Geoffrey Brennan, Philip Pettit
The Economy of Esteem: An Essay on Civil and Political Society

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book argues that people care about the opinion that others hold of them, and that the actions they take to raise the esteem they enjoy produce social patterns which, in turn, affect individual economic behaviour. Written by an economist and a philosopher, Part One introduces the concept of human beings as esteem-seeking, esteem-giving creatures and points the way towards an economy of esteem. Part Two illustrates that economy in practice, while Part Three considers how we might hope to mobilize the forces of esteem in a well-designed political and social order. [detailed...]

The Economy of Esteem: An Essay on Civil and Political Society

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This groundbreaking book by two distinguished scholars from different disciplines begins by outlining the psychology of esteem and the way the working of that psychology can give rise to an economy. It then shows how a variety of social patterns that areotherwise anomalous come to make a lot of sense within an economics of esteem. And it looks, finally, at the ways in which the economy of esteem may be reshaped so as to make for an improvement -- by reference to received criteria -- in overall social utcomes. While making connections with older patterns of social theorising, it offers a novel orientation for contemporary thought about how society works and how it may be made to work. It puts the economy of esteem firmly on the agenda of economic ad social science and of moral and political theory. [detailed...]

The Economy of Iran: Dilemmas of an Islamic State (Library of Modern Middle East Studies)

Publisher: —
Description: The Islamic revolution of 1979 heralded an expanded economic role for the Iranian state in safeguarding the revolution’s redistributive aims. However, the Iranian economy in the 1980s and 1990s deteriorated markedly, and the state’s enlarged role in the economy has been accompanied by acute macroeconomic instability and a sharp decline in the standard of living.

B. R. Tomlinson
The Economy of Modern India, 1860-1970 (New Cambridge History of India III)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the first comprehensive and interpretative account of the history of economic growth and change in colonial and post-colonial India. Dr. Tomlinson draws together and expands on the specialist literature dealing with imperialism, development and underdevelopment, the historical processes of change in agriculture, trade and manufacture, and the relations among business, the economy and the state. What emerges is a picture of an economy in which some output growth and technical change occurred both before and after 1947, but in which a broadly based process of development has been constrained by structural and market imperfections. Tomlinson argues that India has thus had an underdeveloped economy, with weak market structures and underdeveloped institutions, which has since 1860 profoundly influenced the social, political and ecological history of South Asia.

The Economy of Puerto Rico: Restoring Growth

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A territory of the United States, Puerto Rico operates under U.S. legal, monetary, security and tariff systems. Despite sharing in these and other key U.S. institutions, Puerto Rico has experienced economic stagnation and large scale unemployment since the 1970s. The island`s living standards are low by U.S. standards, with a per capita income only half that of Mississippi, the poorest state. While many studies have analyzed the fiscal implications of Puerto Rico`s political relationship with the United States, little research has focused broadly on the island`s economic experience or assessed its growth prospects. In this innovative new book, economists from U.S. and Puerto Rican institutions address a range of major policy issues affecting the island`s economic development. To frame the current situation, the contributors begin by assessing Puerto Rico`s past experience with various growth policies. They then analyze several reforms and new initiatives in labor, education,… [detailed...]

Richard A. Goldthwaite
The Economy of Renaissance Florence

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Richard A. Goldthwaite, a leading economic historian of the Italian Renaissance, has spent his career studying the Florentine economy. In this magisterial work, Goldthwaite brings together a lifetime of research and insight on the subject, clarifying and explaining the complex workings of Florence`s commercial, banking, and artisan sectors. Florence was one of the most industrialized cities in medieval Europe, thanks to its thriving textile industries. The importation of raw materials and the exportation of finished cloth necessitated the creation of commercial and banking practices that extended far beyond Florence`s boundaries. Part I situates Florence within this wider international context and describes the commercial and banking networks through which the city`s merchant-bankers operated. Part II focuses on the urban economy of Florence itself, including various industries, merchants, artisans, and investors. It also evaluates the role of government in the economy, the… [detailed...]

Chance has brought them from all over to beautiful, legendary Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they shape, illuminate, and even deform each other`s lives unexpectedly, as if on the very edge of chaos. This edge of chaos, a scientific term for that slender territory between frozen predictability and hopeless disorder, is a dangerously unstable place. Learning and change can only happen there, but always under threat of sliding back to frozen order--or over into the chaotic abyss. And Santa Fe`s sons and daughters, even now, keep a precarious foothold… [detailed...]

Description: In the early `90s, after a stint as a senior editor at the groundbreaking lesbian sex journal On Our Backs , Lisa Palac took charge of a new magazine called Future Sex . Tapping into the `cyber` ethos that permeated the Bay Area scene-- Mondo 2000 was in its ascendancy, while Wired was still a full year away--the magazine achieved a quick burst of mainstream notoriety and became a longterm underground icon. But you won`t need to don a full-body cybersex interface to appreciate Palac`s The Edge of the Bed . With disarming honesty and self-deprecating humor, Palac writes about how she began to gain control of her sexuality. When she found a boyfriend`s stash of pornography, her kneejerk reaction was to tell him that if it didn`t go, she would. He managed to convince her to watch a video with her, that led to another, and another…soon, Palac was renting her own tapes and started writing her own erotic stories. Although sex-positive feminism can… [detailed...]

Incorporating examples as wide-ranging as the experience of Malden Mills owner Aaron Feuerstein, the Torah, and the musical Rent, Singer reminds us that ownership is a curious blend of security and vulnerability between owner and non-owner.

The Edges of the Medieval World (Medievalia)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the Middles Ages, the edges of one s world could represent different meanings. On the one hand, they might have been situated in far-away regions, mainly in the east and north, that one most often only knew from hearsay and which were inhabited by strange beings: humans with their faces on their chest, without a mouth, or with dog heads. On the other hand, the edges of one s world could just mean the borders of the community where one lived and that one sometimes might not have had the possibility to cross during one s whole life. These varieties of edges of the medieval world were the topic of an international workshop that was held in 2006 on the Estonian island of Muhu, itself an area that could easily be connected with the topic of this meeting. In the present proceedings of the workshop, specialists from eight European countries offer their ideas about different edges of the medieval world and contribute to a discussion that has been increasing greatly in Medieval Studies in… [detailed...]

The Educated Imagination and Other Writings on Critical Theory 1933-1963 (Collected Works of Northrop Frye)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: ~ In 1933, Northrop Frye was a recent university graduate, beginning to learn his craft as a literary essayist. By 1963, with the publication of The Educated Imagination, he had become an international academic celebrity. In the intervening three decades, Frye wrote widely and prodigiously, but it is in the papers and lectures collected in this installment of the Collected Works of Northrop Frye, that the genesis of a distinguished literary critic can be seen. Here is Frye tracing the first outlines of a literary cosmology that would culminate in The Anatomy of Criticism (1958) and shapeThe Great Code (1982) and Words with Power (1990). At the same time that Frye garnered such international acclaim, he was also a working university teacher, lecturing in the University of Toronto`s English Language and Literature program. In her lively introduction, Germaine Warkentin links Frye`s evolution as a critic with his love of music, his passionate concern for his students, and his… [detailed...]

The Education Gospel: The Economic Power of Schooling

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this hard-hitting history of ?the gospel of education,? W. Norton Grubb and Marvin Lazerson reveal the allure, and the fallacy, of the longstanding American faith that more schooling for more people is the remedy for all our social and ecomic problems?and that the central purpose of education is workplace preparation. But do increasing levels of education accurately represent the demands of today?s jobs? Grubb and Lazerson argue that the abilities developed in schools andniversities and the competencies required in work are often mismatched?since many Americans are under-educated for serious work while at least a third are over-educated for the jobs they hold. The ongoing race for personal advancement and the focusn worker preparation have squeezed out civic education and learning for its own sake. Paradoxically, the focus on schooling as a mechanism of equity has reinforced social inequality. The challenge now, the authors show, is to create… [detailed...]

Henry Adams
The Education of Henry Adams (Oxford World`s Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As a journalist, historian, and novelist born into a family that included two past Presidents, Henry Adams was forever focused on the experiences and expectations unique to America. A prompt bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-winner, The Education of Henry Adams (1918) recounts his own and his country`s development from 1838--the year Adams was born--up to 1905, thus incorporating the Civil War, unprecedented capitalist expansion, and the growth of the United States as a world power. Adams considered the nation both a success and a failure, and this paradox was the very impetus that compelled him to set down his Education--in the pages of which he also voiced a deep skepticism about mankind`s ability to control the direction of history. Written with immense wit and irony, reassembling the past while glimpsing at the future, this book wholly expresses what Henry James declared the `complex fate` of being an American. Adams`s thoroughly documented vision remains one of the most absorbing… [detailed...]
