— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a concise and lucid review of the strengths and weaknesses of the British motor industry during the one hundred years since its foundation. Placing the industry firmly in a European context, the author first assesses its achievements before 1960, and then tests the various explanations that have been offered to explain its decline in the past thirty years. He examines the role of government, of the trade unions, of management and of the multinationals, all of which have been seen as major players in the industry`s demise. [detailed...]

The Rise and Decline of the Male Breadwinner Family? (International Review of Social History. Supplement, 5)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This collection of essays looks at the origins and expansion of different patterns of breadwinning in both western and non-western history. As a collection it provides new insights into the historical and cross-cultural development of the male breadwinner family and its determinants, and, as such, it provides an important contribution to the ongoing debate on patterns of breadwinning. An important range of factors previously undervalued in the debate are considered: the effects of local labour markets ininteraction with family strategies and family values, employers` strategies and the effects of capital accumulation and the rise of international commercial networks, the effects of egalitarian communist ideologies, and the differential ways in which modern welfare states were constructed. The volume calls for a renewed research effort in order to reconstruct the male breadwinner family as the norm and to work towards the integration of different explanatory models. [detailed...]

The Rise and Fall of Art Needlework

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the nineteenth century a new needlework style `Art Embroidery` gave rise to major commercial ventures of the time. The significance of these ventures is explored, particularly the contribution made by women employed in this industry. Auditing their working practices, then relating this to our understanding of gender history. These ventures stimulated the commercial side of embroidery in the late nineteenth century, by mobilising commercial activity through numerous agencies, department stores, depots and charitable institutions. A craft became a major industry, and in examining these important developments, the organisational structure of these enterprises, their marketing techniques in relationship to their predominantly female workforce, will be evaluated. The theme of business enterprise is a conduit which runs throughout, yet the work is not intended as an economic history, rather business history, as social history. The growth and development of `Art Embroidery` in… [detailed...]

The Rise and Fall of Czech Capitalism: Economic Development in the Czech Republic Since 1989

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book offers a detailed, critical account of the economic transformation of the Czech Republic since 1989. It follows the development and implementation of a reform strategy based on ?shock? therapy and rapid privatization, set against the background of turbulent political change and conflict. The aim of the government in the mid 1990s was the creation of a ?Czech? capitalism, with Czech-owned business empires and banks. A detailed analysis of developments in banking and industrial enterprises shows how the chosen strategy led instead to continuing inefficiency, flawed management decisions and uncontrolled profiteering. These combined factors contributed to serious economic difficulties in the latter part of the decade, with success stories largely confined to foreign-owned firms. After 1998, a new government attempted to encourage economic revival based upon a fresh strategy which emphasized the sale of banks and industrial enterprises to… [detailed...]

The Rise and Fall of the American Century: The United States from 1890-2010

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From William H. Chafe, the best-selling author of The Unfinished Journey, comes a new text that offers in-depth and enlightening coverage of the history of the United States in the twentieth century. The Rise and Fall of the American Century: The United States from 1890-2010 describes the rise--and potential fall--of the U.S., a nation more powerful, more wealthy, and more dominant than any in human history. It also acknowledges the persistent challenges the U.S. has faced and continues to face--inequalities of race, gender, and income that contradict its vision of itself as `a land of opportunity.` Examining the evolution of the United States since 1890, The Rise and Fall of the American Century chronicles the varying mood of the country through its changing presidencies, from the rise of the metropolis and Teddy Roosevelt in the 1890s to the turbulent era of the Bush administration at the beginning of the twenty-first century. By analyzing the shifting moods and social and… [detailed...]

The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire

1999 y.
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Description: Following his great trilogy of biographies of the giants who dominated the history of the Soviet Union - Stalin. Lenin and Trotsky - Russian historian Dmitri Volkogonov delves deeper into the Soviet archives to reveal the truth behind the activities of the world`s most secretive political leaders. In vivid, devastating and sometimes surreal detail, he has produced a clear-eyed assessment and political evaluation of the seven leaders who ruled the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991. He throws new light on Lenin`s paranoia about foreigners in Russia and his creation of a privileged system for top Party members: Stalin`s repression of the nationalities and his singular conduct of foreign policy: the origins and conduct of the Korean War, Khrushchev`s relationship with the odious secret service chief Beria and his handling of the Cuban missile crisis: Brezhnev`s vanity and stupidity: the Afghan War: Poland and Solidarity. Gorbachev`s Leninism and his role in history. With his final… [detailed...]

The Rise and Fall of the The Soviet Economy: An Economic History of the USSR, 1945 - 1991

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhy did the Soviet economic system fall apart? Did the economy simply overreach itself through military spending? Was it the centrally-planned character of Soviet socialism that was at fault? Or did a potentially viable mechanism come apart in Gorbachev`s clumsy hands? Does its failure mean that true socialism is never economically viable? The economic dimension is at the very heart of the Russian story in the twentieth century. Economic issues were the cornerstone of soviet ideology and the soviet system, and economic issues brought the whole system crashing down in 1989-91. This book is a record of what happened, and it is also an analysis of the failure of Soviet economics as a concept. [detailed...]

The Rise and Progress of the Standard Oil Company

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Rise and Progress of The Standard Oil Company was originally published in 1903. From its inception in 1865 till its control, in 1878, of ninety-five per cent of the oil business of the United States, The Standard Oil Company has presented itself to different critics in somewhat different characters, certain conservative writers think it was largely the result of discriminations in freight rates, extorted by more or less questionable practices from easy virtue of the railroads. But just why the railroads found it expedient to grant such unusual favors, and why this particular group of men, above all others, proved best able to extort such favors, no one has satisfactorily explained. And thus begins the first chapter of this interesting book. Thesecret of this strange success with the railways is not, however completely insoluble. If the episodes in The Rise and Progress of the Standard Oil Company from 1865 till 1877 be carefully studied, the motives of every act, both of the… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description`This is an important contribution to the literature on media history and institutions. The book also is written in an accessible style and definitely not aimed only at those in media or communication studies.` --Janet Wasko, author of Hollywood in the Information Age: Beyond the Silver Screen In 1971, the Sloan Commission on Cable Communications likened the ongoing developments in cable television to the first uses of movable type and the invention of the telephone. Cable`s proponents in the late 1960s and early 1970s hoped it would eventually remedy all the perceived ills of broadcast television, including lowest-common-denominator programming, inability to serve the needs of local audiences, and failure to recognize the needs of cultural minorities. Yet a quarter century after the `blue sky` era, cable television programming closely resembled, and indeed depended upon, broadcast television programming. Whatever happened to the Sloan Commission`s `revolution now in… [detailed...]

Description: In the early decades of the nineteenth century, Buenos Aires underwent rapid economic growth. Previous studies have focused on the economy as a whole, or on a particular segment of the population, and most have disregarded how resources were intentionally organized to enable growth. This book focuses on the economic organizations that led the growth process--the estancias. Economic growth and increased freedom were not inevitable on the pampas, but rather the consequences of human actions in the search for profit. Why freedom, not privilege, prevailed is the key question underlying this study. [detailed...]
