This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Über die Epochen hinweg haben sich literarische Werke und Genres explizit oder implizit mit dem Kapitalismus auseinandergesetzt. Doch gerade die vergangenen Jahrzehnte, in welchen der Kapitalismus nach Mark Fisher zum ausweglosen Vorstellungshorizont avanciert ist, zeugen von einer vermehrten Infragestellung des Kapitalismus in der literarischen Produktion sowie der Literaturwissenschaft. Vor diesem Hintergrund vereint der interdisziplinäre Sammelband Beiträge aus der Germanistik, Romanistik, Amerikanistik und Anglistik, die den Blick auf verschiedene zeitgenössische Manifestationen des globalen Kapitalismus und deren literarische oder filmische Repräsentationen richten.

Book Synopsis Marxism and Modern Thought (Routledge Revivals) by : N.I. Bukharin
Download or read book Marxism and Modern Thought (Routledge Revivals) written by N.I. Bukharin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in English in 1935, this is a vital and stimulating critical appraisal of contemporary thought in the post-World War One era. Written by a selection of leading Marxist thinkers including Nikolai Bukharin, who would later become one of the most famous victims of Stalin's show trials, this work offers a Marxist critique of contemporary thought relating to philosophy, science and history. The authors all lean towards the view that the general tendency of modern thought is to abandon the historical method and to deny progress, with the conclusion that Marxism was the only historical and progressive outlook in science, philosophy and history in the period following the First World War and the Communist revolution in Russia. A fascinating document of great historical and political interest which offers an invaluable insight into contemporary thought in the Soviet Union of the 1930s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deutschland 1900 bis 1933 zwischen den Euphorien des machtpolitischen Aufstiegs und den militarischen, okonomischen und politischen Katastrophen waren diese Jahre durch vielgestaltige und intensive Krisenerfahrungen gepragt. Krieg, Niederlage, Revolution und Depression, aber auch der kulturelle Aufbruch in die Moderne schrieben sich in die Leben der Menschen ein.

Book excerpt: While contributing to social inequality and environmental degradation, recent global transformations have also strengthened civil society groups opposing these trends. Yet, as they need to transform the existing social order from within, groups struggling for social justice face various strategic dilemmas. The articles in this volume examine these dilemmas and discuss possible solutions. Issues addressed include North-South disparities in what has been called "global civil society", and the precarious division of labor between local grassroots organizers and transnational coalition-builders.
Download or read book After Cancún written by Elmar Altvater and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is facing several serious challenges at the close of the fossil and nuclear energy regime: the limited resources of cheap conventional oil can only be surmounted by tapping unconventional oil reserves, e.g. deep sea oil. The explosion of the oil platform Deepwater Horizon in 2010 and the subsequent oil spill caused enormous damage, which even a year later cannot be fully estimated. Another even more important threat emanating from the fossil and nuclear energy regime has been brought to our attention by the Fukushima disaster. Last but not least, the problem of climate change caused by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions is looming, despite the fact that the international community has agreed on a considerable reduction of these emissions. Is this poor result of the Kyoto Protocol and the failure of successive climate conferences the consequence of a preference for the use of market-based instruments? The majority of climate scientists, economists, and politicians believe in the efficiency of “cap-and-trade” regulations. They even conceive them as a constituent ingredient of a “Green New Deal” or “Global Green Recovery”. The contributions in this volume provide a critical examination of the theoretical foundations, the political implications, and the empirical experiences of the application of market mechanisms and financial instruments to climate policy.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas by : Olaf Kaltmeier
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas written by Olaf Kaltmeier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. This handbook examines the direct and indirect political interventions, geopolitical imaginaries, inequalities, interlinked economic developments and the forms of appropriation of the vast natural resources in the Americas. Expert contributors give a comprehensive overview of the theories, practices and geographies that have shaped the economic dynamics of the region and their impact on both the political and natural landscape. This multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of academic scholars and students in history, sociology, geography, economics and political science, as well as cultural, postcolonial, environmental and globalization studies.
Book Synopsis Social Conservatism and the Middle Class in Germany, 1914-1933 by : Herman Lebovics
Download or read book Social Conservatism and the Middle Class in Germany, 1914-1933 written by Herman Lebovics and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uprooted by the war, exposed to the full brunt of economic dislocation, and fearful of losing status in face of the growing might of big business and organized labor, the middle classes in Weimar Germany longed for a solution to their plight that neither the capitalism nor the socialism of their day could offer. This work examines the attempts of a number of scholars and publicists—Sombart, Salin, Spann, Niekisch, Spengler, and Fried-to provide such a solution in the form of an ideology of social conservatism. Originally published in 1969.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Book Synopsis Society After Money by : Project Society After Money
Download or read book Society After Money written by Project Society After Money and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Society After Money is an interdisciplinary project between commons theory, evolutionary political economy, media studies and sociology, that enter into a dialogue with one another in order to look at their specific theories and criticisms of money. Conceived as the beginning of a necessary interdisciplinary dialogue, the possibilities of post-monetary forms of organization and production are taken into account and examined. On one hand there is a lot of talk about 'digital revolution', 'mediatized society', 'networks', 'Industry 4.0'. On the other hand the present is described in terms of crisis: 'financial crisis', 'economic crisis', 'planetary boundaries'. At once there is the description of a media-technological change along with massive social and ecological disruptions. Society After Money is based on the premise that there might be a conflict between digital media/digital technology and the medium of money – and perhaps new digital possibilities that allow alternative forms of economy. It criticizes what is normally seen as self-evident and natural, namely that social coordination has to be done by the medium of money. We're left with a highly innovative collection of contributions that initiates a broader social discourse on the role of money in the global society of the 21st century.
Book Synopsis The Imperial Mode of Living by : Markus Wissen
Download or read book The Imperial Mode of Living written by Markus Wissen and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the concept of the Imperial Mode of Living, Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living. The logic of liberal markets since the 19thCentury, and especially since World War II, has been inscribed into everyday practices that are usually unconsciously reproduced. The authors show that they are a main driver of the ecological crisis and economic and political instability. The Imperial Mode of Living implies that people's everyday practices, including individual and societal orientations, as well as identities, rely heavily on the unlimited appropriation of resources; a disproportionate claim on global and local ecosystems and sinks; and cheap labour from elsewhere. This availability of commodities is largely organised through the world market, backed by military force and/or the asymmetric relations of forces as they have been inscribed in international institutions. Moreover, the Imperial Mode of Living implies asymmetrical social relations along class, gender and race within the respective countries. Here too, it is driven by the capitalist accumulation imperative, growth-oriented state policies and status consumption. The concrete production conditions of commodities are rendered invisible in the places where the commodities are consumed. The imperialist world order is normalized through the mode of production and living.

Book Synopsis Foretelling the End of Capitalism by : Francesco Boldizzoni
Download or read book Foretelling the End of Capitalism written by Francesco Boldizzoni and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectuals since the Industrial Revolution have been obsessed with whether, when, and why capitalism will collapse. This riveting account of two centuries of failed forecasts of doom reveals the key to capitalism’s durability. Prophecies about the end of capitalism are as old as capitalism itself. None have come true. Yet, whether out of hope or fear, we keep looking for harbingers of doom. In Foretelling the End of Capitalism, Francesco Boldizzoni gets to the root of the human need to imagine a different and better world and offers a compelling solution to the puzzle of why capitalism has been able to survive so many shocks and setbacks. Capitalism entered the twenty-first century triumphant, its communist rival consigned to the past. But the Great Recession and worsening inequality have undermined faith in its stability and revived questions about its long-term prospects. Is capitalism on its way out? If so, what might replace it? And if it does endure, how will it cope with future social and environmental crises and the inevitable costs of creative destruction? Boldizzoni shows that these and other questions have stood at the heart of much analysis and speculation from the early socialists and Karl Marx to the Occupy Movement. Capitalism has survived predictions of its demise not, as many think, because of its economic efficiency or any intrinsic virtues of markets but because it is ingrained in the hierarchical and individualistic structure of modern Western societies. Foretelling the End of Capitalism takes us on a fascinating journey through two centuries of unfulfilled prophecies. An intellectual tour de force and a plea for political action, it will change our understanding of the economic system that determines the fabric of our lives.

Book Synopsis Das Konzept der sozialen Marktwirtschaft und seine Anwendung by : Bernhard Seliger
Download or read book Das Konzept der sozialen Marktwirtschaft und seine Anwendung written by Bernhard Seliger and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wirtschaftsordnung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wie auch die Weltwirtschaftsordnung durchleben derzeit eine Vertrauenskrise, die die vielleicht größte Herausforderung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg darstellt. Hat die Marktwirtschaft, und in Deutschland speziell die Soziale Marktwirtschaft, versagt? Gerade die Soziale Marktwirtschaft ist die Wirtschaftsordnung, die der Bundesrepublik Deutschland den Wiederaufstieg nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ermöglichte. Sie machte Deutschland zu einem der wohlhabendsten Staaten weltweit und zu einem Muster an Stabilität. Die Diskussion der Grundsätze der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft und ihre Anwendung auf die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart sind das Thema dieses Bandes, der auf den Ergebnissen des ersten Ordnungspolitischen Dialoges an der Westsächsischen Hochschule Zwickau im November 2007 basiert. Dabei geht es nicht darum, einer Orthodoxie zu dienen, die die Soziale Marktwirtschaft als ewige Wahrheit beweihräuchert, sondern den wertvollen Gehalt dieser Wirtschaftsordnung für die heutige Wirtschaftspolitik zu bestimmen.
