The Modern World-System I: Capitalist Agriculture and the Origins of the European World-Economy in the Sixteenth Century

1980 y.
Publisher: Academic Press
Description: This book was written during a year`s stay at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. Countless authors have sung its praises. Aside from splendid surroundings, unlimited library and secretarial assistance, and a ready supply of varied scholars to consult at a moment`s notice, what the center offers is to leave the scholar to his own devices, for good or ill. Would that all men had such wisdom. The final version was consummated with the aid of a grant from the Social Sciences Grants Subcommittee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research of McGill University. [detailed...]

The Modern/Colonial/Capitalist World-System in the Twentieth Century : Global Processes, Antisystemic Movements, and the Geopolitics of Knowledge

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: An important building block for further advancing world-system theory, this book considers the theory from the perspectives of global processes and antisystemic movements, feminist theory, and the aftermath of the colonial system. The volume addresses three myths tied to Eurocentric forms of thinking: Objectivist and universalist knowledges, the decolonization of the modern world, and developmentalism. All three myths, the authors argue, conceal the continued hierarchical and unequal relations of domination and exploitation between European and Euro-American centers and non-European peripheral regions. In this volume, world-system scholars address these and related aspects of the modern/colonial capitalist world-system. [detailed...]

Each country`s report was submitted by a national expert, and sets out in detail how states are meeting the challenge of granting their national courts and competition enforcement agencies full powers to apply Articles 81 and 82 of the EU Treaty. The national reports also point to challenges and difficulties that lie ahead for harmonious operation of the new decentralised regime. Формат: 15 см x 23 см. [detailed...]

Description: This is the true story of a remarkable family as told by a direct descendant of John Molson. Through generations, we follow their saga. We see the Molsons cope with change and opportunity in business, and we watch them deal with personal triumphs, private tragedies, and the everyday aspects of life. The first Molson arrived in Montreal in 1782 from England, with little money but a single-minded ambition. Working hard, with a belief in the future of his adopted land, John Molson established a small brewery in Montreal and put his heart and soul into the business. Over the next 200 years the Molsons expanded the brewery again and again. The founder`s drive and ability was passed on to his sons, grandsons, and future generations. The family established a bank and a steamship line, recognizing that as the young country grew, opportunities would grow with it. They became a major force in politics, sports (the Montreal Canadiens hockey team), and philanthropy. And they witnessed… [detailed...]

Description: Founded by Ansel Adams, directed by Minor White, and staffed by such luminaries as Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, Lisette Model, and Edward Weston, the first fine-art photography department in the United States was created in 1946 at the California School of Fine Arts (now known as the San Francisco Art Institute). Under White`s leadership and against a backdrop of revolutions in photography as an art form, this dynamic faculty developed the modern photography curriculum, bringing a new academic pedigree to the medium and establishing the future of photography education. The Moment of Seeing is much more than a history of the program and those who comprised it. Including White`s never-before-published writings on the teaching of photography, it is also a rich gallery of iconic images by both renowned faculty members and the dedicated students they taught.

The Monarchia Controversy: An Historical Study With Accompanying Translations of Dante Alighieri`s Monarchia, Guido Vernani`s Refutation of the `Monarchia` Composed by Dante, an

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Monarchia Controversy provides both the background to the imperial and ecclesiastical machinations that drove Dante Alighieri to begin penning the Monarchia in 1318 and also the subsequent history of the efforts by papal authorities to ban the book after the writer`s death. Dante`s political treatise on the Empire and the Papacy was listed by the Church in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum in 1564, and it was removed only in 1881. Anthony Cassell`s account of the Monarchia`s genesis is both compelling and provoking, especially in the descriptions of the intransigence of Dante`s proponents and antagonists. While earlier scholars have viewed Dante`s treatise as peacefully divorced from its times, Cassell shows that Dante`s pose of calm authority above the fray was at once traditional, forensic, courageous, and hard-won. Cassell examines in close detail Dante`s relations to his patron Can Grande della Scala, Pope John XXII`s attempts to strip Can Grande of his privileges, the… [detailed...]

The Monetary Elite Vs. Gold`s Honest Discipline

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Many people believe that monetary gold inhibits the Fed from effectively managing money on behalf of the public interest. The Monetary Elite vs. Gold?s Honest Discipline presents evidence in support of an opposing view. First, the Fed wields its substantial power on behalf of a monetary elite not on behalf of the general public. Second, this power essentially depends on a monetary unit that is undefined and that the Fed can create effortlessly, at virtually no cost, at will, and by fiat. Third, the banking system is empowered by governmentally granted special privileges to pyramid these intrinsically worthless and totally undefined `reserves` that the Fed creates out of thin air into still more dubious dollar claims, whichbanks distribute at interest throughout the economy. This book explains why the current structure of our monetary system is fatally flawed. If, however, our monetary unit were defined as a weight of precious metal and if the banking… [detailed...]

Description: Augusto Graziani challenges traditional theories of monetary production, arguing that a modern economy based on credit cannot be understood without a focus on the administration of credit flow. Money functions as an instrument for the circulation of commodities or for keeping a stock of liquid wealth in mainstream economic theory. In neither case is it considered fundamental to the production of goods or the distribution of income. A strong exponent of the circulation theory of monetary production, Graziani presents an original and perhaps controversial argument which will stimulate debate. [detailed...]
