Este hecho incontrastable da lugar, sin embargo, a lecturas antagónicas. ¿Artífices de la debacle o salvadores de la patria? ¿Meros brazos ejecutores de los intereses de las clases dominantes o detentores privilegiados de las verdades que gobiernan nuestro tiempo? Lejos de estas dicotomías simplificadoras gracias a una admirable...

Throughout the twentieth century, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheavals on such a scale that few avoided their impacts — from recessions, war, changing fortunes within the iconic steel and coal industries, the rise and decline of manufacturing, as well as the gradual rise to dominance of the service sector — the changes were as dramatic as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences.

Leviathan is back

The federal government has radically expanded its power-through bailouts, "stimulus" packages, a trillion-dollar health-care plan, "jobs bills," massive expansions of the money supply, and much more. But such interventionism did not suddenly materialize with the recent economic collapse. The dangerous trends of government growth, debt increases, encroachments on individual liberty,...
