We've often heard that our politics is broken and that's a true statement. What has been addressed in this book is why it broke, what does "broken" actually mean, why the traditional "left" and "right" wings of politics are actually all the same thing, why no one is getting what they want out of politics and how the march of globalism is overshadowing the whole world.The author has portrayed an endearing whistle-stop tour of historical forms of politics, not for historical accuracy or completeness, but just enough information to catch up the lay reader with how we got to where we are today. By identifying the historical drivers for political movements, the author uncovers a stark reality that all is not as we believe it to be. As Shakespeare would say "There's something rotten in the State of Denmark" The fact that something is wrong with our politics is absolutely evident. Everyone knows it in their gut. "What" is wrong with our politics will shock almost everyone, from Political Studies Professors to Current Affairs journalists, from the most successful capitalists to the most ardent socialists in countries across the world.The truth about the opposite of socialism should start to heal the wounds, heal the deep divisions in our societies and enable everyone, armed with the new truth revealed in this book, to start working together developing policies and strategies that truly will be for the benefit of everyone. Prepare to cast aside all of your old prejudices (I know, only other people have those) and beliefs that have not worked for you in the past. Instead, embrace a new, empowering and revolutionary way of looking at the world of politics and, through it, at the world that can be.

New perspectives on one of the most important medieval poets.The essays in this volume pay tribute to the distinguished career of Professor R.F. Yeager. Appropriately for one who has done so much to advance scholarship and critical debate on this poet, they focus on John Gower. The approaches taken range widely, from poetics to palaeography, from close critical interpretation to ecocriticism, offering important new readings of Gower and his age. Particular topics addressed include Gower's revisions to the Tale ofRosiphilee; theological and philosophical positions within Gower's work; the violence of manuscript images of Confessio Amantis; and the views of a fellow poet on Gower - Edward Thomas.
