Ronald Reagan: Fate, Freedom, and the Making of… por John Patrick Diggins

Diggins makes a statement at the end that Mr. Reagan was a president ......"politically wise, humane, and magnanimous." My assessment from this reading is that he was politically expedient rather than wise and that, if you wish to believe that he was humane and magnanimous, ask any of the mentally sick people who cannot get the help they need anymore. Sure, the help they could get may not have been very good but it kept them warm and clean and off the streets. And Hayek has a lot to answer for.

Il fascismo non può essere considerato come un fenomeno isolato; esso fu un fenomeno con caratteristiche proprie, che, fin dagli anni Venti, fu guardato con curiosità e interesse da politici, economisti e intellettuali di altri paesi. Diggins nel suo libro, analizza con attenzione le reazioni che i vari settori dell'opinione pubblica statunitense ebbero di fronte al fascismo.

Why Niebuhr Now? por John Patrick Diggins

The essence of Niebuhr as Niebuhr applied his thought to public policy.Sometimes Diggins' interpretations of the great theologian seem just a bit too pat or just a bit off base. The comparison of the German Nietzsche to the "American" Niebuhr is especially simplistic. Although Niebuhr was born in the American Midwest and was an Anglophile, his thought was shaped by his German-immigrant father and by the German pietistic tradition of his early education. Still, it is worthwhile to have some of Niebuhr's most important insights restated and to learn how the late Mr. Diggins applied them to the policies of George W. Bush.… (más)
