Current economic troubles brings the disparity between military “perks”, which have actually grown in recent years, and the loss of security felt by so much of the civilian sector. Thus the debate turns to the expense of the military, its necessity in its current (expensive) incarnation, and seeming inequity between its members and civilian society. What follows is a discussion of the rise of the Warrior Class from two different theoretical vantage points. First is what Davis and Moore might well have thought of the subject, focusing on how the Warrior Class came about. Next is an application of Swidler’s “toolkit” theory, highlighting the resultant distinct strategies that Warrior Class’ culture provides its member, further driving home the disparity.

Labour promised to create a New Jerusalem, a prosperous country where all strive for the better. However, Source A states that “They had disastrously overestimated Britain’s ability to export”, Britain needed to create money for itself after America’s Lend Lease policy which left Britain in debt for over 50 years, Britain was unable to export a sufficient amount of goods to provide itself with enough money to stabilize the economy, the source follows up with “underestimated her need for dollars”. Britain’s way of dealing with debt was to create more debt for itself; John Maynard Keynes went over to the United States in order to ask America for a loan without interest, the loan which was bestowed upon Britain by the United States and Canada was $9.5 billion. One of the reasons Labour was unable to create a New Jerusalem was due to the fact that they were unable to shut down the debt which anchored Britain’s economy, Labour had little funds to initiate its promises and plans, leading to the failure of a New Jerusalem. Another reason that Labour failed to build a New Jerusalem was the fact that they were unable to upkeep their promise of housing.
Part 4 Chapter 4 The Last Flowering of Asia’s Empires "A People's History of the World" by Chris Harman As the title explains, this chapter covers the last advancements or “flowering” of Asia’s Empires, who, until this time, had been doing remarkably well in comparison to the “backwards societies” of Europe. This society happened to have a lot of fluctuations during this time period. There would be moments of peace, then war, the recovering, then advancement, then peace, then war, and the cycle goes on and on. Right before its final decline, Asia of course had its advancements. New inventions dramatically helped the quality of life.
Many historians feel that corporations attained their wealth during the Civil War as a result of increased government investment in military. Corporations began to establish factory systems and company towns. This led to government legislators giving corporations limited liability and decreasing legislative authority over them. Over time, corporation’s skyrocketed during the Industrial Revolution where the main concept was “Productivity.” Mark Archbar, the producer of this film, says that a corporation can be looked as a “Jigsaw Puzzle,” with the common purpose being end success (Archbar, 2003). This analogy presented a good description of the Industrial Revolution, during this time corporations main goal was productivity and efficiency, which would result in increased
The economy was great, and many of his statements have been proved wrong. He discussed that the US Government was "lagging behind the times". In a sense it’s as if we don’t want a government that is too efficient, in fact it is actually easier to block government action than to achieve something. The information technology in our government isn't nearly as up to date as it is in the private sector. The government is so large; you can only make changes a little at a time.
In my opinion, although for many of Attlee's year in charge there were remarks of triumph, I still believe that it can be question to how far these actually were successful. Source 6 shows us that the Labour Government passed mass amounts of new legislation, and then this resulted in many benefits for the people, and this was emphasised and touched on in Source 4. In contrast to this, Source 5 shows us that the triumphs can be questioned, with their being a sense that the needs of the people were not considered in the attempt of a reform programme. To start of, Source 6 gives of a sense that the things that were achieved by Attlee's government were 'remarkable'. This is because of the Source stating things such as 'Labour had many successes at this time such as the establishments of the NHS'.
Other major objectives at this time were political, economic, and military control of beneficial societies. From previous years, the imperialistic mentality had died as an issue and had received little support from citizens of the United States. However, with the “rapid industrialization and soaring productivity of the national economy,” the country was in a position to become the leading industrial powerhouse by the year 1900 (Healy, 2008). Americans began to feel wealth and
American Populism | Book Review by: Chantay Lowe | U.S. History 1302 | 10/7/2011 10/7/2011 While McMath is better than some of his predecessors in acknowledging that the populist movement was more than just a farmer/labor movement, he is still limited by his too-limited timeframe. Consequently, the story of American populism for McMath is one which emerges in the aftermath of the Depression of 1873 and the end of Reconstruction, has a brief may-fly existence, and dies out by the turn of century. This leaves out, in my view too much that is rightly classified as populist in American history and lights populism with too much of a cast as a merely rural revolt. The first wave of scholarship on populism, which McMath identifies as coming from New Deal-era historians such as John Hicks, saw populism as a reaction to the economic stresses produced by the Depression of 1873, in much the same way that these historians viewed the New Deal as a product of the economic hard times of the Great Depression. This view of populism also suggested (not very convincingly) that populism could unite black and white laborers in a common rebellion against the monied classes.
