Review of I am not a Man, I am Dynamite! Friedrich Nietzche and the Anarchist Tradition, by John Moore and Spencer Sunshine (Eds.)

AbstractThis chapter briefly surveys the political and economic issues posed by the debate over globalization and then reformulates them with reference to the problematic relation between markets and ethics in the history of philosophy. Beginning with Aristotle, and then proceeding to Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and G.W.F. Hegel, the chapter argues that markets always and everywhere presuppose normative consensus, with the implication that any notion of autonomous globalizing markets is an abstraction that threatens the human right to life and dignity.

A highly original and controversial examination of events in Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1927 in which Professor Day challenges both the standard Trotskyite and Stalinist interpretations of the period.

Professor Day concentrates upon the economic implications of revolutionary Russia's isolation from Europe. How to build socialism - in a backward, war-ravaged society, without aid from the West: this problem lay behind many of the most important political conflicts of Soviet Russia's formative years
