Economic analysis underpins and informs economic decision-making, even if there is a lengthy lag between economic analysis and its gradual absorption into economic debate. Once established as common sense, a text of economic analysis becomes incredibly powerful, because it delineates not only what is the object of knowledge but also what it is sensible to talk about or suggest. If one thinks and acts outside the framework of the dominant text of economic analysis, he risks more than simply...

Dr. Laos takes a stark and realistic look at the interplay between culture and politics and makes an intellectually challenging contribution to normative international relations theory. He proposes a new way of defining critical political theory (substantially different from the Frankfurt Schools approach) which leads to a new, dynamic understanding of history, and he argues that the chessboard of power is not so much on the surface of the earth as in the mental network formed by the co...

In this book, Nicolas Laos studies the meaning of the terms "world" and "order," the moral dimensions of each world order model, and wider issues of meaning and interpretation generated by humanity's attempt to live in a meaningful world and to find the logos of the beings and things in the world.

Laos argues that, faced with the modern and the postmodern crises of meaning, we need a new ...

Dr. Laos provides an original, systematic theory of cultural diplomacy which opens a new way of thinking about diplomacy, politics and culture. He investigates methodically the relationship between culture and politics and between the reality of the world and the reality of consciousness.

In this book Dr. Laos explores a revolutionary truth which is often silenced or ignored: There is a dynamic continuity between the structure of the world and the structure of consciousness. Hence, man is the architect of his history, and political economy is part of the reality that is created by the human being. In ancient Greek mythology, Kairos was the god of opportunity and an inspiring symbol of the method by which man can utilize and restructure reality according to his intentionalit...
