Senator Gary Hart is co-founder of the Military Reform Caucus, a group of more than one hundred thirty senators and congressmen from both sides of the aisle whose central concern is not the size of our defense budget, but how effectively we use it. After more than four years of intensive military buildup, America Can Win takes a close look at our combat readiness and finds it woefully inadequate. Senator Hart believes the Pentagon comes up with the wrong answers because it asks the wrong questions about such vital matters as weapons, force structure, officer education, troop training, field tactics and military organization. This book calls for fundamental changes in all of these areas. - Jacket flap.".

- catalog abstract "In a unique application of critical theory to the study of the role of ideology in politics, Jeffrey Herf explores the paradox inherent in the German fascists' rejection of the rationalism of the Enlightenment while fully embracing modern technology. He documents evidence of a cultural tradition he calls 'reactionary modernism' found in the writings of German engineers and of the major intellectuals of the. Weimar right: Ernst Juenger, Oswald Spengler, Werner Sombart, Hans Freyer, Carl Schmitt, and Martin Heidegger. The book shows how German nationalism and later National Socialism created what Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, called the 'steel-like romanticism of the twentieth century'. By associating technology with the Germans, rather than the Jews, with beautiful form rather than the formlessness of the market, and with a strong state rather than a predominance of economic values and institutions, these right-wing intellectuals reconciled Germany's strength with its romantic soul and national identity.".
- catalog abstract "Although community participation is one of the most popular themes in development studies today, many of the complex and controversial issues attending the concept have not been properly debated. A major concern is the role of the state in community participation. While some believe that the state should encourage and sponsor community participation, others reject state involvement on the ground that it dilutes participatory ideals. This is the first book to examine in detail the question of the role of the state in community participation. It asks whether state involvement is beneficial or harmful to community participation and whether community and state resources can be harmonized to promote social development. In addition to its central theme, this book traces the history of community participation ideas and provides a detailed exposition of the theory and practice of the subject. It is essential reading for all students of development studies, public administration, sociology, social work and social administration interested in Third World issues.".

- catalog abstract "Countertrade, unfortunately, has been subject to misinterpretation by banks, trade commissioners, and government officials. Too foten, the term is understood only in its narrowest sense: as a form of barter that is employed principally in East-West trde. Today the direction has changed to a North-south emphasis. Countertrade, as dedfined in this book, is really a muuch broader concept: one that encompasses many forms of compensatory trade - including counterpurchase, buy-back, triangular trade and swap - so long as there is always some kind of asset transfer as a condition of purchase. In the pages that follow, the book clarifies the differnet forms of countertrade, explains how the business community can take advantage of both the present and future countertade opportunities, and describes how each of the major forms of countertrade may be negotiated. Contract cosiderations are discussed, and several case studies are present to illustrate the potential benefits of countertrade. Finally, current government attitudes towards countertrade are examined, as well as the specifics of practising countertade in the Third World and Eastern Europe.".

- catalog abstract "This book explores the development of the new "supranational" economy, and how it contributed to the conservative advance and the liberal retreat in economic policy during the 1980s. Howard Wachtel shows how the international economic system worked from 1946 to 1971, and why it collapsed. Each of the key actors in the global drama--banks and corporations, the IMF and the World Bank, central banks and the Federal Reserve Board--is skillfully portrayed. Wachtel provides a concise account of the often arcane and confusing world of foreign exchange rates, the value of gold, Eurodollars, and petrodollars, and the role of the dollar as the international currency. He examines the hidden meanings of the great gold wars of the 1960s and 1970s, and why Vietnam so weakened the dollar only to have OPEC's rise restore its central role. He then reveals the links, in the 1980s, between the oil crisis, Third World debt, the fragile banking system, and merger mania. With a rare gift for making complex issues intellectually accessible, Wachtel lets us understand how in the world economy a private supranationalism, energized by the technological revolution in information and communications, has overwhelmed public institutions and found its ideological home in the "free-market monetarism" lauded today. And in carefully showing how the emerging supranationalism led to the conservative revival and an attack on liberalism and the welfare state, Wachtel suggests why their convergence is fueling the risk of economic collapse, as governments are unable to restore monetary stability in an increasingly unmanageable world economy.".
