Book Synopsis Global Imperialism and the Great Crisis by : Ernesto Screpanti
Download or read book Global Imperialism and the Great Crisis written by Ernesto Screpanti and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative study, economist Ernesto Screpanti argues that imperialism—far from disappearing or mutating into a benign “globalization”—has in fact entered a new phase, which he terms “global imperialism.” This is a phase defined by multinational firms cut loose from the nation-state framework and free to chase profits over the entire surface of the globe. No longer dependent on nation-states for building a political consensus that accommodates capital accumulation, these firms seek to bend governments to their will and destroy barriers to the free movement of capital. And while military force continues to play an important role in imperial strategy, it is the discipline of the global market that keeps workers in check by pitting them against each other no matter what their national origin. This is a world in which the so-called “labor aristocracies” of the rich nations are demolished, the power of states to enforce checks on capital is sapped, and global firms are free to pursue their monomaniacal quest for profits unfettered by national allegiance. Screpanti delves into the inner workings of global imperialism, explaining how it is different from past forms of imperialism, how the global distribution of wages is changing, and why multinational firms have strained to break free of national markets. He sees global imperialism as a developing process, one with no certain outcome. But one thing is clear: when economic crises become opportunities to discipline workers, and when economic policies are imposed through increasingly authoritarian measures, the vision of a democratic and humane world is what is ultimately at stake.

Book excerpt: Do not be afraid, join us, come back! You’ve had your anti-communist fun, and you are pardoned for it—time to get serious once again!—Slavoj Žižek Responding to Alain Badiou’s ‘communist hypothesis’, the leading political philosophers of the Left convened in London in 2009 to take part in a landmark conference to discuss the perpetual, persistent notion that, in a truly emancipated society, all things should be owned in common. This volume brings together their discussions on the philosophical and political import of the communist idea, highlighting both its continuing significance and the need to reconfigure the concept within a world marked by havoc and crisis.
Book Synopsis Value Making in International Economic Law and Regulation by : Donatella Alessandrini
Download or read book Value Making in International Economic Law and Regulation written by Donatella Alessandrini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the contemporary production of economic value in today’s financial economies. Much of the regulatory response to the global financial crisis has been based on the assumption that curbing the speculative ‘excesses’ of the financial sphere is a necessary and sufficient condition for restoring a healthy economic system, endowed with real values, as distinct from those produced by financial markets. How, though, can the ‘intrinsic’ value of goods and services produced in the sphere of the so-called real economy be disentangled from the ‘artificial’ value engineered within the financial sphere? Examining current projects of international legal regulation, this book questions the regulation of the financial sphere insofar as its excesses are juxtaposed to some notion of economic normality. Given the problem of neatly distinguishing these domains – and so, more generally, between economy and society, and production and social reproduction – it considers the limits of our current conceptualization of value production and measurement, with specific reference to arrangements in the areas of finance, trade and labour. Drawing on a range of innovative work in the social sciences, and attentive to the spatial and temporal connections that make the global economy, as well as the racial, gender and class articulations of the social reproductive field within it, it further asks: what alternative arrangements might be able to affect, and indeed alter, the value-making processes that underlie our current international regulatory framework?
Book Synopsis GLOBAL ECONOMY by : Oreste Mastronardi
Download or read book GLOBAL ECONOMY written by Oreste Mastronardi and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credo che sia difficile trattare un argomento così complesso come l’economia globale, io ho cercato di renderlo facilmente digeribile facendo delle esemplificazioni, inoltre ho enfatizzato molto le contraddizioni del mercato globale, per far comprendere ai lettori come la globalizzazione influisca non soltanto sulle regole economiche, ma incida profondamente sul tessuto sociale di quelle aree geografiche da sempre legate a degli stili di vita semplici, scevri della competizione sfrenata presente nei paesi economici maggiormente sviluppati. Tuttavia ho illustrato anche gli aspetti positivi di un’economia che si affida completamente alle regole dell’efficienza e dell’economicità.
Book Synopsis The Debt of the Living by : Elettra Stimilli
Download or read book The Debt of the Living written by Elettra Stimilli and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes theological and philosophical understandings of debt and its role in contemporary capitalism. Max Webers account of the rise of capitalism focused on his concept of a Protestant ethic, valuing diligence in earning and saving money but restraint in spending it. However, such individual restraint is foreign to contemporary understandings of finance, which treat ever-increasing consumption and debt as natural, almost essential, for maintaining the economic cycle of buying and selling. In The Debt of the Living, Elettra Stimilli returns to this idea of restraint as ascesis, by analyzing theological and philosophical understandings of debt drawn from a range of figures, including Saint Paul, Schmitt and Agamben, Benjamin and Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, and Foucault. Central to this analysis is the logic of profit for profits sakean aspect of Webers work that Stimilli believes has been given insufficient attention. Following Foucault, she identifies this as the original mechanism of a capitalist dispositif that feeds not on a goal-directed rationality, but on the self-determining character of human agency. Ascesis is fundamental not because it is characterized by renunciation, but because the self-discipline it imposes converts the properly human quality of action without a predetermined goal into a lack, a fault, or a state of guilt: a debt that cannot be settled. Stimilli argues that this lack, which is impossible to fill, should be seen as the basis of the economy of hedonism and consumption that has governed global economies in recent years and as the premise of the current economy of debt.

Download or read book Marx and the Common written by Luca Basso and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Marx and the Common, Luca Basso provides a detailed reconstruction of the late Marx's connection of the collective dimension of communism and the element of individual realisation. Through an original analysis of a vast range of Marx's writings - from Capital to his political texts and scientific notes - the author brings out an articulated historical-theoretical landscape in which the notion of 'individual' is intertwined with the ideas of 'class', 'society' and 'community'. Rooting his analysis in the revolutionary power of the workers' 'acting in common', Basso brings to the fore an anthropological dynamic in Marx, irreducible to either liberal individualism or any kind of organicist approach.
Book Synopsis Italian Thought Today by : Lorenzo Chiesa
Download or read book Italian Thought Today written by Lorenzo Chiesa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides English readers with a critical update on current debates on biopolitics in and around Italian thought. More than a decade after the publication of seminal books such as Agamben’s Homo Sacer and Hardt and Negri’s Empire, the names of, among others, Roberto Esposito, Paolo Virno, Christian Marazzi, and Andrea Fumagalli have recently been brought to the attention of Anglophone scholars and political activists. Several authors have rightly emphasised the evanescent character of biopolitics, and the difficulty in providing a definition of it that could embrace all the conflicting theories of its most celebrated critics and supporters. The present collection is structured around the basic contention that bio-economy, human nature, and Christianity are the three visible contemporary manifestations of the theoretical object/problem of biopolitics in, respectively, Italian post-workerist economics, post-Marxist philosophical anthropology, and post-structuralist ontology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
Book Synopsis Information, Power, and Politics by : Sarita Albagli
Download or read book Information, Power, and Politics written by Sarita Albagli and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the spread of information and communication technologies (ICTs) comes the potential both for new social and economic equalities and new forms of inequalities. Information, Power, and Politics: Technological and Institutional Mediations demonstrates that ICTs can act as an impetus for democratizing information and knowledge, while at the same time new institutional frameworks can limit one's use of and access to strategic information and knowledge. The volume's contributors address ways to strengthen and affirm the socially marginalized as well as suggest how best to incorporate (semi)peripheral countries and regions into the international system. Information, Power, and Politics offers a refreshing and timely perspective on the ever-evolving relationship between information, knowledge, and communication.

Book Synopsis Knowledge, Technology and Law by : Emilie Cloatre
Download or read book Knowledge, Technology and Law written by Emilie Cloatre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationships between knowledge, technologies, and legal processes are central to the constitution of contemporary societies. As such, they have come to provide the focus for a range of academic projects, across interdisciplinary legal studies and the social sciences. The domains of medical law and ethics, intellectual property law, environmental law and criminal law are just some of those within which the pervasive place and ‘impact’ of technoscience is immediately apparent. At the same time, social scientists investigating the making of technology and expertise - in particular, scholars working within the tradition of science and technology studies - frequently interrogate how regulation and legal processes, and the making of knowledge and technologies, are intermingled in complex ways that come to shape and define each other. This book charts the important interface between studies of law, science and society, as explored from the perspectives of socio-legal studies and the increasingly influential field of science and technology studies. It brings together scholars from both areas to interrogate the joint roles of law and science in the construction and stabilization of socio-technical networks, objects, and standards, as well as their place in the production of contemporary social realities and subjectivities.
