        A neoliberal revolution?

        Thatcherism and the reform of British pensions

        by Hugh Pemberton, James Freeman, Aled Davies

        This book examines the Thatcher government's attempt to revolutionise Britain's pensions system in the 1980s and create a nation of risk-taking savers with an individual stake in capitalism. Drawing upon recently-released archival records, it shows how the ideas motivating these reforms journeyed from the writings of neoliberal intellectuals into government and became the centrepiece of a plan to abolish significant parts of the UK's welfare state and replace these with privatised personal pensions. Revealing a government that veered between political caution and radicalism, the book explains why this revolution failed and charts the malign legacy left by the evolutionary changes that ministers salvaged from the wreckage of their reforms. The book contributes to understanding of policy change, Thatcherism, and international neoliberalism by showing how major reforms to social security could reflect neoliberal thought and yet profoundly disappoint their architects.

        The secret battle

        Emotional survival in the great war

        by Michael Roper, Bertrand Taithe, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne

        What did home mean to British soldiers and how did it help them to cope with the psychological strains of the Great War? Family relationships lie at the heart of this book. It explores the contribution letters and parcels from home played in maintaining the morale of this largely young, amateur army. And it shows how soldiers, in their turn, sought to adapt domestic habits to the trenches. Pursuing the unconscious clues within a rich collection of letters and memoirs with the help of psychoanalytical ideas, including those formulated by the veteran tank commander Wilfred Bion, this study asks fundamental questions about the psychological resources of this generation of young men. It reveals how the extremities of battle exposed the deepest emotional ties of childhood, and went on marking the post-war domestic lives of those who returned. ;

        Gedichte

        Renée Sintenis war ein Star im Berlin der zwanziger Jahre! Zu ihrem Freundeskreis zählten Rilke und Ringelnatz, ihre Skulpturen wurden von Alfred Flechtheim in Paris und New York ausgestellt, als erste Bildhauerin wurde sie in die Berliner Akademie der Künste gewählt. Ihre berühmteste Tierskulptur steht heute an der Zehlendorfer Autobahn: der bronzene Berliner Bär, weltweit bekannt geworden als Miniatur, die in Gold und Silber jährlich bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen verliehen wird. Im Jahr 1949 erschien der Band "Tiere", eine Auswahl der schönsten Tiergedichte von Joachim Ringelnatz, illustriert mit dreizehn kongenialen Tierzeichnungen von Renée Sintenis.
