Edwin Lieuwen (February 8, 1923 – May 25, 1988) was an American historian, professor, and author. His area of expertise was focused on Latin America. His work was a major precursor to the establishing of the Latin American Institute. After his return from the Netherlands, he worked for three years as a policy analyst at the United States State Department for three years. In 1957 he was appointed as chairman to the history department as the University of New Mexico. Lieuwen found himself in an academic circle that included France Vinton Scholes as the authority on Latin American studies. His work established the Latin American studies program which would later become the Latin American Institute. He wrote for the Kirkus Review, The Journal of Economic History, Foreign Affairs, and several other academic journals. He was considered an expert in several Latin-American fields including oil in Venezuela. An award was named after Lieuwen by the Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies for exceptional teaching and studies into Latin American policy and relations. More

DJ has wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Charles Edward Lindblom (born March 21, 1917 ) is a Sterling Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Economics at Yale University. He is a former president of the American Political Science Association and the Association for Comparative Economic Studies and also a former director of Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies. In his best known work, Politics And Markets, Lindblom notes the "Privileged position of business in Polyarchy". He also introduces the concept of "circularity", or "controlled volitions" where "even in the democracies, masses are persuaded to ask from elites only what elites wish to give them." Thus any real choices and competition are limited. Worse still, any development of alternative choices or even any serious discussion and consideration of them is effectively discouraged. Related to this is the concurrent concentration of the U.S. mass communications media into an Oligopoly, which effectively controls who gets to participate in the national dialogue and who suffers a censorship of silence. Politics And Markets provoked a wide range of reactions that extended beyond the realms of academia. Due to his criticism of democratic capitalism and polyarchy, Lindblom was labeled a "Closet Communist" by conservative critics. Ironically, Marxist and Communist critics chided him for not going far enough. More
