Harold Joseph Laski (1893–1950)
Autor de The American presidency
Sobre El Autor
Born in Manchester, England, and educated at New College, Oxford, the British political scientist and Labor party leader Harold Laski taught history at Harvard University from 1916 to 1920. At that time, he returned to England to teach at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where mostrar más he remained until his death. His name and the London School became almost synonymous terms in the minds of many, particularly students from the United States and from Asia and Africa, who learned from Laski the political knowledge necessary to overthrow their British rulers. A brilliant lecturer, he espoused a modified form of Marxism while holding a strong belief in individual freedom. Laski was a prolific writer and an active Socialist politician as well as a sensitive commentator on British and U.S. political institutions. Oddly, the letters that he exchanged during a period of 19 years with his American friend, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, published in two volumes in 1953, are read and appreciated more widely today than any of his books.

La repubblica presidenziale americana. por Harold Joseph Laski
H.Laski in questo saggio presenta una interpretazione dlla particolare struttura delle istituzioni americane con un'ampia documentazione storica sulla loro origine e sul loro sviluppo.
Holmes is the liberal Justice appointed to an archly conservative bench, and the author of the best opinions of the SCOTUS in his day, mostly Dissents. Harold Laski (1893-1950) was a political theorist and a leading British intellectual. Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics from 1926 until his death in 1950, he was a notorious figure loved and respected by students and colleagues alike. He knew both the great and the good, including Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. Holmes berated him for trying to be a 'do-gooder'. He was a member of the Labour party and wrote many of its policies, influenced more by Stuart Mill than Marx. Laski was the author of "The Rise of Liberalism; the philosophy of Business Civilization" (1936) which shows that Status was replaced by Contract as the foundation of society and it accelerated the spread of prosperity.
