Arms And Influence

de Schelling Thomas C. Schelling

19,86€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "This is a brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing."—Gordon A. Craig, New York Times Book Review Originally published more than fifty years ago, this landmark book explores the ways in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Anne-Marie Slaughter’s new introduction to the work shows how Schelling’s framework—conceived of in a time of superpowers and mutually assured destruction—still applies to our multipolar world, where wars are fought as much online as on the ground.

 "The Lonely Crowd . . . remains not only the best-selling book by a professional sociologist in American history, but arguably one that has had the widest influence on the nation at large."—Orlando Patterson, New York Times Considered by many to be one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, The Lonely Crowd opened exciting new dimensions in our understanding of the problems confronting the individual in twentieth-century America.

"Indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand American society. After half a century, this book has lost none of its capacity to make sense of how we live."—Todd Gitlin "One of the most important books of the twentieth century."—Gideon Lewis-Kraus, New Yorker "Brilliant and original."—Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. "The Lonely Crowd remains at least as instructive now as it was in 1950, all the more so as the reality it perceived closes in on us."—Jonathan Yardley, New Republic
