Once upon a time in North America, an African American named Barack Hussein Obama became President of the United States of America. The very next day after his inauguration, over 100 white new Militia's were started; the tea party was launched, and Republican so called conservatives began plotting to remove the new President by any means necessary! This book offers a crash course no "pun" intended to understand the Republican Parties ideology, philosophy, aims, and purpose. After reading America Under new Management you will have a clear understanding of the "unclear" yet destructive pledge Republicans have planned for most of America. Contrary to conservative pundits and politicians, the sole ingredients to "world peace" do not consist of conservatism, capitalism, or selfishness. Rather, a balance of conservatism, liberalism, and true equality is the winning combination for America. Today Republicans have declared all out war on anything liberal! Their radical rhetoric and code names used for the President is validating the belief that racism is stronger then ever. Final thought Since America's beginning, many of her minorities haven't felt the American pride for obvious reasons. Ironically, for the first time in American history through the election of President Barack Obama, masses of minorities were overcome with new American pride. Many of us actually never thought this day would ever happen and Republicans/Tea Partiers are hell bent on making sure it never happens again!

Here is the first comprehensive exposition of the theory of state capitalism. Using a Marxist theoretical approach, Buick and Crump show that private capitalism and state capitalism are equally suitable institutional arrangements for allowing capital to exploit wage-workers. State capitalism is examined in its Western form of selective nationalisation and in its full-scale form, as found in Russia or China. The origins of Russian state capitalism are traced back to the 1917 revolution and Lenin's ideology. Finally, Buick and Crump suggest the kind of changed social relationships which would allow world capitalism to be replaced by world socialism.
