31.Discourse on Political Economy and the Social Contract (Oxford World's Classics) by: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
January 21, 1999
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : Discourse on Political Economy and the Social Contract (Oxford World's Classics)
This book is a work of genius for the whole, exquisitely written it offers wisdom on most pages and nonsense on the others. It's been a very long time since I learnt such a large amount, the language has a poetic beauty to it and anybody interested in governance should read this. The thesis of the book is well known (as it indeed should be) but there are some startling facts about the author. Rousseau was serial child abandoner; he seems to have left five children in foundling hospitals and when attacked by his critic, a certain Voltaire, his defence was that the he would have been a poor father and his children would fair better in a foundling hospital. A slightly implausible fact given the high mortality rate at the founding hospital. Still, ... Read More:

From using his detailed memory on scientific research and data, Polish Psychologist Andrew Lobaczewski wrote a paramount work titled "Political Ponerology," which was published in 2006. This book drives the readers to experience the hidden aspects of ponerology and to understand the importance of this book. The author Lobaczewski has lived and studied the nature of psychopathy under the harsh condition of the Soviet Union control. And, he has written this work to bring forth the most important study one has ever undertaken. This book is a third manuscript, and the first two manuscripts did not reach the public's humble mind because the first copy went into the fire before it could be confiscated by the secret police and the second copy (with all ...

This is an important analysis of the mismanagement of the NHS in the last twenty years. The UK NHS is both a good example and a dire warning to the rest of the world. It's a good example in that we achieve population coverage to some level. The dire warning bit is that the standards (of access, and outcomes achieved) are not as high as we like to think, or as good as in comparable European countries.

Imagine a car company that did not like its engineers. That's about the relationship between NHS management and the doctors and nurses who deliver the care to patients. Hunter clearly shows the problems that such an attitude causes and reminds us, ""As any change management text will state, the chances of ensuring that successful implementation ... Read More:

The most extraordinary, scary and believeable book I have ever read. It explains so many things I simply didn't understand. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy it. Read it. And get your friends to read it.
