The Economics of Global Turbulence
A commanding survey of the world economy from 1950 to the present, from the author of the acclaimed The Boom and the Bubble.
Property and Progress
In writing these celebrated essays Robert Brenner had an electric impact on the debate regarding the transition from feudalism to capitalism.
The Boom and the Bubble
A sustained period of significant growth in the US, however, seemed to save the day against all the odds. So impressive was the surface appearance of this rescue mission that all manner of commentators proclaimed-once again-that a 'new economy' or 'new paradigm' of unlimited and harmonious growth had been forged. Today, as recession looms, the babble about Internet start-ups is exposed as vapid. Yet the pundits are no nearer an understanding of how or why the boom turned into a bubble, or why the bubble has burst. In this crisp and forensic book, Robert Brenner demonstrates that the boom was always a fragile phenomenon-buoyed up by absurd levels of debt and stock-market overvaluation-which n...
Merchants and Revolution
Merchants and Revolution examines the activities of London's merchant community during the early Stuart period. Proposing a new understanding of long-term commercial change, Robert Brenner explains the factors behind the opening of long-distance commerce to the south and east, describing how the great City merchants wielded power to exploit emerging business opportunities, and he profiles the new colonial traders, who became the chief architects of the Commonwealth's dynamic commercial policy.
The Brenner Debate
The Brenner Debate discusses the transition from feudalism to capitalism in Western Europe through a variety of view points.
The Faith and Doubt of Holocaust Survivors
The Faith and Doubt of Holocaust Survivors reveals the victims' frank and thought-provoking answers to searching questions about their experiences: Was the Holocaust God's will? Was there any meaning or purpose in the Holocaust? Was Israel worth the price six million had to pay? Did the experience in the death camps bring about an avowal of faith? A denial of God? A reaffirmation of religious belief? Did the Holocaust change beliefs about the coming of the Messiah, the Torah, the Jews as the chosen people, and the nature of God? Drawing on the responses of seven hundred survivors, Reeve Robert Brenner reveals the changes, rejections, reaffirmations, doubts, and despairs that have so profound...

Rebel Rank and File
Often considered irredeemably conservative, the US working class actually has a rich history of revolt. Rebel Rank and File uncovers the hidden story of insurgency from below against employers and union bureaucrats in the late 1960s and 1970s. From the mid-1960s to 1981, rank-and-file workers in the United States engaged in a level of sustained militancy not seen since the Great Depression and World War II. Millions participated in one of the largest strike waves in US history. There were 5,716 stoppages in 1970 alone, involving more than 3 million workers. Contract rejections, collective insubordination, sabotage, organized slowdowns, and wildcat strikes were the order of the day. Workers targeted much of their activity at union leaders, forming caucuses to fight for more democratic and combative unions that would forcefully resist the mounting offensive from employers that appeared at the end of the postwar economic boom. It was a remarkable era in the history of US class struggle, one rich in lessons for today’s labor movement.
Petrified Minds
Jason. Jennifer. Paula. Each suffering from petrifying, mental trauma inhibiting living normal lives-each knowing they couldn't continue without help. Without change. Without courage. But . . . hypnotism? Really? Not something they previously considered. It was, however, the decision that changed their lives. Robert Brenner's novel, Petrified Minds, chronicles hypnosis therapy sessions relating to three patients-one battles IBS, the other, asthma and personal assault, and the third fears flying and travel. Brenner digs deeply into their petrified, subconscious minds, allowing readers to delve with him into the root causes of his patients' emotional responses. Never knowing what to expect, each hypnosis session is different as Brenner searches to understand experiences from his patients' pasts-experiences preventing them from blossoming into the people they're meant to be.
