Publisher: —
Description: The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Economics is a cutting-edge reference work to philosophical issues in the practice of economics.

The Oxford Handbook of Political Economy

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over its long lifetime, `political economy` has had many different meanings: the science of managing the resources of a nation so as to provide wealth to its inhabitants for Adam Smith, the study of how the ownership of the means of production influenced historical processes for Marx, the study of the inter-relationship between economics and politics for some twentieth-century commentators, and for others, a methodology emphasizing individual rationality (the economic or `public choice` approach) or institutional adaptation (the sociological version). This Handbook views political economy as a grand (if imperfect) synthesis of these various strands, treating political economy as the methodology of economics applied to the analysis of political behavior and institutions. This Handbook surveys the field of political economy, with fifty-eight chapters ranging from micro to macro, national to international, institutional to behavioral, methodological to substantive. Chapters on social… [detailed...]

Description: Most histories of the international cinema focus on the careers of prominent directors. But the authors of The Oxford History of World Cinema set cinematic genres, trends, and national themes at the fore, composing a history of the cinema that is equally a history of our multifarious world culture. Still, in deference to the older historical style, the text of this hefty book is dotted with hundreds of minibiographies on individual filmmakers. The result of this hybrid approach is one of the most comprehensive film histories ever, allowing insight into its complex subject from a number of different perspectives. [detailed...]

The Oxford India Tagore: Selected Writings on Education and Nationalism (Oxford Illustrated Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Oxford India Tagore focuses on Rabindranath Tagore`s views on nationalism and his work on education through his essays, letters, lectures, addresses, and poetry edited by Uma Das Gupta. Tagore`s writings are given as substantial excerpts or as full texts in order to enable the reader to follow his argument closely and seriously. Divided into five sections - `Autobiographical`, `Founding a New Education`, `The Problem of India`, `East and West in the Scientific Age`, and `A Self-Respecting Nationalism as Our Salvation` - the volume takes readers closer to Tagore`s life and thought, and shows how persistently he sought a solution to the problems of his times in a new and creative education and in national self-reliance, rather than in the political road to the Western model of a territorial nation-state. The book makes it clear that in many ways Tagore`s educational work and his own nationalism were rooted in an original vision of India`s history which amounted to a deviation from… [detailed...]

Bloom to join him, and together they went in search of the same Oxford residents Feldstein had originally shot two decades earlier. Some had moved. Most had stayed. Others had passed away. All were marked by the passage of time.In a place like Oxford, not only does everyone know everyone else, but also everyone else`s brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, lovers, secrets, failures, dreams, and favorite pot luck recipes.
