Accurate Description & Great Customer Service
The specific book publication I ordered was the first in a two volume set (but other publications/editions of this book are sometimes sold in a three volume set). The product was accurately identified. Upon arrival the quality of the book matched the description of it. Also, when I inquired about the book, the customer service was quite friendly and competent. Very good service!

How Government and Religion Subdue Free Societies
This is a fantastic book for people who want to learn the macro-concepts of how societies function and how they all eventually become overwhelmed by government and religious bureaucracy.

Max Weber linked religious satisfaction with economic pride in his most popular book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Then he tried to expand the sociology of developmental history by writing about religion in China, India, and ancient Judaism. The end of Max Weber's life as a professor of economics in 1920 was around the time in which a Woody Wilson wet dream was falling apart without having all the Presbyterians die laughing from an overdose of World War Wit. Instead of trying to find crimes against humor in the work of Max Weber, it is more fruitful to remind ourselves of the Freudian aspects of our failure to maintain all the old ego boundaries as modern societies ride a cosmic pogo stick down the stairs to end up in the basement of as nuclear submarine.Society is a strange combination of factors which is vulnerable to purely person relationships, which are aptly described by Max Weber in connection with vocational ethics in Economy and Society (1968, 1978) as power relationships:subordination . . .dominated by caprice and grace,indignation and love,and most of all by the mutual pietyand devotion of masters and subalterns,after the fashion of the family. (p. 600).Moses and God. Nixon and Kissinger, Obama and no witnessesMoses confronted God face to face. Nixon had Kissinger to share his views on the importance of superpower activities. Since the death of Max Weber in 1920, World War Wit has expanded to make any form of social science merely an intellectual comfort zone for thinkers who find the existing dominate tricks oppressive. Max Weber pictured bureaucracy rationalizing activities, but current practice is to hide the nature of particular times by shifting money to meet capital requirements. Paper money dominated the financial problems in the times of Max Weber (who wrote that the United States had little interest in the foreign exchange value of American money, Economy and Society, p. 183) and Keynes, who wrote a Tract on Monetary Reform in 1923.Big time societies maintain a marketing system which makes the marginal thinking of millionaires and billionaires possible. Financial extremes are schismatic. The current system of political finance just became a factor in a governor of Illinois being sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption after being tried in federal court. The irony of justice in a cosmic pogo stick society, with everything hopping back and forth like a gambling addiction trying to play faster than the triumph of therapeutic messages coming from the highly educated spear chucker lip in the White House, is a product of worldwide acceptance of the deep unreal.Intellect should get the Martin Luther Stonehood award when it has a sharper definition of how the importance of an isolated instant in time can equal the danger of training trashy people for high stakes World War Wit inside jobs wiping out unauthorized financial transactions when political power determines whose money has been derived from illegitimate activities:As far as sociology is concerned,power of command does not existunless the authority which is claimedby somebody is actually heeded to asocially relevant degree. (p. 948).Also where war is a constantstate of affairs, the prestige ofthe older men is likely to sinkbelow that of the warriors andthere often develops a democraticbias of the younger groups againstthe prestige of old age (sexagenarios de ponte). (pp. 950-951).The conditions of administrationof mass structures are radically differentfrom those obtaining in small associationsresting upon neighborly or personal relationships. (p. 951).The money economy is of verygreat importance for the whole bearingof bureaucracy, yet by itself it is by nomeans decisive for the existence of bureaucracy. (pp. 963-964).The increasingly bureaucratic organizationof all genuine mass parties offers the moststriking example of the role of sheer quantityas a leverage for the bureaucratization of asocial structure; in Germany, above all theSocial Democratic Party, and abroad both ofthe American parties are prime examples. (p. 971).A direct road leads . . .to the present position of the policemanas the "representative of God on earth." (p. 972).And as far as complicated tasks are concerned,paid bureaucratic work is not only more precisebut, in the last analysis, it is often cheaper thaneven formally unremunerated honorific service. (p.974).As in the song "Cosmic Charlie" by the Grateful Dead, I am concerned that we find the deep unreal when:the very last lately inquired about you.Trying to see everything as dynamic, transition failures can crop up as dramatically as reverse warrior is a yoga position coinciding with a change of breath, or a financial crisis jumps on a cosmic pogo stick bouncing back and forth. The cracks in time of the deep unreal might parallel the significance of the primary question Kierkegaard raised in his book, Philosophical Crumbs. Then he wrote a Concluding Unscientific Postscript.

2巻セットにはなっていない?
先日、同書をAmazon.jpにて購入しましたが、本来2巻セットのはずなのに、1冊のみ、しかも第2巻のみが届きましたので、慌てて返品しました。商品の説明にも2巻セットかどうかの明記がなく、曖昧です。もう少しこの点明確にしていただきたいです。
