Book Synopsis Social Credit Economics by : M. Oliver Heydorn
Download or read book Social Credit Economics written by M. Oliver Heydorn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By presenting the key economic ideas of Major Clifford Hugh Douglas (1879-1952) in a clear, systematic, and comprehensive fashion, this work constitutes an academic standard of reference for those who wish to obtain a more advanced understanding of Social Credit economics. It is divided into three parts covering Douglas' diagnosis regarding the nature and cause of economic dysfunction in the modern, industrialized world, his prognosis, including an evaluation of the conventional methods of macroeconomic management, and, finally, his remedial principles and proposals. Just as Douglas' analysis goes to the very heart of what is structurally wrong with the financial and economic systems of contemporary civilization, "Social Credit Economics" effectively captures and distills the essence of his economic thought, rendering it more easily accessible to the broadly educated and reflective reader.
Book Synopsis The Chinese Social-Credit System Experience by : Robert Netkin
Download or read book The Chinese Social-Credit System Experience written by Robert Netkin and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Chinese Social-Credit System Experience - A National Reputation System In The Making" is a subject very much calling out to be further explored by Americans, in particular. What follows is an examination of a social, business, political and legal point-based system for determining good and bad businesses and citizens - among other things; and what can result from such ratings.What this book presents is the views of journalists and scholars looking from the outside, but also of journalists and scholars looking at this significant social, business, political and legal development from the inside - and even from one of the most important developers of the system himself!Lin Junyue is the name of that developer, and in the highly detailed article "Retrospect: 1999-2009 Achievements In Social Credit Construction Of China", he tells the important early story of the development of the Chinese Social-Credit System. It is foundational information that sets the stage for the studies which follow in the book - among them, the most important feature the writings and translation work of Rogier Creemers.Yes, the scholar, Rogier Creemers, is an important contributor to understanding the amazing breadth of details involved in this social credit system. He lends crucial translation and editing work to the official Chinese government presentation of the "Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System (2014-2020)" of June 14, 2014, and updated on April 25, 2015. And he also brings great understanding of the system with his own article of May 9, 2018, titled, "China's Social Credit System: An Evolving Practice Of Control."There are numerous unfavorable critiques of such an enormous undertaking, with so many implications for Chinese political, economic, social and legal policy-making. But the development of such a system could have widespread global implications as well, if others should choose to use China's system as an example for their own! Probably the greatest criticism is directed at measures that could be seen as Orwellian, dystopian, Big Brother public/government intrusion, characterized by more widespread public surveillance, and less personal privacy. The other target of heavy criticism is the idea of using something like a very public point system to rate people and businesses - and the effects such ratings can have!Nevertheless there are some positives to a system like the one envisioned by the Chinese, if perhaps somewhat toned-down in terms of intrusiveness. The most positive feature, especially through the eyes of the Chinese, is that this is a "sincere" effort to bring more trustworthiness and moral value to the actions and behaviors of citizens, businesses and government officials. And in this day and age of what is happening in the U.S. politically, it's hard to find fault with such a sentiment! And the idea of bringing sincerity, trustworthiness and behavior based on better moral values is a longstanding and treasured Chinese aim and desire! As it "should" be globally!Especially important is that a great deal of this system has strong economic and potential legal implications for businesses in China - both domestic and foreign, because businesses and industrial development could be subject to strong government influence based on political, economical and social priorities determined by the central government!And globally, people need to be aware of what is happening in China, because of the implications these developments could have for the worldwide community, whatever the form their current social, political and economic systems take!

Book Synopsis China's Social Credit by : Zhai Xuewei
Download or read book China's Social Credit written by Zhai Xuewei and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses credit crisis issues in China from the aspect of individuals, enterprises, and government through investigations of six Chinese urban and rural areas. After China’s reform and opening up in the 1970s, a slew of new problems involving integrity, trust, and credit appeared with the establishment of a market economy and the creation of new business opportunities. To track these phenomena down to their very origins and to explore the theoretical principles underlying them through a truly holistic sociology, this book highlights a native Chinese perspective when dissecting and analysing the characteristics of their origins, mechanisms, and manifestations. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of economic sociology, Chinese studies, and those who are interested in the sociology of credibility in general.

Book Synopsis Social Discredit by : Janine Stingel
Download or read book Social Discredit written by Janine Stingel and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000-02-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining Social Credit's anti-Semitic propaganda and the reaction of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Stingel details their mutual antagonism and explores why Congress was unable to stop Social Credit's blatant defamation. She argues that Congress's ineffective response was part of a broader problem in which passivity and a belief in "quiet diplomacy" undermined many of its efforts to combat intolerance. Stingel shows that both Social Credit and Congress changed considerably in the post-war period, as Social Credit abandoned its anti-Semitic trappings and Congress gradually adopted an assertive and pugnacious public relations philosophy that made it a champion of human rights in Canada. Social Discredit offers a fresh perspective on both the Social Credit movement and the Canadian Jewish Congress, substantively revising Social Credit historiography and providing a valuable addition to Canadian Jewish studies.

Book Synopsis Social Classes and Social Credit in Alberta by : Edward Bell
Download or read book Social Classes and Social Credit in Alberta written by Edward Bell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1994-05-31 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years scholars have maintained that Social Credit was a protest on the part of small-scale farmers, who fought against their disadvantaged position in advanced capitalism by rejecting central Canada's control of the prairie region. The protest is usually described as conservative and its supporters portrayed as small agrarian capitalists who combined their opposition to regional exploitation with a firm commitment to capitalism. Based on a review of census materials on occupations, election results, and the party's statements and appeals, Bell reveals that this traditional interpretation is misguided on several counts. He provides a greatly revised picture of the movement's popular class base and its goals and motives, and shows that it was far more radical than commonly believed. The theory of social movements Bell draws from this analysis is applicable not only to Social Credit but to social movements in general. Social Classes and Social Credit in Alberta will be of particular interest to sociologists, political scientists, and historians concerned with Canadian social movements and elections and the political history of the Great Depression.
Download or read book Debt for Sale written by Brett Williams and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credit and debt appear to be natural, permanent facets of Americans' lives, but a debt-based economy and debt-financed lifestyles are actually recent inventions. In 1951 Diners Club issued a plastic card that enabled patrons to pay for their meals at select New York City restaurants at the end of each month. Soon other "charge cards" (as they were then known) offered the convenience for travelers throughout the United States to pay for hotels, food, and entertainment on credit. In the 1970s the advent of computers and the deregulation of banking created an explosion in credit card use—and consumer debt. With gigantic national banks and computer systems that allowed variable interest rates, consumer screening, mass mailings, and methods to discipline slow payers with penalties and fees, middle-class Americans experienced a sea change in their lives. Given the enormous profits from issuing credit, banks and chain stores used aggressive marketing to reach Americans experiencing such crises as divorce or unemployment, to help them make ends meet or to persuade them that they could live beyond their means. After banks exhausted the profits from this group of people, they moved into the market for college credit cards and student loans and then into predatory lending (through check-cashing stores and pawnshops) to the poor. In 2003, Americans owed nearly $8 trillion in consumer debt, amounting to 130 percent of their average disposable income. The role of credit and debt in people's lives is one of the most important social and economic issues of our age. Brett Williams provides a sobering and frank investigation of the credit industry and how it came to dominate the lives of most Americans by propelling the social changes that are enacted when an economy is based on debt. Williams argues that credit and debt act to obscure, reproduce, and exacerbate other inequalities. It is in the best interest of the banks, corporations, and their shareholders to keep consumer debt at high levels. By targeting low-income and young people who would not be eligible for credit in other businesses, these companies are able quickly to gain a stranglehold on the finances of millions. Throughout, Williams provides firsthand accounts of how Americans from all socioeconomic levels use credit. These vignettes complement the history and technical issues of the credit industry, including strategies people use to manage debt, how credit functions in their lives, how they understand their own indebtedness, and the sometimes tragic impact of massive debt on people's lives.

Book Synopsis The New Politics of Numbers by : Andrea Mennicken
Download or read book The New Politics of Numbers written by Andrea Mennicken and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers unique insight into how and where ideas and instruments of quantification have been adopted, and how they have come to matter. Rather than asking what quantification is, New Politics of Numbers explores what quantification does, its manifold consequences in multiple domains. It scrutinizes the power of numbers in terms of the changing relations between numbers and democracy, the politics of evidence, and dreams and schemes of bettering society. The book engages Foucault inspired studies of quantification and the economics of convention in a critical dialogue. In so doing, it provides a rich account of the plurality of possible ways in which numbers have come to govern, highlighting not only their disciplinary effects, but also the collective mobilization capacities quantification can offer. This book will be invaluable reading for academics and graduate students in a wide variety of disciplines, as well as policymakers interested in the opportunities and pitfalls of governance by numbers.

Download or read book The West written by Conway, John F. and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2006 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In time for Alberta's and Saskatchewan's 100th anniversary of Confederation, political commentator and writer John Conway examines the unique way the West has shaped the rest of Canada. The Riel Rebellions, the Winnipeg General Strike, the founding of the CCF, Social Credit and Reform parties, the struggle for provincial control of resources -- much of the impetus for political, social and economic change in Canada has come from the West. From pre-Confederation to the present, author John Conway, himself a Westerner, tells the story of the colourful and controversial figures who molded the region. His lively history of the West and its peoples offers insight into the experience of Western Canadians and documents their contribution to Canadian economic and political life. The third edition of this popular and successful history describes Stephen Harper's arrival on the political scene, as well as the rise and fall of such figures as Grant Devine, Bill Vander Zalm, Glen Clark, Roy Romanow, and Stockwell Day. It also describes how the West, the cradle of Canadian social democracy, was transformed into the bastion of the right during the last decade.
Download or read book The Stasi written by David Childs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stasi were among the most successful security and intelligence services in the Cold War. Behind the Berlin Wall, colleagues, friends, husbands and wives, informed on each other. Stasi chief, General Mielke, prided himself on this situation. Under Marcus Wolf, Stasi agents were spectacularly successful in gaining entry into the West German Establishment and NATO. Some remain undiscovered. Now, for the first time in English, two British experts reveal how the Stasi operated. Based on a wealth of sources, including interviews with former Stasi officers and their victims, the book tells a fascinating yet frightening story of unbridled power, misguided idealism, treachery, widespread opportunism and lonely courage.
Book Synopsis The Economy of Obligation by : C. Muldrew
Download or read book The Economy of Obligation written by C. Muldrew and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an excellent work of scholarship. It seeks to redefine the early modern English economy by rejecting the concept of capitalism, and instead explores the cultural meaning of credit, resulting from the way in which it was economically structured. It is a major argument of the book that money was used only in a limited number of exchanges, and that credit in terms of household reputation, was a 'cultural currency' of trust used to transact most business. As the market expanded in the late-sixteenth century such trust became harder to maintain, leading to an explosion of debt litigation, which in turn resulted in social relations being partially redefined in terms of contractual equality.
