Hang Him When He Is Not There
New Year's Eve, 1989. At a residential care home in suburban Australia, fireworks explode in the distance while an elderly man dies in troubling circumstances. Decades later, a proof-reader, disfigured by a childhood accident, prepares to meet a celebrated and reclusive novelist. Between these two figures a subtle and intricate web is woven, implicating the members of a mystical cult, the victim of a beheading, an impostor artist, and the enigmatic presence known only as Agent Vell.
Let the Boys Play
Annotation. Literary Fiction.Two former students of an elite sporting high school - a diligent officer and a wayward journalist - reunite over a strange traffic incident; a giant found asleep at the wheel in a local intersection, wearing a decades old referee's uniform and tiny football boots, his feet mutilated to fit them. So begins Nicholas John Turner's troubled vision; an imminent future in which corporate expansion has affected local sport and law enforcement, and where everything is ultimately insurable.

Ultimately, it is argued, practices described as sharing and critiques of those practices have ...

Sovereign Individuals of Capitalism (RLE Social Theory)
In this sequel to their acclaimed The Dominant Ideology Thesis, the authors develop their analysis of the social and cultural underpinnings of modern capitalism. They confront a central assumption of western culture: namely, that the individual is sovereign, and that capitalism above all other economic forms depends on individualism. These ideas have an unbroken history from Alexis de Tocqueville to Milton Friedman. The paradox of the modern world is that the moral emphasis on the individual is contradicted by the actual organization of economy and society. The authors suggest that individualism and capitalism have no enduring or necessary relationship. Their linkage is entirely accidental a...
