includes his own memoranda to and replies from President Nixon. He tells about the tragedy of Cambodia, the collateral negotiations with the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, the disagreements within the Nixon and Ford administrations, the details of all negotiations in which he was involved, the domestic unrest and protest in the States, and the day-to-day military to diplomatic realities of the war as it reached the White House.

    As compelling and exciting as Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, Ending the Vietnam War also reveals insights about the bigger-than-life personalities—Johnson, Nixon, de Gaulle, Ho Chi Minh, Brezhnev—who were caught up in a war that forever changed international relations. This is history on a grand scale, and a book of overwhelming importance to the public record.
