Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. Mark Moskin Design, NYC (Jacket); The Wetterhorn by Albert Bierstadt (Front Jacket Painting) (illustrator). 1st Published by Verso: 1998. 84 pp. Clean, fresh, sharp copy and dust jacket with very little shelf wear. Synopsis: Welcome to the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Five days and six nights of rarefied discussion attended by at least 2,000 gratifyingly important people from 150 countries, with heads of state, finance ministers, policy intellectuals, Nobel Prize-winning physicists, corporate executives as thick upon the ground as pine needles. Among the 1998 notables: Bill Gates, George Soros, Newt Gingrich, and Helmut Kohl (who, in his opening remarks, informs his audience that the euro is coming and they'd better get used to it, citing the leadership example of his mother, a marvelous woman, as wise as she was strong-minded, who taught her children to eat the meals placed in front of them on the kitchen table without sniveling objection). Your guide to this congregation of the international plutocracy is Harper's editor Lewis Lapham, and although he occasionally finds himself at a loss to know which late-afternoon briefings to attend, the one about El Niño or the one about robots, he manages to put the hype surrounding the global economy into a darkly humorous perspective worthy of comparison to Mark Twain's 'The Innocents Abroad.' In addition to his itinerary during the 1998 Davos summit, Lapham also provides an account of a later economic conference held in New York, which also serves as a recap of the extremely volatile year, and a dictionary of received ideas wherein we learn, to pick one example, that bureaucrats are 'Enemies of Free Enterprise'. No bureaucrat knows what it means to meet a payroll or take a risk. Europe has too many of them. Lapham, a writer known for his not always flattering portraits of America's possessing classes, was among the quorum of journalists in attendance for the 27th annual meeting (1998). Attentive to the program of scheduled events, he encountered finance minister and professor of economics gazing into the glass of the future and seeing little except their own reflections. After five days at Davos, he understood that the masters of markets and captains of commercial empire knew as little about the likely movements of the global economy as the waiters plying them with plum brandy and cheese fondue. Read it and weep for the have-nots!

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2005. Retrospective collection of color photographs. One of the greatest photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Jules Spinatsch and Winfried Heininger: Oversize-volume format. Black leatherette boards with titles on cover and spine and photographic reproduction pasted on the back, as issued. Photographs and text by Jules Spinatsch. Essays by Martin Jaeggi and Jamie Shea. Printed on glossy stock paper in Switzerland to the highest standards. The book ironically mimics the look and feel of an Annual Corporate Report. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Jules Spinatsch's "Temporary Discomfort". In five interrelated chapters. An anti-heroic visual approach is shown as the only possible antidote to the toxic effects of the imagery of power. "Spinatsch examines the waiting for the big event as meticulously planned down to the last detail. Whatever will happen is already inscribed in its security architecture. He creates landscapes that could serve as the antithesis to the Romantic tradition. He shows landscapes and cityscapes as they appear under the cold, strategic gaze of security planners, a terrain where every movement must be controlled and contained. Spinatsch mimics the gaze of power, power as a gaze that sees the world only as a security hazard to be contained. At the heart of the security architecture that Spinatsch shows us, we find a hermetically sealed vacuum in which politicians and managers meet to organize world trade in the name of liberal democracy while they smile at TV cameras, remote and untouchable. Spinatsch does not want to be a hero. He is a spy behind enemy lines. Only such a clever anti-strategist can show the cold and imperious glance of power so clearly and hauntingly" (Martin Jaeggi). In the Age of CNN and Fox News, power means having absolute control over the image that people see of power. By taking photographs of the preparations, security measures, and other precautions needed to achieve this goal (while no one else, including all other photographers, was looking or paying attention), Spinatsch exposes the heroic iconography of power as a pompous lie. An absolute "must-have" title for Jules Spinatsch collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Jules Spinatsch. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Jules Spinatsch's "Temporary Discomfort" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 3037780479. Signed by Author.
