The Ephemeral Civilization
The Ephemeral Civilization is an astonishing intellectual feat in which Graeme Snooks develops an original and ground-breaking analysis of changing sociopolitical forms over the past 3,000 years. Snooks challenges the prevailing theories of social evolutionism with an innovative approach which also looks ahead to the twenty-first century. The Ephemeral Civilization builds on the model of dynamic strategy outlined in the author's highly acclaimed companion volume, The Dynamic Society. The Ephemeral Society is divided into three parts - theory, history and future.
Ark of the Sun
ARK OF THE SUN provides an entirely new and holistic explanation for the origin and transformation of both life and human society. It does so by employing the revolutionary, demand-driven, general dynamic theory developed by Graeme Snooks over a life-time of cutting edge research. This book provides the capstone to Professor Snooks' extensive research, spanning five decades, on biological and social evolution. ARK OF THE SUN shows and explains how life on Earth is driven and shaped by a dynamic life system the author calls the "strategic logos." The "logos" is an entropy-defying, shock-deflecting system that has enabled biological forms and their societies to prosper in a hostile world. It i...
The Selfcreating Mind
In this ambitious and imaginative work, noted social and biological theorist Graeme Donald Snooks explores the origin, development, and role of the self-conscious mind. The Selfcreating Mind_which displaces the mind hypothesized by psychoanalytic, Darwinian, and complexity theorists_provides a new perspective on human nature; the origin, nature, and purpose of the self-conscious mind; the reasons for its continuing breakdown in a significant minority of the population; and on the surest road to mental recovery.
The Global Crisis Makers
The author argues that we should not be diverted by the East Asian 'meltdown', which is a predictable outcome of global dynamics. Of real concern, however, is the 'hidden crisis', which has been inadvertently engineered by neoliberal economists who dominate the world's financial institutions. They are the global crisis makers, who have convinced governments to abandon strategic leadership and to impose crippling deflationary policies. By employing the innovative theoretical and empirical work published in his recent series of remarkable books, Graeme Snooks shows how this threat to progress and liberty can be overcome.
The Dynamic Society
This book discusses the nature and process of change in human society over the past two million years. The author draws on economic, historical and biological concepts to examine the driving forces of change and looks to likely developments in the future. This analysis produces some very thought-provoking and controversial conclusions.
The Death of Zarathustra
This book explores truth in human society - its nature, role, and future. But it does so in an unorthodox way, by employing a fictional framework. Truth conveyed within a lie. It is an exploration that ranges from Greek rationalism (truth told to outsiders and lies to insiders) in the West and Zoroastrianism (Truth versus the Lie) in the East, to the pragmatism of today, and beyond. It is the year 2044 in a world reeling from the devastating effects of a radical experiment by governments to impose a draconian global climate-mitigation program. After decades of oppression, right-wing forces in Metropolis, the world's leading society, have thrown off these shackles, taken political control, in...
Was the Industrial Revolution Necessary?
By examining the wider dimensions of the Industrial Revolution, the authors draw conclusions to answer the question of the title.
The Laws of History
In this unorthodox and trail-blazing work Graeme Snooks argues that it is possible to construct a scientific theory of human history, but only if we adopt a radically materialist theory of human nature.
Global Transition
Global Transition is an innovative study that analyses the problems and prospects of the Third World by building on the theoretical contribution - the dynamic-strategy model - made in the author's acclaimed Longrun Dynamics . It formulates a general economic and political theory he calls the global strategic transition (GST) model. The central feature of this model is the global strategic demand-response mechanism involving an interaction between the world's expanding strategic core and its fringe, which is facilitated through strategic inflation. This model also provides the basis for a new policy approach to economic development.
Economics without Time
This is a book about real time in economics, a dimension increasingly unused by the leading edge of the profession. This, it is argued, has serious implications for economics role as the premier policy-advising source for national governments and international organisations. It is also a book about the great waves of economic change that are surging out of the distant past and into the future - waves of change that economists have failed even to identify let alone analyse. It however challenges economics to put its house in order before it is engulfed by this rising tide. But, the question is however, will economics have time?
