Download or read book Crossroads written by Dr Debra D Andrist and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossroads! Intersections physical and/or metaphorical demand processes of consideration, determination, decision and commitment. Stasis is no longer an option where convergence is poised before the unknown. Where categories such as gender, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, philosophy and religion clash, the multivariate process can reach such complexity that literary, sociological and psychological tools can have differing interpretations. Real-life intersections range from the mundane (choosing among food items on a menu according to taste preferences) to survival-determinants (evaluating the efficacy of various medical procedures). But such intersections are at the two ends of a very long continuum that takes in issues of form/function, and traditional vs.modern. For example, Home may be defined both as a physical place and/or a mental construct. In more esoteric contexts, artists chiefly known for visual production, representing their ideas with color and form, not infrequently cross media to paint with words. Philosophy, religion, art and literature cross paths via symbols and other visual and linguistic constructs. Writers deal with how and where their own or their characters multiple identities intersect. The Hispanic world is an extraordinarily vivid place to explore these crossroads. This collection of essays addresses a multitude of crossroads in numerous Hispanic contexts across the intersections of time & space/tradition & modernity. The contexts are wide-ranging; e.g., the visual, architectural: how Spains age-old oenological tradition meets modern technology, how the vestiges of long-term dictatorship lurk in the spaces of Spains democracy; and how space/architecture, and art/poetry cross in Latin America. Painters Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlos productions cross the visual to the written; and magical realism products of the twentieth century Latin American artistic movement defy nature, science, time and space.
Book Synopsis What do we do now? by : Virgilio Reyes Pineda
Download or read book What do we do now? written by Virgilio Reyes Pineda and published by VIRGILIO REYES PINEDA. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where Did We Go Wrong? That is the first question. In its answer, we expose one enigma and four mistakes that led to this disastrous political and economic crisis. What Do We Do Now? That is the crucial question. After we discovered that our crisis was due more to the good that we had failed to do than to the bad that we had done, we presented strategic objectives and strategies to overcome the bad and enhance the good. This book expresses the hope of a nation that has fallen into a crisis but is repentant and wants to rectify and regain its freedom. Venezuelans desire to return to their country instead of being unwanted asylum seekers, creating a humanitarian crisis wherever they go. However, it seems that nothing will change if the insensitive generals/admirals do not join in first, for they are in power positions supporting the regime. They could, if they wanted, end the crisis, and return to the institutions because the soldiers they command, as well as their families, are the ones who truly experience the struggles and hardships faced by the common people. In freedom, mothers remain silent when the clarion call of the country cries but in dictatorship, their hearts sense that when the moment of truth arrives, the general will abandon their soldier son and run to hide in some military museum, because of money he reached that rank. Chavezism is collapsing! and so is the people’s psychology, for they are no longer afraid. In this book, the author proposes ideas and solutions to reconceptualize Venezuela.
Book Synopsis Value, Money and Capital by : Guido Starosta
Download or read book Value, Money and Capital written by Guido Starosta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a high-impact re-reading of core topics in the Marx and Marxist debates including: value-theory, the commodity-nature of money, complex or skilled labour, the determination of the value of labour-power and the nature of extraordinary surplus value. Drawing on this literature, the book provides original and innovative insights into key controversies in contemporary capitalism such as the increasingly intellectual character of commodity-producing labour, the emergence of global value chains, the relevance of ground-rent bearing commodities, and the specific, uneven developmental dynamics of "resource-rich" countries in the global process of capital accumulation. Contributing to the renewed vitality of critical studies of the economic works of Karl Marx, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in contemporary debates within Marxism, as well as readers of political economy, economics, development studies and economic sociology.
Book Synopsis Costa Rica by : International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.
Download or read book Costa Rica written by International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Technical Assistance Report presents the estimates of tax gaps for general sales tax (GST) and corporate income tax in Costa Rica. The estimated GST compliance gap in Costa Rica increased from 29 percent in 2012 to 31 percent in 2016. The compliance gap in 2016 was equivalent to 1.9 percent of GDP. The estimated compliance gap is higher than the average value-added tax compliance gaps of European countries and Latin American countries. Large GST compliance gaps relative to GDP are observed in manufacturing, trade, and hotels and restaurants. The estimated GST policy gaps were at about 4 percent of GDP from 2012 to 2016. Most of the GST policy gap consists of the GST expenditure gap, showing the effects of policy choices.
Book Synopsis Basic Income in the World by : Marek Hrubec
Download or read book Basic Income in the World written by Marek Hrubec and published by Epocha. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an introduction to the important idea and practice of unconditional basic income, which is becoming a topic increasingly discussed not only among researchers but also among citizens and the politicians who represent them. The topic is also increasingly making its way into the mass media. Unconditional basic income is a financial sum that is provided to all citizens (or otherwise legally defined residents) by the state (or a city, a county etc.) at regular intervals (usually monthly) without any conditions being attached, i.e. regardless of whether the citizen has other income from wages or other sources, regardless of age, sex and gender, marital status or other characteristics. The provision of a basic income enables citizens' basic needs to be met and their creative potential to be unlocked for their other activities which could then significantly raise their standard of living. This book discusses basic income by presenting the main arguments and experiments with basic income in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Basic income offers the possibility of a major social and civilizational change for all.

Book Synopsis Labour Law and Economic Policy by : Adrián Todolí-Signes
Download or read book Labour Law and Economic Policy written by Adrián Todolí-Signes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies labour institutions from an economic perspective to justify their existence and the advantages that they bring to innovation, efficiency, productivity, and economic growth. The philosophical foundations of labour law rely on the protection of the weaker party of the employment contract. However, after 40 years of political neoliberalism, these justifications seem insufficient for achieving progress in the area of labour and employment rights. This book changes the narrative of why we need labour standards. It begins with a study of the reasons that gave rise to labour law in the context of the Industrial Revolution and its evolution, and moves on to analyse the current context dominated by globalisation and economic digitisation. It then proceeds to study the main justifications for intervention in the labour market in the current business-economic context on a global scale: economic growth; pre-distribution of wealth; a meritocratic allocation of working conditions and equality among workers. Using case studies and examples from across the EU, the UK, and the US, the book shows how the deregulation of labour markets harms innovation and the economy, especially when considering the challenges of platform work, algorithms, and AI. It demonstrates that labour standards such as the minimum wage, sectoral collective bargaining and collective rights, protection against dismissal and discrimination, occupational risk prevention, and social security are necessary for the economy to function properly.
Book Synopsis Geek Girls by : France Winddance Twine
Download or read book Geek Girls written by France Winddance Twine and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside account of gender and racial discrimination in the high-tech industry Why is being a computer “geek” still perceived to be a masculine occupation? Why do men continue to greatly outnumber women in the high-technology industry? Since 2014, a growing number of employment discrimination lawsuits has called attention to a persistent pattern of gender discrimination in the tech world. Much has been written about the industry’s failure to adequately address gender and racial inequalities, yet rarely have we gotten an intimate look inside these companies. In Geek Girls, France Winddance Twine provides the first book by a sociologist that “lifts the Silicon veil” to provide firsthand accounts of inequality and opportunity in the tech ecosystem. This work draws on close to a hundred interviews with male and female technology workers of diverse racial, ethnic, and educational backgrounds who are currently employed at tech firms such as Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and at various start-ups in the San Francisco Bay area. Geek Girls captures what it is like to work as a technically skilled woman in Silicon Valley. With a sharp eye for detail and compelling testimonials from industry insiders, Twine shows how the technology industry remains rigged against women, and especially Black, Latinx, and Native American women from working class backgrounds. From recruitment and hiring practices that give priority to those with family, friends, and classmates employed in the industry, to social and educational segregation, to academic prestige hierarchies, Twine reveals how women are blocked from entering this industry. Women who do not belong to the dominant ethnic groups in the industry are denied employment opportunities, and even actively pushed out, despite their technical skills and qualifications. While the technology firms strongly embrace the rhetoric of diversity and oppose discrimination in the workplace, Twine argues that closed social networks and routine hiring practices described by employees reinforce the status quo and reproduce inequality. The myth of meritocracy and gender stereotypes operate in tandem to produce a culture where the use of race-, color-, and power-evasive language makes it difficult for individuals to name the micro-aggressions and forms of discrimination that they experience. Twine offers concrete insights into how the technology industry can address ongoing racial and gender disparities, create more transparency and empower women from underrepresented groups, who continued to be denied opportunities.
Download or read book Urban Warfare written by Raquel Rolnik and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How finance and politics have caused the global housing crisis The most comprehensive survey of the current crisis, Urban Warfare charts how the financial crisis and wider urban politics have left millions homeless and in financial desperation across the world. The financialization of housing has become a global catastrophe, leaving millions desperate and homeless. Since the 2008 financial collapse, models of home ownership, originating in the US and UK, are being exported around the world. Using examples from across the globe, Rolnik shows how our cities have been sold to construction companies and banks, while supported by government-facilitated schemes, such as “the right to buy” subsidies and micro-financing. Our homes and neighbourhoods have become the “last subprime frontiers of capitalism,” organised by those who benefit the most.

Book Synopsis Strategic Impasse by : Juan E. Corradi
Download or read book Strategic Impasse written by Juan E. Corradi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Damned if you do; damned if you don’t" voices the strategic impasse the USA finds itself in today. Liberal interventionism and globalization—the two pillars of the international system—seem not to work. Explaining the inability of Western powers to enact wise initiatives, Corradi explores the de-coupling of political systems: we are connected with each other but disconnected from policy makers. The paradox of increased connectivity and collective disengagement sets a perverse dynamic between publics and elites, with a serious impact on world affairs. Corradi analyzes the social bases of present dilemmas and how incipient decline can be managed, and paralysis overcome.
