In The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original argument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role as an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass as a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of achieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola contends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust understanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be realized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass?s rightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition. 606 $aLiberty$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberty$xPhilosophy. 676 $a973.8092 700 $aBuccola$b Nicholas$01037331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461718303321 996 $aThe political thought of Frederick Douglass$92458242 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05518nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910452596803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-88197-6 010 $a9786613723284 010 $a0-8213-9560-2 035 $a(CKB)2550000000105272 035 $a(EBL)967093 035 $a(OCoLC)799768258 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000738696 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12278132 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000738696 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10672272 035 $a(PQKB)11290471 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC967093 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL967093 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10580578 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL372328 035 $a(OCoLC)802295946 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000105272 100 $a20120801d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPathways to African export sustainability$b[electronic resource] /$fPaul Brenton, Olivier Cadot, and Martha Denisse Pierola 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cWorld Bank$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (140 p.) 225 1 $aDirections in development.

They fail more often than others, incurring time and again the setup costs involved in starting new relationships. This high churning is a source of waste, uncertainty, and discouragement. However, this trend is not inevitable. The high "infant mortality" of African exports is largely explained by Africa's low-income business environment and, once properly benchmarked, Africa's performance in terms of exporter failure is no outlier. Moreover, African exporters show vigorous entrepreneurship, with high entry rates into n 410 0$aDirections in development (Washington, D.C.).$pTrade. 606 $aExports$zAfrica 606 $aSustainability$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExports 615 0$aSustainability 676 $a338.5 700 $aBrenton$b Paul$0265813 701 $aCadot$b Olivier$0456040 701 $aPierola$b Martha Denisse$0901024 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452596803321 996 $aPathways to African export sustainability$92014000 997 $aUNINA
