Capitalism Since World War II: The Making and Breakup of the Great Boom

Armstrong, Philip

Fontana

In this first in-depth biography of Brother Ephrem O'Dwyer, who was unarguably the most influential brother in the history of the U.S. Province of Holy Cross, Philip Armstrong focuses on Ephrem's pioneering efforts to clarify the brothers' role in a province that sometimes took for granted or ignored their contributions. As this book illustrates, Ephrem emerged as a natural leader of the brothers, one who guided them toward the firm establishment of their place in the congregation at a time when their original mission was in danger of being lost. Armstrong begins with a brief look at Ephrem's youth in Ireland, his emigration to the United States, his novitiate and eventual profession of vows in 1913, and his early career as a high school teacher and administrator. Armstrong then focuses on the period of 1931-1956, during part of which time Ephrem served as treasurer for both the Holy Cross province and the University of Notre Dame and as a member of the provincial and general councils. In these positions he honed his exceptional adminisitrative skills and sharpened his determination to defend the rights of the brothers, which led to his integral involvement in the juridical division of the province of priests and brothers to autonomous provinces in 1945. Ephrem was then elected the first provincial superior of the brothers in the United States, and in 1956, when a general chapter mandated the reorganization of the brothers' province into three geographical units, he agreed to lead the new vice-province in West Haven, CT for a six-year term. At the age of 84 he returned to Notre Dame where he died in 1978. Throughout this work Armstrong portrays Ephrem honestly, discussing not only his strengths but also his very human struggles. Ephrem's life story is enhanced with over 40 written and oral remembrances of him, recounted by those who knew him personally and professionally. A More Perfect Legacy will appeal to all those associated with the apostolates of Holy Cross, those interested in the history of the congregation, and those studying the place of religious brothers in the Church.

Shakespeare in Psychoanalysis (Accents on Shakespeare)

The link between psychoanalysis as a mode of interpretation and Shakespeare's works is well known. But rather than merely putting Shakespeare on the couch, Philip Armstrong focuses on the complex and fascinatingly fruitful mutual relationship between Shakespeare's texts and psychoanalytic theory. He shows how the theories of Freud, Rank, Jones, Lacan, Erikson, and others are themselves in a large part the product of reading Shakespeare. Armstrong provides an introductory cultural history of the relationship between psychoanalytic concepts and Shakespearean texts. This is played out in a variety of expected and unexpected contexts, including: *the early modern stage *Hamlet and The Tempest *Freud's analytic session *the Parisian intellectual scene *Hollywood *the virtual space of the PC.

Capitalism Since 1945

This book charts the development of capitalism in the post-war period and describes the challenges that the system has faced since 1945. It describes the measures that were taken to deal with the post-war slump and the ways in which most capitalist economies achieved steady growth and affluence in the 1950s and 1960s. It goes on to show how this boom was undermined by inflation and falling profits, and high unemployment ensued.

The Rosary has enjoyed renewed popularity since Pope John Paul II added a new mystery to the Rosary in 2002, the first such addition since Catholics began praying the Rosary in 1569. The new Luminous Mysteries join the three traditional Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries.Now Br. Armstrong encourages us to tap our imaginations, aided by inspiration, to create additional, personal mysteries as well. He suggests that the catalyst for these new, personal mysteries can be diverse elements, such as our own vocation, scripture, memories from our youth, and The Golden Rule.
