A Dutch Miracle: Job Growth, Welfare Reform and Corporatism in the Netherlands

y.
Publisher:
Description: The Dutch polder model- recently dubbed a `success story` by Bill Clinton and Jacques Delors - plays a prominent role in current discussions about possibilities for a new `capitalism with a social face`, and appeals to experts all over the world. Just ten years ago the Swedish sociologist Goran Therborn described the Dutch employment policy as a `spectacular failure`. The authors single out three policy changes to explain the `miracle` that has taken place since then. The `Dutch miracle` shows that it is difficult but not impossible to overcome the drawbacks of the welfare state and that in this age of globalization and integration, it remains necessary to coordinate policy on a national level as well. In the last section the authors investigate the dynamics of social-economic policy which will have to be developed under increasingly stringent international conditions. [detailed...]

Forrest Gander
A Faithful Existence : Selected Essays

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book Description A Faithful Existence is a thrilling, lyrical exploration of what it means to be faithful in the act of translation, in scientific and spiritual inquiry, in philosophies of perception, in friendship, and in poetry. Sensual, erudite,and operatic in scope, these essays pay homage to the landscape of the American South, to snapping turtles and anti-particles, to iconoclastic physicists and writers from various countries and epochs, to visionary poets and to poetic hoaxes. Forrest Gander pops the hood of the standard-issue essay and hotwires it for the 21st century, re-tuning compelling associations and vivid bursts of insight into the quality of immediate experience. He connects with an ethical vision, a bodily consciousness, and a mode of language that might help us to survive the streams of data, the discombobulating media, and the predatory march of `information` that defines our age.

A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World (Princeton Economic History of the Western World)

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn`t industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations. Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, [detailed...]
