A bold study of the New Deal from the viewpoint of Europe and American by the Goldwin Smith Professor of Government at Cornell University. Among the topics covered are Europe's Image of America, The Great Depression, Roosevelt, New Tools for the New State, Electricity and Freedom, The Supreme Court and the Constitution, The Meaning of Freedom and Equality, The New Landscape of American Society: Lights and Shadows, and Reflections on Tocqueville. Mario Einaudi was born in 1904 in one of the most influential family in Italy. His father, Luigi Einaudi, was one of Italy's great economic thinkers and became the second President of the Republic of Italy. After graduation from Turin with a dissertation on Edmund Burke, Einaudi spent two years at the London School of Economics, working with William Beveridge and Harold Laski. He worked for the Office of War Information and the Council on Foreign Relations and began to teach future Allied Military Government personnel about European government once a week at Cornell University. Three central tenets to Einaudi's work were: that the study of politics must be embedded in history; that Europe and the United States have much to teach each other about the practice of democratic politics; and that the classics of political theory must inform the study of contemporary democratic states. These themes were best embodied in his 1959 book, The Roosevelt Revolution. More

Jackie Robinson's extraordinary courage, his dignity, and his feats on the field as the first African-American to play on a major league team made him not only a great sports legend but a genuine American hero. In this moving portrait, Falkner explores the lifelong influences on Robinson, the pressures he had to bear, and the contributions he made to the cause of integration. From Robinson's famous battle with the army over segregation to his rigidly maintained restraint in the face of ugly prejudice and life-threatening hostility from baseball fans and players alike, to his post-baseball efforts to help African-Americans establish an economic base within mainstream America, Falkner illuminates Robinson's determination to make a lasting difference in American society.
