The Fate of Social Democracy in the Neoliberal Era
[ send me this paper ]
Both the social democratic and communist wings of the socialist movement attempted to change society by working to save the oppressed from a capitalist state. The reason for the failure of socialism was that it was being used to gain power, a capitalist stance. Yet, capitalism is also falling prey to the very thing Marx said would happen -- the need for power by the few would drive a wedge between the people and government. The theory behind this wedge is neoliberalism. Marx predicted this wedge would lead to failure of the system because the social infrastructure would be destroyed, and he is not far off his mark. Outline and References. Bibliography lists 6 sources. jvNeoSoc.rtf

The Transformation of Everyday Life and the Evolution of a "Creative Class"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class and How It's Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life". Examining the presumed experiences of two time travelers, one who travels from 1900 to 1950 and the other who travels from 1950 to the present, the contention is presented that neither has our technology been responsible for the shaping of our culture nor have the stronger members in our society imposed their values on the rest of the world in order to shape this culture. Instead we have changed because we sought change and the evolution of a Creative Class has been a critical element in this process. No additional sources are listed.
