The left/right confrontational system is coming to an end, since it is failing to further promote the interests of majorities worldwide. For 200 years it has acted as the linchpin of democracy, and politics is almost unthinkable without referring to the concepts of the Left or the Right.This book describes how the old confrontational system has fulfilled a vital function for the progress of humanity, but how in advanced industrial economies everywhere, it is now reaching the end of...

In democracies throughout the industrialised world, political systems are everywhere beginning to unravel, and thinking people - even amongst our leaders - are uncertain of the reason why. Whilst most governments drive towards greater equity and justice, the reality is towards an opposite direction, and the greater polarisation of society.The author of this book points the blame on the failure to politicise the significant issues of our time. Party politics is ideologically tgrappe...

Few books evoke the private life of an era, as it was in England between 1935 and 1954, with such clarity, as this autobography.

Whilst his happiest memories were as an evacuee at his grandpar...

Problems confronting the financial-industrial system, or the ills of the casino economy, have never been more urgent than they are today. This is because debt has reached unprecedented levels in threatening the future of us all, and leading commentators have concluded that it is not a question of if but when the next banking crash occurs.Financial issues are compounded by the fact that the left/right conflict through which democracy has long resolved political issues is now failing...

Anti-Americanism has now become an imperative for the sanity and stability of the world. Over the past 30 years almost every foreign adventure of the US has led to failure in compounding existing problems, and after the withdrawal of her forces, conditions have been left worse than when she intervened. Added to that is the resistance of her government to recognise the reality of global warming, and most recently, blundering policies have instigated a series of unexpected terrorist outrages...

The reform of the financial-industrial infrastructure cannot be undertaken without considering fully the political culture in which it exists. But such reforms can only best be initiated from within the capitalist system itself by those most technically competent to effect necessary change, and hence this book calls upon the business community to take such an initiative.Whilst the first volume of this work traced the development of the new majority and its potential readiness to pr...

In the world of the 90% heterogeneous middle-middle majority, which we find throughout the advanced industrialised economies in both East and West, all are equally affected by the major socio-economic issues of our time. This has resulted inevitably in eroding left/right (or class-based) politics as a relevant or useful tool for the future in advancing the cause of justice and equity.In this second volume of Robert Corfe's major work on Social Capitalism, he turns to examining the ...

Butr democracy as a practicable system hinges on many conditions wich are seldom appreciated by our world leaders, international institutions, or relevant bodies of learning.The evolution of democracy as a system of government and way of life, and the problems to which the former gives rise is broadly d...

The Islamic threat is possibly the most disturbing political issue of our time, as it impacts on the fears of so many ordinary people. The propagation of puritanical Wahabism, through the oil wealth of the Gulf States, ensures that its ideology is spread worldwide as the most influential force in the world today. The entire thinking and life-style of Muslims is dictated by religious demands to the exclusion of anything regarded as profane. Such a mindset established by the Prophet ...
