Ill Fares the Land

Informationen zum Autor At the time of his death, Tony Judt was the Erich Maria Remarque Professor in European Studies at New York University. In 1996 he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2007 a corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. In 2009 Judt was awarded a Special Orwell Prize for Lifetime Achievement for his contribution to British Political writing. Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 (2005) was a runner up for the 2006 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction and Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction. Klappentext In this exceptional short book, Tony Judt, one of the world's leading historians and intellectuals, argues that we must look to our recent past and once again value fairness over mere efficiency. This concentrated expression of a lifetime's concerns gives us the tools with which to imagine a new form of governance and a better way of life. Zusammenfassung If we are to replace fear with confidence then we need a different story to tell, about state and society alike: a story that carries moral and political conviction. This book provides that story.
