Social Virtue and the Common Good - Leader`s Manual

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is the principle of social organization by which men of differing classes might live in harmony? Why is it that the economic system cannot be viewed outside of the context of a social and political system that honors human dignity? Is the social message of the Gospel only a theory, or is it a basis and motivation for action? See why Catholic social teaching demands that we create a new category in our thinking. The Leader`s Manual, companion resource for study group leaders, lays out and simplifies the process of beginning a study group and leading it to its completion. It contains not only the questions but also answers for document study and catechesis and gives the leader both direction and practical tips in facilitating discussion for each of the fifteen sessions.

Social Virtue and the Common Good - Study Guide

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is the principle of social organization by which men of differing classes might live in harmony? Why is it that the economic system cannot be viewed outside of the context of a social and political system that honors human dignity? Is the social message of the Gospel only a theory, or is it a basis and motivation for action? See why Catholic social teaching demands that we create a new category in our thinking, since unlike contemporary political discourse, it does not concern worldly or temporal ends simply for their own sake. Through this study of Catholic social teaching, take up the challenge to overcome the tendency of looking at social and economic questions purely in terms of `public policy` solutions. Here you can study the sources directly - Rerum novarum (Leo XIII), Quadragesimo anno (Pius XI) and Centesimus annus (John Paul II) - in their entirety without the filtration that often comes through a textbook summary. The Study Guide also contains questions at the… [detailed...]

Social Work in the Era of Devolution: Toward a Just Practice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: While economic indicators in recent years have shown an unprecedented level of prosperity, social indicators tell a different story: growing economic disparity, increasing numbers of Americans lacking health insurance, increased levels of poverty among our youngest and oldest citizens, and an anti-entitlement political climate that has eroded assistance to those most in need. In this era of `devolution,` the federal government has been increasingly removed from the provision of services and support to vulnerable populations. This book presents a framework for understanding the impact of these developments on the practice of social work. The first section focuses on contemporary social forces, processes, and policy changes and their implications forthe social work profession. The second section explores practical issues as they affect selected vulnerable populations. The concluding section describes interventions that have been taking place at grass-roots levels, including… [detailed...]

Social and Environmental Impacts in the North: Methods in Evaluation of Socio-Economic and Environmental Consequences of Mining and Energy Production … 4, Earth and Environmental Sciences, V. 31.)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Future development in the Arctic and Subarctic region requires careful attention to the possible consequences of the development activities themselves, in relation to their environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts. A more thorough understanding of the impact of future activities, however, demands the dissemination and confrontation of results from different regions and different scientific traditions. This requires scientific cooperation, not only across disciplines but across border. Primarily it requires both consensus and innovations in regard to methods. This book confronts such differences in approaches and methods in relation to the analysis of socioeconomic and environmental consequences of large-scale mineral and energy development activities in the Arctic and Subarctic, establishing the common ground upon which future research activities can be based.

Socialist Unemployment

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the first political analysis of unemployment in a socialist country, Susan Woodward argues that the bloody conflicts that are destroying Yugoslavia stem not so much from ancient ethnic hatreds as from the political and social divisions created by a failed socialist program to prevent capitalist joblessness. Under Communism the concept of socialist unemployment was considered an oxymoron, when it appeared in postwar Yugoslavia, it was dismissed as illusory or as a transitory consequence of Yugoslavia`sunorthodox experiments with worker-managed firms. In Woodward`s view, however, it was only a matter of time before countries in the former Soviet bloc caught up with Yugoslavia, confronting the same unintended consequences of economic reforms required tobring socialist states into the world economy. By 1985, Yugoslavia`s unemployment rate had risen to 15 percent. How was it that a labor-oriented government managed to tolerate so clear a violation of the socialist commitment to full… [detailed...]

Socializing Capital

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ever since Adolph Berle and Gardiner Means wrote their classic 1932 analysis of the American corporation, The Modern Corporation and Private Property , social scientists have been intrigued and challenged by the evolution of this crucial part of American social and economic life. Here William Roy conducts a historical inquiry into the rise of the large publicly traded American corporation. Departing from the received wisdom, which sees the big, vertically integrated corporation as the result of technological development and market growth that required greater efficiency in larger scale firms, Roy focuses on political, social, and institutional processes governed by the dynamics of power. The author shows how the corporation started as a quasi-public device used by governments to create and administer public services like turnpikes and canals and then how it germinated within a system of stock markets, brokerage houses, and investment banks into a mechanism for the organization… [detailed...]
