The media is cluttered with financial market commentators offering a dizzying array of investment advice and insights. For a behind-the-scenes look at financial forecasting, Joshua M. Brown, author ...of The Reformed Broker blog, and Jeff Macke, of Yahoo Finance, talked to several influential investors and market pundits in an effort to demystify the process.
Horrified by the notion (popularized by the contemporary chemist Marcellin Berthelot) that "today's world is without mystery," many Catholic writers on both sides of the Rhine bemoaned the attendant ...loss of creative freedom, the erosion of society's metaphysical roots, and the crumbling of its religious foundations (p. 1 18). A translator of Renouveau texts from a number of French authors, Franz Blei saw in the Catholic faith the power to foster connectivity in an otherwise chaotic time (p. 209).
Bronner's excellent proof of this claim is the list of contributors to the January-February 1892 issue of the journal La Société Nouvelle: Revue Internationale: "Peter Kropotkin, the Russian ...anarchist; Maurice Barrès, the French conservative; Nietzsche, the German cultural anarchist with reactionary political tendencies; Emile Verhaeren, the Belgian literary bohemian; and William Morris, the English socialist" (13-14). The chapter on the Bavarian Soviet, for example, maintains the focus on the utopian wish to renovate humanity, and it shows what happens when modernist literati like the novelist Gustav Landauer, the poet Erich Mühsam, and the poet-playwright Ernst Toller actually try to wield political power.
