Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings
| Author | Thomas Paine |
| ISBN | 0451528891 |
Too bad this book isn't a major part of our current educational system. I teach English literature and am convinced that a good dose of this at least once a day will bring our country back from the reality show addicted ninnies that we are all becoming. Wonderful book about the abuses of government, the...
Second Treatise of Government
| Author | John Locke |
| ISBN | 0915144867 |
The Second Treatise is one of the most important political treatises ever written and one of the most far-reaching in its influence.

In 1904, New York nuns brought forty Irish orphans to a remote Arizona mining camp, to be placed with Catholic families. The Catholic families were Mexican, as was the majority of the population.

Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939
| Author | Lizabeth Cohen |
| ISBN | 0521428386 |
It is hard to believe that this book is over twenty years old. I still refer to it when discussing the Great Depression and the formation of the New Deal coalition of the 1930s. I think the greatest strength of the book is the detailed description Cohen gives us of the social safety net that existed in the...
Downtown America: A History of the Place and the People Who Made It
| Author | Alison Isenberg |
| ISBN | 0226385086 |
Downtown America was once the vibrant urban center romanticized in the Petula Clark song—a place where the lights were brighter, where people went to spend their money and forget their worries. But in the second half of the twentieth century, "downtown" became a shadow of its former self, succumbing...
The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works - and How It's Transforming the American Economy
| Author | Charles Fishman |
| ISBN | 0143038788 |
Wal-Mart isn’t just the world’s biggest company, it is probably the world’s most written-about. But no book until this one has managed to penetrate its wall of silence or go beyond the usual polemics to analyze its actual effects on its customers, workers, and suppliers. Drawing on unprecedented...
